金发混凝土是一个建筑珠宝盒。它是一个更新的Annandale别墅，从一个适度的遗产外墙展开到一个宽敞的家。温暖的感觉通过大地色系和天然材料表现出来，通过天窗和庭院井捕捉光线。
Concrete Blonde is an architectural jewelry box. It is an updated Annandale cottage that unfolds from a modest heritage façade to a generously spaced home. Warmth is expressed through earth tones and natural materials, capturing light through its skylights and courtyard well.
我们的客户希望为家人和朋友创造一个聚会的场所，同时也为他们独处时创造一个宁静的避难所。他们的家需要阻挡附近繁忙的道路和飞机的噪音，以创造一个平静的空间，让他们在忙碌的一天后可以回到家中。他们坚信，厨房是家庭的心脏，是进行深入交谈和建立联系的地方。但为了应对这一点，他们也强调了对适合每个人的私人空间的需求。由于该项目位于一个狭窄的5米宽的街区，因此在整个家庭的顺序和流通方面需要有实用性。
Our clients wanted to create a place of gathering for family and friends, whilst also creating a peaceful sanctuary for when they were alone. Their home needed to block out the noise from nearby busy roads and planes overhead, to create a calm space they could come home to after a busy day. They are big believers that the kitchen is the heartbeat of the home, a place for deep conversations and making connections. But to counter this, they also highlighted a need for private spaces that suit each individual. Because the project sits on a tight 5 metre wide block there was a need for practicality in sequence and circulation throughout the home.
居住空间流向住宅的厨房和用餐区，黑色的滑动玻璃门将厨房和后院连接起来。这四个空间，室外、厨房、起居室和用餐区融为一体，创造了一个公共的枢纽。一个铺有瓷砖和植物的院子里有一个采光井，可以通往住宅的各个层面，最重要的是进入下面的生活空间。庭院将住宅的公共区域和私人区域分开，解决了这个狭小街区的水平变化和对自然光的需求。
The living space flows into the home’s kitchen and dining area, black sliding glass doors dissolve away to connect the kitchen to the rear courtyard. These four spaces, outdoors, kitchen, living, and dining coming together as one, creating a communal hub. A tiled and plant-filled courtyard holds a lightwell that delivers to all levels of the home, most importantly into the living spaces below. The courtyard separates the communal and private areas of the home and addresses the change in level and the need for natural light on this tight block.
我们还通过在休息室上方雕刻一个弧形空隙，让光线涌入住宅，让自然光穿透共享的生活和用餐空间，创造一个平静、沉思的环境。
We also allowed light to flood through the home by carving a curved void situated above the lounge, allowing natural light to pierce the shared living and dining space, creating a calm, contemplative environment.
混凝土和浅色砖的调色板与定制的木制家具一起被使用。厨房的长椅无缝地过渡到混凝土金发女郎厨房的长椅和用餐，塔斯马尼亚橡木橱柜和白色的细木工制品与深绿色的皮革软垫长椅相得益彰。这张桌子是卡特-威廉姆森和威尔-布伦南（Orange的家具设计师）的合作作品。贯穿《混凝土金发》的绿色是对后院摇曳的本地胶树的一种点缀，也是该住宅以前厨房的颜色，以及对我们客户在希腊的大家庭住宅的回忆。
A palette of concrete and light brick was used along with custom timber furniture. The kitchen bench transitions seamlessly to bench seating and dining in Concrete Blonde’s kitchen, Tasmanian oak cabinetry and joinery finished in white compliment the dark-green leather upholstered bench seats. The table is a collaboration between Carter Williamson and Will Brennan, an Orange-based furniture designer. The greens through Concrete Blonde are a nod to the native gumtrees swaying in the backyard, the home’s former kitchen colour, and memories of our clients’ extended family homes in Greece.
这个项目有许多独特之处，比如位于起居空间上方的弧形线性空隙，将北方的光线从高高的窗户深入到计划中；我们经常收到艾琳的照片，因为她在家里工作，注意到光和影的游戏在一天中移动。
There are many unique aspects of this project, like the curved linear void sitting above the living space, bridging northern light from a high window deep into the plan; we often receive photos from Irene as she works from home and notices the play of light and shadow move through the day.
这个项目很特别，因为我们的客户为这个家带来了各种时刻和故事。例如，在施工过程中，客户提供的一袋玻璃弹珠被放置在混凝土地板上，后来被打磨下来，在河卵石骨料旁边露出了它们的颜色。这是一个例子，说明好的建筑是如何来自建筑师、建筑商和客户之间的合作，尊重每个人的想法。
This project is special for the various moments and stories that our client brought to the home. For example, a bag of glass marbles supplied by the client was placed onto the concrete floor during construction and later polished down to reveal their colours next to the river pebble aggregate. This is an example of how good architecture comes from a collaboration between architect, builder, and client, honouring everyone’s ideas.
