花园项目将悉尼市内一幢维多利亚时代末期的住宅改造成花园绿洲。Welsh+Major利用一个独立的未使用的花园,设计了一系列灵活的室内和室外空间,将房屋与周围环境融为一体。

The Garden Project transforms the site of a late Victorian home in inner-city Sydney into a garden oasis. Taking a stand-alone underused garden, Welsh+Major have designed a flexible series of indoor and outdoor spaces, integrating the house with its surroundings.

该项目是以花园为中心进行构思的。灵活的 “花园房间 “的设计模糊了花园和建筑之间的界限。它是一个郁郁葱葱的中央花园空间的书架,花园围绕并穿过结构。它是一个安静的房间,娱乐空间或额外的住宿。

The project is conceived with the garden at its centre. The flexible “garden room” is designed to blur the boundaries between garden and architecture. It bookends a lush central garden space with the garden flowing around and through the structure. It is a quiet room, entertaining space or extra accommodation.

建筑形式在场地内坐得很低,环绕着现有的树木,折叠到边界。模糊的混凝土屋顶线将人们的视线提升到远处的地区景观。屋顶折叠和漂浮,玩弄着封闭和轻盈的概念;坚实和透明。内部空间是可渗透的,由地板和天花板的平面而不是墙壁来定义。新作品中使用的坚固材料被设计成与花园本身的色泽一致。

The built forms sit low within the site, wrapping around existing trees and folding down to the boundary. A modulated concrete roofline lifts the gaze to district views beyond. The roof folds and floats, playing with ideas of enclosure and lightness; solidity and transparency. Internal spaces are permeable, defined by floor and ceiling planes rather than walls. Robust materials used in the new work are designed to take on the patina of the garden itself in time.

花园的结构是松散的,被设计为占据,而不是在院子的边缘。房子和花园房间周围的小型户外区域被回收,作为生活空间和绿色背景。花园连接了周围和内部的空间和形式–整合了场地,并将房子与周围环境联系起来。

The garden is loosely structured and designed to occupy, rather than edge, the yard. Small outdoor areas around the house and the garden room are reclaimed as both living spaces and green backdrops. The garden connects the spaces and forms around and within it – integrating the site and linking the house to its surroundings.
