架构师提供的文本描述。一间花园工作室，装修成维多利亚时代典型的郊区住宅。花园变成了一个庭院的条件，这是由工作室和改造后的房子解决。位于花园的主工作室立面漂浮在玻璃面板之上，形成一个屏幕，将工作室的工作空间与国内花园分开。

Text description provided by the architects. A garden studio and refurbishment to a typical Victorian suburban house. The garden is transformed into a courtyard condition which is addressed by both the studio and the remodelled house. The main studio facade that addresses the garden floats above a glass panel and forms a screen to separate the work-space of the studio from the domestic garden.

所创造的庭院环境与传统的郊区花园有着不同的语言。它的主要特点是硬质景观的木材表面，这可以从正式的“公共”景观在平日变成一个儿童游乐场在周末。一系列木材舱口升降机，以揭示一个地下沙坑，一个消防坑和划水池与冷热水。木材花园也有一个小的圆形草坪和隐藏的泵和过滤系统的邻近池塘。

The courtyard condition created has a different language to the conventional suburban garden. It’s predominantly hard landscape is characterized by a timber surface, which can transform from formal “public” landscape in the weekdays into a children’s play area at the weekend. A series of timber hatches lift to reveal a subterranean sandpit, a fire pit and paddling pool with hot and cold plumbed water. The timber garden also houses a small circular lawn and the hidden pump and filter system for an adjacent pond.

工作室的材料参考了郊区的背景；木材覆层与国内围栏相呼应，瓦楞纸铝指的是战前预制车库和前安德森庇护所。工作室是超绝缘的，并受益于一个刚玉屋顶；暖气是由苹果Macintosh电脑提供的，偶尔诉诸地板下采暖。主立面沿其完整的长度是不支持的，并依靠悬臂侧壁。墙体施工完全采用无暗钢支撑框架的预应力叠层复合板。

The materials of the studio make reference to the suburban context; timber cladding echoes domestic fencing, corrugated aluminium refers to inter-war prefabricated garages and a former Anderson shelter. The studio is super-insulated and benefits from a sedum roof; heating is provided by Apple Macintosh computers with very occasional recourse to under floor heating. The main facade is unsupported along its full length and rests on cantilevered sidewalls. The wall construction is entirely from stressed ply composite panels with no hidden steel supporting frame.

随着从家里开始工作，家庭和工作空间之间的分离和阈值成为一个关键的考虑因素。一般情况下，家政工人占用一间空余的卧室或客厅，受到来自家庭环境的干扰而受到损害。通过在单独的Studio空间中定位工作区，可以克服这些缺点，但是这种方法需要灵活性和适应性。虽然演播室把花园作为一个浮动栅栏，以建立隔离，它也可以作为家庭空间，在周末和晚上；孩子们可以使用电脑(与他们自己的登录！)以及布置作业和游戏的表面。

With a move to working from home the separation and thresholds between domestic and workspace become a key consideration. Typically home workers occupy a spare bedroom or living room and are compromised with disruption from the domestic environment. By locating the workspace in a separate studio space these disadvantages are overcome, however there needs to be flexibility and adaptability with this approach. Whilst the studio addresses the garden as a floating fence to create separation it is also usable as a family space at weekends and evenings; the children are able to use the computers (with their own log-ins!) as well as layout surfaces for homework and play.
