架构师提供的文本描述。这栋房子位于悉尼市郊的伯奇格罗夫，靠近海港。这所房子的最初部分是一座简单的木材风化板农舍。其基本原理是通过简化和最大限度地利用紧挨着邻居的户外体验来改善房子。

Text description provided by the architects. The house is located in the inner Sydney suburb of Birchgrove in close proximity to the harbour. The original section of the house is a simple timber weatherboard cottage. The rationale was to improve the house by simplification and maximise the outdoor experience on a tight site with neighbours in very close proximity.

一种解决方案是用一个完全可操作的立面来取代院子的所有上层外墙，当关闭时，它会模仿原来的小屋的天气板。主浴室(
)的主浴室溢出到上阳台上，门在墙洞内完全后退，创造了一种私人的户外浴室体验。

One solution was to replace all upper level external walls to the courtyard with a fully operable facade, when closed this emulates the weather boards of the original cottage.
The main bathroom spills out onto the upper balcony, the doors completely retreating within the wall cavity, creating a private outdoor bathroom experience.

楼梯被替换为一个新的拉长的楼梯脊梁沿南部边界连接这三个层次。细木工在楼梯下面和楼梯上包裹，用急需的存储空间填充洞室。
楼梯被光滑的混凝土灰泥墙所包围，它驱散了屋顶玻璃上的阴影和光线。

The stairs were replaced with a new elongated stair spine along the southern boundary connecting the three levels. Joinery wraps under and over the stair filling the cavities with much needed storage space.
The stairs are bounded by a smooth concrete stucco wall which disperses shadows and light from the glazed roof overhead.

材料的方法是开发一个能反映场地和起源的调色板。混凝土是指砂岩地基和边界挡土墙的坚固性。一个5.1米长的混凝土长凳末端是悬臂梁。这是重复在院子里作为一个长椅和烧烤柱。用材对比强化了农舍的主要结构材料和覆层材料，增强了农舍物质性的本质。

The approach to materials has been to develop a palette that is reflective of the site and origins. Concrete references the solidity of the sandstone footings and boundary retaining walls. A 5.1 metre long concrete bench terminates in an end cantilever. This is repeated in the courtyard as a bench seat and bbq plinth. The contrasting use of timber reinforces the primary structural and cladding material of the cottage, reinforcing the essence of the cottages’ materiality.

原来的前两间卧室保持了机智，而提醒的房子已经重组，以解决庭院和增加空间的感觉。在高层的窗户已经被扩大，以欣赏通过港口的前景，以图标c悉尼海港大桥。一楼的墙壁被拆除，取而代之的是滑动的玻璃面板系统。

The original front two bedroom remain in tact, while the reminder of the house has been reorganised to address the courtyard and increase the perception of space. On the upper level windows have been expanded to appreciate the the outlook across the harbour to the iconc Sydney Harbour Bridge. The walls on the ground floor were removed and replaced with a sliding glazed panel system.

三层楼梯的小水平轮班把厨房和主要的客厅和餐厅隔开了。从客厅到庭院的关系略有下降。细木工单元边缘这一过渡，加倍作为一个长椅在年级与庭院。餐厅的细木工通过材料的改变强化了这一基础，创造了一个水平的隔板，重新创造了一种宽敞的新的空间体验，并利用了它独特的位置。

A small level shift of three stairs demarcates the kitchen from the main living and dining rooms. The relationship from the living room to the courtyard is slightly sunken. A joinery unit edges this transition, doubling as a bench seat on grade with the courtyard. The dining room joinery reinforces this datum through a change in material creating a horizontal split.The reinvention creates a generous new spatial experience of the house and takes advantage of it’s unique location.
