这个前都柏林公司的房子，建于1922年，位于都柏林南部的一个三角形场地上。该市最古老的工业区之一，The Tenters，其名称来自于16世纪兴起的纺织业：亚麻布和织物被挂在广泛的晒场上的吊钩上。
This former Dublin Corporation house, built in 1922, lies on a triangular site in south Dublin. One of the city’s oldest industrial areas, The Tenters, derives its name from the fabric industry that sprung up in the 1600s: linen and fabrics were hung from tenterhooks in extensive drying fields.
我们的任务是扩大厨房，增加一个新的客厅/餐厅空间，并提供一个公用事业和存储空间。这涉及到拆除一个现有的车库，用一个扩展部分取代它，以填补侧面的空间，并环绕原有房屋的背面。我们保留了现有房屋的布局，将原来的起居室指定为电视室，并将厨房保留在房屋后面的原始位置。
Our brief was to enlarge the kitchen, add a new living/dining space and provide a utility and storage space. This involved demolishing an existing garage and replacing it with an extension that fills the space to the side and wraps around the back of the original house. We kept the layout of the existing house, designating the original living room as the TV room and keeping the kitchen in its original position at the back of the house.
在前面，我们增加了一堵新墙，与邻居的边界垂直，在后面，我们增加了一堵新墙，与房子的后面平行。在两者之间，我们整合了一个从前到后的生活-餐厅空间和一个小的公用事业室/客人厕所。尽管场地越来越小，但所有的新房间都是长方形的，辅助空间吸收了这些尴尬的角度。
To the front we added a new wall, perpendicular to the neighbor’s boundary and, to the rear, we added a new wall parallel with the back of the house. In between, we integrated a living-dining space running front to back and a small utility room/guest WC. Despite the tapering site, all of the new rooms are rectangular in shape and the ancillary spaces absorb the awkward angles.
公用事业室采用舌状和槽状的木材，涂成绿色，在厨房和餐厅空间之间提供了分隔。当你从大厅进入厨房时，它也掩盖了后花园的景色，让你绕过它的弧形边缘进入更大、更流畅的用餐-生活空间。
The utility room, clad in tongued and grooved timber and painted green, provides separation between the kitchen and dining spaces. It also conceals the view of the back garden as you enter the kitchen from the hall, diverting you around its curved edge into the larger, more flowing dining-living space.
这座单层扩建建筑的天花板结构由爱尔兰云杉托梁构成，在一个方形钢架内和周围横跨，如果将来需要，它可以支撑起一楼的客卧。
The ceiling structure of this single storey extension is made of Irish spruce joists spanning within and around a square steel frame, which can support a guest bedroom on the first floor should it be required in the future.
扩建部分的外墙是由黑色工程砖制成的，参考了原来房屋角落里独特的砖块四角。紧凑的花园–设计的一个关键元素–被划分为标准的铺路板和碎石区域，并种植了各种特色和遮挡植物。
The external walls of the extension are made of black engineered brick, referring to the distinctive brick quoins on the corners of the original houses. The compact gardens – a key element of the design – are zoned with areas of standard paving slabs and gravel and are planted with a variety of feature and screening plants.
