随着我们的城市逐渐和不可避免地密集化，我们希望在狭小的角落和缝隙中占据一个我们可以称之为家的地方。该项目位于送货卡车、自行车和永无止境的交通队伍的喧嚣之中；该项目位于墨尔本Cremorne的一个160平方米的场地内，背靠一个关键的商业区。尽管场地的背景，我们的客户非常喜欢这个地区的纯粹的丰富性和活力，以至于他们开始将这个地方作为长期居住的地方。

As our cities incrementally and inevitably densify, we look to occupy the tiny nooks and crannies for a place we can call home. Located amongst the hubbub of delivery trucks, bicycles, and a never-ending procession of vehicle traffic; this project sits within a minute 160m2 site, backing onto a key commercial precinct within Cremorne in Melbourne. Despite the site’s context, our client loved the sheer richness and vibrance of the area so much that they set out to make this place a long-term place of residence.

设计大纲力求最大限度地提高舒适度、太阳能被动式设计和自然光的获取–由于附近即将兴建的12层楼的开发项目，使之更具挑战性。为了解决这个问题，我们与相邻的邻居合作规划了拟议的增建体量，该邻居当时已获得规划许可，将在标的地块的北部扩建两层楼。通过合作，天空的视野实际上是双倍的，而且两个房产都实现了相互的视觉隐私，而不需要物理隐私屏。

The design brief seeks to maximize comfort, solar passive design, and access to natural light – made all the more challenging due to an impending twelve-storey development to be constructed nearby. To resolve this, the volumes of the proposed additions were planned out in collaboration with the adjoining neighbor who at the time was granted a planning permit for a two-storey extension to the north of the subject site. By working together, views of the sky were in effect doubled and mutual visual privacy for both properties was achieved without the need for physical privacy screens.

该布局有意偏离了典型的老房子后面的开放计划插件。相反，功能和空间跨越了后院的周边，以便与花园和景观凉棚创造一个连续的界面和联系。紧凑的后院配有蚯蚓堆肥和雨水花园，用2500升的雨水收集箱进行灌溉，此外还提供太阳能热水和超出规范的要求。

The layout is an intentional departure from the typical open plan plug-in to the back of an older house. Instead, functions and spaces straddle the perimeter of the backyard so as to create a continuous interface and connection with the garden and landscaped pergola. Complete with worm composting and a rain garden, the compact but the hard-working backyard is irrigated with a 2500-liter rainwater harvesting tank, provided in addition to solar-boosted hot water and above and beyond-code requirements.

与Cremorne本身一样，房子的混凝土、木材和镀锌钢的材料性被想象成毫不含糊的粗糙和坚固。后者是对当地工人别墅屋顶的历史背景的自然和必要的参考。

Much like Cremorne itself the concrete, timber, and galvanized steel materiality of the house is imagined as unapologetically gritty and robust. The latter of which, a natural and necessary reference to the immediate historical context of workers’ cottage roofscapes, seen in the local area.

在室内，墙面上铺设了澳大利亚的斑纹胶皮板，用水性无溶剂密封剂和预制水泥板进行装饰。石膏板用得很少，只在必要的地方使用–比如高大的 “蛋壳 “天窗内部体积，旨在扩散和放大进入的日光。

Inside, the walls are lined with Australian spotted gum veneer panels finished with water-based non-solvent sealers and prefinished cement sheets. Plasterboard is used sparingly and only where necessary – such as the tall ‘eggshell’ skylight internal volume, intended to diffuse and amplify incoming daylight.
