卡塞尔街的房子是在南亚拉的一个拐角处建造的精品新房，它取代了一个附属的爱德华时代的排屋，坐落在类似年份的房屋中。这座房子的设计是为了同情这个时期，但不模仿任何特定的风格，同时又不失现代感。
Cassell Street house is a boutique new home built on a corner block in South Yarra, built in place of an attached Edwardian row house and set amongst homes of a similar vintage. The house was designed to be sympathetic with the period but not mimetic of any particular style, whilst remaining unapologetically contemporary.
有限的材料，如石灰华、锈迹斑斑的木材、混凝土和钢，浇筑在一个强大的直角形上，使建筑看起来比实际年龄更大–看起来好像在另一个世界，它很可能自1930年代以来一直站在它的位置上没有改变。
The limited material palate of natural and aged materials such as travertine, rusticated timber, concrete & steel cast over a strong rectilinear form work to give the building the quality of looking older than it is – to look as though in an another world it could well have been standing in its place unchanged since the 1930s.
由于位于街角，一楼的形式从街上看非常明显，路人可以看到所有的侧面。因此，定制的材料处理被认为是一种适当的城市姿态。复杂的石灰华外墙由10块不同大小的石板组成，这些石板来自同一个采石场的对面，有两种不同的颜色。石材立面的带状质量参考了拜占庭式建筑，并参考了业主的遗产。
Being sited on a corner block, the first floor form in particular is highly visible from the street with all sides visible to the passer by. A bespoke material treatment was thus considered an appropriate urban gesture. The complex travertine façade is made up of 10 different sized slabs of stone laid in bands sourced from opposite sides of the same quarry producing two distinct colours. The banding quality of the stone façade is referential of Byzantine buildings in a reference to the owner’s heritage.
一楼立面的石灰华墙体上形成的深孔，使建筑成为一个单一的、巨大的石头建筑，这样做是为了遮挡和保护西部的窗户，并保护居住者免受附近主要道路的影响。
The deep apertures formed in the travertine walls of the first floor façade make the building read as a singular and massive stone edifice and in doing so shade and shelter the western windows as well as protecting the occupant from the nearby major road.
相比之下，楼下的特点是宽大的玻璃，将生活区与环绕建筑的隐蔽的花园空间相连接。
By contrast, downstairs is characterised by expansive glazing, opening the living areas to the secluded garden space which surrounds the building.
游客从街道进入建筑的中心，毗邻一个弯曲的楼梯，从地下室的车库到楼上的卧室，共三层。弯曲的楼梯与外部的直线形式形成了鲜明的对比，并被用作分隔装置，将底层的生活区域界定为两个不同的区域。白天/夏季区域面向北方，可以俯瞰游泳池和户外饮食区；夜间/冬季区域面向南方和东方，进入更有遮蔽的后院。
A visitor enters from the street into the heart of the building adjacent a curving staircase rising three floors from basement garage to the upstairs bedrooms. The curving staircase contrasts with the rectilinear form of the exterior and is used as a separation device to define the ground floor living areas into two distinct zones: The day/summer areas facing north and overlooking a pool and outdoor eating area; the night/winter areas facing south and east into the more sheltered back yard.
