由墨尔本工作室Kennon +的建筑师Pete Kennon为一个年轻的五口之家设计,这座四居室的房屋无缝地将古朴的维多利亚式小屋与极简主义和形式主义严谨的现代,混凝土延伸完美结合。与主人,屡获殊荣的美发师乔伊·斯坎佐佐(Joey Scandizzo)和他的妻子,电视名人简·斯坎佐佐(Jane Scandizzo)紧密合作开发的这栋房子是对夫妇的生活方式和敏感性的直接建筑反应,反映出 Kennon对建筑,记忆和身份之间关系的探索。
精心翻新的维多利亚式建筑以时期装饰为特色-在外部,挡风玻璃覆层立面装饰有铸铁花边装饰,内部装饰有华丽的大理石壁炉架,石膏檐口和天花板玫瑰花-现浇铸混凝土扩展是一种范例极简设计。混凝土结构使延伸部分具有坚固的感觉,传达了持久性和稳定性,但与此同时,其基本的拱形盒子形状勾勒出房屋的原型形式,让人联想到朴实的感觉。更重要的是,重复的山墙形状呼应了原始房屋的建筑传统,尽管风格有所不同,但还是融汇了新旧建筑。

Designed by architect Pete Kennon of Melbourne-based studio Kennon+ for a young family of five, this four bedroom home seamlessly combines a quaint Victorian cottage with a modern, concrete extension of minimalist grace and formalist rigour. Developed in close collaboration with its owners, award-winning hairdresser Joey Scandizzo and his wife, TV personality Jane Scandizzo, the house is a direct architectural response to the couple’s lifestyle and sensibilities, reflecting Kennon’s exploration of the relationship between architecture, memory and identity.
While the meticulously refurbished Victorian building is characterised by period embellishment – on the outside, the weatherboard clad façade is adorned by ornamental cast iron lacework, with ornate marble mantelpieces, plaster cornices and ceiling roses inside – the in-situ cast concrete extension is a paradigm of minimalist design. The concrete structure imbues the extension with a sense of robustness conveying permanence and stability, but at the same time, its elemental, arched-box shape delineates the archetypal form of a house evoking a feeling of homeliness. What’s more, the repeated gabled shape echoes the architectural heritage of the original house, harmoniously blending old and new despite the stylistic differences.
