这些客户想要的是一座新的当代住宅，这比他们那座破旧的红砖小屋更能利用他们现有的场地。客户拥有并经营一项模板业务，这反过来又为他们赢得了对混凝土的极大喜爱和赞赏，并希望他们的新房子贯穿其中。

The clients were after a new contemporary house that would make better use of their existing site than their tired, red brick cottage. The clients own and operate a formwork business, which in turn has garnered them a great love and appreciation for concrete and wanted their new house to feature this throughout.

由于过去与本局的角力和时间延误，客户要求我们采用“依从发展”审批制度加快审批程序，这要求楼宇必须符合严格标准，以确保快速审批程序。这一过程适用于新建房屋(最多两层楼)、翻新或扩建现有住宅、开发“奶奶公寓”、建造游泳池和甲板等。

Due to past struggles and time delays with Council, the clients requested we use the “Complying Development” approval system to expedite the process, which requires buildings to meet strict standards to ensure a fast tracked approvals process. The process applies to construction such as new homes (up to two storeys) renovations or extensions to an existing home, development of a 'granny flat', building a swimming pool and decks.

挑战在于设计一些相当现代的东西，包括简报中的所有项目(包括保留现有的池)，没有任何会使家庭不顺从的繁荣-所有这些都在一个中等大小的网站上。

The challenge lay in designing something quite contemporary, including all items of the brief (which included keeping the existing pool), without any flourishes that would make the home non-compliant – all on a modestly sized site.

一旦我们了解了“遵从开发”控件的确切参数，我们就致力于确保与现有池位置相关的室内和室外居住空间，因为这看起来既不可能，也不像附加功能。由于场地面积不大，我们设计了一种解决方案，使室内和室外区域能够无缝地工作-而且有了可伸缩的玻璃屋顶，这个空间可以全年作为内部居住空间的延伸。

Once we understood the exact parameters of the “Complying Development” controls, we then worked on ensuring the indoor and outdoor living spaces related well to the existing pool location, as this couldn’t look, nor function like an add-on. Due to the modest size of the site we devised the solution of enabling the indoor and outdoor areas to work seamlessly as one – and with the retractable glass roof, this space can be enjoyed as an extension of the internal living space year round.
