架构师提供的文本描述。Herringbone House位于Islington和Hackney交界的一条古色古香的街道上，坐落在一排可爱的维多利亚式露台、一家铁路酒馆以及当地的小石头和哥特式教堂(StJude和St Pauls)之间。离金斯兰路的喧闹声不远，它整齐地堆满了一个尴尬的楔形场地，这里曾经是车库/室外建筑/储藏室的主人。

Text description provided by the architects. The Herringbone House is on a quaint street on the borders of Islington and Hackney, sitting amongst a cute row of Victorian Terraces, a railway tavern and the small local stone and Gothic church (St Jude and St Pauls). Just away from the hubbub of Kingsland Road, it is neatly packed onto an awkward wedge-shaped site which used to play host to a garage / out-building / storage shed.

这所房子由两卷组成：一个山墙端卷，它被推到面对街道的场地的最前面，和一个矩形的设置卷，当场地向后变窄时，两者共同连接成一个空间。(见图2)人字形砖块的浅色，将房屋的两卷连成一格，并将房屋与街道上的其他建筑物隔开。

The house comprises of two volumes: a gable-ended volume which is thrust to the very front of the site facing the street, and a set back rectangular volume, which both co-join into one space as the site narrows towards the rear. (see image 2) The light shade of herringbone brickwork, articulates the houses’ two volumes and frames the picture windows setting the house apart from the other buildings on the street.

在房子的两端，两个有围墙的庭院空间给空间带来了自然的光和空气。在里面，大的玻璃开口处充满了自然光，由石灰木、白色无光大理石和珍珠色砖组成的轻质材料增强，开放的布局使人们可以看到房子的长度和光线。然后，这些房间从地板到天花板的窗户向后剥离，进入私人的、有围墙的庭院花园“房间”，这反映出佐伊也从外观内向的中国四合院类型或“四合院”中汲取了灵感。

At both ends of the house two walled courtyard spaces bring natural light and air in to the space. Inside, the large glazed openings flood the building with natural light; enhanced by the light material palette of limed wood, white matt marble and pearl coloured brick and the open layout enables views and light to flood through the length of house. The rooms then peel back, through pivoting floor-to-ceiling windows, onto private, walled courtyard garden ‘rooms’ reflecting the inspiration Zoe has also drawn from inward-looking Chinese courtyard house typologies or ‘Siheyuan’.
