艾莉森·布鲁克斯建筑师在伦敦北部扩建了一座十九世纪的房子，其中有两卷渐变的书，这些作品都是在花园里进行的。第一卷包裹在房子的侧面和后面的砖墙上创建一个家庭办公室，而第二卷延伸到后面以增加一楼客厅的大小。这些扩展是一个典型的维多利亚式半独立别墅的整体改造的一部分，一个客户涉及到摄影和设计。

Alison Brooks Architects has extended a nineteenth century house in north London with two tapered volumes that project into the garden. The first volume wraps around the brick walls at the side and rear of the house to create a home office, while the second volume extends out at the back to increase the size of the first floor living room. The extensions are part of an overall transformation of a classic Victorian semi-detached villa for a client involved in photography and design.

该延长线被设计成由大梯形平面构成的一系列大孔，并将其连接起来。这些洞口捕捉了一整天的光线，把花园吸引到房子里，并精确地观察到一棵壮观的胡桃树。

The extension was designed as a series of large apertures framed and connected by large trapezoidal planes. These openings capture light throughout the day, draw the garden into the house, and frame precise views of a spectacular walnut tree.

该方案的每个平面要么是全玻璃的，要么是完全实心的，没有穿孔的窗户。这种方法创建了一个没有质量和重量的体系结构。更像是折纸的表面。在侧投影和后投影会聚的地方，七个面在一个点上会合在一起。

Each plane of the scheme is either fully glazed or fully solid, there are no punched windows. This approach creates an architecture without mass and weight. It is more like the folded surfaces of origami. Where the side and rear projections converge, seven surfaces come together at one point.

为了实现十方梯形办公延伸的低姿态，ABA降低了现有地下室，挖掘了一个新的下陷庭院，形成了一个面向街道的办公入口。这个新的底层连接着工作空间和房子。在花园一侧，建筑物轻轻地躺在地面上，墙壁被削得很低，以避免胡桃树的根部。在里面，屋顶的几何漏斗让光线一整天都进入工作空间。屋顶露台切入其中一个屋顶，产生一个反射面，并提高了悬浮表面的感觉。

To achieve the low profile of the ten-sided trapezoidal office extension, ABA lowered the existing basement and excavated a new sunken courtyard to form a street-facing office entrance. This new lower ground floor level connects workspace and house. On the garden side, the building rests lightly on the ground with undercut walls to avoid the walnut tree’s roots. Inside, the rooflight geometry funnels light into the workspace throughout the day. A roof terrace cuts into one of the roof, generating a light reflecting plane and heightening the sense of suspended surfaces.

客厅突出的海湾窗户像画框一样聚焦在胡桃树上，它还通过屋顶的一部分将光线从上面拉进客厅。在海湾的窗户下，一堵新的玻璃墙打开了，把餐厅和外面的一个小露台连接起来。从这里，一扇隐蔽的门创造了通往办公室的第二个入口。

The living room’s projecting bay window focusses on the walnut tree like a picture frame.  It also pulls light from above into the living room through a segment of its roof. Beneath the bay window a new wall of glass slides open to link the dining room with a small patio outside. From here a concealed door creates a second entrance to the office.

原来的起居室曾经是，ABA打开了一个新的双高卷。这个空间把南光吸引到房子的深处，就像一个“大厅”，在原来的底层入口大厅和厨房/餐厅空间之间创造了一个强大的视觉连接。延伸部分的折叠几何图形继续延伸到房子的表面，由钢壁炉、悬臂式厨房和其他“有人居住的墙壁”组成；现代家庭生活的各种框架设置。

Where the original living room once was, ABA has opened a new double height volume. This space draws south light deep into the house, and like a ‘great hall’, creates a powerful visual connection between the original upper ground floor entrance hall and kitchen/dining space. The folded geometries of the extensions continue into the house to become surfaces punctuated by steel fireplaces, a cantilevered kitchen and other ‘inhabited walls’; a variety of framed settings for modern family life.
