Description by architect: Challenging constraints can make projects uniquely original. A large 700mm-diameter water-main culvert pipe runs in the rear garden of this period property in North London. No foundation or machine digging is allowed to take place in close proximity of the pipe itself.

架构师描述：具有挑战性的约束可以使项目独树一帜。一条直径700毫米的大型涵洞管道在伦敦北部这一时期物业的后花园中运行。不允许在靠近管道本身的地方进行基础或机器挖掘。

This heavy constraint did not limit the ambition of extending this family home and opening connections with the garden, while balancing the need of protecting the privacy from the overlooking neighbouring properties.

这一沉重的限制并没有限制扩大这一家庭住宅和与花园建立联系的雄心，同时兼顾保护隐私的需要，使其不受可以俯瞰的邻近房产的影响。

The diagonal upward running direction of the large pipe has determined the stepped plan and section of the new additions.

大管道的对角向上运行方向决定了新加料的阶梯式方案和断面。

The small addition allowed the internal layout and garden to be radically re-organised to achieve a far more efficient and comfortable open-plan family living. There is now an intriguing and articulated continuity between the interior and the outdoors.

小规模的增加使内部布局和花园被彻底重组，以实现一个更加高效和舒适的开放式家庭生活。现在，室内和室外之间有一种耐人寻味的、清晰的连续性。

A special space next to the kitchen has been crafted to be an intimate glazed nook area floating above the outside ground.

一个特殊的空间旁边的厨房已经被设计成一个亲密的玻璃角落地区漂浮在外面的地面上。

Plenty of natural light floods the pockets of space from where the sky is visible.

大量的自然光从可见天空的地方涌向空间的口袋。

Different aspects of the garden are choreographed to visually expand the interior, while cooking, gathering around the new kitchen island or dining at the generous table.

花园的不同方面被设计成视觉上扩展内部，同时烹饪，聚集在新的厨房岛周围或在慷慨的餐桌上就餐。

A timber and glass-covered porch gives access to a welcoming outdoor room, consistently clad with larch boards on the walls and the articulated decked surfaces, that provide generous seating and flexible space to socialize.

木材和玻璃覆盖的门廊可以进入一个舒适的室外房间，墙壁上始终覆盖着落叶松板和铰接式装饰的表面，为社交提供了宽敞的座位和灵活的空间。

Larch Glulam beams complement the warm timber surfaces that are edged by dark concrete blocks defining rectilinear steps, retaining walls and solid planters in harmonic contrast to the transparency and lightness of of the glass nook enclosure and the facade brick textures.

落叶松格鲁兰梁补充了温暖的木材表面，这些木材表面由黑色混凝土砌块构成，定义了直线台阶、挡土墙和实心播种机，与玻璃角落外壳和正面砖结构的透明度和轻盈程度形成了和谐的对比。
