架构师提供的文本描述。玩偶之家是一种提供灵活的、高度可持续的生活方式的想法，它能对环境做出反应，并能够适应家庭在漫长的生命中不断变化的需求。第一家名为Doll的房子，最初在1557年被称为“婴儿之家”，是当地创意人员和工匠展示他们的产品的橱窗。

Text description provided by the architects. Dolls House is an idea about providing flexible, highly sustainable living that is responsive to its context and able to adapt to the changing needs of a family over a long life-span. The first known Doll’s house, originally called a ‘baby house’ in 1557 was a showcase for local creatives and craftspeople to display their wares.

后来，“娃娃屋”成了孩子们玩的东西；一种想象力的空间。创意、工艺、游戏和想象力的共同理念支撑着这座房子，同时也反映了娃娃家的灵活性，在那里，一间卧室可以通过移动家具或细木工而成为客厅或餐厅。

The Dolls House later became a play thing for children; a space of imagination. Shared ideas of creativity, craftsmanship, play and imagination underpin this house, whilst also mirroring the flexibility of the Doll’s house where a bedroom can become a living room or dining room by simply moving furniture or joinery.

 Ground Floor Plan

新增加的大部分是由两个空间堆叠在一起，没有门或墙壁，只有家具和细木工分隔空间和暗示使用。这座房子的两层都被很清楚地对待了；下坡和地面都很低，而上面则在树梢上高耸入云。新的增加释放了旧房子的计划，在那里，以前的居住和就餐区已经成为一个灵活的缓冲空间，有一个艺术家工作室和游戏室，把创造力和游戏放在家庭的中心。

The new addition is largely made up of two spaces stacked upon each other, with no doors or walls, just furniture and joinery to divide space and imply use. The two levels of the house are treated quite distinctly; the lower sunk below grade and heavily grounded, whilst the upper is soaring into the treetops. The new addition frees up the plan of the old house where the former living and dining areas have become a flexible buffer space with an artist studio and playroom that place creativity and play at the centre of the home.

这里有一种怀旧的提法，指的是孩子简单地画出一栋最基本的房子，烟从烟囱里滚滚而出，这是一个充满快乐和满足的地方。门面是以儿童节目PlaySchool的开学学分为基础的，在那里，每个窗口都是不同的，并提供了一个通往其他世界的门户。房子的内部空间可以完全打开，延伸到外面的景观。材料是经过精心挑选的，因为它们能够展示一定程度的工艺；从超大的暴露木材横梁到手绘瓷砖的主人。

There is a nostalgic reference to the child’s simple drawing of a house in its most basic form, with smoke billowing out of the chimney, a place of happiness and content. The façade is based on the opening credits of the children’s program Playschool where every window is different and provides a portal into some other world. The interior space of the house can be fully opened and extended to the landscape beyond. Materials have been carefully chosen for their ability to demonstrate a level of craft; from oversized exposed timber beams to hand-painted tiles by the owner.

可持续地从基本原则中重新考虑这座房子；将一座通风良好、未隔热的木屋改造成一座未来表现良好的房子。房子是重新定位到北方，采用：完美的太阳能通道，R7绝缘织物，高度密封的包络，热质量，低VOC材料和良好的交叉通风。

Sustainably the house is rethought from first principles; transforming a drafty, uninsulated timber bungalow into a well-performing house of the future. The house is reorientated to the north and employs: perfect solar access, an R7 insulated fabric, highly sealed envelope, thermal mass, low VOC materials and excellent cross ventilation.

照明是定制设计和制造的低能量LED，完全集成到已建成的织物中。条纹外观是从斑马那里借来的，斑马是唯一生活在草原上的马类动物。当被热成像所捕捉到的斑马条纹在不同的颜色之间显示出很大的温差，在它们的身体上产生小的气流。

The lighting is custom designed and manufactured low-energy LED that is fully integrated into the built fabric.  The striped façade is borrowed from zebras, the only equine animal to live in the savannahs. When captured by thermal imaging, the zebra stripes show large temperature differential across the different colours, creating small currents of airflow across their bodies.

景观设计是实用的，而且在很大程度上是耐旱的，使用灰色的水再循环来浇灌果树，用一个地下的雨水水箱浇灌蔬菜。这里有野花、肉质和土生土长的植物和蔬菜，如西红柿、南瓜和豆类。前面的两个圆形混凝土播种机是重新使用的水箱，没有顶部和底部。

The landscaping is practical and largely drought tolerant, with the use of grey water re-cycling to water the fruit trees and an underground rain water tank to water the vegetables. There is a combination of wildflowers, Succulents and natives interspersed with edible plants and vegetables like tomatoes, pumpkins and beans. The two circular concrete planters out the front are re-purposed water tanks without the top and bottom.
