架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目的灵感来自于思考这个家庭是如何生活和享受生活的。空间很好玩；构思起来更像当地最受欢迎的咖啡馆，而不是私人住宅，这反映了这家人想要建立一个家庭，让他们能够与朋友、家人和当地社区建立联系。

Text description provided by the architects. Inspiration for this project comes from thinking about how this family live and enjoy life. Spaces are playful; conceived more like a favourite local café than a private house, reflecting this family’s desire to create a home that allows them to connect with friends, family and their local community.

现有的加州Bungalow保持原封不动，增加了一个新的当代‘山墙类似’2层元素的后方。新的体积被移出边界，以打开生活空间对太阳，并连接厨房/餐厅空间与后花园。

The existing Californian Bungalow has been kept intact with the addition of a new contemporary ‘gable like’ 2 storey element to the rear. The new volume is shifted off the side boundary to open up the living spaces to the sun and to connect the kitchen/dining space to the rear garden.

异形混凝土已被用来形成一个大的表达垂直元素与基地与现场连接的重型基础。混凝土在内部也被用来为家庭生活创造完整的座椅、长椅和耐用的表面。浮在基座上的装饰木丝网填充了顶部挤压的山墙屋顶形式的末端，与混凝土形成了温暖的对比，其中包含了主卧室。屏幕上有棱角的面板在调节太阳和控制俯瞰邻居的同时，仍然提供对远处屋顶的远眺。

Off-form concrete has been used to form a heavy base with large expressed vertical elements connecting the base to the site. Concrete has also been used internally to create integrated seats, benches and durable surfaces for family life. Floating over the base, a decorative timber screen fills the end of the upper extruded gable roof form, giving warm contrast to the concrete and containing the main bedroom within. The angled panels of the screen mediate the sun and control overlooking to the neighbours, while still providing distant views over the rooftops beyond.

避免‘白色框背面’的翻新，这个项目试图创造亲密的，虽然连接，家庭空间。厨房/餐厅的空间向后院完全开放，感觉更像是在花园里的亭子里，而不是在房子的内部。黑色天花板和厨房细木工退居到背景中，现有房屋的异形混凝土表面和红砖赋予了外部耐久性的感觉。使用白板油漆可以把墙上漆成家庭布告板。黑色墙上亮霓虹灯标记的音符和列表增强了当地咖啡馆的感觉。设计元素鼓励社会互动和参与；室内室外壁炉，比萨饼烤箱和景观座位边缘。在可能的情况下，在设计中纳入了台阶和小座位，以提供非正式地点供坐和思考。

Avoiding the ‘white box on back’ renovation, this project attempts to create intimate though connected, family spaces. The kitchen/dining space opens fully to the backyard and feels more like being in a garden pavilion than the interior of a house. The black ceiling and kitchen joinery recede into the background with off-form concrete surfaces and red brick of the existing house giving a sense of external durability. The use of whiteboard paint turns a painted wall into a family noticeboard. Notes and lists in bright neon markers on the black wall enhance the feeling of a local café. Design elements encourage social interaction and engagement; the indoor outdoor fire place, pizza oven and landscape seat edges. Steps and small seats have been incorporated into the design wherever possible to provide informal spots to sit and reflect.

房子的后部被设计成另一个“前部”，有一个新的柔性工作室车库，这是这个项目的重要组成部分。从房子的角度来看，它提供了一个与后方巷道社区连接的机会，它需要被高架起来，超越典型的棚屋/车库反应。从车道通过演播室和车库的视野保持开放，能见度一直到房子。为了进一步加强连接，巷道混凝土座椅变成车库细木工和景观边缘。蓝石摊铺机也将青石鹅卵石扩展到网站。工作室的正面更像是店面，而不是车库。

The rear of the house has been designed as another ‘front’ with a new flexible studio garage an important part of the project. Viewed from the house and providing an opportunity to connect with the laneway community at the rear it needed to be elevated beyond the typical shed/ garage response. Views from the lane through the studio and garage are kept open with visibility all the way through to the house. To further reinforce the connection a laneway concrete seat becomes garage joinery and landscape edge. Bluestone pavers also extend the bluestone cobbles into the site. The studio frontage becomes more like shopfront than a garage.

这个项目被设计成坚固耐用，能承受家庭生活的冲击。虽然它不珍贵或微妙，但这并不意味着美和喜悦的想法是不重要的设计思想。在任何可能的情况下，都会融入惊喜和喜悦的时刻；混凝土细木工作为座椅和长凳卷成一体，浮动楼梯作为空间分隔器和书架，厨房细木工和套间瓷砖中出现黄色的“POP”，通往巷道的工作室办公桌，从木幕上点亮的光线，一个带有邻座的小巷道门廊，作为混凝土模板的可循环利用的篱笆护栏。这些是我们最喜欢的时刻。

This project has been designed to be robust and durable; to take the knocks of family life. Whilst it’s not precious or delicate, it didn’t mean that ideas of beauty and delight weren’t important to the design thinking. Moments of surprise and delight are incorporated wherever possible; concrete joinery as seat and bench rolled into one, the floating stair as spatial divider and bookshelf, ‘pops’ of yellow in the kitchen joinery and ensuite tiles, the studio desk opening to the laneway, dappled light from the timber screen, a small laneway porch with a neighbourhood seat, recycled fence palings as concrete formwork. These are some of our favourite moments.

社会可持续性也是一个重要的考虑因素；我们希望我们的项目能够对社区和生活在其中的社区作出积极贡献。后面的房子和工作室积极接触作为一个宝贵的街道地址的车道。工作室的空间不是背靠它面对的后巷，而是有一个完全可操作的窗户、书桌、邻里座位和一个小门廊，所有这些都能激活和连接公共空间。我们希望这种积极的风气有助于建立一个社会上可持续发展的社区，因为我们知道这最终将有助于这所房子和郊区成为一个快乐的生活场所。

Social sustainability has also been an important consideration; we look for ways our projects can make positive contributions to communities and those that live in them. The rear of the house and studio actively engage with the lane as a valued street address. Rather than turn its back on the rear laneway it faces, the studio space has a fully operable window, desk, neighbourhood seat and a small porch that all activate and connect with the communal public space. We hope this positive ethos contributes to a socially sustainable community, knowing that ultimately this will help this house and suburb be a happy place to live.
