该项目占地面积小，表明当住宅根据具体的、仔细的需求进行定制时，其规模可以大大缩小，从而减少建筑和居住期间的能源消耗。该项目非常适用于当前的时代，人们正在质疑自己的消费程度，并确定他们到底需要什么才能拥有满意的生活。该项目属于并促进了从数量到质量的细节转变的广泛文化趋势。该项目还展示了对土地的资源性利用，这些土地在过去基本上被认为是残留的。

The small footprint of the project demonstrates that when dwellings are tailored to specific and carefully outlined needs, their scale can be reduced significantly, thereby reducing energy consumption during both construction and occupancy. The project is very much suited to the current times, where people are questioning the extent of their own consumption, and determining exactly what they really need to have satisfying lives. The project belongs and contributes to broad cultural trends in the shift from quantity to quality in details. The project also demonstrates the resourceful use of land that would have been considered largely residual in the past.

这些类型的空间在大城市中非常多，它们的周到利用有助于土地使用、基础设施和服务的整合。该项目在很大程度上是由许多场地限制决定的。一个大的雨水地役权斜着穿过场地，使该项目具有独特的棱角形状。大面积的街道前退也是雨水地役权的产物。雨水地役权包含一个有150年历史的1.5米直径的青石雨水管道。后面较小的下水道地役权造成了额外的限制。

These types of spaces are abundant in large cities, and their thoughtful utilization contributes to the consolidation of land use, infrastructure and services. The project was considerably determined by the many site constraints. A large stormwater easement cuts diagonally through the site, and gives the project its unique angular shape. The large front setback from the street is also a product of the stormwater easement. The stormwater easement contains a 150 year old 1.5 meter diameter bluestone stormwater pipe. A smaller sewer easement to the rear created an additional constraint.

该项目总的场地面积为131平方米。这两个地役权有效地阻止了76平方米或58%的场地面积的建设，因此只允许55平方米的建筑占地面积。满足客户要求的唯一方法是在毗邻雨水地役权的地方建立一个可居住的地下室。上层也受到了严格的规划控制，大大减少了其体积。

The total site area of the project is 131sqm. Both easements effectively prevent 76 sqm or 58% of the site area from being built on, therefore allowing a building footprint of only 55 sqm. The only way to meet the client’s requirements was to create a habitable basement adjacent to the stormwater easement. The upper floor also was subject to strict planning controls that considerably reduced its volume.

三层住宅的总楼面面积相当于125平方米。场地限制和规划控制在决定项目的特殊形式方面发挥了作用。这种独特的形式由哑光的黑色表面渲染来点缀，是该项目的决定性外部特征。该住宅有3层，包括一个可居住的地下室，有多个空隙用于自然照明和通风。整个住宅没有统一的天花板水平。该住宅内部明亮，外部黑暗。内部结构复杂，外部是整体性的。

The total floor area of the three level dwelling equals 125 sqm. The site constraints and planning controls were instrumental in determining the idiosyncratic form of the project. The idiosyncratic form was embellished by a matt black surface render, and is the defining external feature of the project. The dwelling is 3 levels, and includes a habitable basement with multiple voids for natural lighting and ventilation. There are no uniform ceiling levels throughout the entire dwelling. The dwelling is bright inside and dark outside. The interior is complex, and the exterior is monolithic.

护栏是无缝的。住宅的强制性约束和锯齿在楼梯、淋浴、橱柜、景观设计、人工照明和玻璃上都很明显。内部和可居住的地下室的丰富复杂性没有向公众披露。从街上看的印象是神秘的。内部与外部不相符合。该项目没有复制可识别的住宅类型。

The parapets are seamless. The mandatory constraints and serrations of the dwelling are apparent in the stairs, shower, cupboards, landscaping, artificial lighting and glazing. The rich complexity of the interior and habitable basement is not disclosed to the public. The impression from the street is enigmatic. The interior does not correspond with the exterior. The project does not replicate recognizable dwelling typologies.

室内没有一致的天花板水平。在地下室，天花板水平是2.1米。2.7米，4.3米和5.7米。在底层，天花板水平是2.7米和4.5米。在第一层，天花板的高度是2.7米，3.2米和4.6米。楼梯空隙的高度为4.3米至6.2米。所有的楼层都由空隙连接，这样可以分配额外的光线，帮助自然通风，并缓解场地限制。

The interior does not have consistent ceiling levels. In the basement the ceiling levels are 2.1 meters. 2.7 meters, 4.3 meters, and 5.7 meters. On the ground level the ceiling levels are 2.7 meters and 4.5 meters. On level 1 the ceiling levels are 2.7 meters, 3.2 meters, and 4.6 meters. The stair voids have heights as great as 4.3 meters to 6.2 meters. All the levels are connected by voids, which distribute additional light, assist in natural ventialtion and relieve the site constraints.
