布里斯班的空巢老人Peter和Jacquelyn的愿望清单很简单。他们希望有一个经济实惠的新家，有足够的空间来容纳他们的孙子和彼得的蜂蜜制造业务。建筑师保罗-巴特沃斯找到了甜头–在预算范围内交付 “蜂蜜工厂之家”，并超越了这对夫妇的设计期望。
设计方案的核心是希望创造出安全的、充满光线的空间，让他们年轻的孙子们可以在其中玩耍。考虑到这对夫妇的预算不多，保罗-巴特沃斯设计了一种方法，为这对夫妇提供充足的空间，同时又不失奢华。

The wish list of Brisbane empty nesters Peter and Jacquelyn was simple. They wanted an affordable new home with plenty of room to accommodate their grandchildren, and Peter’s honey-manufacturing business. Architect Paul Butterworth found the sweet spot — delivering ‘Honeyworks House’ on budget and surpassing the couple’s design expectations.
Central to the brief was a desire to create safe, light-filled spaces in which their young grandchildren could play. Mindful of the couple’s modest budget, Paul Butterworth devised a way to deliver the pair ample space, along with little luxuries.

“本质上，我们有两个选择，”保罗解释说。”我们可以建造多个房间，这些房间在一年中的大部分时间都是闲置的，或者我们可以创建一个大型的多模块区域，并将剩余的预算分配给优雅的装饰品，以提升日常生活。后者的计划提供了一个实用而又豪华的解决方案。
保罗谦虚地描述说，这个设计有点类似于仓库改造。”他说：”这个家基本上由两个金属盒子组成，以L型配置连接在一起。抛光的石板和石膏板墙因其高功能和低成本而被选中。然后，大部分的预算被用于用美丽的装置和配件来填充这些盒子般的形状。

“Essentially, we had two choices,” Paul explains. “We could build multiple rooms that would be predominantly unoccupied most of the year, or we could create one large multi-modular area and distribute the remaining budget to elegant touches to elevate everyday living.” The latter plan delivered a practical, yet luxurious solution.
Paul humbly describes the design as a little akin to a warehouse conversion. “The home basically comprises two metal boxes, conjoined in an L-shape configuration,” he says. A burnished slab and plasterboard walls were chosen for their high function and low cost. Then, the bulk of the budget was deployed to fill the box-like shapes with beautiful fixtures and fittings.

优雅的水龙头、定制的照明、木皮橱柜和豪华的石材产品都结合在一起，将日常的生活变成了真正的快乐体验。同时，多功能室的特点是在丰富的塔斯马尼亚黑木墙后面隐藏了一张大床。其他贴心的功能包括化妆室的双向镜子，旨在展示住宅的入口和中央庭院。

Elegant tapware, custom lighting, timber veneer cabinetry and luxurious stone products all combine to transform everyday living into a truly joyful experience. Meanwhile, the multi-purpose room features a queen-size bed concealed behind a wall of rich Tasmanian blackwood. Other thoughtful features include a two-way mirror in the powder room, designed to showcase both the home’s entry and its central courtyard.

Honeyworks House的住户和访客总共可以方便地进入三个户外空间。除了内部庭院外，后花园在这个家庭住宅中也发挥着重要作用。在这里，彼得用一个采蜜、纺纱和装瓶设施来滋养他的商业利益。同时，后花园里的地块种植了西瓜、玉米、葡萄、百香果……以及一系列健康的其他水果和蔬菜。

In total, three outdoor spaces are easily accessible to the residents and visitors of Honeyworks House. In addition to the internal courtyard, the back garden also plays a vital role in this family home. Here, Peter nourishes his business interests with a honey harvesting, spinning and bottling facility. Meanwhile, plots in the back garden grow watermelons, corn, grapes, passionfruit … and a healthy array of other fruit and veg.

前面的花园也是一个高产的空间。保罗确保在景观设计中加入吸引蜜蜂的植物。毕竟，这是一个养蜂人的地址。
作为可持续设计的倡导者，保罗回收了一些从原来的房子里拆下来的砖块，为蜂蜜厂的房子让路。抢救出来的白色混凝土防风块不仅提供了一个视觉上的对比点，而且还帮助整个房屋内部的凉爽空气循环。

The front garden too is a highly productive space. Paul ensured the landscape design incorporated plants to attract bees to the property. This is, after all, an apiarist’s address!
An advocate of sustainable design, Paul recycled some of the brickwork from the original home that was demolished to make way for Honeyworks House. The salvaged white concrete breeze blocks not only provide a visual point of contrast but also help circulate cool air throughout the home’s interior.

在外部和内部，保罗都使用了红砖，让人联想到整个街景的红砖。这是一个非常深思熟虑的决定，以帮助创造一种家庭的感觉和与邻居家的联系。”我们希望Honeyworks House在其周围环境中感到舒适，而不是模仿其周围环境，”保罗解释说。
根据居民自己的评价，保罗确实成功地设计了一个不仅适合其周围环境，而且适合其居民的房子。”当我走进我的前门时，我真的感到一种平静的感觉–我立刻就放松了，”业主彼得说。”我对保罗的做法非常满意。他总是对我们的意见持开放态度，但引导我们远离任何不切实际的想法。保罗掌握了最新的材料，他有一群很好的联系人”。

Both externally and internally, Paul has deployed red bricks reminiscent of those found throughout the streetscape. It was a very deliberate decision to help create both a sense of domesticity and connection with neighbouring homes. “We wanted Honeyworks House to feel comfortable in its surroundings, without mimicking its surroundings,” Paul explains.
Based on the residents’ own appraisal, Paul has certainly succeeded in designing a house that not only suits its environs but it’s inhabitants too. “I really feel a sense of calmness when I walk through my front door — I’m instantly relaxed,” owner Peter says. “I was very happy with Paul’s approach. He was always open to our input but steered us away from any impractical ideas. Paul’s up to speed with the latest materials and he’s got a great group of contacts.”
