亚历山大之家（AH）是亚历山大公司的总部，我们的团队在这里工作，我们的客户在这里与我们会面。它是一个建筑住宅展示和一个专门建造的生活/工作场所，旨在挑战对住宅、土地、家庭和工作的预想。重要的是，AH也是一个探索可持续发展、碳封存和环境创新的原型。
An Overview – Alexander House (AH) is the home of Alexander &CO. where our team work from and where our clients meet with us. It is an architectural residential showcase and a purpose-built live/work set up aiming to challenge preconceptions of home, land, family and work. Importantly, AH is also a prototype for exploring sustainability, carbon sequestration and environmental innovation.
愿景 – 亚历山大之家是我们践行工艺的新方式。一个促进领导力、创造力和学习的勇敢的空间。AH被设计成一个安全的反思、实验和培养创新精神的空间，是我们的论文、原型和我们的团队和社区测试和挑战想法的地方。我们期待着举办活动，”创意对话”，并利用AH就我们的行业、影响和我们引入变革的潜力展开更广泛的对话。
The Vision – Alexander House is our new way of practicing our craft. A courageous space to foster leadership, creativity and learning. Designed as a safe space for reflection, experimentation and to nurture the creative spirit, AH is our thesis, prototype and a place for our team and community to test out and challenge ideas. We look forward to hosting events, “Creative Conversations” and utilizing AH to open a wider dialogue on our industry, impacts and our potential to introduce change.
我们对本地艺术家充满热情，并正在讨论一个移动画廊的概念–甚至可能是未来的艺术家驻场。我们也致力于教育和吸引我们的团队参与和解，并且已经聘请了来自Gaimaragal集团的Susan Moylan-Coombs主持一系列的 “文化对话”。我们期待着与我们的团队和更广泛的社区分享这些讨论。
We are passionate about local artists and are underway with discussions regarding a moving gallery concept – perhaps even a future artist in residence. We are also committed to educating and engaging our team around reconciliation and have engaged Susan Moylan-Coombs from the Gaimaragal Group to host a series of ‘Cultural Conversations’. We are looking forward to sharing these discussions with our team and wider community.
材料–除了回收的木材和来自废料的夯土砖，混凝土、抛光石膏、钢、黄铜和石头等有凝聚力的材料调色板都支持我们的审美观点，促进了一种 “发现 “的感觉。我们选择了本质上不完美的饰面和材料。材料具有深刻的表现力，被选择来显示它们的年龄，就像喷砂的木材和黄铜一样，随着时间的推移会变黑和发展。
The Materials – As well as reclaimed timbers, rammed earth bricks from waste materials, a cohesive material palette of concrete, polished plaster, steel, brass and stone accents have all supported our aesthetic vision which fosters a ‘found’ feeling. We have chosen finishes and materials which are inherently imperfect. Materials are deeply expressive and were selected to show their age, as is the case with the sandblasted timber and brass which could blacken and develop over time.
空间–作为一个设计实验室，AH支持多种用途，包括合作、会议和个人时间的工作环境。场地的限制鼓励了我们的团队在狭小的露台空间内实现各种项目功能的创造性，四个楼板中的每一个都被设计成独立的项目，并随着时间的推移而过渡。这里有私人的外部空间和内部环境，在材料、规模、照明和体量方面都有所不同。每个空间都让我们既能为客户提供真正的住宅展示体验，又能为我们的团队提供灵活的工作环境。
The Space – Conceived as a design laboratory, AH supports a diversity of uses including; working environments for both collaboration, meetings and solo time. Site limitations encouraged creativity when it came to encompassing the various program functions our team required within the small terrace footprint with each of the four floor plates conceived to be programmed separately and transition with time. There are both private exterior spaces and internal environments which vary in material, scale, lighting and volume. Each space allows us to provide both a true residential showcase experience for our clients and a flexible working environment for our team.
