一个成长中的家庭需要一个更大的厨房，并希望有一个能打开花园的家庭房间–然而，有一棵大树直接坐在现有的厨房旁边。这棵树受到家人的喜爱，他们喜欢在夏天坐在树下，看着季节的变化，但它离房子很近，挡住了光线和外面的景色。
A growing family needed a larger kitchen and wanted a family room that opened up the garden – there was, however, a large tree that sat directly next to the existing kitchen. It was loved by the family, they have enjoyed sitting under it in the summer, watching the seasons change against it but it was threateningly close to the house and blocking the light and views out.
我们的反应是创造一个扩展，其灵感来自于坐在树下的感觉。从不同的方向瞥见天空，光线也在不断变化，就像透过树枝往上看。屋顶的形式也允许光线进入到房间的后面。
Our response has been to create an extension that has been inspired by the feeling of sitting under a tree. Glimpsing the sky in different directions and with changing light as though looking up through its branches. The form of the roof, also allowed light to get to the back of the room.
我们的任务是创造一个具有一系列重叠功能的空间：一个厨房、一个餐厅、一个用于观看闪烁的灯光（无论是火还是电视）的小房间，以及一个花园房间。为了保持空间的开放性，我们在空间之间采用了阶梯式的水平，并在饰面上进行了调整。
Our brief was to create a space with a series of overlapping functions: a kitchen, a dining room, a snug for watching a flickering light (either fire or tv), and a garden room. To keep this open yet clearly demarked we used stepped levels between the spaces, and a shift in finishes.
厨房被抬高，木质地板延续了主屋的地板装饰。然后，地板向下延伸至餐厅，并进一步延伸至睡房。小屋和餐厅采用石灰岩饰面，一直延伸到花园。这强调了对坚实地面的切割和上面生长的树木。
The kitchen is elevated with a timber floor continuing the floor finish in the main house. The floor then steps down to the dining room and still further to the snug. The snug and the dining room are limestone finish which runs through to the garden. This emphasizes the cutting into the solid ground with the tree growing above.
