McIlwrick Street Residences是一个位于温莎一个住宅区的三层楼房项目。就像一个古老的欧洲村庄,该项目是一个小型的建筑群,你可以看到并在其间行走,这样重要的新增建筑感觉就像它一直在那里。

The McIlwrick Street Residences are a three-townhouse development located on a single residential block in Windsor. Like an old European village, the development is a small cluster of buildings you can see through and walk between such that the significant addition feels as though it could have always been there.

一系列缩小的形式和深陷的窗户,都是用齐平的砖块和黑钢的细节来回应邻近的巷道的材料性。这座建筑更像是维多利亚时代早期的澳大利亚建筑,它是一个由坚实的材料和历史悠久的工艺制成的安静的整合,在现代发展中通常不使用。坚硬的结构被攀爬的藤蔓所软化,使建筑具有时间感。

A series of reduced forms with deep-set window reveals are made in flush struck brickwork with black steel detailing responding to materiality of the neighbouring laneway. Built more like early Victorian Australian architecture, it is a quiet integration made from solid materials and time-honoured craftsmanship not typically used in modern developments. The hard-edged structures are softened by climbing vines to give the building a sense of time.

为了继续将这些建筑打造成独立的住宅,我们为每个住宅开发了不同的材料调色板,以创造一种独立的身份感。前面的房子有参考时期的细节,中间的房子是更明亮的白色,有浇筑的混凝土长椅,后面的房子是中性的暖灰色和木材。建筑物之间的空间为每个住宅创造了私人的户外露台,并作为光井进入发展的内部区域。

Continuing to establish the buildings as separate homes, different materials palettes have been developed for each residence to create an individual sense of identity. The front house has referential period detailing, the middle is brighter white with poured concrete benches and the back is neutral in warm grey and timber. The spaces between the buildings create private outdoor terraces for each residence and act as light wells into the inner areas of the development.

虽然这些住宅都是独立的建筑,但它们之间的亲密关系反映了居住在其中的多代同堂的家庭。它们交织在一起,并向相邻的巷道开放,作为一个额外的、共享的户外露台。只有住宅可以进入,巷道是家庭聚集的隐蔽空间,也是孩子们玩耍的安全场所。

While the residences are each a building in their own right, there is a closeness that reflect the multi-generational family that inhabits them. They intertwine and open onto the adjacent laneway used as an additional, shared outdoor terrace. Only accessed by the residences, the laneway is a concealed space for the family to congregate as well as a safe for kids to play.
