对伊斯灵顿的一个前地方当局的住宅进行了大修，新建了一个木制回廊，环绕着一个隐藏的庭院和一系列意想不到的空间，围绕着一个三角形的柱子旋转。伊斯灵顿的格罗夫庄园建于20世纪80年代，由一排排不伦不类的单面房屋组成，通过狭窄的通道组成的迷宫进入，通道两侧是空白的砖墙。
Overhaul of an ex-local authority home in Islington with a new timber cloister that encircles a hidden courtyard and a series of unexpected spaces that pirouette around a triangular column. Built in the 1980s, Islington’s Grove Estate is composed of rows of nondescript single-aspect houses, accessed via a warren of narrow passageways which are flanked by blank brick walls.
旁边的通道看不见，皮鲁埃特之家的空间戏剧性在其令人惊讶的内部被揭示出来。一个木制回廊沿着一个新的庭院向两个方向展开，而厨房、餐厅和生活空间围绕着一个标志着新旧过渡的蓝色三角柱回旋。
Invisible to the adjacent passage, the spatial drama of Pirouette House is revealed in its surprising interior. A timber cloister unfurls in two directions along a new courtyard, while the kitchen, dining, and living spaces pirouette around a triangular blue column that marks the transition between old and new.
该项目是一个使用木材创造特色的试验台。深沉的、有节奏的红色鳍状物坐落在着色的块状物长椅上，与银灰色的精细落叶松板形成对比。在内部，温暖的道格拉斯枞木横梁和木板与钻石天窗穿插在一起，将光线模式投射到厨房。
The project is a test bed for the use of timber to create a character. Deep, rhythmic red fins sit atop a pigmented blockwork bench and contrast with fine silver-grey larch boards. Internally, warm douglas fir beams and boards are interspersed with diamond skylights that cast light patterns into the kitchen.
原色突出了细木工制品，蓝色的柱子、黄色的书架和赤土红色的楼梯使空间更加生动。秘密的庭院花园被设计成一个户外房间，采用了有节奏的桥墩语言，给外部带来了引人注目的存在感。在外部，木制框架滑出外墙，形成一个长凳，以捕捉正午的阳光。
Primary colors highlight the joinery, with the blue column, yellow bookshelf, and terracotta red staircase enlivening the space. The secret courtyard garden is designed as an outdoor room, picking up on the language of rhythmic piers that give the exterior a striking presence. Externally the timber frame slides beyond the façade to form a bench that catches the midday sun.
考虑到成本和碳的问题，该项目被设计为用现成的、具有成本效益的、低碳的材料来建造。它延长了一个不良建筑的寿命，改善了绝缘性，创造了交叉通风，并最大限度地利用了北立面的日光。其结果是一个实用和有趣的扩展，在其环境中感觉非常意外。
With cost and carbon in mind, the project was designed to be constructed out of readily available, cost-effective, and low-carbon materials. It extends the life of a poorly built aspect home, improving insulation, creating cross ventilation, and maximizing daylight on the north elevation. The outcome is a practical and playful extension that feels very unexpected in its setting.
