该地点位于一条绿树成荫的街道的一个角落。该地区很安静,在一个乡村小镇上也不会觉得不合适。最长的边界朝北,毗邻一个宽阔的草地自然带。

The site is on a corner in a leafy street. The area is quiet and would not feel out of place in a country town. The longest boundary faces north and abuts a generous grass nature strip.

通常情况下,原来的爱德华时代的木制房屋位于场地的角落。外围建筑被拆除,新的工程试图解决特权方向和提高入口顺序。

Typically the original timber Edwardian house was located towards the corner of the site. Out-buildings were removed and the new work sought to address privileged orientation and heighten the entry sequence.

原来的房子主要容纳家庭自己的空间;称之为私人空间。新建筑是在厨房和起居室之间进行日常生活的地方。这个公共区域建立了与北面草坪的直接联系。

The original house primarily accommodates the family’s own space; call it private. The new building is where day to day life is played out between kitchen and living. This public zone establishes a direct connection to the north lawn.

毛坯渲染的花园墙位于景观、雕塑和建筑之间。它既是花园边缘,也是入口墙。

The roughcast rendered garden wall sits somewhere between landscape, sculpture and building. It is both garden edge and entry wall.

在建筑中,有一个重点是纹理。白色的油漆将木材、钢铁、砖瓦和毛坯渲染的调色板简化为单纯的纹理。新的和旧的在这种方法中得到了统一。

Within the architecture there is a focus on texture. White paint reduces this palette of timber, steel, brickwork and roughcast render to texture alone. New and old are unified by this approach.

这里没有什么过于复杂的事情发生,尽管它是一个高度有组织的安排,使一切都在其位置上。这座房子被设计成家庭生活的一个美丽背景。

There is nothing overly complex going on here, although it is a highly organised arrangement that allows everything to be in its place. This house is designed to be a beautiful backdrop for family life.
