索恩伯里之家回应了一个不断增长的家庭的需求，创造一个既亲密又宽敞的空间。客户要求从房子的正面进行改造，将其延伸到后部，以允许新的生活区和主卧室，同时保持尽可能大的后花园。
Thornbury House responds to the needs of a growing family to create a space that is both intimate and generous. The client required a renovation from the front of the house, which would extend to its rear to allow for new living areas and master bedroom, while maintaining as large a rear garden as possible.
该项目的设计集中在同时容纳长期访客和允许多样化活动的空间。这些优先事项以可持续性、成本效益和维护为指导。
The design of the project centred on the simultaneous accommodation of long-term visitors and spaces that allow for diverse activities. These priorities were guided by sustainability, cost-effectiveness and maintenance.
主要体量包括高度绝缘的轻质木结构，以及有限的钢元素。上层建筑的水泥板覆面因其最小化的维护效用而被选中，而Vic Ash木皮和软木构成了内部特征。
The main volumes comprise highly insulated, light-weight timber construction with limited steel elements. Cement sheet cladding to the upper storey’s exterior was chosen for its minimized maintenance utility, while Vic Ash timber veneer and cork compose the interior features.
除了隔热的板式水力盘管外，场地北面的玻璃通过优化的阳光穿透增强了底层楼板的热质量，从而温暖了起居室和用餐区。上层为折返式玻璃提供了一个屋檐，抵消了夏季的炎热阳光。
In addition to insulated in-slab hydronic coils, glazing to the site’s north enhances the thermal mass of the ground floor slab through optimised sun penetration, which warms the living and dining areas. The upper floor provides an eave to the folded back glazing, negating the hot summer sun.
双层高度的居住空间通过一个可操作的突出窗口，利用堆叠式通风，自然地将热空气抽出，使空间成为一个娱乐的空间。吊扇是可逆的，这有助于在较冷的月份将暖空气向下推，提供一种舒适感。
The double height of the living space makes use of stack ventilation through an operable highlight window that naturally draws hot air up and out, endorsing the space as one for entertaining. The ceiling fan is reversible, which helps push warm air down during the colder months, providing a sense of cosiness.
对于这个家庭来说，厨房是家庭的核心，它在房子里的位置突出了这一点。厨房的规划考虑到了大型烹饪活动，提供了宽敞的长凳空间和充足的空间供两个或更多人同时烹饪。浴室被设计成一个小型的休闲场所；有良好的自然光线，并通过木制家具提供温暖的环境。
For this family, the kitchen is very much the heart of the home, and its location in the house highlights this. The kitchen’s planning took into consideration big cooking sessions, providing generous bench space and ample room for two or more people to cook at the same time. The bathrooms are designed to be mini retreats; sheltered and private with good natural light, and warmth offered by way of timber joinery.
