对这栋阴暗破旧的爱德华式房屋进行改造的核心理念是最大限度地利用自然光。 客户的设计大纲规定了一个有效的单层平面图，优先考虑 “光线和流动”，”尊重爱德华时代的特征”，以及对 “弧形边缘 “和 “真实材料 “的偏好。 对这一简报的审视导致了一种强烈的被动设计理念，并通过战略性地放置玻璃和光线对曲线形式的影响以及精心挑选的材料来进一步探索核心理念。
The core idea for the renovation of this dark and run-down Edwardian house was to maximise natural light. The Client’s brief stipulated an efficient floorplan over a single level which prioritised ‘light and flow throughout’, ‘respect for the Edwardian features’ as well a preference for ‘curved edges’ and ‘real materials’. The interrogation of this brief led to a strong passive design philosophy and further exploration of the core idea via strategically placed glazing and the effect of light on curved forms and carefully selected materials.
这座房子包括翻新的现有住宅和一个带屋顶露台的单层后部附加物。关键的设计干预避免了沿用爱德华时代或维多利亚时代住宅翻新的典型模式，这种模式经常看到新的和现有的硬分界线，其特点是匆匆忙忙地通过房子的前部到后面的光线部分。 在这个项目中，整个住宅的舒适性和材料的平等性被放在了首位。
The house comprises of the renovated existing dwelling and a single-storey rear addition with a roof terrace. Key design interventions avoid following the archetypal formula of the renovated Edwardian or Victorian era home which often sees a hard delineation of new and existing, characterised by a rushed commute through the dark front portion of the house, to the light back portion. In this project equality of amenity and materiality throughout the home is prioritised.
我们从现有的场地和周围环境中获得灵感，探索光线对弯曲的形式和纹理材料的影响。 一棵雄伟的桉树、点缀在天际线上的华丽烟囱以及阳光照射在原本平淡无奇的波纹屋顶和栅栏上的戏剧性效果，都是对整个住宅产生共鸣的重要影响。由于不受住宅区第二层的限制，屋顶平面成为一个更有活力的装置，使得两个关键的干预措施能够将光线、形式和纹理的方法提炼成一种独特的室内和建筑语言来点缀这个家。
Inspiration was drawn from the existing site and surroundings to explore the effect of light on curved forms and textured materials. A majestic Eucalyptus tree, ornate chimneys punctuating the skyline and the dramatic effect of the sun hitting the otherwise banal patchwork of corrugated roofs and fences are the critical influences which resonate throughout the home. Unencumbered by the constraints of a second level in a residential zone, the roof plane became a more dynamic device, enabling two key interventions which distil the approach of light, form and texture into a distinctive interior and architectural language to punctuate the home.
第一个是弯曲的夹层窗，它框住了入口大厅，使住宅的现有部分充满光线，并能看到引人注目的桉树。第二个是一个宽阔的玻璃北立面，由一个雕塑般的砖块形式固定。 弯曲和垂直棱角的砖块元素具有很强的功能性–在内部，这个形式包含了厨房、排气管、空调、滑动门和洗衣房的存储。 在外部，它容纳了比萨饼烤箱和烟道、木材堆栈和花园储藏室，同时还充当了屋顶平台的栏杆和俯瞰屏。该项目是与Beatrix Rowe室内设计公司合作设计的，在项目开始时就共同制定了总体概念。建筑师和砖匠的投入也极大地丰富了设计成果，特别是在特色砖的形式方面。
The first is the curved clerestory window which frames the entry hall and floods the existing portion of the home with light and a striking view of the Eucalyptus tree. The second is an expansive glazed northern façade anchored by a sculptural brick form. The curved and vertically corbelled brick element is highly functional – internally, the form captures the kitchen, exhaust, air-conditioning, sliding door and laundry storage. Externally it accommodates the pizza oven and flue, wood stack and garden storage while also acting as a balustrade and overlooking screen at the roof terrace level. This project was designed in collaboration with Beatrix Rowe Interior Design with the overarching concept developed together at project inception. The input of the Builder and Bricklayer also greatly enriched the design outcome, particularly in the case of the feature brick form.
令人高兴的是，这个项目的限制条件主要限于ResCode的标准。 由于客户的预算和工程范围基本一致，挑战在于如何创造性地、毫不费力地应对对邻居的影响。 屋顶平台的解决方案就是一个很好的例子，一个由垂直钢制叶片组成的横幅屏幕随着俯瞰区域的需要从开放到不透明。 屏风本身和投下的阴影的效果是图形化的和令人着迷的，因为它在一天中的特征和强度发生了变化–就像房子的内部空间也是如此。
Happily, constraints for this project were mostly limited to the ResCode standards. With the Client’s budget and scope of works largely aligned, the challenges lay in the creative and effortless looking response to amenity impacts on neighbours. The resolution of the roof terrace is a good example of this, where a sweeping screen of vertical steel blades graduates from open to opaque as overlooking zones dictate. The effect of both the screen itself and the shadows cast is graphic and mesmerising as it changes in character and intensity over the course of the day – just as the internal spaces of the house do too.
