该项目取自意大利语 “nido”,意思是鸟巢或幼儿园,对于一个从该地区二十世纪中期的移民历史发展而来的项目来说,是如此的贴切。客户的祖父母第一次从意大利移民到澳大利亚时,购买该住宅是希望回到最初的原籍地。这段旅程是建筑师和建筑商之间的一次探索,以探索城市中小规模生活的可能性。小户型生活价值的关键是能够最大限度地利用自然光,增加开放空间,将视野延伸到远方,最大限度地利用自然通风,并确保现代生活的各个方面在设计中都得到满足。该住宅最初是为一对年轻夫妇设计的,在这个过程中,已经发展成为一个六人的家。设计方法是通过重新分配整个房屋的开放区域来保持现有的开放空间。每一层都通过厨房/餐厅/客厅旁边的中央庭院与外部相连,并从住宅内所有区域进入屋顶平台。

The project has been coined from the Italian word “nido” meaning bird’s nest or kindergarten, so fitting for a project that developed from its mid-twentieth century migrant history in the area. The home was purchased as a desire to return to the original place of origin when the client’s grandparents first migrated from Italy to Australia. This journey has been an exploration between architect and builder to explore the opportunities possible in small living in the city. Critical to the value of small living is the ability to maximise natural light, increase open space, extend views into the distance, maximise natural ventilation and ensure all aspects of modern life have been catered for in the design. The home was originally designed for a young couple and during the journey has developed into a home for six. The design approach was to maintain the existing open space by re-distributing the open area throughout the house. Each level is connected to the outside, via a central courtyard next to kitchen/dining/living and roof deck accessed from all areas within the home.

孩子们是设计的核心,楼上的卧室直接连接到屋顶平台,包括在现有的维多利亚式露台屋顶空间中的一个小房子和一个垂直花园,用于种植,而城市的天际线和邻近的屋顶则为孩子们的活动提供框架。作为建筑师,我们希望住宅的居住者能够感觉到与社区的联系,通过观察其位置的广阔性来感受生活在一个小地方的乐趣。楼上的浴室有高高的天花板和城市的景色,允许三个最小的孩子在欢乐的游戏中分享淋浴。固定的双层床和墙壁上的小角落让孩子们的卧室便于开展各种活动。从楼下的厨房可以看到屋顶平台,通过院子上楼,确保所有居住者在家中相互联系。楼梯从生活区可以看到,并作为孩子们的游戏区,有一个位于庭院和客厅之间的三步梯。

The children have been central to the design with upstairs bedrooms directly connected to the roof deck including a cubby house in the existing Victorian terrace roof space and a vertical garden for planting whilst the city skyline and neighbouring rooftops frame the children’s activities. As architects we wanted the occupants of the home to feel connected to their community, to feel the pleasure of living in a small site by viewing the vastness of its location. The upstairs bathroom with its high ceilings and views of the city, allows the three youngest children to share the shower in joyful play. Fixed bunk beds and nooks in walls allow the children bedrooms to facilitate various activities. From the kitchen downstairs the roof deck is visible through the courtyard up the stairs, ensuring all occupants are connected to each other in the home. The staircase is visible from the living areas and acts as a play area for the children with a three-step stoop located between the courtyard and living room.

作为一个拐角处,沿着住宅一侧的次要入口可以进入厨房/餐厅和客厅之间的走道,视觉上将院子和街道连接起来。这允许与街道有一定程度的接触,同时保持隐私。院子里的玻璃是完全可操作的,将室外的空间延伸到客厅。客厅旁边的木板墙后面隐藏着一个大的下沉式弧形Agape浴缸,在洗澡的时候是开放的,让孩子们可以享受整个生活和庭院空间。与庭院平行的玻璃走道及其高耸的天花板引入了厨房的高容积。厨房是这个家庭的核心,食物和共享饮食是这个家庭的核心。进入厨房,一个朝北的大窗户突出了厨房的精神,光线从各个方向渗透到空间。毗邻的树木给人一种幸福感,而高大的木质衬里橱柜突出了扩展的垂直体积。

As a corner site, the secondary entrance along the side of the home accesses a walkway between the kitchen/dining and living visually connecting the courtyard to the street. This allows a level of engagement with the street whilst maintaining privacy. The courtyard glazing is completely operable extending the outdoor into the living room. A large sunken curved Agape bath hidden behind timber batten wall next to the living room, is left open during bath-time, for the children to enjoy the whole of the living and courtyard space. The glazed walkway parallel to the courtyard with its high lofty ceiling introduces the high volume of the kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of this home with food and shared eating central to the family. Entering the kitchen, a large north-facing window accentuates the spirit of the kitchen with light filtering the space in all directions. Views to the adjoining trees give a sense of well-being whilst high timber-lined joinery cupboards highlight the extended vertical volume.

固定的弧形厨房餐桌和长椅适合家人和朋友在晚餐时使用,长椅允许客人在孩子们吃早饭时交际。地下室作为洗衣房、地窖和孩子们的室内游戏区的公用事业区,沿着楼梯往下走,墙壁上有原来的青石基座和原来的砖块,这些砖块排列在院子里,确保地下室被视为这个区域的延伸,院子里的玻璃窗连接到地下室的楼梯和走廊上。木质衬里的地下室天花板创造了温暖,而黑色黑板墙让孩子们在活动中获得快乐。位于住宅前部的父母卧室是一个隐蔽的地方,有一个套间和一个大的步入式长袍,可以让孩子们在进入住宅前脱掉鞋子和物品。

The fixed curved kitchen table and banquette fit the family and friends during dinner time a bench allowing guests to mingle whilst the children have an early dinner. The basement serves as the utility area for laundry, cellar and an indoor play area for the children, descending the stairs the walls are lined with the original bluestone footings and the original bricks from the house which line the courtyard as well ensuring the basement is seen as an extension of this area, glazing from the courtyard connects the basement stairs and hallway beyond. The timber-lined basement ceiling creates warmth whilst the black chalkboard walls allow the children to delight in activity. The parents’ bedroom located at the front of the home is a retreat with an ensuite and a large walk-in robe that accommodates the children to remove shoes and belonging before they enter the home.

所有的玻璃都朝向北方或东方,最大限度地提高了被动的太阳增益。维多利亚时代的西式窗户主要位于潮湿地区。作为建筑商自己的家,在整个传统材料的装饰下,非凡的工艺是显而易见的。这是意大利泥水匠的最后一个项目,沿墙传授他们的威尼斯式抹灰知识,水磨石混凝土地板和切割弯曲的威尔士石板砖到外部。在潮湿的地方和院子里应用澳大利亚和日本的手工瓷砖,确保在当代生活中突出和保持建筑传统的本质。

All glazing is orientated to the north or east maximising passive solar gain. The Victorian western windows are maintained located predominately in wet areas. Built as the builder’s own home, the exceptional crafting is evident with the finish of traditional materials throughout. This to be the Italian’s plasterers last project imparting their knowledge of Venetian plastering along the walls, terrazzo concrete floors and the cutting of curved welsh slate tiles to the exterior. The application of Australian and Japanese handmade tiles to wet areas and the courtyard ensure the essence of building traditions in contemporary living is highlighted and maintained.
