“住在里面的房子！”客户在早期阶段惊呼道。“有质感和温暖，有点怪诞-但没有特技可以约会。”

“A house for living in!” exclaimed the client in the early stages. “Textured and warm with a touch of whimsy – but no stunts that will date..”

考虑到这一点，我们与客户合作，为一所似乎毫不费力地展示自己的房子探索了简短的和站点的机会，这是一系列有意义的空间。

With this in mind we collaborated with the client to explore brief and site opportunities for a house that appears to reveal itself effortlessly, a series of spaces that feel meant to be.

设计理念反对增加第二层，利用场地的每一部分，在现有街道面向卧室的街道和后面的原车库之间缝一个新的单层延伸部分。需要容纳独特的艺术作品，结合机会，令人难忘的入门体验，框架意见和各种花园连接，以追求快乐，实用和令人惊讶的空间。

The design concept resisted the addition of a second storey, utilising every part of the site to stitch a new single storey extension in between existing street facing bedrooms and the original garage at the rear. The need to house unique artwork combined with opportunities for memorable entry experiences, framed views and varied garden connections in the pursuit for joyful, practical and surprising spaces.

一个新的屏蔽车摇篮和软化比例的保留正面，并成为不可或缺的抵达旅程，导致进入一个亲密的庭院在房子的中心。这个庭院不断地被重新体验-一个介于公共、家庭和私人区域之间的关键空间。

A new screened carport cradles and softens the proportions of the retained frontage and becomes integral to the arrival journey, leading to entry into an intimate courtyard at the centre of the house. This courtyard is continually re-experienced - a pivotal space between public, family and private areas.

东-西的画廊缓冲孩子的区域，从生活区，提供自然交叉通风和欢迎不同的自然光的质量在白天。房子的横截面不断压缩和扩大，因为它轻轻地梯田向下，与花园水平。可持续的被动性能是通过分区和定位，太阳能和20，000升水箱增加这些措施来优化的。

East-west orientated galleries buffer kid’s areas from living zones, provide natural cross ventilation and welcome differing qualities of natural light during the day. The cross section of the house continually compresses and expands as it gently terraces down the site, level with the garden. Sustainable passive performance is optimised through zoning and orientation, solar power and a 20,000L watertank add to these measures.

视图是故意的框架长的视线很少被用来提供更远的一瞥，保持着在到达时体验每一个空间的戏剧性。

Views are deliberately framed - blade walls are embraced to house artwork, direct and refrain from specific outlooks and provide a sense of enclosure. Long sightlines are sparingly used to provide only glimpses beyond, maintaining the drama of experiencing each space upon arrival.

这些小惊喜-黄铜、皮革、钢铁和发现的彩色宝石-都得到了考虑和珍惜。这所房子被拍照，因为它是生活在-充满家庭的“东西”从日常生活中展出，而不是为了躲藏。这个居住的画廊有着丰富而丰富的体验，不能仅仅用图画和照片来描述。

The little surprises – touches of brass, leather, steel and discovered gems of colour are both considered and cherished. The house is photographed as it is lived in – full of family “stuff” from daily life on display, not meant for hiding away. This gallery for living in has an abundant and experiential richness which cannot be fully described with drawings and photos alone
