架构师提供的文本描述。汤姆·罗伯逊建筑师在墨尔本的后街改造了一座小型的文物工人小屋，把光线和音量带到这个曾经黑暗的地方。由此产生的形式创造了一种空间感和适应更现代的生活方式。

这栋房子自始至终都使用一种强烈的单色调色板，从新的大胆的锌面和里面的黑白厨房开始。内部感觉干净、平静，天然的木地板和醒目的楼梯提供了温暖和柔和。

The house uses a strong monochromatic palette throughout, starting at the new bold zinc façade and the black and white kitchen within. Internally, the feel is clean, calm, with the natural timber flooring and striking staircase providing warmth and softening.

为了克服场地的大小限制，已经建立了一个巨大的双高空间，允许光线涌入场地中心的开放式平面空间。在这个卷内挂起一个夹层，提供了一种微妙的私密逃逸。

To overcome the site’s size restrictions a grand double height space has been created, allowing light to flood into the open plan space at the centre of the site. A mezzanine is suspended within this volume, providing a subtle private escape.

与业主密切合作，设计了一个精致的厨房。这种精确的定制允许高功能和精致的美学。通过灰色的水磨石、脆的白瓷台面和大胆的黑色水龙头，控制色调继续进入整个房间。在步入式淋浴的正上方，一个超大的天窗可以看到非常受欢迎的天空景观。

A refined kitchen has been designed in close collaboration with the owners. This precise customisation allows for a highly functional and refined aesthetic. The controlled tones continue into the ensuite through grey terrazzo tilling, crisp white porcelain bench tops and bold black tap ware. Directly above the walk-in shower, an oversized skylight allows the much-welcomed sky views.

与一般的内部光色调形成鲜明对比的是，套餐的形式是包覆在黑色衬板上，并且很容易从周围的每一个空间中识别出来。

In bold contrast with the general internal light tones, the ensuite form is clad in black lining boards and is easily identifiable from each of the surrounding spaces.
