洛锡安项目借鉴了肯尼迪-诺兰公司正在不断发展的建筑方法。在我们的实践中，有一些动机或倾向可以解释我们的方法。我们想成为当代人，在这个意义上，我们想反映当前的文化和感性。然而，我们也想通过记忆为当代建筑表达增加维度、意义和丰富性。通过唤起记忆，通过制造令人难忘的建筑。

The Lothian project draws on an approach to Architecture that is being continually developed at Kennedy Nolan. There are a number of motivations or tendencies in our practice that explain our approach. We want to be contemporary, in the sense that we want to reflect the culture and sensibility of the present. However, we also want to add dimension, meaning, and richness to contemporary architectural expression through memory. Through evoking memory, and through making memorable architecture.

在Lothian，我们的出发点是北墨尔本的特殊历史，特别是对所提议的住宅类型的理解。我们参考了当地十九世纪和二十世纪初的工业建筑、规模宏大的仓库，以及制造业黄金时代令人印象深刻的建筑实例。红砖是我们参考建筑的首选材料，它构成了建筑形式表达的出发点，并暗示了细节和装饰。

At Lothian, our starting point was the particular history of North Melbourne, especially as understood with respect to the types of dwellings being proposed. We looked to local examples of nineteenth and early twentieth-century industrial buildings, the handsomely scaled warehouses, and the impressive edifices of manufacturing’s golden age. Red bricks, the material of choice for our reference buildings, formed a launch point for the formal expression of the building and suggested both detail and ornament.

对我们来说，如果不把建筑的使用作为一个核心关注点，就不可能发展出建筑的理念。因此，在这个项目中，我们首先关注的是家庭性问题。肯尼迪-诺兰的基础和核心是住宅建筑，我们对这一领域的兴趣源于对制作一个支持居住仪式的建筑所需的深入调查。

It is impossible for us to develop the idea for a building without its use as a core concern. For this project, we are therefore preoccupied with the question of domesticity. The basis and core of Kennedy Nolan is residential architecture, and our interest in this area stems from a deep investigation of what it takes to make a building that supports the rituals of habitation.

洛锡安是一个程式化和形式化的混合体，以应对其岛上的特殊场地条件。南北朝向的结果是东边和西边的主要立面，这反过来又暗示了西边深深的阴影立面和东边对隐私的仔细考虑。南部的住宅被想象成艺术家的工作室–它们朝南的大窗户提供了艺术家们所追求的丰富的漫射南光，异想天开的拱门让人想起了浪漫的故事。在北面，一个公寓被悬挂在现有的树冠上，在一个枝繁叶茂的鸟巢中高出阿登街，古怪的窗子为街道提供了特色，并有特色、别致的室内装饰。

Lothian is a programmatic and formal hybrid in response to the very particular site conditions of its island site. The north-south orientation results in principal elevations to the east and west which in turn suggest the deeply shaded façades to the west and the careful consideration of privacy to the east. The southern dwellings are imagined as artist studios – their large south-facing windows providing the abundant diffuse south light so sought after by artists, the whimsical arches recalling the romance. To the north, an apartment is suspended in the existing tree canopy, elevated above Arden Street in a leafy eyrie with eccentric oriel windows providing character on the street, and characterful, chic interiors.

强烈的设计意图也是为了创造宽松的生活场所。在空间、体积和质量方面都很慷慨，但在空间安排方面也很慷慨，在密集的城市环境中提供了一种隐私感–这就是本项目提供的真正的奢侈。所有的居住空间都从街道上抬高，这为远处的景色提供了前景，并为街道界面提供了庇护。街道界面被仔细考虑–四个中央联排别墅的入口离人行道提高了一半的高度–在靠近街道的地方保持隐私，使底层的卧室或书房既安全又与街道在视觉上分开。在南边的住宅中，底层空间与街道分开，在一个木栅栏下，暗示着家庭办公室的用途，保留了住宅的隐私和尊严。

A strong design intention was also to make places to live which are generous. Generous, in terms of space, volume, and quality, but also in terms of the arrangement of spaces that afford a sense of privacy in a dense urban environment – and this is the true luxury provided in this project. All living spaces are elevated from the street which provides for prospects to the distant views and refuge from the street interface. Street interfaces have been carefully considered – the four central townhouses have entries raised a half-height from the footpath – maintaining privacy in proximity to the street allowing the ground floor bedroom or study to be both secure and visually separated from the street. In the south dwellings, the ground floor space is separated from the street set back under a loggia and suggesting a home office use which preserves the privacy and dignity of the dwelling.
