这座位于澳大利亚墨尔本的20世纪40年代的半独立式砖房自最初建成以来，一直被同一个家庭所珍视。现任业主是原业主的曾侄子，他希望尽可能多地尊重其遗产。在其漫长的历史中，这所房子基本上没有被动过，所以它的许多可爱的老特征仍然完好无损。然而，每个家庭都会有这样的时候：老旧的厨房和退化的浴室需要大修，以使它们达到现代生活标准，并为今后的长期生活提供保障。

This 1940s semi-detached brick home in Melbourne Australia has been treasured by the same family since it was originally built. The current owner, the great grandnephew of the original owner, was keen to honour its heritage in as many ways as possible. In its long history the house had largely gone untouched, so many of its lovely old features were still intact. However, there comes a time with every home where an old Kitchen, and degrading Bathroom, need an overhaul to bring them up to contemporary living standards and to provide for a long life ahead.

这个项目最具挑战性的设计是挑选和选择哪些遗产方面的灵感，以及哪些方面要放弃。在纪念过去和创造一个适合当前时代和未来的住宅之间，这是一条细微的界限。整体布局就是一个很好的例子–开放式厨房和餐桌的组合与澳大利亚1940年代的房屋建造和规划方式相悖，但现在我们非常重视分享这些空间并将它们与户外连接起来。

The most challenging design aspect of this project was picking and choosing which heritage aspects to work with for inspiration, and which ones to let go of. It’s a fine line between honoring the past and creating a home that suits current times and into the future. The overall layout is a good example of this – a combined open Kitchen and Meals is counter to the way houses were built and planned in the 1940s in Australia but now we put a huge importance on sharing these spaces and connecting them to the outdoors.

与许多细节设计一样，材料的灵感主要来自于现有的房屋和对那个时代的建筑的参考。除了厨房的颜色外，我们还设计了一个现代凹槽玻璃橱柜，并在浴室的玻璃上使用了相同的玻璃。方形釉面陶瓷砖和钢框窗户也是来自那个时代的线索。砖被用于小的扩展部分，在墙的两端有一个微妙的堆砌细节。此外，水磨石地板和北侧立面的钢制框架窗也被用于后院。

As with much of the detailing, the materials were largely inspired by the existing home and references to the construction of the era. In addition to the Kitchen colour, we designed a contemporary fluted glass cabinet display and used the same glass for the Bathroom glazing. Square glazed ceramic tiles and steel framed windows were also cues that were taken from the era. Brick was used for the small extension with a subtle stack bond detail on the wall ends. In addition to terrazzo tiling of the floors and steel framed windows on the northern façade addressing the Backyard.

现有建筑为设计提供了指导，包括重新改造和扩建。前面的入口、卧室和起居室被保留。在住宅的后部，我们彻底清理了内部，使这个区域稍大一些，重新安排和替换了服务房间，并将新的厨房和用餐区开到一个新的景观后院，使开放区域更适合当代标准。

The existing building directed the design including the re-model and the extension. The Front Entry, Bedrooms and Living room were maintained. At the rear of the home, we completely gutted the interior, made this area slightly larger, relocated, rearranged and replaced the service rooms and opened the new Kitchen and Meals area onto a freshly landscaped Backyard so that the open plan area is more suitable to contemporary standards.
