客户简介。Eliza House位于黑石镇一个令人羡慕的社区，距离风景如画的海滩路不到400米，步行即可到达Sandringham Beach Foreshore Reserve。屋主有一个明确的目标，那就是让他们年轻的家庭在这个海湾社区扎根，并建立起他们永远的家。以前的住宅是一栋战后的双面板砖瓦房，属于当时的普通建筑，不具备任何遗产意义。老房子的天花板很低，而且内部结构呈马蹄形，具有熟悉的战后血统特征，因此决定采取推倒/重建的方式。业主希望有一个实用的、不费力气的家，能让他们在未来的日子里使用，而我们的挑战是创造一个能满足他们现在和未来需求的设计。
Client Brief. Eliza House is located in an enviable neighborhood pocket of Black Rock; within 400m to picturesque Beach Road and walking distance to the Sandringham Beach Foreshore Reserve. The homeowners had a clear ambition of laying roots with their young family in this Bayside community and setting up their forever home. The previous dwelling was a Post-war double-fronted brick-veneered house which was part of the common building stock of its time and did not hold any heritage significance. The old house had familiar characteristics of its Post-war pedigree by way of low ceilings and an awkwardly laid out horse-shoe internal configuration, so the logical decision was made to take a knock-down/rebuild approach. The owners wanted a practical, fuss-free home that will last them for years to come and our challenge was to create a design that responds to their present & future needs.
设计回应。虽然现有的建筑没有任何遗产意义，但我们有意识地决定保留和编辑部分现有的结构（地面外墙），这是受原有的马蹄形建筑布局的启发，它优先考虑了一个朝东的庭院，享受可爱的晨光。现有的砖砌墙体的短部分被尽可能地保留下来，主要是沿着建筑的西部和北部的表面。一个新的前门被定位为与房子的真正脊柱居中，通往一个宽敞的走廊，扩展到一个开放的生活空间，进一步向外延伸到一个精心策划的后院。
Design Response. While the existing building was of no heritage significance, a conscious decision to retain and edit parts of the existing fabric (ground-level exterior walls) was inspired by the original horse-shoe-shaped building layout that prioritized an east-facing courtyard that enjoyed lovely morning light. Short sections of the existing brick-veneered walls were retained as best they could primarily along the western and northern faces of the building. A new front entry was orientated to be centered with the true spine of the house to lead unto a generous hallway that expands into an open plan living space which further spills outwards to a well-curated backyard.
全高的玻璃推拉门可以叠加或隐藏起来，使生活空间完全向室外开放。室内地板和室外露台之间的零门槛进一步强调了这种室内与室外的联系，将借用的设施和花园的全部180度景观引入室内。前面的走廊被楼梯间的大窗户照亮，可以看到中央庭院。晨光通过这扇窗户被捕捉到，散发着温暖的光芒，为空间描绘出外面茂盛景观的影子。弯曲的墙壁缓缓引向朝北的起居室，这里一年四季都感觉光线充足，空气清新。尽管楼下的开放式生活空间给人以宽敞的感觉，但该住宅在设计时还是考虑到了邻居的隐私，在前部和后部的上层外墙上都有定制的雪松屏障。
Full-height glazed sliders are able to be stacked or concealed to allow the living spaces to open up completely to the outdoors. This indoor-outdoor connection is further emphasized with zero thresholds between interior flooring and exterior decking, bringing borrowed amenities and a full 180deg view of the garden inside. The front hallway is well lit by the large windows from the stairwell that looks out to the central courtyard. Morning light is captured through this window in a warm glow and paints the space with shadows from the lush landscape of the outside. Curved walls gently lead into the north-facing living room which feels constantly light and airy throughout the year. Despite the generous feel of the open plan living space downstairs, the home has been designed with the privacy of neighbors in mind with custom cedar screening to both the front and rear upper-level facades.
材料选择。我们特意选择了高质量、长寿命的材料和经过验证的建筑方法，因为它们的品质是经过时间考验的。黑色的木板、白色的再生砖和天鹅绒般的灰色水泥渲染的外部饰面共同构成了一个精致的材料调色板，低调而永恒。调色板有意采用单色，以配合建筑材料的微妙的纹理质量。从街道上看，这种克制的色调并不是要压倒街景，而是在这个绿树成荫的社区口袋里坐得很舒服。
Material Selection. High-quality, long-lasting materials, and proven construction methodologies were purposefully selected for their time-tested qualities. Exterior finishes of black timber battens, white-painted recycled bricks, and a velvety grey cement render collectively form a sophisticated material palette that is understated yet timeless. The color palette was intentionally monochromatic to pair with the subtle textural qualities of the building materials. From the street, the restraint palette is not meant to overwhelm the streetscape but sit quite comfortably in this leafy neighborhood pocket.
为了对比房子的家庭共享空间的光亮和开放的感觉，私人房间采用了更有情调的角色和更深的颜色方案。图书室/书房就是其中的代表，它有一个深色的特色窗户，可以作为一个窗台，颜色为黑色。哑光黑的橱柜和石墨黑的石英壁炉延续了这种暗色调。与这些暗色调相抵消的是暖色系的木饰面细木工制品和战略性的环境照明。这种在细木工板上的应用延伸到了整个房子里，将所有这些作品都联系在一个一致的材料和视觉语言中。餐厅空间的水泥装饰墙反映了外墙的天鹅绒饰面，加强了内部和外部之间的关系和视觉一致性。
To contrast the light and open feel of the shared family spaces of the house, the private rooms adopt a moodier persona with darker color schemes. The library/study is representative of this with deep feature-window steel reveal, that doubles as a bay window, colored black. The dark tone continues with matte black cabinetry and a graphite black quartz hearth for the open fireplace. Offsetting these dark tones are the warmer wood-veneered joinery and strategic ambient lighting. This application of timber on joinery extends throughout the house to tie all these pieces in a consistent material and visual language. A cement-rendered feature wall in the Dining space mirrors the velvet finish of the exterior walls, strengthening the relationship and visual consistency between inside and out.
空间规划。与周围的邻居相比，新房子的最终占地面积并不大，但由于其高高的天花板和窗户的巧妙使用，以及有效的空间规划，使其内部的空间感觉很宽敞。花园和景观有了 “呼吸 “的空间，并在房子周围占据了自己的位置，及时补充和软化了建筑表皮的棱角部分。幸运的是，朝北的后院使后方的生活空间能够向它开放，并获得北向的好处。室外娱乐设施，如游泳池、桑拿和烧烤平台的位置很好，可以从室内生活区一览无余。可以完全收回的玻璃拉杆意味着楼下可以始终保持良好的空气交叉流动。
Spatial Planning. The eventual physical footprint of the new house is not large compared to its surrounding neighbors in this Bayside neighborhood, but the spaces within it do feel generously sized courtesy of its high ceilings, and clever use of windows, and efficient spatial planning. Gardens and landscaping have the space to ‘breathe’ and occupy their own parts around the house which, in time, complement and soften the angular edges of the building’s skin. The fortuitously north-facing backyard enabled the rear living spaces to open to it and reap the benefits of a northerly aspect. Outdoor recreational facilities such as the pool, sauna, and BBQ platform are well-placed to be in full view from the indoor living areas. The ability to completely retract the glazed sliders means that a good cross flow of air can always be maintained downstairs.
