作为一个现代文艺复兴时期的住宅，圣文森广场住宅是对古典参照物的重新诠释，具有现代感。客户作为一个赞助人，把他对建筑、艺术家和工匠的信念，通过把沉思的经验刻入物理形式，创造了一个超越表面处理的环境。
As a modern renaissance home, the St Vincents Place Residence is a reinterpretation of classical references with a modern sensibility. The client, as a patron, put his belief in architecture, artists, and artisans to create an environment that goes beyond surface treatments by inscribing contemplative experiences into the physical form.
新的扩建部分是历史意义和现代进步之间的文化桥梁，在一个遗产的外墙后面。设计反应考察了历史上的建筑和设计。它重新创造了原始的元素，扩大了实质的品质，灵感来自于那些被证明能跨越时间考验的元素。虽然该项目大部分是一个新的建筑，但它不会被立即识别出来。
The new extension is a cultural bridge between historical significance and modern progress behind a heritage façade. The design response examines the architecture and design throughout history. It recreates original elements that expand upon qualities of substance, inspired by those that are proven to span the test of time. Although the majority of the project is a new building, it is not immediately recognizable as such.
旧建筑的典型细节在原建筑的前部被重新诠释。这些细节包括弯曲的檐口、拱形的门和定制的钢窗，这些都不是现代建筑的典型方法，但在维多利亚式的正面感觉很舒服。与这些细节融为一体的是对特殊工艺水平的真实展示。
Details typical of older architecture were reinterpreted in the front section of the original building. These details included curved cornices, arched doors, and custom steel windows, none of which are typical in modern construction methodologies but feel at ease within the Victorian frontage. Integral to the details is an authentic demonstration of an exceptional level of craftsmanship.
即使是最小的细节，如手工制作的燕尾榫与木质踢脚线的连接，塞子的固定都值得深思。后面扩建部分的现代对应建筑使用了现浇混凝土、类似水磨石的地板、涂漆的木材天花板和青石墙，以创造一个与前面不同的点。取而代之的是鲜明的极简主义，古典的细节被换成了丰富的纹理，延续了整个房子的手工雕刻特征。
Even the smallest of details, like the handmade dovetail joints of the timber skirting with timber, plugged fixing are deserving of a moment’s reflection. The modern counterpart in the rear extension uses in-situ concrete, terrazzo-like stone floors, painted timber ceilings, and bluestone walls to create a point of difference from the front. In place of stark minimalism, the classical details are exchanged for rich textures continuing the hand-hewn character throughout the house.
建筑师策划的大量艺术收藏品探讨了哲学、文学、宗教、甚至科学等主题，这些主题引领着知识的讨论。这些序曲以艺术家Nathan Coley的三层灯光装置 “天堂是一个没有任何事情发生的地方”，或艺术家Berlinde De Bruyckere的蜡像Romeu “我的鹿 “的壁龛装置的形式写进墙壁。
The substantial art collection curated by the architect explores topics of philosophy, literature, religion, and even science, which lead the way to intellectual discourse. These overtures are written into the walls in the form of the three-story light installation ‘Heaven is a Place Where Nothing Ever Happens by artist Nathan Coley, or the niche installation of the wax sculpture Romeu ‘My Deer’ by artist Berlinde De Bruyckere.
与艺术收藏一样精心策划的是房子的内部。一个不拘一格的组合，涵盖了许多时代的不同文化参考。图书馆的定位是围绕着知识，将收藏的书籍放在宽大的书架上。这个房间的中心是一个用一立方米的休恩松为建筑师设计和制作的咖啡桌。
As carefully curated as the art collection, is the interior of the house. An eclectic mix covering diverse cultural references across many eras. The library is positioned around knowledge, encasing collections of books on expansive shelves. The centerpiece of this room is a coffee table designed and made for the architect from a cubic meter of Huon pine.
为这项工作从世界各地采购的独特复古作品有直接的历史参考价值。每件作品都增加了空间的对话，每件作品都有自己有趣的故事，关于它来自哪里或如何制造。许多作品都是由B.E建筑公司设计的定制作品，是专门为这个项目而委托的，将建筑细节的工匠精神推到家具中。
Unique vintage pieces sourced for the job from around the world have a direct historical reference. Individual pieces add to the dialogue of the space, each with its own interesting story about where it comes from or how it was made. Many of the pieces are bespoke commissions designed by B.E Architecture and commissioned expressly for this project, pushing the artisanal character of the architectural detailing into the furniture.
结合历史、艺术和文化，St Vincents Place住宅最终是一个重生的地方。在复兴一个特殊时期的住宅的同时，该住宅是一个更新的地方，提升了客户的生活质量。
Combining history, art, and culture, the St Vincents Place Residence is ultimately a place of rebirth. Whilst simultaneously reviving an exceptional period home, the residence is a place of renewal that elevates the quality of life for the client.
