Brickface是一个紧凑的建筑,位于墨尔本里士满现有房屋的后面。它包括一个位于地面的车库,一楼的工作室生活/客人卧室,以及一个屋顶平台。一个新的游泳池和娱乐平台扩展了住宅的娱乐区域,而屋顶平台成为缺失的生产性花园。现有房屋的主要生活区朝南,并向新的露台和游泳池开放。这一景观的背景是Brickface的高墙。

Brickface is a compact building situated at the rear of an existing house in Richmond, Melbourne. It consists of a garage at ground level, studio living/guest bedroom at first floor, and a roof deck. A new pool and entertaining deck extends the home’s entertaining area, while the roof terrace becomes the missing productive garden. The main living area of the existing house faces south and opens up onto the new terrace and pool. The backdrop to this view is the rising high wall of Brickface.

红砖与PGH活力系列(狂想曲和西瓜)的红色和蓝色釉面砖穿插在一起,以引入光与影、图案和色彩。建筑物的圆形窗户和护栏的雕塑形式与再生砖的特性相结合,软化了固体块。

The red brick is interspersed with contrasting red and blue glazed bricks from the PGH Vibrant range (Rhapsody and Watermelon) to introduce light & shadow, pattern and colour. The round windows of the building and the sculptural form of the parapet combine with the character of the recycled brick to soften the solid block.

砖面在两边的转角位置紧贴着巷道。该建筑是一排车库门和较新的附属建筑的终点,这些建筑从山上滚落。该建筑由回收的砖块建成,是一个坚实而安全的书架,呈现出一种看起来比沿街其他建筑更早存在的特征。

Brickface sits hard up to the laneway on two sides in a corner position. The building terminates a row of garage doors and newer outbuildings that tumble down the hill. Built from recycled bricks, the structure is a solid and secure bookend, that presents a character that looks to have existed well before the other buildings along the lane.
