架构师提供的文本描述。改建和增加了一个小遗产列出木材村舍在内郊区墨尔本。规划和遗产要求以及建筑费用从根本上推动了这一项目的结果。我们的客户来找我们想要一栋新房子。由于只有地方当局知道和理解的原因，现有的村舍被认为具有一定的历史意义。我们不同意这一评估，但无济于事。这是当局和遗产专家一瘸一拐的面部表情。与其放弃我们的客户，我们同意从零开始，保留村舍的前面部分，并对它进行改造，然后在街区的后面建立一个完全独立的全新部分。我从不同的角度看了这个项目，并选择重新参观一些年轻建筑师给我灵感的项目-一夫一郎(KazuoShinohara)的“白屋”(House In White)和“花山的房子3”(House In Hanayama No 3)，以及安藤忠雄(Tadao Ando)的“住山县排屋”(Row House In Sumiyoshi)或有时“住友行屋”是一部天才作品，我曾在其他地方写过关于这座建筑的文章，把它描述为“二十世纪下半叶的一部开创性作品”。

Text description provided by the architects. Alterations and additions to a small heritage listed timber cottage in inner suburban Melbourne. Planning and heritage requirements and construction costs fundamentally drove the outcome of this project. Our client came to us wanting a new house. For reasons only known and understood by the local authorities the existing cottage was deemed to be of some historical significance. We disagreed with that assessment but to no avail. It was a case of limp-wristed facadism by the authorities and heritage 'experts'. Instead of abandoning our client we agreed to start from scratch, keeping the front section of the cottage and reworking it and then building a discrete fully new section at the rear of the block. I saw the project in a different light and chose to re-visit some projects that had inspired me as a young architect - Kazuo Shinohara's 'House in White' and 'House in Hanayama No 3' and Tadao Ando's 'Row House in Sumiyoshi' or 'Azuma House' as it is sometimes known. The 'Row House in Sumiyoshi' is a work of genius and I have written elsewhere about that building describing it as 'a seminal work of the second half of the twentieth century'.

简单地说，平房内部被改造成一个大教堂天花板，有一对支撑山脊梁的木柱和两门光炮，将光线指向拆除现有墙壁所形成的单一空间的中心。一个用混凝土墙围起来的小庭院把小屋和小房子隔开了，让人想起了这一过程中的“排屋”(Row House)。为了解决遮阳和俯瞰的问题，我们保持了加法高度低(3.0米整体)，并弥补了光线不足，我们用自动木材防晒霜制作了整个加成玻璃的屋顶。防晒霜保护居住者不受夏季阳光的影响，但可以通过各种方式配置，允许冬季阳光进入。当屏幕从内部操作时，建筑物的外观会发生变化。如果业主愿意，他们可以使用屋顶景观作为额外的户外生活区。

In simple terms the cottage interior is remodelled to have a cathedral ceiling with a pair of timber posts supporting the ridge beam and two light cannons directing light to the centre of the single space formed by the demolition of an existing wall. A small courtyard bound by concrete walls separates the cottage from the small addition, evoking the 'Row House' in the process. To address issues of overshadowing and overlooking we kept the height of the addition low (3.0m overall) and to compensate for a lack of light we made the roof of the entire addition glass with an automated timber sunscreen. The sunscreen protects the occupant from summer sun but can be configured in a variety of ways to allow the ingress of winter sun. As the screen is operated from inside the appearance of the building changes. If the owner so desires they can use the roofscape as an additional outdoor living area.

我们完成了这个项目的设计，同时也完成了RMIT设计中心的设计，这是一个尖锐的提醒：建筑的力量是独立于规模的。

We finished the design of this project at the same time that the RMIT design Hub was completed and it served as poignant reminder that the power of architecture is independent of scale.
