法纳姆是一位插画家、她的建筑商伙伴和他们三个年幼孩子的家。客户委托Foomann为他们的砖房设计一个扩建项目,楼下是厨房、餐厅和生活区,楼上是书房或客房。这个紧凑的扩建项目提供了一个轻松、稳健的内部空间,有不同的空间、自然光、户外连接和整个景观。

Farnham is home to an illustrator, her builder partner, and their three young children. The clients engaged Foomann to design an extension to their brick home, with a kitchen, dining, and living area downstairs and a study or guest room upstairs. This compact extension offers a relaxed, robust interior with varied spaces, natural light, outdoor connections, and views throughout.

现在,入口被进一步移到了家里,通过沿着房子一侧的景观花园路径进入。一扇明亮的粉红色的门通向扩展区,那里的细木工制品使入口处井井有条,入口处的通道提供了螺旋式楼梯的视野,以及外面充满光线的庭院。荧光粉色的喷漆和其他鲜艳的颜色反映了客户的俏皮感和趣味性。

The entry is now relocated further into the home, accessed via a landscaped garden path along the side of the house. A bright pink door opens to the extension, where joinery keeps the entrance organized and the entry passage offers a view of the spiral staircase and light-filled courtyard beyond. The fluoro-pink spray paint and pops of other bright colors reflect the clients’ sense of playfulness and fun.

一楼的加建部分是一个砖砌体,包括入口、厨房、餐厅和休息室。业主/建筑商引以为豪的混凝土门框,将北方的光线引入生活区,并将室内和室外连接起来。这个露面提供了一个花园座椅,并能阻挡夏季的阳光,同时还提供了百叶窗和可操作的防蝇网。

The ground-floor addition is a brick volume containing the entry, kitchen, dining, and lounge. A concrete reveal – a point of pride for the owner/builder – frames the large glass doors, bringing northern light into the living area and connecting the interior to the outside. This reveal provides a garden seat and has to block the summer sun, as well as rebates for blinds and an operable flyscreen.

一楼的木质建筑包含了一个书房/客人室,并将家庭室上方的空隙包裹起来。客户认为空隙比楼上的额外空间更重要,因为它提高了房间的质量和体验,为其注入了更多的光线、崇高感和视野。东面的高位玻璃使厨房和用餐区沐浴在光线中,并有一个可开启的窗格来净化暖空气。空隙内部周围的木材细节提供了质感和温暖,特别是在夜间照明的时候。

The timber-clad first-floor addition contains a study/guest room and encases the void above the family room. The clients prioritized the void over additional upstairs floor space as it enhances the quality and experience of the room, infusing it with greater light, loftiness, and views. High-level glazing to the east bathes the kitchen and dining area in light, with an openable pane to purge warm air. Timber detailing around the interior of the void provides texture and warmth, particularly when illuminated at night.

厨房里精致的细节设计仍然是轻松和耐磨的。具有质感的灰色Tundra台面提供了一个坚固的表面,可以承受三个孩子的日常使用。茶水间位于房间一侧的橡木单板内,有全长的锥形垂直拉手。在对面的墙上,一个内置的餐具柜提供了额外的存储空间,并固定了客户的充满活力的图片墙。

开放式书架、螺旋式楼梯和白砖墙保持了庭院旁边的光线和开放性,并形成了与其他空间的过渡点。楼梯通向书房/贵宾室,而白砖墙标志着原来房子的后面有一个通往卧室和浴室的入口。

Refined detailing in the kitchen is still relaxed and hardwearing. The textural Grey Tundra benchtop provides a robust surface to withstand the daily use of three children. The pantry is contained within oak veneer joinery along the side of the room with full-length tapered vertical pulls. On the opposite wall, a built-in sideboard provides additional storage and anchors the clients’ vibrant picture wall.

Open shelves, spiral stairs, and white brick walls maintain light and openness next to the courtyard and form a transition point to other spaces. The stairs lead to the study/guest room, while the white brick wall marks the back of the original house with an entry to the bedrooms and bathrooms.

前面的三间卧室得到了保留和更新,院子里的光线被过滤到邻近的卧室。在客户的卧室旁边插入了一个套间,并为孩子和客人设计了一个新的共用浴室。以前的入口现在是一个可以关闭的小书房。

65平方米的底层加建空间很紧凑,但提供了一个充满自然光、户外景观和俏皮个性的多样化功能空间,以适应客户和他们的家庭。

The three bedrooms in the front have been retained and refreshed, and the courtyard filters light into the adjacent bedroom. An ensuite has been inserted alongside the clients’ bedroom, and a new shared bathroom designed for the children and guests. The former entry is now a small study that can be closed off.

At 65 square meters, the ground-floor addition is compact but offers a varied, functional space filled with natural light, outdoor views, and a playful personality to suit the clients and their family.
