谢尔福德路的房子是对交叉口及其对场地独特性的反应的探索。该建筑位于一个三角形地块的死胡同尽头，由两个二分体组成，在几何上回应了它们各自邻近的环境。
The house at Shelford Road is an exploration of intersections and their response to the distinctiveness of the site. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac with a triangular-shaped plot, the building consists of two dichotomous volumes that respond geometrically to their respective adjacent contexts.
深灰色的体量直接与邻近的房屋相连，是为了最大限度地满足允许的建筑围护结构控制准则；与之相对应的是一个对比鲜明的体量，它与道路、邻近的房屋和三角形地块的边界条件相呼应，具有更多的构造质量。每层楼都有小块的花园空间，周围种植着茂盛的植物，以柔化强烈的几何体量。建筑群的几何构成使自然光和通风进入可居住的空间。
A dark grey volume that directly connects with the neighboring house was a derivative of maximizing the permissible building envelope control guidelines; juxtaposed with a contrasting volume that echoes a more tectonic quality of radiating masses corresponding to the road, neighboring houses, and triangular site boundary condition. Pockets of garden spaces with lush planting on every floor surround the building to soften the strong geometric volumes. The resultant geometric composition of the blocks allows natural light and ventilation into the habitable spaces.
由公共和半公共区域组成的一、二层在视觉上和物理上都被一个隐藏在道路之外的双容积遮蔽天井所连接。遮蔽的天井是下层建筑向道路辐射的结果，为家庭创造了一个隐蔽的避风港，使他们可以在空间中聚集和蜿蜒。在上层，也就是亲密空间所在的地方，街区向道路开放，形成户外露台，可以看到附近的全景。可移动的铝制屏风为卧室和家庭休息室提供了额外的隐私和遮阳。
The first two floors consisting of public and semi-public areas are visually and physically connected by a double-volume sheltered patio hidden away from the road. The sheltered patio is a result of the lower block radiating towards the road, creating a hidden haven for the family to gather and meander through the spaces. On the upper floors, where the intimate spaces are located, the block opens out towards the road forming outdoor terraces with panoramic views of the vicinity. Movable aluminum screens provide added privacy and shade from the sun for the bedrooms and family lounge.
业主是一位呼吸科医生，他的设计方案的一个主要特点是，他们的家将提供一个休息的地方，并确保在大流行病期间自我隔离的情况下，家庭的其他成员能够得到安全。通过将阁楼设计成一个独立的空间，配备所有必要的设施和充足的自然通风，以促进隔离期间的身体和精神健康。由此产生的新家庭住宅在其背景、外部形式和内部空间的构成之间有着密切的关系。
A key feature of the owner’s brief, being a respiratory physician, was that their home would provide a place of respite and additionally ensure that the rest of the family was kept safe in the event of self-quarantine during the pandemic. This was achieved through the attic being designed as an autonomous space equipped with all the necessary facilities and ample natural ventilation, to promote physical and mental well-being while in quarantine. The resultant new family house has a strong relationship between its context, its external form, and the composition of its internal spaces.
