TDO建筑的目标是解决这个狭窄的，中间的梯田与折中相邻的建筑物和挑战，最大限度的自然日光，以新的单一方面的地下室层。由此产生的房子刚刚被列入2015年RIBA伦敦奖的入围名单，延续了这条街当代住宅建筑的优良传统，沃尔特·格罗皮乌斯(Walter Gropius)、马克斯韦尔·弗里(Maxwell Fry)和谢尔盖·切尔马

TDO Architecture’s ambition was to address this narrow, mid terraced plot with eclectic adjacent buildings and the challenge of maximising natural daylight to the new proposed single aspect basement level. The resulting house has just been shortlisted for the RIBA London Awards 2015 and continues the street’s fine tradition of contemporary residential architecture, to which Walter Gropius, Maxwell Fry and Serge Chermayeff contribute.

 Floor Plan

Tdo的现代方法是敏感的街道的多样性特征和丰富的遗产，他们的时代。正式街道立面的设计是基于当代对街的格鲁吉亚和维多利亚开窗节奏的重新诠释。街道不同的窗口层次和比例形成了一个网格。这个网格内的窗口开口和玻璃深度反映了内部隐私的相对必要性。邻近的玻璃，打开青铜板提供进一步的自然通风。其结果是一个高度，协调建筑的外部和内部条件。

TDO’s modern approach is sensitive to the street’s diverse character and rich heritage of buildings of their time. The design of the formal street elevation is based on a contemporary re-interpretation of the street’s Georgian and Victorian fenestration rhythm. A grid was generated from the street’s varied window levels and proportions. The window openings and glazing depth within this grid reflect the relative necessity for privacy internally. Adjacent to the glazing, opening bronze panels provide further natural ventilation. The result is an elevation that harmonises the building’s external and internal conditions.

使用的材料主要是青铜和砖。砖的使用借鉴了街道的语言，其固有的粗糙性质与青铜形成鲜明对比，它被用来以宝贵和精确的方式表达整个建筑的细节。这继续进入室内，在那里的楼梯和地板在地面水平被拉回边界墙，以提供空间和清晰的感觉，在进入时，通过建筑物的长景。楼梯是悬臂从地板，允许自然的日光从天窗在房子的顶部深到较低的地面水平的厨房。

The materials used are principally bronze and brick. The use of brick draws on the language of the street and its inherently rough nature is contrasted by the bronze, which is used to express details throughout the building in a precious and precise manner. This continues into the interior, where the stairs and floor plate at ground level are pulled back from the boundary walls to give a sense of space and legibility at the moment of entry with long views through the building. The staircase is cantilevered from the floor plates, allowing natural daylight to travel from a skylight at the top of the house deep into the lower ground level kitchen.
