Dave和Libby的Gladesville房子是为一个年轻的五口之家所做的加州平房的翻新工程。场地是一个大型的郊区街区,坐落在Gladesville的高处,可以看到远处的胶树和港口的一部分,以及北面的东风。

Dave and Libby’s Gladesville House is a renovation of a Californian bungalow for a young family of five. The site is a large suburban block perched on the high side of Gladesville capturing distant views of gum trees and part of the Harbour and North Easterly breezes.

我们的目标是创造一个温暖而温馨的家庭住宅。我们保留了平房的原始结构,并在后面增加了一个两层楼的附加建筑,顺着土地的落差而向下延伸。

The brief was to create a warm and inviting family home. We kept the original structure of the bungalow and added a two storey addition to the rear that steps down the site to follow the fall of the land.

现有的游泳池和花园相对保持不变。新设计的主要特点是在西北侧有一个大的有盖阳台,在炎热的夏天提供遮阳,但在冬天让阳光进入生活区。

The existing pool and garden remained relatively untouched. The main feature of the new design is a large covered balcony on the North West side that provides shade on hot summer days yet lets winter sun into the living areas.
