架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目是在死亡之门上彻底复兴小房子。除了在财务考虑范围内应用小型家庭的标准功能和美学要求外，还需要紧急的建筑CPR。尽管其他人有疑虑，但客户和项目团队认识到了一个机会，可以创造一个独特的家，拥抱这栋建筑的历史，并以兴奋的心情迎接明显的挑战。

Text description provided by the architects. The project was the complete revival of small home on death’s door. Other than applying the standard functional and aesthetic requirements of a small family within their financial considerations, urgent architectural CPR was required. Despite the misgivings of others, the clients’ and project team recognised an opportunity to create a unique home, embracing the history of the building and meeting the obvious challenges with excitement.

议会传统的覆盖意味着，建于19世纪50年代的原本严重破败的新加坡农舍预制板不能被“翻倒”(每一个冒险进入这所房子的人都会首先想到)；相反，它被亲切地保留了下来。对每个人来说，这一过程的乐趣之一就是了解它的过去生活，而我往往忽视了这一点，而不是有意地把注意力集中在一个项目的“新部分”上，在这个项目中，一座旧建筑得到翻新和扩建。该框架是用罗马数字标记的，使它能够在运输和交付后，在现场，并被拆除和搬迁，如果需要的话。里面和外面都有层层的建筑衬里，比如19世纪70年代的壁纸，瓦楞铁皮下的屋顶瓦，当它们被剥掉的时候，人们对这座建筑的实际使用有很多理论，比如一家普通商店，一家农民和旅行者的中途之家，或者可能是一家妓院，因为这一行业的历史就在它位于郊区的郊区。

The council Heritage Overlay meant that the original, severely dilapidated Singapore Cottage prefab, built in the 1850s could not be “bowled over” (the first thought of every person who ventured into the house); instead it was lovingly retained. Part of the enjoyment of the process for everyone involved was learning about its past life, something which I often ignored, not intentionally, by concentrating on the “new part” of a project where an old building is refurbished and extended. The framing was marked with Roman Numerals to enable it be put together after it being shipped and delivered on site and to be taken down and relocated if required. There were layers of building linings both inside and out such as wallpaper from the 1870s and roof shingles under the corrugated iron sheeting as they were peeled away There were many theories on what the building was actually used as many years ago, a general store, a halfway house for farmers and travellers or potentially a brothel due to this profession’s history in the suburb its located in.

 Floor Plan

第一项挑战是克服有限的场地面积-238平方米-以适应这一简短的要求，这需要一个开放式的计划-生活、就餐、厨房、脏兮兮的房间、浴室、洗衣室、主卧室、套间、长袍、第二和第三卧室以及一个室外区域。这是通过在“后院”周围建造一个“U”字形朝北完成的。材料和饰面被选择为硬磨损和免维护，忍受幼儿的热情创造力，同时对成年人的情感保持同情。该小组的目标是创造一个具有持久和经典特征的高度当代空间。

The first challenge was  to overcome the limited site size - 238m2 - in order to fit the brief, which called for an open plan living, dining, kitchen, rumpus room, bathroom, walk in pantry, walk in laundry, master bedroom, ensuite, walk in robe, 2nd and 3rd bedrooms and an outdoor area. This was accomplished by building around “the back yard” in a “U” shape facing north. Materials and finishes were selected to be hard-wearing and maintenance-free, to endure the enthusiastic creativity of young children, while remaining sympathetic to adult sensibilities. The group objective was to create a highly contemporary space with enduring and classic features.

一个被忽视和被普遍忽视的财产已经变成了一个聪明的，现代的家。这些空间结合了古典和现代的材料和饰面-比如干净的白色软木地板、白色丙烯酸长凳和白色配件-与那些不那么普遍、但同样吸引人的东西结合在一起，比如引人注目的橙色镶嵌橡胶地板、19世纪70年代最初的分层墙纸，以及乡村回收的送信木板。而不是创造不和谐，对比工作非常好地一起，形成了一个极简和简单的审美与控制对比的颜色和纹理。

A neglected and universally overlooked property has been transformed into a clever, modern home. The spaces combine both classic and modern materials and finishes - such as clean white cork flooring, white acrylic bench tops and white fittings - with less ubiquitous, yet equally appealing ones, like the striking orange, studded rubber flooring, original 1870s layered wallpaper , and rustic recycled messmate timber boards. Rather than create dissonance, the contrasts work extremely well together, forming a minimalistic and simple aesthetic with a controlled contrast of colour and texture.

这一过程产生了一个结果，在将原来的衰败建筑与已完成的项目进行比较之后，它既令人印象深刻，又令人惊讶；它干净而有趣，在保持其五颜六色的古物的同时也是进步的，而且考虑到场地的空间限制，它的功能非常好家庭有目的地突破界限；它是一个独特的家，但很容易被拥抱，而且没有约会的危险。

The process delivered an outcome that, after comparing the original decaying building with the completed project, is both impressive and surprising; It is clean yet interesting, preserves its colourful antiquity whilst being progressive, and functions incredibly well, considering the site’s spatial constraints. The home pushes boundaries with purpose; it is a unique home yet is very easy to embrace and is in no danger of dating.

在设计和文件编制过程中进行的大量讨论，包括实施具体的可持续选择，最终可归结为根据成本和性价比确定项目的优先次序，小项目的情况常常是如此。

The considerable discussions during the design and documentation process, which included the implementation of specific sustainable choices, ultimately came down to prioritising items based on cost and value for money, as is very often the case with smaller projects. 

考虑因素包括持久和持久的可持续材料。如软木和橡胶地板和再生木材覆层，使用水热和省略空调。规划和结构协调努力尽量减少使用钢，通过合理的跨度和悬臂有利于木材框架。但最终在可持续性方面最突出的是标准、良好的热被动设计技术在常识上的应用。

Considerations included long-lasting and durable sustainable materials. Such as cork and rubber flooring and recycled timber cladding, the use of hydronic heating and the omission of air conditioning. The planning and structural co-ordination endeavoured to minimise the use of steel, favouring timber framing through sensible spans and cantilevers. But ultimately what stood out in terms of sustainability, was the common sense application of standard, good thermally passive design techniques.

这个项目用客户喜欢回家的房子取代了一栋破旧不堪的建筑。外表的简单美学掩盖了背后令人兴奋的东西，引起了过路人的好奇，人们常常发现他们对历史的交融和充满兴趣的恢复感到惊奇。它又给了一所已经建了165年的房子一百年的时间。

The project replaces a sad, disintegrating building with a house that the clients love coming home to. The simple aesthetic of the façade concealing something exciting behind, generates a curiosity in passers-by, who are often found marvelling at its blend of history and restoration with interest. It has given another 100+ years to a house that has already done 165.
