Saoir是一座豪华住宅，围绕着布里斯班市内郊区的一座现有工人别墅而建。该项目位于256平方米的市内小地块上，可以俯瞰邻居，获得有限的阳光，该项目最大限度地提高了与室外的联系，同时保持了隐私和对光线、空气和微风的接触，创造了一个非常适合布里斯班亚热带气候的住宅。
Saoir is a luxury residence formed around an existing workers’ cottage in a vibrant inner-city suburb of Brisbane. Located on a small 256 m2 inner-city lot with overlooking neighbors and limited access to sunlight the project maximizes its connection to the outdoors whilst maintaining privacy and access to light, air and breezes – creating a residence perfectly suited for the Brisbane subtropical climate.
该项目分为三个不同的体量，每个体量都由一个混凝土基准点连接和支撑，该基准点构成了瀑布池和特色楼梯的基础。位于中心位置的有盖庭院将原来的别墅和新的扩建部分连接起来，通过其宽敞的双高空间，使房子的视野更加开阔，产生了一种轻盈和宽敞的感觉。扩建部分，从原来的平房中汲取了形式上的品质，作为一个独立的体量，面向后街。
The project is split into three distinct volumes, each linked and grounded by a concrete datum that forms a base for the plunge pool and feature stair. The centrally located and covered courtyard links the original cottage to the new extension, and through its generous double-height space, allows vistas through the house, generating a sense of lightness and spaciousness. The extension, taking formal qualities from the original cottage, reads as a separate volume that addresses the rear street.
当代的增建部分被看作是原始建筑的延伸和演变，重点是通过工艺来塑造房屋的形式和感觉。整个项目采用了柔和的色调，将空间结合起来，并通过木材和细木工制品增加流动感。
Contemporary additions are seen as an extension and evolution of the original, focusing on craft to shape the form and feel of the home. A muted tonality is used throughout, binding the spaces and reinforcing a sense of flow adding warmth through timber and joinery along the way.
Saoir是一个紧凑的城市内部豪华生活的例子，其克制的材料色调，使用柔和的过滤光线，以及极简主义的细节设计，使新旧之间的结合天衣无缝，在城市的小空间里创造了一个气候响应，美丽，并最终 – 非常宜居的家庭住宅。
Saoir is an example of compact inner-city luxury living, its restrained material palette, use of soft filtered light, and minimalist detailing allow a seamless union between old and new, creating a climatically responsive, beautiful, and ultimately – very liveable family home in a small space within the city.
在它的熟悉和温暖中，SAOIR–苏格兰盖尔语中木匠的意思，成为一个扩展的当代住宅，与它的环境、气候和历史相联系并公开参与。
In its familiarity and warmth, SAOIR — the Gaelic Scottish word for carpenter becomes an expanded contemporary home, connected and openly engaging with its context, climate, and history.
