原来的公证处，以一种非常特殊的方式与周围环境互动，五年前才投入使用。因此，对扩建的要求作出回应是一种精神上的挣扎。精心构思的设计不能容忍延续或复制，所以需要一个完全不同的方法。
The original notary, which interacts with its surroundings in a very specific way, was put into use only five years ago. Thus it was a mental struggle to respond to the request for an extension. Well conceived design does not tolerate continuation or copy, so a radically different approach was needed.
在六个月的时间里，一个抽象的镜子盒子在黑色的底座上沿着街道升起。这两个体积之间的透明通道取代了以前的建筑入口。
On a six-month period an abstract mirror box on a black base rose along the street. A transparent passageway between these two volumes replaces the former entrance of the building.
扩建部分不仅在物理上，而且在视觉上与现有的公证处相连。通过将窗户用白线包边，就像在原来的公证处一样，在一个主要的对比概念中创造了连接的概念。
The extension is not only physically, but also visually connected with the existing notary. By hemming the windows with a white line, just as in the original notary, the idea of connection is created within a predominantly contrasting concept.
俄勒冈松木结构的简单和重复性与坚实的砖块主体形成对比。但强大的反射外墙超越了所有这些周到的润色。
The simple and repetitive nature of the wooden construction in Oregon Pine contrasts with the solid brick main volume. But the powerful reflective facade surpasses all these thoughtful touches.
精致的细节是需要让体量散发出宁静的气息，并融入周围的景观中。镜面体量延续了周围树木和山坡的现实。
The refined details are needed to let the volume radiate tranquility and to blend into the surrounding landscape. The mirrored volume continues the surrounding reality of trees and slopes.
不锈钢包层中的轻微蜂巢使设计消失于无形，就像一个流体。这种疏离的效果也确保了原有建筑的表达方式得以保留。
The slight swarm in the stainless steel cladding makes the design disappear into nothing, like a fluid. This alienating effect also ensures that the expression of the original building will remain.
