这座房子是对1914年联邦风格的房子进行改建和增建，位于历史悠久的哈伯菲尔德郊区，距离悉尼中央商务区西部仅5公里。1990年代有问题的加建部分已被拆除，并增加了宽敞和现代的生活空间：开放式厨房、客厅和餐厅、娱乐室和阁楼改造。
This house is an alterations and additions to a 1914 Federation style house in the historic suburb of Haberfield, just five kilometres west of Sydney’s central business district. Parts of a problematic 1990s addition have been removed and spacious and contemporary living spaces added: open plan kitchen, living & dining room, entertainment room and attic conversion.
混凝土的优雅曲线从原建筑中穿过，展现在人们面前的是一个引人注目的庭院花园和后方的扩建部分。在这个非常大的街区的角落里，一个低矮的车库被改造成了一个拱形的小木屋空间，创造了一个宁静的休息场所和毗邻游泳池的娱乐区。
Graceful curves of off-form concrete are revealed in views through and past the original building, opening to a striking courtyard garden and extension to the rear. A low-ceilinged garage in the corner of the very large block has been converted into a vaulted cabana space, creating a peaceful retreat and recreation area adjacent to the pool.
房子的规划和使用可以通过两种不同的几何形状来解读；原来的四间卧室的房子，在20世纪80年代扩展到八个房间，具有你所期望的20世纪初的砖砌平房的理性的直线形式。
The plan and use of the house can be read through two distinct geometries; the original four-bedroom house, extended to eight rooms in the 1980’s, has the rational rectilinear form you would expect of a brick cottage from the turn of 20th century.
新的混凝土、玻璃和锌制的加建部分向北面的庭院和后花园倾斜。后部加建的决定性姿态是这个院子，它打破了房子的长体量，并延伸形成了一个雕塑般的第二入口，从原来的砖墙后面探出头来望向街道。
The new, concrete, glass and zinc addition scoops and leans into the northern courtyard and rear garden. The defining gesture of the rear addition is this courtyard which breaks up the long volume of the house and extends to form a sculpted second entry which peeks out to the street from behind the original brickwork.
这个第二入口预示着这个六口之家的日常来往，有一些角落可以隐藏书包和运动装备。一面弯曲的混凝土墙界定了进入宽敞的光线充足的厨房、餐厅和生活空间的通道。
This second entry anticipates the daily comings and goings of the family of six, with nooks to conceal school bags and sports gear. A monolithic curved concrete wall defines the passageway into the expansive light-filled kitchen, dining and living space.
