架构师提供的文本描述。与心脏…相遇的房子

Text description provided by the architects. A House That Meets the Heart …

当你到达房子时，你通过一个正式的行人入口进入。除此之外，还有一座当代中国园林，它本身就是东方与西方相遇的一种有趣的表现。干涸河床上的一座桥指引你在后面的办公室。这间办公室可以容纳几个人，并有自己的浴室和小厨房。这允许将来用作额外的卧室或奶奶公寓。转售一直是一个重要的考虑因素，大多数空间的设计是灵活的使用。人们一致认为，房屋中最不可持续的事情之一是提前进行翻修。这座房子的设计考虑到了长远的眼光。

When you arrive at the house you enter via a formal pedestrian entry. Beyond that is a contemporary Chinese garden which in itself is a playful expression of east meeting west. A bridge over a dry riverbed directs you the office at the rear. The office can accommodate several people and has its own bathroom and kitchenette. This allows for future use as an additional bedroom or granny flat. Resale is always an important consideration and most of the spaces were designed to be flexible in use. It was agreed that one of the most unsustainable things in houses is doing premature renovations. This house was designed with long term vision in mind.

生活就是艺术。活在杰作里。

Life is Art. Live a Masterpiece.

房子的前面是一个朝北的大院子，为孩子们提供了一个很大的空间，让他们可以私下和安全地玩耍。它通向一个慷慨的双高前廊，然后引导你进入房子。前廊有一个暗抛光混凝土地板与密封胶，允许地板也是一个大黑板为儿童绘画。主要的居住空间与一套优质的商业等级的双折叠门打开在这个北部的院子，完全打开。内、前门廊和草坪之间的地板水平非常小，这进一步融合了内外。

At the front of the house is a large north facing yard which provides a great space for children to play privately and securely. It leads onto a generous double height front porch which then directs you into the house. The front porch has a dark polished concrete floor with a sealant that allows for the floor to also be a large blackboard for children to draw on. The main living space opens onto this northern yard with a set of quality commercial grade bi-fold doors which open completely. The floor level between the inside, front porch and lawn is very slight and this further blends the inside to the outside.

进入这所房子是通过一个大胡桃木板门，而不是前面的雕塑或挂在墙上的画，墙壁本身就是一件艺术品。这一做法在全家人的许多收藏品中都采用了这种方法。用于显示的对象被集成到体系结构中。例如，“星球大战”中的动作人物，就在墙上的个别展台上，这构成了墙壁纹理的一部分，使整个画面成为室内建筑中的一个特征。

Entry into the house is through a large walnut veneered door.  Instead of a sculpture ahead or painting hanging on the wall, the wall is in itself a piece of art. This approach was taken throughout the house with many of the family’s collections. The objects for display are integrated into the architecture. The Star Wars action figures for example, are on individual stands on a wall and this forms a part of the walls texture making the whole display a feature in the interior architecture.

底层的心脏由生活、餐饮和厨房组成。简要地说，这些领域被认为是家庭大部分时间在一起的地方，因此必须相互联系。它们主要由一个双面壁炉隔开，这是一个没有墙的明确定义的空间的例子。厨房位于三角形的西点，是一个控制塔，从那里可以看到大部分房子和外面的景观。

The heart of the ground floor is triangulated by the living, dining and kitchen spaces. These areas were considered in the brief to be where the family spend most of their time together and therefore had to be interconnected. They are separated primarily by a double sided fireplace, an example of clearly defined spaces without walls. The kitchen is positioned at the western point of the triangle and acts as a control tower from which most of the house and landscaping beyond can be overseen.

增强日常生活…

Enhancing Everyday Living…

在整个…中鼓励连接

Encouraging Connectivity throughout…

住宅与办公室之间由位于餐厅南端的一堵可操作的玻璃墙隔开。办公室里有一个地方可以容纳一辆经典汽车。餐厅位于垂直走廊的底部，通过向上看，人们就能理解为什么房子里充满了光线。光线从多个窗口渗透到大部分区域。白天不需要人工照明，晚上的照明几乎是100%的LED。餐厅被战略性地放置在家庭的中心，上面有很大的空隙，以增强神圣性的感觉，这代表了家庭如何看待每天在一起吃饭的时间。

The residence is separated from the office by an operable glass wall located at the southern end of the dining room. Within the office is a space for one of the classic cars. The dining room is at the bottom of the vertical corridor and by looking upwards one understands why the house is so light filled. Light penetrates in most areas from multiple windows. No artificial light is required throughout the day and at night the house’s lighting is almost 100% LED. The dining room is strategically placed in the centre of the home and with a large void above it to enhance the feeling of sacredness, representing how the family regard meal times spent together daily.

该网站并非没有挑战。我们保留上一个1940年住宅的某些元素，是为了节省成本，并考虑到所体现的能量和情感价值。这些领域包括：

The site was not without its challenges. Certain elements of the previous 1940’s residence we retained for cost saving reasons and in consideration of embodied energy and sentimental value. These areas included:

-几年前翻修的现有主卧室和套间

– The existing master bedroom and ensuite which had been renovated several years prior

-一条黄砖隧道，现在有一幅由业主画的壁画

– A yellow brick tunnel which now has a mural painted by the owner

-前栅栏

– The front fence

-后院

– The rear yard

-一个4辆汽车的大锡棚

– A large 4 car tin shed

结果是一个房子，由28个相互连接的空间组成，展开超过10个微妙的水平变化。该设计的关键是一个多用途的垂直走廊，作为一个热烟囱。它还允许许多内部意见和景观，这是必不可少的房子连接。光线也可以透过空间，让北方的阳光穿透房屋最深处。

The result was a house that consisted of 28 interconnected spaces unfolding over 10 subtle level changes. The key to the design is a multi-purpose vertical corridor which acts as a thermal chimney. It also allows for many internal views and vistas which are integral to the houses connectivity. Light can also penetrate through the space, allowing the Northern sunlight to penetrate to the deepest parts of the house.
