架构师提供的文本描述。一个最低限度的，但激进的建筑策略，改变了标志性的爱德华住宅在南罗斯代尔。由建筑师威廉·亚历山大·兰顿(William Alexander Langton)在1908年为埃莱诺街夫人设计的这座历史上指定的街道住宅的现代化面临的挑战，首先是一种简单的手术姿态，它打开了这一狭窄的正式计划，使之成为一个空间流动、光线充足的住宅，适合当代家庭生活。

Text description provided by the architects. A minimal yet radical architectural strategy transforms a landmark Edwardian residence in South Rosedale. The challenge of modernizing the historically designated Street House, designed by architect William Alexander Langton for Mrs. Elenor Street in 1908, began with a single surgical gesture that unlocks the constricted formal plan to become a spatially flowing, light-filled home, suited to contemporary family life.

作为对特殊的原始细节的回应，两种方法调和了旧的和新的：剪裁(旧的和新的并置并与锐利的划分形成对比)和共存(现代和历史细节的合并和共存，其中历史的优点需要尊敬的恢复)。

Responding to the exceptional original detailing, two methods reconcile old and new: shearing (where old and new are juxtaposed and contrasted with sharp delineation) and co-existence (merging and co-existence of modern and historic details where historic merit calls for respectful reinstatement).

Spatial Flow

房间和楼层之间的流畅连接是一种激进的外科平面测量策略的目标，它覆盖了一种划分的配置，其仆人宿舍和房子前后之间的正式划分仍然是另一个时代的遗迹。

Fluid connectivity between rooms and floors was the ambition of a radical, surgical planimetric strategy, which overwrites a compartmentalized configuration whose servants’ quarters and formal delineation between front and back of house remained vestiges of another era.

现代化的空间潜力的L形爱德华计划，这一转变打开了房子的背面，降低了地板水平，打开自己的看法，并连接到一个新的庭院。在里面，它引入了一个流体内部的空间流动连接更正式的西翼和日常东翼通过一个充满光线的画廊。白色楼梯的插入垂直连接，它的雕塑现代形式使用爱德华的开口和比例作为光源和箔。

Modernizing the spatial potential of an L-shaped Edwardian plan, the transformation opens the back of the house and lowers the floor level to unlock views back on itself and connect to a new courtyard. Within, it introduces a fluid interior spatial flow connecting the more formal west wing to the everyday east wing through a light-filled gallery. The insertion of a white stair connects vertically, its sculptural modern form using the Edwardian openings and proportions as light-source and foil.

剪切对比

Shearing and Contrast

中心外科手术是切除房子的外墙。这种锐利的轮廓使得坚固的铰接式砖块外观得以保留，而内部则成为还原剂，并将重点放在光、比例和体积的基本要素上。这种“剪裁”是通过新的砖块来表现出来的，它能视觉地分解烟囱和二楼梯，浮在原来和新之间的锋利的钢制线上。

The central surgical act is the excision of the exterior brick back wall of the house. This sharp delineation allows the robust articulated brick exterior to be retained, while the interior becomes reductionist and focuses on essential elements of light, proportion and volume. This ‘shearing off’ is expressed through new brick soffits that visually resolve chimney and second floor stair and float above the sharp steel line between original and new.

砖外墙的下部被超比例的釉面墙所取代，增强了与现场的连通性。一个新的混凝土基座创造了一个新的双面庭院，使室外空间与内部保持一致。在内部，尖锐的对比元素包括剃须刀薄铝鳍，从名义上通过修复的皇冠造型和壁板，以实现原始的全高度的开口，连接正式的房间的底层。

The lower part of brick exterior walls are replaced with super scaled glazed walls enhancing connectedness to the site. A new concrete plinth creates a new two-sided courtyard aligning the outdoor space with interiors. Within, sharply contrasting elements include razor thin-aluminum fins that notionally cut through restored crown moldings and wainscoting to achieve pristine full-height openings that connect the formal rooms of the ground floor.

选择性启示与共存

Selective Revelation and Co-Existence

整个房子，美丽的建筑层的原始结构显示，然后庆祝。该设计突出了房屋吉祥历史的表面记录，在过去和现在之间实现了一个轻盈、均衡的平衡。某些特征被剥离回光秃秃的砖块，留下过去的痕迹作为证据，这座建筑多年来一直受到关注和改造，每一代都为独特的历史增添了自己的一层。

Throughout the house, the beautifully constructed layers of the original structure are revealed then celebrated. The design articulates the surface record of the house’s auspicious history, to achieve a light-filled well-proportioned balance between past and present. Certain features are stripped back to bare brick, with traces of the past left behind as evidence the building has been cared for and adapted over the years, with each generation adding its own layer to a unique history.

最能体现这一点的是北廊墙，这是以前的开口和楼层中最平淡的一面。翻修留下了未碰过的砖龙骨口袋，一个千斤顶拱门，一个黑色的砖块丝弦，并暴露了较低价值的黄砖出土的原始墙。这种历史叙事被现代干预的更大范围的透明开放所冲淡。

Most expressive of this is the north gallery wall, a palimpsest of previous openings and floor levels. The renovation leaves untouched brick joist pockets, a jack arch, a black brick stringcourse, and exposes the lesser-valued yellow brick of an unearthed original wall. This historical narrative is washed in light by larger-scaled transparent openings of the modern intervention.
