架构师提供的文本描述。我们的项目简介是将19世纪末的一座四卧室别墅改造成一个更大、光线充足的家庭，在一个安静的、绿树成荫的乡村小镇上居住。要做到这一点，我们必须将现有的房子与花园连接起来，为当代生活创造一系列灵活的空间。

Text description provided by the architects. Our brief for the project was to transform a late 19th century heritage-listed four bedroom cottage in a quiet, leafy country town into a larger, light filled home for a growing family. To do that, we had to connect the existing house to the garden, creating a series of flexible spaces for contemporary living & entertaining.

增加了一个新的厨房/客厅/餐厅和共计165平方米的新户外起居室，并将现有的25平方米改建为二级客厅。我们最初的总体计划包括新展馆和对现有小屋的小干预，这实际上是第一阶段。目前正在设计第二阶段。这将重新配置现有的村舍内部，重新定位主卧室，并增加散步，长袍和套间。此外，还计划在这四间大卧室里增加一间书房，并建立储藏室。我们也在寻找方法来吸引光线进入老房子的部分。

A new kitchen/living/dining room and new outdoor living spaces totalling 165 sq metres were added, and an existing 25 sq metres converted into a secondary living room. Our initial masterplan included the new pavilion and minor intervention to the existing cottage which was effectively Stage 1. A second stage is currently being designed. This will reconfigure the existing cottage internally, relocating the master bedroom and adding a walk in robe and ensuite. There are also plans to add a study and create storage in the four large bedrooms. We are also looking at ways to draw light in to the old part of the house.

我们对这座房子的挑战之一是决定如何将建筑形式与后面的大花园连接起来。要做到这一点，我们必须处理现有的平房地板层和后院之间的重大水平变化，并研究如何体面地将一项重要的附加内容附加到所列的遗产村舍的背面。

One of our challenges with this house was deciding how to connect the built form to the large garden to the rear. To do that we had to deal with a significant level change between the existing cottage floor level and the back yard, and also work out how to respectfully hitch a major addition on to the back of the heritage listed cottage.

我们设想了新的延伸作为一个无耻的当代“讲台”，它将把建筑物固定在景观上，把小屋和花园连接起来，把室内和天空连接起来。这一地区的一个决定性特征是戏剧性的天空，它支配着你对景观的感知，所以我们用讲台的形式在地面平原和广袤的天空之间调解建造的形式，有效地利用建筑来加强这种联系。反过来，这使我们能够尊重老房子，基本上保持它的完整，并创造了两种建筑形式之间的明确区别。然后，作为统一的方法，我们在这两个元素之间创建了空间程序。

We conceived the new extension as an unashamedly contemporary ‘podium’ that would would anchor the building to the landscape, connecting the cottage to the garden, and the interiors to the sky. One of the defining characteristics of this region is the dramatic sky, which dominates your perception of the landscape, so we used the podium form to mediate the built form in between the ground plain and the vast sky, effectively using the architecture to intensify this connection. Inturn, this allowed us to respect the old house, essentially leaving it intact and creating a clear distinction between the two architectural forms. We then created spatial program between the two elements as the unification method.

入口门厅现在起着连接设备的作用-它以编程的方式将现有别墅内部的私人区域和公共空间分隔开来。我们将起居/就餐/厨房区域安排在一个大的环绕甲板上，将内部程序与花园连接起来。

The entry foyer now acts as that connecting device – it works programmatically for the house to separate the private areas, which are all at the front of the house within the existing cottage, and the public spaces – we arranged the living/dining/kitchen areas around a large wraparound deck which connects the internal program to the garden.

这是可取的保持整个房子的水平一致，以便它很容易居住，第二，这样的增加将坐在‘上方’的景观，提供视觉连接的景观和山丘以外的起居空间和甲板。这所房子所在的乡村小镇Armidale坐落在一个山谷里。你从房子后面看到的天空、树梢和山脉都是故意的，因为建筑物的高架和位置。

It was desirable to keep the levels consistent throughout the house so that it was easy to live in, and secondly, so that the addition would to sit ‘above’ the landscape, providing visual connection to the landscape and hills beyond from the living spaces and the deck. The rural town where the house is located, Armidale, sits in a valley. The sky, the treetops and the mountains you see from the rear part of the house is deliberate due to the way the building is elevated and sited.
