欢乐屋是对吉隆市郊区的风化板工人小屋的一个有趣的、色彩鲜艳的补充。

Joyful House is a fun and brightly coloured addition to a weatherboard worker’s cottage on the outskirts of Geelong.

随着他们第三个孩子的到来,我们的客户要求我们打开他们房子的后部,为他们充满活力的年轻家庭提供各种充满光线的空间。我们的干预措施保留了原有的卧室,增加了新的服务设施和一个多功能的客厅,并向宽敞的后花园开放。增加的部分在颜色和形式上与原来的平房和周围的街景形成对比,是白色风化板的一个黑包。

With the arrival of their third child, our clients asked us to open the rear of their house to provide a variety of light-filled spaces for their energetic young family. Our intervention retains original bedrooms, adding new services and a multifunctional living room that opens onto the generous back garden. The addition contrasts in colour and form to the original cottage and surrounding streetscape, a black-clad counterpoint to white weatherboard.

起居室的屋顶结构、天花板和上层墙壁都浸泡在多乐士 “欢乐 “中。仔细的窗户位置有助于这个明亮的黄色天幕将阳光反射到每个角落。露台上的半透明玻璃纤维屋顶有助于倾泻更多的日光,感觉就像客厅的户外延伸。陡峭的倾斜屋顶为楼下的生活功能提供了高度,并为上面的夹层休闲空间留出了空间。

The roof structure, ceiling and upper walls of the living room are dipped in Dulux Joyful. Careful window placement helps this bright yellow canopy bounce sunlight into every nook and cranny. A translucent fibreglass roof over the deck helps pour in even more daylight, and feels like an outdoor extension to the living room. The steeply sloping roof gives height to the living functions downstairs and makes room for a cheeky mezzanine retreat above.

我们在选择材料时格外谨慎,这些材料将经受住孩子们成长过程中的风暴:硬木地板、胶合板和剑麻地毯触感温暖,在摔跤比赛和艺术日中能很好地反弹。橱柜门上的圆形切口非常适合小手和探究的头脑。

We took extra care in selecting materials that will weather the storm of growing children: hardwood timber floors, plywood joinery and sisal carpet are warm to touch and bounce back well from wrestling matches and art days. Circular cutouts in cupboard doors are perfect for small hands and inquiring minds.

我们的客户对喜乐屋的期望很高,但他们的预算却不高。我们与建筑商Little Constructions和一系列当地工匠紧密合作,以控制成本。在设计和文件编制过程中,我们定期开会,以保持经济和豪华的平衡。我们在整个房子里使用了标准的施工工艺和简陋的材料,但努力让它们发挥出它们的作用。其结果是一个美丽、温馨和充满活力的房子,但建造成本很低。

Our clients’ ambitions for Joyful House were substantial, but their budget wasn’t. We collaborated closely with the builder, Little Constructions, and a range of local craftsmen to keep a lid on costs. During the design and documentation process, we met regularly to keep economy and luxury in balance. We used standard construction processes and humble materials throughout the house, but worked hard to have them punch above their weight. The result is a beautiful, welcoming and vibrant house that cost very little to build.
