一个棱角分明的木头形状似乎漂浮在考菲尔德一条安静的小巷的尽头。这个优雅的、雕塑般的元素坐落在时代和现代住宅的混合体中，是最近完成的SJB住宅项目Cantala所提供的许多缓慢展示中的第一个。
An angular timber form appears to float at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Caulfield. Set amid a mix of period and contemporary residences, this elegant, sculptural element is the first of many slow reveals offered up by the recently completed SJB residential project, Cantala.
一个由25个多层联排别墅和44个低层公寓组成的住宅开发项目被展示出来。在Cantala，SJB在当代场所建设的最佳效果和墨尔本郊区绿树成荫的美学之间取得了一个美丽的平衡。
A residential development is revealed comprising 25 multi-storey townhouses and a block of 44 low-rise apartments. At Cantala, SJB has struck a beautiful balance between the best of contemporary place-making and the sought-after aesthetics of leafy Melbourne suburbia.
Cantala最令人印象深刻的慢镜头之一是整个开发项目是可以步行的。通过释放通常给车辆的地面空间，SJB可以更专注于为人创造场所。这一决定使得场地内引入了一系列相连的道路和庭院。
从附近的丹德农路（Dandenong Road）的艺术装饰建筑中得到微妙的启发，Cantala的公寓楼外墙都是为了最大限度地提高视觉吸引力和减少视觉冲击。
One of Cantala’s most impressive slow reveals is the fact the entire development is walkable. By freeing up ground level space usually given to vehicles, SJB could focus more on creating places for people. This decision enabled the introduction of a series of connected paths and courtyards within the site.
Taking subtle cues from the art deco buildings found along nearby Dandenong Road, Cantala’s apartment building facade is all about maximising visual appeal and minimising visual impact.
坎塔拉的邻里氛围通过以下事实得到强调：许多联排别墅居民的地址来自这些内部街道。 沿着场地边缘的公共通道，通向丹德农路的有轨电车，被用作公寓和联排别墅居民的一种内部汇合点。
Cantala’s neighbourhood vibe is emphasised by the fact that many townhouse residents take their address from these internal streets. Public thoroughfares running along one edge of the site and leading through to the Dandenong Road trams has been used as a kind of internal convergence point for both apartment and townhouse residents.
作为对其自然采光外观的补充，该公寓楼的大堂有一个三层高的玻璃入口，吸引居民进入大楼，在晚上就像一个欢迎的灯笼。这不仅仅是一个引人注目的入口，它通过鼓励居民使用楼梯而不是电梯，将Cantala对健康和福祉的关注带入室内。
Complementing its naturally light exterior, the apartment building’s lobby features a triple-height glazed entry that draws residents into the building, acting as a welcoming lantern at night. Not just a dramatic entrance, it brings indoors Cantala’s focus on health and wellbeing by encouraging residents to use the stairs rather than the lift.
坎塔拉对居住的类型提出质疑，并挑战公共与私人的概念。它也挑战了一个建筑或公寓楼或联排别墅应该是什么样子的概念。
Cantala questions the typology of living and challenges the notion of public versus private. It also challenges the notion of what a building or an apartment building or townhouse should look like.
