架构师提供的文本描述。哈默斯利路住宅是20世纪初澳大利亚工人的一座小屋，改造成一座实用的、现代的家庭住宅。现有房屋的外部木结构、模制石膏、手工瓷砖和法兰绒花玻璃，给家里带来了独特的艺术和工艺审美。这所房子多年未动。作为新的业主，作为一个建筑师和室内设计团队，我们希望为我们的家庭提供一个功能良好的家，现在和未来的灵活性。我们也希望尊重和提高现有的工艺。

Text description provided by the architects. The Hamersley Road Residence is the conversion of an early 1900’s Australian workers cottage to a practical, modern family residence. The external timberwork, moulded plaster, handmade tiles and flannel flower glass of the existing house give the home a distinct arts and crafts aesthetic. The house had been untouched for many years. As the new owners, and as an Architect and Interior Design team, we wished to provide a functional home for our family with flexibility for now and into the future. We also wished to respect and enhance the existing craftsmanship.

 Ground Floor Plan

当我们为我们的家庭设计一个家的时候，我们想要优化相对较小的场地面积的空间。我们能够通过使用“庭院”和“盒子”等纯粹的形式来做到这一点。

As we were designing a home for our family, we wanted to optimise the space of the relatively small site area. We were able to do this through the use of pure forms such as the 'courtyard' and the 'box'.

在现有住宅的后方，我们建造了一层延伸，包围了一个美化的庭院。将建筑分为两个边界，并将新的底层房间集中到庭院中，帮助创造了室内和室外的边界，然后模糊了室内和室外之间的界限。其意图是提供多个不同性质的空间，在一天和一年中的不同时间使用，有些在内部，有些在外部。

To the rear of the existing home we constructed a ground floor extension that envelopes a landscaped courtyard. Building to two boundaries and focusing the new ground floor rooms into the courtyard assisted in the creation and then blurring of the boundaries between indoor and outdoor. The intent was to provide multiple spaces of differing character, to be used at different times of the day and year, some inside and some outside.

上层的附加是从现有的房子的形式，采取一个纯粹的黄色‘盒子’的形式，轻轻放在底层的顶部，后面的山墙，现有的家园。然后，盒子被进一步包裹在一个穿孔的屏幕，以遮荫和保护它免受阳光。

The upper level addition is delineated from the existing house by taking the form of a pure yellow 'box' gently placed on top of the ground floor behind the gable of the existing home. The Box is then further wrapped in a perforated screen to shade and protect it from the sun.

“盒子”的概念是这栋房子设计中不可或缺的一部分。在内部，盒子是它自己的区域；卧室，浴室和玩耍的空间给孩子们。从外部看，盒子定义了扩展的特征，强调了从现有的房子到当代的家庭的变化，以一种同情和对比的方式。

The conception of the 'box' is integral to the design of this house. Internally, the box is its own zone; bedrooms, bathroom and play room for the children. Externally the box defines the character of the extension, highlighting the change from existing house to contemporary home in a sympathetic but contrasting manner.

复杂的图案和视觉渗透的屏幕包封了盒子的所有方面。这个图案是从原来的地毯和壁炉瓷砖的花纹图案中得到灵感的，尽管它具有当代的优势。这个屏幕提供视觉丰富性，阴影和保护开口，同时提供机会被动监视街道。晚上，屏幕被照亮，发光，为邻里提供了一个快乐的时刻。

The intricately patterned and visually permeable screen envelops the box on all sides. The pattern is inspired from the floral motif of the original carpet and fireplace tiles; although given a contemporary edge. This screen provides visual richness, shade and protection to openings whilst offering opportunities for passive surveillance of the street. At night, the screen is illuminated, glows and provides a moment of joy for the neighbourhood.

在整个设计过程中，我们重复使用和回收现有家园的元素，创造一个修复的故事。这包括回收砖，灯饰，甚至旧洗衣槽，这是一个欣欣向荣的草药花园。原来的天篷在现有的房子前面被复活，在“快乐”中的一件Dulux WeatherShield的外套，以匹配“盒子”。

Throughout the design process, we re-used and recycled elements of the existing home to create a story of restoration. This included recycling bricks, light fittings, and even the old laundry trough, which is now a thriving herb garden. The original tin awning on the front of the existing house was resurrected with a coat of Dulux Weathershield in ‘Happy’ to match the 'box'.

尽管90多年没有受到任何影响，现有的家园还是得到了拯救和复兴。房子的诚实价值得到了维护、延续和延伸到新的加法中，为现有的小屋注入了生机，创造了一个“幸福”和现代的家庭家园。

Despite being untouched for over 90 years, the existing home was rescued and rejuvenated. The honest values of the house have been maintained, continued and extended into the new addition, to breathe life into the existing cottage and to create a “happy” and contemporary family home.
