这个Murrumbeena的扩建项目,部分灵感来自于它原来的1950年代的郊区住宅,部分灵感来自于同一年代的现代主义案例研究住宅。20世纪50年代与50年代的结合。大约各占一半。我们说的是五五分成的设想。这很犀利。原来的房子状况良好,有很大的魅力,是该地区的特色:它是完全独立的,有一个坡形的石板屋顶,红砖墙,白色的门窗,有阶梯状的corbel细节。延伸到房子的侧面和后面,我们决定尽可能多地保留原来的建筑,并以现代的方式诠释其优点。

This Murrumbeena extension is partly inspired by its original 1950s suburban home and partly by the modernist Case Study houses of the same decade. 1950s meets 1950s. About half of each. We’re talking fifty-fifty vision. That’s sharp. The original house is in good condition, has great charm, and is characteristic of the area: it’s fully detached, has a gabled slate roof, red brick walls, white fenestration and features stepped corbel details. Extending to the side and to the rear of the house, it was decided to retain as much of the original as possible and to honour its virtues with a contemporary interpretation.

从街道上可以看到的侧面扩展,在一定程度上反映了原来的房子。为了清晰起见,镜面线由一条凸出的白砖的垂直拉链标记。这条线的两边是烟囱,是真正的摹拟。此后,随着阶梯状的墙角砖被放大,事情变得扭曲了。

The side extension, visible from the street, somewhat mirrors the original house. For clarity, the mirror line is marked by a vertical zip of projecting white bricks. Either side of this line is the chimney, in true facsimile. Thereafter things get distorted as the stepped corbel brickwork is magnified through the architectural looking glass.

在后面,扩建部分出现了一个由白色叶片墙组成的中性区域,支撑着一个薄而平的屋顶。原来的屋顶线仍然可见,而红砖房只是被遮住了,看起来似乎没有受到影响。这些新的白墙为户外座位、用餐和躺卧创造了深邃、阴凉的门槛,同时将新的卧室和新的生活区隐藏在其保护性的阴影中。

To the rear, the extension appears as a neutral field of white blade walls supporting a thin, flat roof. The original roofline remains visible and the red brick house is merely veiled, appearing almost as if untouched. These new white walls create deep, shady thresholds for outdoor seating, dining and reclining, while concealing new bedrooms and new living quarters in their protective shade.
