Zig Zag House呈现了新旧之间的大胆对话，其出乎意料的位置设置在悉尼东郊的Kensington。客户正在返回他们的老家，希望住在一个独特的环境中，在其他邻近的联邦平房中提供一个独特的建筑体验。
Zig Zag House presents an audacious conversation between the old and the new, with its unexpected location set within Sydney’s eastern suburb of Kensington. The clients were returning to their old family home and desired to live in a unique setting that offered a singular architectural experience amongst the other neighboring Federation bungalows.
正如它的名字所表示的，复杂的屋顶设计已经被打褶，并像协奏曲一样制作，创造了一个大胆的形式，其结构借用了遮阳的棕榈叶。屋顶也隐喻着漂浮在水路之上，水路从工地流向百年纪念公园和Botany海湾。大胆的是，它呈现了住宅的新部分，延伸了现有的联邦别墅，连接了住宅的生活、餐饮和厨房空间。无缝地，悬挑已经与原来屋顶的线性天花板平面连接起来。 为了应对理论上的1:200年一遇的洪水，在后部露台的设计中加入了一个有趣的 “码头”。
As its name denotes, the complex roof design has been pleated and crafted like a concertina, creating a bold form that borrows its structure from a shade-giving palm leaf. The roof also metaphorically floats above the waterway which flows from the site and into Centennial Park and Botany Bay. Daringly, it presents the new part of the home that extends the existing Federation cottage, connecting the living, dining, and kitchen spaces of the home. Seamlessly, the overhang has been joined to the linear ceiling plane from the original roof. Playfully a ‘Jetty’ has been included in the design of the rear terrace in response to the theoretical 1:200-year flood levels.
楼梯是住宅的脊柱，是一个放纵的特征，它恰到好处地利用了场地的规模和倾斜的性质，作为这个不朽的建筑中的焦点之一吸引了人们的注意。庄严的是，它为住宅内的新旧空间提供了一个连接和过渡，色彩斑斓的叶片柱为朴素的构图增添了一些特色。
The staircase which is the spine of the home is an indulgent feature that opportunely draws from the scale and the sloping nature of the site, attracting attention as one of the focal points within this monumental building. Majestically it offers a connection and a transition between the old and new spaces within the home, with the colorful blade column adding some character to the austere composition.
内部布局是围绕着客户的艺术品和纪念品的收藏而安排的，精心编排了照明来照亮这些作品。
The internal layout is orchestrated around the client’s collection of artworks and keepsakes, meticulously choreographing the lighting to illuminate these pieces.
使用标准的材料，一个受控的调色板已经被应用到新增加的部分，但以一种独特的方式处理，使其以一种新的形式被看到。显而易见，这可以在石膏板上找到，石膏板被贴上胶带并设置成人字形图案，俄勒冈州的木材混凝土，以前的BC层，以及应用在刀柱上的威尼斯石膏。这种特殊的工艺以一种独特的方式展示了这些材料，形成了房屋的独特特征。
Using standard materials, a controlled palette has been applied to the new addition yet treated in a unique way that renders it to be seen in a new form. Evidently, this can be found in the plasterboard that has been taped and set to create the zig zag pattern, the Oregon timber concrete, the BC ply formerly, as well as the Venetian plaster applied to the blade column. This particular craftsmanship showcases the materials in an exclusive way that forms the unique character of the home.
