我们的客户是一个四口之家，包括两个青少年，已经在这个房子里住了好几年了。这栋房子是一栋传统的、适度的木制别墅（位于墨尔本的一个内城区郊区），虽然对年幼的孩子来说已经足够了，但在容纳四个成年人方面却显示出其局限性。现有的房子缺乏实用的生活空间，内部光线，以及与户外的联系。 原有的别墅有三间卧室、一间客厅和一间浴室，相对来说还算不错。然而，别墅后面的各种破旧的 “简易棚”，包括一个不适当的厨房和饭厅、洗衣房和外部厕所，早已过了使用期限。
Our clients, a family of four, including two teenagers had occupied this house for several years. The house, a traditional and modest timber villa (situated in an inner urban suburb of Melbourne) while adequate for young children, was showing its limitations in accommodating four adults. The existing house lacked functioning living spaces, internal light, and connection to the outdoors. Accommodating three bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom, the original villa was in relatively good order. However, an assortment of tatty ‘lean-tos’ at the rear of the villa containing an inadequate kitchen and dining room, laundry, and external toilet were long past their use-by date.
设计方案需要在内部和外部开放空间，同时创造安静和隐私的机会–这些空间提供不同的情绪，支持不同的活动，同时感受到与整体的联系。倾斜的屋顶被拆除，别墅的保留部分进行了一些小的修改，包括更新浴室，在大厅插入一个大的玻璃转轴门，以创造私人和社会功能之间的分离，（包括在墙上开一个小口，使业主的狗Presti和Billy能在房子里自由活动）。通往起居室的门被拆除，墙壁被打开，进入大厅。安装了一个新的朝南的窗户，以捕捉通向房产后部新增加的景色。
The design response was required to open the spaces, internally and externally while creating opportunities for quiet and privacy- spaces that provided for differing moods and supported varying activities while feeling a connection to the whole. The lean-tos were demolished, and the retained portion of the Villa underwent some minor modifications including renewing the bathroom, inserting a large, glazed pivot door into the hall to create separation between the private and social functions, (inclusive of a small opening in the wall to enable the owners’ dogs Presti and Billy to move freely around the house). The door to the sitting room was removed and the wall opened into the hall. A new south-facing window was installed to capture views through to the new addition to the rear of the property.
加建部分由两个部分组成，一个是低矮的平顶部分，包含一个新的洗衣房、第二个厕所和书房，使用与现有别墅相同的材料语言，通向第二部分，一个明显更大胆的空间，包含厨房、餐厅和家庭客厅。一个小院子进一步将原来的别墅与主要的加建部分分开，这为房子的主要社交功能提供了第二个通道，绕过了邻近卧室的传统前门。加建部分的分体式屋顶是对墨尔本冲突性天气的一种回应，它在一天内有四个季节（这是一个得来不易的声誉）。在气候上，它经历了盛行北风的干热夏季和湿冷的冬季，天气模式主要是偏南的。
The addition, constructed as two elements, one, a low flat-roofed section containing a new laundry, second toilet, and study using the same material language as the existing Villa, leads into the second part, a distinctly bolder space, containing the kitchen, dining, and family living room. A small courtyard further separates the original villa from the main addition which provides a second access to the main social function of the house, bypassing the traditional front door adjacent to the bedrooms. The split roof in the addition is a response to the conflicting Melbourne weather, its four seasons in one day (a well-earned reputation). Climatically it experiences hot dry summers with prevailing northerly winds and cold wet winters, and the weather pattern is predominantly southerly.
厨房和餐厅区的屋顶朝北倾斜，可以在屋顶上安装光伏阵列，朝南的高大窗户可以看到邻近的成熟桉树，窗户顶部和底部的开窗帘可以提供空气流动，以清除夏季的热量。在自助餐座位的顶部有一个水力加热板的通风口，为冬季的舒适提供了一个暖风帘。起居区的屋顶朝南倾斜，滑动门从屋顶向后设置，为朝向后院的小型过渡性露台提供天气保护。突出的窗户朝北，使冬天的阳光能够深入到居住空间，屋檐悬垂遮挡了不想要的炎热的夏天的阳光，突出的开口窗扇允许通风。
The roof over the kitchen and dining zone is pitched facing north, enabling the installation of a PV Array on the roof, and the tall south-facing window captures views of neighboring mature eucalypt trees, opening sashes at the top and bottom of this window provides airflow to purge summer heat. A hydronic heating panel vented at the top of the buffet seat provides a curtain of warm air for winter comfort. The roof over the living area is pitched facing south with sliding doors set back from the roof providing weather protection to the small transitional deck out toward the rear yard. Highlight windows facing north allow low winter sun to penetrate deep into the living space, an eave overhang shields unwanted hot summer sun and a highlight opening sash allows for ventilation.
优先考虑被动式设计策略，使住宅能够最大限度地减少能源消耗，优化场地的自然属性。双层玻璃木窗、屋顶水收集和再利用以及太阳能电池板阵列和可持续材料（木材、大理石、胶合板等）的使用，使得该住宅非常宜居。我们的客户说，除了翻新后的房屋带来的更多功能、环保性能和享受之外，最令人惊讶的结果是这个新环境支持的家庭互动和联系的增加。作为一个建筑事务所，我们工作的一个驱动原则是仔细考虑我们项目的选址和规划。当我们的项目占地面积小、预算不高时，这一点尤其重要。
Prioritizing passive design strategies has allowed the home to minimize energy consumption and optimize the natural attributes of the site. Double-glazed timber windows, roof water collection and reuse in addition to the solar panel array, and use of sustainable materials (timber, marmoleum, plywood, etc) make for a very liveable home. Our clients remarked that separately to the added functionality, environmental performance, and enjoyment that a renovated home brings, the overwhelming and somewhat surprising outcome has been the increased family interaction and connection that this new environment supports. As an architectural practice, a driving tenet of our work is to carefully consider the siting and planning of our projects. This is particularly vital when we are working with small footprints and modest budgets.
