我们把房子与北边隔开，建造了一个朝北的庭院。落叶种植在夏季提供阴凉处，并在整个场地内增加植物，以改善室内空气质量。屋顶花园坐落在周围的屋顶上，依偎在树冠上，充当着城市环境中的绿洲。

We offset the house from the north boundary and created a courtyard with north facing windows. Deciduous planting provides shade in summer, with additional plants integrated throughout the site to improve the indoor air quality. Perched above the surrounding rooftops and nestled in the tree canopies, a roof garden acts as an oasis from the urban environment.

被动采暖是由一个两层北面的空隙提供的，阳光可以穿透房屋深处，加热暴露的混凝土地板和天花板的热质量。被动式冷却是由窗户提供的，以捕捉由庭院植物和池塘冷却的微风，而两层的空隙则通过堆栈效应促进自然散热。

Passive heating is provided by a two storey north facing void that allows sun to penetrate deep into the house, heating the thermal mass of exposed concrete floor and ceiling. Passive cooling is provided by windows located to catch breezes cooled by the courtyard plants and pond, while a two storey void facilitates natural heat removal through stack effect.

最终的结果是一个活生生的、有呼吸的、可持续的空间，这是一种居住的乐趣。

The end result is a living, breathing, sustainable space that is a pleasure to inhabit.
