Chamfer House重新审视了Kevin Borland在1977年设计的柱梁式住宅。它坐落在奥利弗山的一个成熟的花园里，这是一个俯瞰菲利普港湾的后期现代主义的熔炉。我们的客户在入住后不久就找到了我们。他们希望保护他们所喜爱的木质结构和天花板，同时也要更新房子以适应他们年轻的家庭。
Chamfer House revisits a post and beam dwelling designed in 1977 by Kevin Borland. It sits within an established garden on Oliver’s Hill, a crucible of late modernism overlooking Port Phillip Bay. Our clients approached us soon after moving in. They wanted to protect the timber structure and ceilings they loved, while also updating the house to suit their young family.
我们的干预采取了敏感的渗透策略。我们接触了每一个房间，有些房间比其他房间更重要，但保留了房子的核心个性：浪漫的理性主义，这也是博兰后来作品的特点。我们取消了计划，把70年代的迷幻药拉回来，重新配置了生活和睡眠区，以便更好地与花园连接。
Our intervention assumed a strategy of sensitive infiltration. We touched every room, some more heavily than others, yet retained the house’s core personality: the romantic rationalism that characterised much of Borland’s later work. We unkinked the plan, pulled back a touch on the 1970s psychedelics, and reconfigured the living and sleeping areas to better connect with the garden.
我们试图在结构的合理性和浪漫主义的并列基础上，将理性的空间序列与对倒角的爆炸性解释分层。博兰经常使用的装置，我们把它发展成一个三维的形式，从宏观尺度到微观的运作。从主卧室看出去的切面阳台窗台就是一个例子，我们定制的细木工件中的重复三角形图案也是如此。
We sought to build on the juxtaposition of structural rationality and romanticism, layering a rational spatial sequence with an exploded interpretation of the chamfer. A device used regularly by Borland, we developed it into a three dimensional form that operates from the macro scale to the micro. The faceted balcony soffit framing the view from the master bedroom is one example, as are the repetitive triangular motifs in our customized joinery hardware.
