架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目探索城市整合。我们的客户都是在维多利亚时代的大家庭里“游泳”的空巢者，他们在那里抚养孩子。虽然他们喜欢市中心的位置，拥有生活方式的机会和众多的便利设施，但他们渴望缩小规模，免除债务，并为老龄化进程带来的未来挑战做好准备。在探索了许多可能性之后，他们决定利用与他们目前的家相关的广阔的花园面积是更好的前进之道。无论在思想上还是在经济上，这都是有意义的，因此，漫长的过程开始了。

Text description provided by the architects. This project explores urban consolidation. Our clients were empty-nesters 'swimming' in the large Victorian home where they raised their children. Although they relished the inner-city location, with access to lifestyle opportunities and numerous amenities, they were eager to down-size, free themselves of debt and prepare for future challenges associated with the aging process. Having explored a number of possibilities they decided that utilizing the generous garden area associated with their current home was the preferred way forward. Both ideologically and financially it made sense and so the long process began.

在内城里士满的严格规划约束下，设计借鉴了街景在建筑线条和物质性方面的经验。窗户被精心布置，避免俯瞰相邻的房产，同时为居住者提供邻里景观的框架-厨房的街景，高层的MCG和城市，以及主要生活区的私人花园。坐在略低于后花园，舒适的客厅有一个悬挂壁炉，并提供与已建立的植被直接联系。物质性从客户对本地采购的秋砖的热爱中得到了灵感-调色板是由自然色调和纹理支撑的，充满了年龄和泥土的感觉。

Working within the tight planning constraints of inner city Richmond, the design draws on references from the immediate streetscape in the way of building lines and materiality. Windows are carefully located to avoid overlooking into adjoining properties, while providing occupants with framed views of the neighbourhood – the streetscape from the kitchen, the MCG and city from the upper level and the private garden from the main living area. Sitting slightly lower than the rear garden, the cosy living room features a suspended fireplace and provides direct connection with the established vegetation. The materiality took inspiration from the client’s love of locally sourced autumnal bricks – the palette is underpinned by natural tones and textures, imbued with a sense of age and earthiness.

致力于创造一个高水平的舒适的家，共享的汽车堆叠器在旧的和新的房子之间谨慎地坐着，一个小型的家用电梯确保了这三个级别之间的方便流通。这是一个勇敢地迎接我们在人口增长和城市扩张方面所面临的挑战的项目，它是市中心复兴的典范。

Committed to creating a home with a high level of amenity, a shared car stacker sits discretely between the old and the new premises and a small domestic lift ensures easy circulation between the three levels. It's a project that courageously embraces the challenges we face in relation to population growth and urban sprawl and it sits as an exemplar of inner city re-birth.
