由Studio Prineas设计的Cnr Virginia是对一个传统联邦住宅的创造性改造，它保留了传统住宅的亲密性和规模，同时为现代生活增加了一个广阔的后部。该住宅富有特色的正面被忠实地修复，在该住宅令人垂涎的肯辛顿内东郊保留了强烈的街景存在。在内部，Prineas工作室保留了房屋的历史骨架。清晰的白墙将人们的注意力吸引到定义时代的标志上，包括醇厚的木材地板、华丽的压制锡制天花板和铸铁壁炉。
An inventive reworking of a traditional Federation home, Cnr Virginia by Studio Prineas retains the intimacy and scale of the heritage home while overlaying an expansive rear addition for contemporary living. The home’s characterful front facade is faithfully restored, retaining a strong streetscape presence in the home’s coveted inner-eastern suburb of Kensington. Internally, Studio Prineas has preserved the historic bones of the home. Crisp white walls draw focus to era-defining hallmarks, including mellow timber flooring, ornate pressed-tin ceilings, and cast-iron fireplaces.
此外，通过一条精致的玻璃走道，新增加的建筑与原来的房子明显区分开来。一个相邻的庭院提供了一个充满活力的花园，种植了明智的澳大利亚本土植物，以保持住宅后方的丛林景观。一个较低的楼层将扩建部分从街道立面隐藏起来，解决了保护区域内严格的规划规定。俏皮地模仿联邦正面的倾斜体量，这个充满光亮的附加建筑融合了黑化木材和回收红砖的极简主义形式。室内延续了这些双重材料的表达方式，结合光滑和粗犷的饰面，在广阔的空间内创造出深度和尺寸。
Beyond, the new addition is clearly distinguished from the original house via a delicately glazed walkway. An adjacent courtyard gives a spirited garden aspect, planted with water-wise Australian natives in keeping with the home’s rear bushland views. A lowered floor level thoughtfully conceals the extension from the street elevation, addressing strict planning regulations of the conservation area locale. Playfully mimicking the pitched volumes of the Federation frontage, the light-filled addition merges minimalist forms articulated in blackened timber and recycled red brick. The interior continues these dual material expressions, combining sleek and rugged finishes to create depth and dimension within the expansive space.
厨房采用了黑色的Paperock，这是一种可持续发展的建筑材料，将可再生纸的凝结层与树脂结合在一起。灰色的大理石给人以微妙的触感，而黑色的装置和框架则与橱柜完美融合。一个深深的岛形长凳鼓励家人和朋友们非正式地聚会，上面漂浮着一个精致的线性吊灯。
The kitchen is articulated in black Paperock, a sustainable building material combining condensed layers of renewable paper bonded with resin. Figured grey marble gives subtle tactility, while black fixtures and framing blend seamlessly with the cabinetry. A deep island bench encourages groups of family and friends to gather informally, with a fine linear pendant floating weightlessly above.
一个线性天窗沿着边界吸引光线，通向一个慷慨的管家茶水间，隐藏着准备空间和厨房设施。可操作的玻璃窗将室内横向打开到花园，灰色的布莱克布特甲板环绕着游泳池，周围种满了本地植物。上面的主人套房形成了一个高处的休息和放松的圣地，可以俯瞰广阔的花园和邻近的瓷砖屋顶。
A linear skylight draws in light along the boundary edge, leading towards a generous butler’s pantry concealing preparation space and kitchen amenities. Operable glazing opens the interior laterally to the garden, where a greyed Blackbutt deck surrounds the pool and native vegetation brims the perimeter. Above, a master suite forms an elevated sanctuary for rest and relaxation, overlooking the expansive garden and adjacent tiled rooftops.
在整个建筑中，Prineas工作室深思熟虑地构建了平静的视野，将室内与崎岖的本地景观结合起来。永恒的单色调色板和精简的家具，使住宅的传统血统得到尊重，而新的建筑干预措施在新旧之间建立了一种尊重的对话，为连接创造了新的机会。
Throughout, Studio Prineas has thoughtfully framed calming vistas, uniting the interior with its rugged native landscape. The timeless monochrome palette and lean edit of furniture honor the heritage pedigree of the home, while new architectural interventions establish a respectful dialogue between old and new, carving new opportunities for connection.
