架构师提供的文本描述。从街道上看，这一罕见而完整的街景-巴尔曼早期城市发展的一个例子-似乎没有什么改变。然而，进入室内，很明显的是，在这座19世纪50年代的露台上，一堆无情的附加物掩盖了悉尼沙石结构的自然美。

Text description provided by the architects. Looking from the street at this rare and intact streetscape, an example of early urban development in Balmain, it may appear that nothing has changed. Go inside, however, and it is apparent that an accumulation of unsympathetic additions had masked the natural beauty of the Sydney Sandstone structure in this 1850s terrace house.

我们的发言是振兴家园，同时尊重它的历史意义。

Our brief was to rejuvenate the home, while respecting its historic significance.

去除多余的材料，打开空间，在更多的光线下邀请是设计背后的驱动策略。我们把新天花板安放起来，让它从休息室向上延伸到以前的屋顶空间，并揭示砂岩中颜色的变化：由过去的空间配置所产生的光线和阴影的帕蒂纳(Patina)。

The process of removing excess material, opening up the spaces and inviting in more light was a driving strategy behind the design. We pitched the new ceiling so it reaches up over the lounge into the former roof space, and reveals changes of colour in the sandstone: the patina of light and shadow resulting from past spatial configurations.

在可能的情况下，现有的光圈已经被利用和庆祝：一个步骤，以符合前后方外观现在谈判之间的前和后方水平之间的短期下降。新的开口，高大的天窗在主浴室和休息室延伸到原来的山脊线，同时躲在街道上。

Where possible existing apertures have been utilised and celebrated: a step in line with the former rear facade now negotiates the short drop between front and rear levels. New openings, tall skylights over the main bathroom and lounge reach up to the original ridge line, while remaining hidden from the street.

滑动门可以溶解房间之间的墙壁，使它们能够扩展并提供灵活的使用。虽然悉尼的天际线可以透过一扇精心布置的卧室窗户看到。

Sliding doors dissolve walls between rooms, allowing them to expand and provide flexibility of uses. While views of the Sydney skyline are visible through a strategically placed bedroom window.

厚的砂岩柱提供了一个深入的门槛进入新的厨房和生活空间，同时谈到原来的村舍足迹。当你走过的时候，一个人可能会质疑以前居住者的生活。

Thick sandstone columns provide a deep threshold into new kitchen and living spaces while speaking to the original cottage footprint. As you walk through one can question the lives of former occupants.

大滑动玻璃门打开后花园景观：释放出以前过度的状态，以创造一个私人庭院和一个水平空间，以扩大。在这里，由当地打捞的砂岩组成的修复的砂岩墙上刻有罪犯凿子的痕迹。

Large sliding glass doors open to landscaping of the rear garden: released from a previously overgrown state to create a private courtyard and a level space to be expanded into. Here, a restored sandstone   wall, comprised of salvaged sandstone from the local area, bears the marks of convict chisels.

街面的修复工作给家带来了近邻所缺乏的活力和独创性，木门、百叶窗、栅栏和板岩屋顶瓷砖被重建成原来的样子。一个平静，温暖，坚固的材料调色板允许丰富的原始平房墙壁成为装饰在这个谦虚，但宽敞和灵活的家。

Restoration work to the street facade gives the home a vitality and originality that immediate neighbours lack, with timber doors, shutters, picket fences, and slate roof tiles reconstructed to their original form. A calm, warm, and robust material palette allows the richness of the original cottage walls to become the decoration in this modest, yet spacious and flexible home.
