公园大道的房子是一个改建和加建项目,也是一个与城市设计有关的项目。

The Park Lane house is an alterations and additions project which is also a project concerned with urban design.

在形式上,建筑被简化为柏拉图式的体量或象征性和暗示性的形式,为室内的审美和功能要求服务。 材料的选择是为了质地和耐久性,以支持形式上的表达,并满足业主和建筑师的审美感觉。

Formally, the architecture is reduced to platonic volume or emblematic and suggestive forms which serve the aesthetic and functional requirements of the interiors. Materials are chosen for texture, durability,to support the formal expression and to delight the owner’s and architect’s aesthetic sensibilities.

这座房子最有趣的地方是它作为城市设计的一个组成部分在它的邻居中的功能。

What is perhaps most interesting about this house is it’s function as a component of urban design in it’s neighbourhood.

这个高度暴露的场地,三面都是街道、小巷和公园,使用了建筑和城市设计的相互支持的综合体来完成大量的工作。 面对公园和小巷的朴素和暗示性的形式提供了一个实质性的存在,其规模和质量与它们在城市领域的作用相适应。

The highly exposed site, bound by street, lane and park on three sides uses a mutually supportive synthesis of architecture and urban design to do a lot of work. The austere and suggestive forms which face park and lane provide a substantial presence, appropriate in scale and quality for their role in the urban realm.

同时,这些形式为内部提供了隐私,可以在地面上的关键点从不透明到透明进行调节。

Simultaneously, these forms provide privacy to the interior which can be modulated at key points on the ground level from opaque to transparent.

场地后部的一棵壮观的桉树是对项目的馈赠–建筑形式和程序依偎在其慷慨的树冠下。建筑可能会比这棵树长寿,但它的遗产将继续存在,希望能给它的继任者带来启示。

A spectacular eucalypt at the rear of the site is a gift to the project – architectural form and program nestles under its generous canopy.The building might outlast the tree, but it’s legacy will remain and hopefully suggest its successor.
