索恩伯里住宅是一个低成本、紧凑的家庭住宅，设置在一个安静的内郊环境中。该设计以其俏皮的屋顶形式为基础，参考了周围的环境，并在看似单层的住宅中伸展和拉动，以容纳一个双层的住宅。

The Thornbury House is a low cost, compact family home set within a quiet, inner-suburban context. The design is underpinned by its playful roof form which references its surrounding context and is stretched and pulled to accommodate a double story residence in what appears to be a single story dwelling.

该项目在整体表达和细节设计上都牢牢地嵌入了其环境的规模、材料和形式。该建筑参考并重新诠释了相邻房产的屋顶形式和轻质覆层。倾斜的屋顶形式可以立即识别为邻近屋顶的扭曲版本。相邻的房产采用覆盖条来掩盖覆层的接缝，而索恩伯里的房子则采用硬木条来掩盖覆层的接缝，并为立面增加纹理。其结果是，这栋房子既具有参考意义，又与普遍的街道特征不同。

The project is firmly embedded in the scale, materiality, and form of its context both in its overall expression and detailing. The building references and reinterprets the roof forms and lightweight cladding of adjoining properties. The pitched roof form is immediately recognizable as a distorted version of neighboring roofs. Where adjacent properties employ cover strips to conceal cladding joints, the Thornbury house utilizes hardwood battens that conceal joints in the cladding and add texture to the façade. The result is a house that is simultaneously referential and divergent from the prevailing street character.

在内部，该项目借鉴了庭院的类型，增强了房屋的环境性能，并确保所有居住空间都有充足的光线。通常用于容纳上层卧室的斜屋顶体量在居住区内部表现出来，为空间的规模提供了一个自由的转变，并在房屋的内部和外部表达之间保持了连续性。

Internally, the project draws on the courtyard typology which enhances the environmental performance of the house and ensures abundant light is delivered to all living spaces. The pitched roof volume which is generally utilized to accommodate upper-level bedrooms is expressed internally over the living area offering a liberating shift in the scale of the space and a continuity between the internal and external expression of the house.
