一个潜望镜，被冲到了沙滩上。海洋中一定有很多这样的潜望镜，但这个潜望镜却很出人意料：它半埋在地下，两端探出头来，像一条快乐的海虫，在和它的尾巴聊天。潮汐将它冲刷得晶莹剔透；镜子将光线折射到它的埋藏室中。一条阳光下的通道，在沙地上流淌。
A periscope, washed-up on the beach. The oceans must be full of them and yet this is quite unexpected: half buried with its ends poking out like a happy seaworm, chatting to its tail. The tides have washed it crystalline; mirrors bend the light to fill its buried chambers. A single sunlit passage, coursing through the sand.
把小房子设计好，有一种特别的快乐。在里士满一个密集的城市口袋里，在一个只有84平方米的场地上，这个房子特别小。这里的主要挑战是空间、自然光和垂直循环。巧妙的是，所有这三个问题都通过一个解决方案得到了解决：潜望镜。
There’s a particular joy derived from designing a small house well. In a dense urban pocket of Richmond, on a site of just 84m2, this one’s particularly small. The key challenges here were space, natural light, and vertical circulation. Rather neatly, all three have been addressed with a single solution: the periscope.
房子中央的双高空间不受限制，为从这里溢出的空间提供了一点奢华。由于场地狭窄，这里应该是房子里最黑暗的部分，然而，一个与房子全宽的天窗，像一场突如其来的太阳雨，将光线淹没。楼梯就是在这个苍穹下升起的。空间、光线和运动是一个单一的姿态；镜面屏风放大了这些效果，从院子和天空中吸引了整个房子的视野。
A double-height void in the center of the house defies constraint, lending a little luxury to the spaces that spill from it. Being on a narrow site, this ought to be the darkest part of the house and yet, a sky window, the full width of the property, inundates light like a sudden sun shower. It is into this firmament that the staircase rises. Space, light, and movement in a single gesture; a mirrored screen amplifies these effects, drawing views through the house, from both the courtyard and the sky.
