一个5口之家希望整合两个相邻的露台，创造一个现代、灵活和可持续发展的房子。在最初的交谈中，他们表达了一个雄心壮志，希望以一种整体的方式来处理环境设计，而不是增加一个不相干的功能清单。
A family of 5 wanting to consolidate two adjoining terraces to create a contemporary, flexible and sustainable house. In initial conversations, they expressed an ambition to approach environmental design in a holistic manner rather than by adding a disconnected list of features.
他们设想这将是他们未来20多年的家，并要求它能适应家庭的变化（包括可能容纳年迈的父母，互惠生，大学年龄的孩子在一个独立的区域，和/或一个潜在的收入来源）。这个家庭对邻里关系的依恋，以及他们希望在孩子成长过程中留在社区的愿望，要求房子具有内在的灵活性和适应性，以轻松应对随着时间的推移而变化的环境。
They envisaged this as their home for the next 20+ years, and required that it accommodate family changes (including potentially accommodating aging parents, an au pair, university-aged children in a self-contained area, and/or a potential income stream). The family’s attachment to their neighbourhood, and their desire to remain in the community as their children grow up called for a house with inbuilt flexibility and adaptability, to easily respond to changing circumstances over time.
挑战：遗产和可持续性。天空屋的名字来自于其中心的大型（6米x4米）可操作的屋顶窗户，这是我们气候适应性方法的功能运作的关键。 尽管理事会提出了环保议程，但规划人员起初并不愿意支持这一概念，因为他们无法在遗产保护区的限制范围内协调可持续建筑的创新方法。在客户的支持下，建筑师与理事会官员举行了一系列会议，解释、讨论和协商一个既能满足可持续发展又能满足遗产要求的结果。通过这一过程，我们在合理的时间框架内获得了理事会的批准，同时又不影响设计成果。
The Challenges: heritage & sustainability. Sky House takes its name from the very large (6m x4m) operable roof window at its centre, the key to the functional operation of our climatic adaptability approach. Despite Council’s stated environmental agenda, planning officers were at first reluctant to support the concept, unable to reconcile an innovative approach to sustainable architecture within the confines of the heritage conservation area restrictions. With the backing of the client, the architects pursued a series of meetings with Council officers to explain, discuss and negotiate an outcome that would meet both sustainability and heritage requirements. Through this process, we obtained Council approval in a reasonable time frame without compromising on the design outcomes.
可持续发展的房子。结果： 天空之屋解决了生活在气候变化时代的问题，是我们不断探索创造气候响应型建筑的一部分，我们通过研究、教学和实践进行探索。中庭是一个根据自然环境精心调整的气候装置，也是主要的空间组织者。它将私人空间和公共空间分隔开来，并在各层之间形成垂直连接，使每个房间都能交叉通风、自然采光，并与室外相通。中庭单枪匹马地解决了露台住宅中遇到的许多典型问题。
Sustainable house: The Results. Sky House addresses living in the age of climate change and is part of an ongoing search to create climate-responsive buildings, an inquiry we pursue through research, teaching, and practice. The atrium is a climatic device carefully calibrated to the natural environment and is also the primary space organiser. It separates private and public spaces and creates a vertical connection between levels, giving every room cross ventilation, natural light, and a connection to the outdoors. The atrium single-handedly solves many of the typical problems encountered in terrace houses.
通过可持续设计和建筑技术的无缝结合，实现了舒适性。这种方法在最近的夏季热浪中得到了验证，当时客户报告说，虽然只是自然冷却，但在室内的感觉就像占据了一个空调空间。
Comfort is achieved through the seamless combination of sustainable design and building technology. This approach was validated during recent summer heatwaves when the clients reported that being inside felt like occupying an air-conditioned space, although it is only naturally cooled.
天窗是一种高性能的定制元素，与外部遮阳屏整合在一起，可实现多种开/关组合，因此在日常和季节性的基础上起到主要的气候调节作用。在后甲板上的额外伸缩式遮阳系统提供了一个受保护的室外区域，并减少了地面的太阳热辐射。可持续设计还包括绿色屋顶、菜园和雨水收集。天空屋可持续发展房屋将悉尼露台变成了一种四季的体验，欢迎云、树和天空的到来，创造了与自然元素的独特联系。
The sky-window is a high-performance custom-made element integrated with an external sunshade screen which results in multiple open/close combinations, therefore acting as the primary climate-modulator on both a daily and seasonal basis. An additional retractable shade system over the rear deck provides a protected outdoor area and reduces solar heat gain to the ground level. Sustainable design also incorporates green roofs, a vegetable garden, and rainwater harvesting. The Sky House sustainable house transforms the Sydney terrace into an experience of the seasons, welcoming in the clouds, the trees and the sky, creating a unique connection with the elements of nature.
