“永不结束的”住宅

项目坐落在墨尔本一个受遗产保护的内城郊区，这是一个有“发现感”的家。设计一个家庭住宅是一项复杂的组合：房子应该是实用的，对环境敏感的，经济上负担得起的，并适合社区。一个家应该提供一个属于家庭的庇护，它应该是充满光和温暖的。这决定了选址、布局、房间比例以及通过开口、材料和细节来衔接建筑结构。

Nestled in a heritage protected inner-city suburb of Melbourne this is a home with a sense of discovery. Designing a family home can be a complex venture: a house should be functional, environmentally sensitive, affordable and a good fit into the neighbourhood. A home should provide shelter with a sense of space that is your own; it should be light filled and warm. This determines siting, layout, room proportions and the articulation of the building fabric through openings, materials and details.

项目是在一栋爱德华时代的风化板房后面进行的扩建，周边社区拥有历史悠久但多样化的建筑群。该区建筑密集、分散且不拘一格，为我们的设计提供了出发点和灵感。我们选择在整个场地的长度上延伸建筑，将其旋转45度，并将其拉开。这是一个有点出乎意料的设计手法，产生了一系列有趣的相互关联的空间，当你在房子里移动时，人们会有一种逐渐发现的体验。

This is an extension at the back of an Edwardian weatherboard house in a residential area with an historic but diverse building stock. The built neighbourhood is dense, fragmented and eclectic, providing starting point and inspiration for our design. We opted to stretch the building over the entire length of the site, rotated it 45 degrees and pulled it apart. A somewhat unexpected move, this generated an interesting sequence of interconnected spaces and an experience of gradual revelation as you move through the house.

抵达

建筑是为骑自行车到达而设计的。新的入口位于一个新的朝北的庭院外，将老房子和后方的新扩建部分分开，并提供一种到达感。它由三面墙组成，采用了三种不同的材料：老房子的耐候板，新房子的回收砖和木质屏风的链接。

Arrival

The house was designed for arriving by bicycle. Entry is now through a new north facing courtyard facing that separates the old house from the new extension at the rear and provides a sense of arrival. It is formed by three walls with three different materials: weatherboard of the old house, recycled brick of the new part and a link clad in a timber screen.

惊喜感

木材连接将住宅组织成旧的儿童区域和新部分的公共生活区。新建筑以45度角放置，使房间和户外空间产生了视线，创造了复杂性和深度。

The Unexpected

The timber link organises the home into children’s wing in the old and communal living areas in the new part. Placing the new buildings in a 45-degree angle generates vistas through rooms and outdoor spaces, creating complexity and depth.

向天空开放

由于俯视、建筑体量和遮挡，楼上区域往往会被忽视。在许多情况下，它们与附近的邻居关系甚微。这栋房子却恰恰相反：一楼的露台可以从休息室和书房进入，虽然私密，但却可以看到邻近建筑以及自己的视野。二楼的私人露台可以看到屋顶、城市和附近的山脉。

Open to The Sky

Upstairs areas in inner-city houses can often be neglected due to overlooking, building bulk and overshadowing. In many cases, they have very little relationship with the immediate neighbourhood. This house does the opposite: a first-floor patio accessible from the lounge and study is private but provides views of neighbouring buildings as well as your own. A private terrace on the second floor allows for views over rooftops, the city and the nearby mountains.

材料和细节

住宅的一个重要属性应该是热舒适性，如果用被动式的手段来实现，那就是最好的处理方法。该房屋的设计应用了被动式太阳能设计原则：太阳控制、分区和隔断、热质量、隔热和交叉通风。具有高度的隔热性能，采用了高性能的双层玻璃木门窗，并通过回收的砖块作为内墙，具有很高的热阻。电力由一个4.75千瓦的电网互动太阳能系统产生。该住宅不使用燃气，供暖和热水通过热泵产生，灶台是电磁炉。

Materials and Details

An important attribute of a home should be thermal comfort, which is most enjoyed when achieved with passive means. The design of this house applies passive solar design principles: solar control, zoning and compartmentalisation, thermal mass, insulation and cross ventilation. It is highly insulated, features high-performance double-glazed timber doors and windows and is high in thermal mass assisted by recycled bricks for internal walls. Power is generated with a 4.75 kW grid interactive photovoltaic system. The home does not use gas; heating and hot water are generated through a heat pump; the cooktop is induction.

总的来说，这是一个舒适的家庭住宅，从字面上看有很多层面。它不是一个单一的对象，而是被构思成一系列不同的空间和质感，让你体验房子就像一个可能永远不会结束的旅程。

Overall, this is a comfortable family home on literally many levels. Rather than being a single object it is conceived as a series of different spaces and textures that let you experience the house like a journey that may never end.
