架构师提供的文本描述。这份简报要求提供各种各样的空间，为聚会提供广阔的环境，并邀请内圣所进行独处或沉思，这一切都是在一所有足够地位和休息的房子内设置的，以解决四面八方巨大的中维多利亚式联排别墅的问题。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief called for a variety of spaces, offering expansive settings for gathering, and inviting inner sanctums for moments of solitude or contemplation.This was all to be set within a house of sufficient stature and repose to address the massive mid-Victorian townhouses on all sides.

客户把他们的新房子和一套量身定做的西装作了类比-从整体上看，这套西装可识别、优雅和简单，但在细节上却透露出个性和物质财富。

The clients drew an analogy between their new house and a tailored suit - recognisable, elegant and simple when viewed as a whole, but revealing individuality and material opulence in detail.

一座房屋曾矗立在该遗址上，但在二战中被轰炸摧毁。自那时以来，该区已被指定为自然保育区，而邻近的建筑物亦已取得“闪电”的权利，因此，“赢”规划许可涉及微妙和旷日持久的多边谈判。

A house previously stood on the site but, was destroyed by bombing in WW2. Since then, the locality has been designated a Conservation Area and neighbouring buildings have acquired Rights to Light.Winning Planning Permission therefore involved delicate and protracted multilateral negotiation.

制作了一系列模型，以开发该建筑复杂的斜面形式及其石头和渲染外观。最近，RIBA在“建筑公开展”和“游击战术”活动上展出了这些研究中的一些内容；它们现在波特兰广场永久展出。

A series of models were produced to develop the building’s complex, bevelled form and its stone and render façade. A selection of these studies were recently exhibited by the RIBA  at the ‘Architecture Open’ Exhibition and the ‘Guerrilla Tactics’ event; they are now permanently on display at Portland Place.

尽管当地很敏感，但这座有五间卧室的房子既不是旧楼的复兴，也不是针对不同立法要求的综合反应。相反，该项目寻求调和一种与其前身微妙不同的伦敦新住宅类型。房子的门面被设计成一系列从街道上退去的层层，它们被不同程度地提升、刺穿或扇开，以让光线照射到室内。

Despite the local sensitivities, the five bedroom house is neither a resurrection of the pre-existing building, nor an aggregation of responses to different legislative requirements. Instead, the project seeks to reconcile a new London house type, subtly differentiated from its forbears. Conceived as a series of layers receding from the street, the house’s façades are variously lifted, punctured or fanned open to allow light to the interior.

这条街道的外墙-由承重的罗马砖块、渲染和卡拉拉阿拉贝斯卡托大理石组成的覆盖面-指的是其传统邻居的比例。房子前部的大量处理被溶解在侧面的正面，它向外弯曲以收集光线，追踪城市谷物中的一条断层线。这堵陡峭的砖墙让位于一块石头鳍的屏风，它遮住了后面的透明玻璃。这道屏障为居住者和邻居提供了隐私和过滤的光线。

The street façade - in overlayed planes of loadbearing Roman- format brick, render and Carrara Arabescato marble – refers to its classic neighbours’ proportions. The massive treatment of the front part of the house is dissolved along the flank façade, which is cranked outwards to gather light, tracing a faultline in the urban grain. The sheer, brickwork wall gives way to a screen of stone fins that conceal sheer glazing behind.This barrier affords privacy and filtered light to both the occupants and their neighbours.

这些条纹，磨料纹理和华丽的，纹理的石头的对比面被高高的，青铜框架的窗户打断。安装了透明玻璃或实心青铜通风板，并由内部百叶窗支持，他们揭示了建筑的深度。

These contrasting planes of striated, abrasive textures and sumptuous, textured stone are interrupted by tall, bronze- framed windows. Fitted with either sheer glazing or solid bronze ventilation panels and backed by internal shutters, they reveal the depth of the construction.
