该项目包括对堪培拉内北区1950年的 “Tocumwal “别墅进行改建和增建。最初的平房是在二战期间从新南威尔士州南部的托库姆瓦尔镇的一个前军事情报基地搬迁到堪培拉的。它是堪培拉现存的一些被列入遗产名录的托克瓦尔住宅类型的例子之一。原有的平房被保留下来并进行了翻新，对房子的后部进行了轻微的修改，以适应与新建筑的连接。
The project comprised alterations and additions to a 1950’s “Tocumwal” cottage in Canberra’s Inner North. The original cottage was relocated to Canberra from a former military intelligence base built during WW2 in the southern NSW town of Tocumwal. It is one of a number of heritage-listed examples of the Tocumwal housing typology remaining in Canberra. The original cottage was retained and refurbished, with minor modifications made to the rear of the house to accommodate a connection through to the new buildings.
原有别墅的后部增加了一个新的2层楼，容纳了厨房/餐厅/客厅、喧闹空间、主卧室和阁楼。还增加了一个外部的独立工作室，可以作为客人的住所或用于娱乐。新的侧翼提供了朝北的采光生活空间，与原来房子的内向性形成对比。扩建部分为生活安排提供了灵活性，并与后方的花园和露台建立了明确而方便的联系。高性能的玻璃系统、可操作的外部遮阳网和隔离的内部热质（回收的堪培拉砖）有助于在堪培拉的夏季和冬季的极端天气中被动地调节温度。沿着新建筑的南面和西面的窗户可以看到堪培拉标志性的Telstra塔和黑山景观。
A new 2-storey wing was added to the rear of the original cottage that accommodates kitchen/dining/living, rumpus space, master bedroom, and loft. An external stand-alone studio was also added that can be used as guest quarters or for recreation. The new wing provides light-filled north-facing living spaces that contrast the introspective qualities of the original house. The additions provide flexibility in living arrangements and a clear and convenient connection to rear gardens and decks. High-performance glazing systems, operable external shade screens and isolated internal thermal mass (recycled Canberra brick) assist in passively regulating temperatures during Canberra’s summer and winter extremes. Windows along the southern and western faces of the new additions provide views of Canberra’s iconic Telstra Tower and Black Mountain landscape.
新作品的特点是 “流动 “的木材立面和上层的一系列屏风，这些屏风是根据窗户的位置和体量进行雕刻的。上层建筑悬垂在朝北的底层玻璃上，以提供夏季所需的阴凉，并为户外用餐区提供遮蔽。工作室上层窗户和墙壁上的可操作和滑动的屏风使住户能够根据季节条件和生活功能来控制所需的遮阳和隐私水平。
The new work is characterized by a “fluid” timber façade and a series of screens at the upper level that is sculpted to respond to window positions and massing. The upper floor overhangs the north-facing ground floor glazing to provide needed shade in summer and sheltered coverage of an outdoor dining zone. Operable and sliding screens to the upper floor windows and walls of the studio allow the residents to control required levels of shade and privacy dependent on seasonal conditions and living functions.
室内装修包括重新铣削的木材地板和天花板格子以及回收的堪培拉红砖。厨房的细木工制品包括低碳钢平板长凳和橱柜面板，以明确表达施工过程和手工制作的元素。湿润区域和防溅板上的釉面六边形瓷砖参考了客户的蜂窝状兴趣。
Interiors include re-milled timber flooring and ceiling battens and recycled Canberra Red bricks. Kitchen joinery includes mild steel flat plat benches and cupboard fronts to clearly articulate construction processes and hand-crafted elements. Glazed hexagon tiles in wet areas and splashbacks reference the honeycomb interest of the clients.
该项目经过建筑和细木工团队的精心打造，提供了丰富的室内纹理，从远处看，与新翼的雕塑体量形成鲜明对比。当从街上看到这个出乎意料的新翼时，这个项目是一个令人高兴的发现。
The project has been carefully crafted by the building and joinery teams to provide rich interior textures that bely the sculptural massing of the new wing when it is viewed from afar. The project is a delight to discover when the unexpected new wing is spotted from the street…
