这个项目的客户–一对夫妇和他们的两个孩子–想要一个单层的房子,同时也要在一个相对较小的街区尽可能地保留他们的花园。设计策略是拆除旧的斜屋,增加一个50平方米的小型扩建的连接生活空间,使房子的总占地面积增加30平方米,通过功能重叠来充分利用每个空间,而不是为每个空间增加一个新房间。

The clients for this project – a couple and their two kids – wanted a single-story house while also retaining as much of their garden as possible on a relatively small block. The design strategy was to remove the old lean-to and add a small 50 m2 extension of connected living spaces, increasing the total footprint of the house by 30 m2, making the most of each space by overlapping functions rather than adding a new room for each.

新增加的房间背离北部边界,以最大限度地利用自然光,为客厅创造两个方面。在内部,扩建部分的天花板体量参考了现有风化板房屋的蜂窝式规划,在每个 “房间 “上方创造了一系列松散的空间。这给人一种宽敞和明亮的感觉,在可能的情况下增加了天花板的高度,并在这些天花板的空隙中增加了一个天窗,将自然光更深地引入房子。

The new addition is set back from the northern boundary to maximize natural light and create two aspects for the living room. Internally, the coffered ceiling volumes over the extension reference the cellular plan of the existing weatherboard house by creating a series of loosely defined spaces above each ‘room’. This gives a sense of spaciousness and light by increasing ceiling heights where possible and adding a skylight into one of these ceiling voids to bring natural light deeper into the house.

新的空间围绕着一个储藏室,里面有一个隐蔽的、可伸缩的电视和其他技术设备,还有一张日间床,在书房(现有房屋的最后一个房间)和新的生活区之间创造了一个连接空间。景观和游泳池通过重叠不同的种植、游泳和聚会区域,在室外继续这种方法。与室内的日光浴床和储藏室相呼应,花园被地上的游泳池、一个长的混凝土长椅和一个定制的钢制户外壁炉的垂直体积所点缀。

The new spaces are anchored around a storage volume housing a concealed, retractable TV and other tech and a day bed which creates a connecting space in between the study (the last room in the existing house) and the new living area. The landscape and pool continue this approach outside by overlapping different zones for planting, swimming and gathering. Mirroring the daybed and storage volume inside, the garden is punctuated by the above-ground pool, a long concrete bench and the vertical volume of a custom steel outdoor fireplace.

材料和饰面被应用于纹理和颜色的块状,以定义房子的不同元素或部分。现有的房子被分为两部分–浅色的体量用于孩子们的卧室和书房,深色的 “情绪化 “体量容纳了主卧室/套房和连接到新扩建部分的走廊。新的空间更加明亮和简洁,结合了水磨石地板、胶合板和墙壁以及两个最小的黑色厨房橱柜。在外观上,新的扩建部分与老房子区分开来,采用了深色的包层和一系列深红色的门框,使立面具有深度、质感和保护性的开口。

The materials and finishes are applied in blocks of texture and color to define different elements or sections of the house. The existing house is divided into two – a light volume for kids bedrooms and study, and a darker ‘moody’ volume housing the main bedroom/ensuite and the corridor connecting to the new extension. The new spaces are much brighter and more stripped back, with a combination of the terrazzo floor, plywood joinery and walls and two minimal black kitchen cabinets. Externally, the new addition is distinguished from the old house with a combination of dark cladding and a series of the deep red door reveals and fins which give the façade depth, texture and protect openings.
