Hood House是一个俏皮的保护者，尊重Carlton North的遗产特征，同时庆祝有目的的变化。它是一个豪华而紧凑的超功能住宅，其定义是对对比的探索：它是装饰性的和克制的，低调的和活泼的，庄严的和休闲的，分隔的和开放的。
Hood House is a playful protector that respects the heritage character of Carlton North whilst celebrating purposeful change. It is a luxurious yet compact and hyper-functional home defined by an exploration of contrast: it is ornamental and restrained, subdued and lively, stately and casual, compartmental and open.
对我们来说，这也是一个具有不同寻常历史的项目。这个双重性质的翻新项目在两个不同客户的所有权中演变。原本是为了满足一个年轻的四口之家的需求，但我们在最后一刻改变了方向，将一个彻底解决的设计方案调整为只满足两个人的需求。从一个年轻的核心家庭到一个混合的成人家庭，我们的设计方案受到了灵活性的考验。
For us, it is also a project with an unusual history. This dual-natured renovation evolved through the ownership of two separate clients. Originally intended to accommodate the needs of a young family of four, we shifted gears at the eleventh hour and adapted a thoroughly resolved design solution to the needs of only two. From a young, nuclear family to a blended adult one, our design solution was put to a test of flexibility.
其结果是一个微妙的改造，从街道上几乎看不到，但在其表现力方面却很引人注目。从西北方向的斜视图显示了新屋顶的俏皮的之字形，波纹状的金属罩。这是一个创造形式的练习，它将新与旧联系起来，并在楼上本来可能是功利的房间里建立起空间戏剧性。一个简单的澳大利亚硬木木材和白色表面的调色板，被触感良好的黄铜和丰富的色彩所赞美，从门后显现出来。
The result is a subtle renovation almost invisible from the street yet dramatic in its expressive qualities. An oblique view from the northwest reveals the playful zigzag of the new roof, the rippling metal hood. This is a form-making exercise that connects old to new as well as establishing spatial drama in what might otherwise have been utilitarian rooms upstairs. A simple palette of Australian hardwood timbers and white surfaces are complimented by tactile splashes of brass and rich moments of colour that reveal themselves from behind closed doors.
我们的内部笑话是，Hood House就像Lazarus，从灰烬中复活。我们很感激近六年的辛勤工作，最终形成了这所美丽的、保护性的和俏皮的房子，并且非常高兴Glenda和Alistair能把它当作家。
Our internal joke is that Hood House is like Lazarus, risen from the ashes. We’re grateful that almost six years of hard work have culminated in this beautiful, protective and playful house, and so pleased that Glenda and Alistair get to call it home.
