在建筑中被永远地美化了,在墨尔本北菲茨罗伊(Fitzroy North)的这个改造项目中,不起眼的老虎虾成了一个双管齐下的神物。

Glorified in architecture forever, the humble tiger prawn becomes a two-pronged deity for this Fitzroy North, Melbourne renovation.

现有的双层维多利亚式露台的人字形(几乎是扇形)棕色和金色的砖块立面被翻译和美化,形成了后方的扇形扩展,异想天开地在天空中画出一个坚固的轮廓。

The existing double storey Victorian Terrace’s zig-zag (almost scalloping) brown and gold brick façade was translated and embellished to form the scalloped extension to the rear, whimsically drawing a fortified silhouette in the sky.

这个城市的喜悦以一种新的方式接近当代生活的边界,倡导私人住宅的公民意识–迷人的正面和背面。

This urban delight approaches the perimeters of contemporary living in a fresh way by championing the civic mindedness of private dwellings – glamorous front AND back.

这可能是对原作的重新诠释,是对旧事物的诉说,但在所有方面都是新的。这座房子的传统别致的图案是用普通的砖头以一种非同寻常的方式铺设而成的。

It could be a reinterpretation of the original, something that speaks to the old but is in all ways new. The house’s heritage chic pattern was created using ordinary bricks laid in an extra-ordinary way.

我们的雕塑般复杂的几何形状也来自于巧妙铺设的标准砖块–斜眼砖、头砖和坎砖。沉重的垂直扇形姿态的俏皮性质不仅与正面一样接地气,而且利用它本身的坚固性和弧度来表达深度、浮雕感和深露的窗户来遮阳–诗意的和谐是最好的。

The sculptural complex geometry of our form is derived from standard bricks cleverly laid too – squint, header and cant bricks. The playful nature of the weighty vertical scallop gestures are not only as grounded and powerful as the front but use it’s own solidity and curvature to express depth, a sense of relief and deep reveal windows for shading – poetic harmony at its best.
