This courtyard house in the south-west of England by architects Studio Octopi integrates flush thresholds and wide doorways as subtly as possible, so that no one would notice it was specifically designed for a resident in a wheelchair. 这个带有庭院的房子位于英国的西南部，由建筑师事务所Studio Octopi设计。房子尽可能巧妙地把齐平的门槛与宽大的正门结合起来，没有人会注意到这是为一位坐在轮椅上的居民特别设计的。
Named Orchard House, the building sits on the former site of a walled garden and orchard in Wiltshire and Studio Octopi was asked by the planning authorities to integrate the historic stone wall into the proposals, even though it had almost entirely eroded. “We had to reinstate the wall and this helped to form a series of compound courtyard spaces,” architect Chris Romer-Lee told Dezeen.
该建筑被命名为“果园屋”，坐落在威尔特郡一个带有围墙的庭院果园的旧址上。规划当局要求Studio Octopi把历史性的石墙整合到方案中，虽然石墙已经几乎完全被侵蚀。“我们必须修复石墙，这有助于形成一系列复合庭院空间。”建筑师Chris Romer-Lee告诉Dezeen。
The architects designed a two-storey house with both a staircase and a discreet lift, to enable easy access for a wheelchair without appearing unattractive. “The client was adamant that this house wouldn’t be dominated by her disabilities,” said Romer-Lee. “A family could easily live there without changing anything.”
建筑师设计了一栋两层楼的房子，同时带有一个楼梯和一个不显眼的电梯，以方便业主在不引人注意的情况下上下升降。“业主坚定地认为，这个房子不能受控于她的残疾。”Romer-Lee说，“家人可以轻易地住在那里，而不需要改变任何东西。”
The first floor runs along one side of the building, but is recessed around a double-height living room on the ground floor.
一层（译者注：即国内所说的二层）沿着房子的一侧建起，不过底层地两层通高的起居室也贯穿其中。
A wall of glazing separates this living room from the south-facing courtyard outside. “We began to look at the house as a protective environment, a kind of hideaway within a series of courtyard spaces,” explained Romer-Lee.
玻璃幕墙把起居室与南向的外庭院分隔开来。“我们一开始就把房子看作是一个防护性的环境，一个被一系列庭院空间环绕的隐匿处。”Romer-Lee解释说。
The main bedroom and work study are located on the ground floor, while a guest room and hobby studio occupy the top floor.
主人房和学习工作室位于底层，而一个客房和爱好工作室则占据了顶层。
For the exterior walls, the architects used a mixture of lime render and timber slats, intended to reference the agricultural buildings typical of the surrounding area.
对于外墙，建筑师混合使用了石灰粉刷与木材板条，试图参照周围区域的农业建筑的典型做法。
