甘特里屋是对一个可爱的风化板平房的重大改造，使之成为一个家庭享受各种工作和收藏的室内-室外/仓库/工场。在保持其在街上的适度平房外观的同时，GantryHouse扩展到其后院，拥有通风、阳光、开放的桁架生活空间–结实而舒适，就像它的家庭。
Gantry House is the major overhaul of a sweet weatherboard cottage into an indoor-outdoor/house/warehouse/workshop for a family to enjoy doing and collecting of all sorts. While maintaining its modest cottage appearance on the street, GantryHouse expands into its backyard with airy, sunny, open trussed living spaces –robust and comfy, just like its family.
由于客户之一是建筑商，在施工过程中，有巨大的灵活性来重新考虑和发展许多想法和细节–这既是一种祝福，也是一种诅咒! 另外，建筑商自己的房子是所有其他客户的项目中的最后一个项目。因此，在2年多的漫长施工期中，工作是一波三折的。上述因素要求我们快速思考，但允许在整个建造过程中不断调整，以使房子适合家庭。
As one of the clients is a builder, there was huge flexibility to re-consider and evolve many ideas and details on-site during construction – which was a blessing and a curse! Also, a builder’s own house is the last project in line with all other clients’ projects. As a result, work happened in fits and starts over a long construction period of 2+ years. The above factors required us to think fast on our feet but allowed continual tweaking throughout the build to tailor the house to the family.
Gantry House被设计成一个房子/仓库/车间，供一家人享受各种活动和收集–盆栽、玩具和狗、艺术、食物、烹饪和商店里的宝贝。房子里所有的共享活动都是相互开放的，但又有温和的遮挡，所以一家人可以有自己的空间，但又能在一起。
Gantry House is designed to be a house/warehouse/workshop for the family to enjoy doing and collecting of all sorts – pot plants, toys and dogs, art, food, cooking, and op-shop treasures. All the shared activities of the house are open to each other but gently screened so the family can have their own spaces and yet still be together.
房子的建造本身也是一个享受的来源，因为它所揭示的结构、原材料、暴露的固定装置和其他精湛的建筑细节展示了所有建造它的人的技能–包括这个家庭自己–以及他们高度熟练的贸易朋友。
The construction of the house itself is also a source of enjoyment as its revealed structure, raw materials, exposed fixings, and other virtuoso construction details demonstrate the skills of all the people who built it -including the family themselves – and their highly skilled tradie friends.
由于客户是一个建筑商，他们把自己的房子看作是一个在设计和施工方面进行冒险和雄心勃勃的机会。客户的卓越技能与他的行业的精细工艺一起随处可见。
As the client was a builder, they saw their house as an opportunity to be adventurous and ambitious in design and construction. The client’s exceptional skills are evident everywhere along with the fine craftsmanship of his trades.
