这座狭窄的单面排屋的翻新和扩建是一个家庭从郊区搬到菲茨罗伊市内的非传统的开始。我们的客户希望为自己和两个长大的孩子创造一个前卫而舒适的城市住宅。

This renovation and extension to a narrow single fronted terrace house was the beginning of a family’s unconventional move from suburbia to inner city Fitzroy. Our clients sought to create an edgy yet comfortable urban home for themselves and their two grown up children.

我们面临的挑战是如何将一个紧凑的排屋改造成一个实用的家庭住宅。由于该建筑的遗产结构多年来被大量修改,我们有独特的机会来完全重新定义该建筑内的空间。一个充满光线的公共起居室构成了这个家的中心,两层楼高的空隙上有一个雕刻好的胶合板天花板,为空间带来了大量的自然光线。

Our challenge was to transform a compact terrace house into a functioning family home. As the heritage fabric of the building had been heavily modified over the years, we had the unique opportunity to entirely redefine the spaces within this building. A light filled communal living room forms the heart of the home, with a sculpted plywood ceiling above a two-storey void that brings an abundance of natural light and into the space.

房屋的新部分保留并重新使用了现有的砖块,反面砖的贴面在内部提供了一个美丽的视觉特征,同时也为新的生活空间提供了一个高效的墙体结构。为了回应客户对木材的喜爱和与木材行业的联系,回收的木梁被纳入到建筑结构中。

Existing brickwork was retained and re-used for the new portions of the house, with reverse brick veneer providing a beautiful visual feature internally as well as a thermally efficient wall construction to the new living space. Recycled timber beams were incorporated into the structure of the building in response to the client’s love of timber and connection to the timber industry.

住宅的私人空间被 “藏 “在房子的其他部分,利用所有可用的空间,创造出一种分离和隐私的感觉。在上层,两个独立的卧室区通过一个楼梯连接起来,并有一个开放的走道连接到屋顶的阳台。下层利用天窗将光线引向房屋深处,为主浴室创造了一个宁静的氛围,并从浴室里提供了一个戏剧性的天空景观。

The homes private spaces are ‘tucked’ into other parts of the house, making use of all available space and creating a sense of separation and privacy. At the upper floor, two separate bedroom zones are connected via a staircase, and an open walkway linking across to a rooftop balcony. The lower level utilises skylights to draw light deep into the house, creating a serene ambience to the master bathroom and providing a dramatic view of the sky from the bath.

这个项目表明,占地面积小并不妨碍创造一个实用的家庭住宅,它既出人意料,又让人感到宽敞。

This project demonstrates that a small footprint is no barrier to creating a functional family home that is both unexpected and deceptively spacious.
