为我们善于交际、喜欢读书的客户设计了一个简单而有效的阶梯式后部扩建。预算为结构和材料提供了依据，创造了一个充满光线和独特的设计，对日常的家庭生活产生了变革性的影响。这个位于伦敦南部的爱德华式排屋的后部扩建项目是由简单和诚实的原则驱动的–受到适度预算的影响，但也有一个共同的愿景，即创造一些朴实无华但物质和空间上丰富的东西。
A simple but effective stepped rear extension for our sociable, book-loving clients. Budget informed structure and materials to create a light filled and unique design that has a transformative effect on everyday family life. This rear addition to an Edwardian terrace house in South London was driven by the principles of simplicity and honesty – influenced by a modest budget but also a shared vision to create something unpretentious but materially and spatially rich.
后面的扩建部分在平面上呈阶梯状，以回应两边现有的扩建部分，并减少对邻居的影响。它创造了一个新的家庭空间，将现有的后部起居室和厨房与新增加的空间结合起来，提供厨房、餐厅和生活区，每个区域都巧妙地定义在更大的空间内。
The rear extension is stepped in plan at the rear to respond to existing extensions on either side and reduce impact on neighbours. It creates a new family space by combining the existing rear living room and kitchen with the new additional space to provide kitchen, dining and living areas, each subtly defined within the larger space.
扩建部分使用了裸露的结构胶合板的木材结构，以减少钢结构的成本，并提供一些既能作为结构又能作为裸露的内部存储的东西。这种轻质的木格子随后被铺上一层红砖，以提供所需的外部覆层和坚固性。砖的结构是使用堆积键，用浅色、凹陷的砂浆突出材料的几何形状，并参考内部的结构木格。
A timber structure of exposed structural plywood was used for the extension to reduce steelwork costs and provide something that could act as both structure and exposed internal storage. This lightweight timber grid was then draped in a skin of red brick to provide external cladding and robustness where required. The bricks are constructed using a stack bond with a light, recessed mortar accentuating the geometry of the materials and referencing the structural timber grid internally.
整个项目的目标是允许和鼓励房屋的每一个元素成为它想要成为的东西–因此，门窗是简单的深灰色铝框，上面的门楣是在外部胶合板上镀了一层铅，地板和台面是浇铸的混凝土。厨房的门面和储藏室是用结构板形成的，以配合暴露的新结构。其结果是一个充满光线的家庭生活空间，既符合时代要求，又能与主屋一起舒适地坐着。”我们非常喜欢它–就像[nimtim]把我们脑子里的东西拿出来，完美地诠释了它–还有一些我们想不到的附加功能！”
The objective for the whole project was to allow & encourage each element of the house to be what it wanted to be – thus doors and windows are a simple dark grey aluminium frame, the fascias above are patinated lead over external plywood and the floor and worktops are a cast concrete. Kitchen fronts and storage are formed in structural ply to match the exposed new structure. The result is a light-filled family living space that is both of-its-time but comfortable sitting alongside the main house. “We love it so much – it’s like [nimtim] took what was in our brains and interpreted it perfectly – with some added extras we wouldn’t have thought of!”
