架构师提供的文本描述。最小和原始，但纹理和欢迎，帕丁顿住宅是一种灵活性，空间和材料的探索。设计和为埃利沃建筑师的校长梅森考勒和他的家人，挑战是把一个严格的当代家园的历史街区。现有的400米场地带来了更多的挑战和机遇，包括一棵已有100年历史的保护无花果树、一条3米宽的巷道和一个陡峭的14度斜坡。除了简单地满足家庭的空间需求，设计是一个清晰和灵活的解决方案，创造简单、分层的空间，最大限度地利用自然光、微风和景观，同时也为居民提供充足的隐私。

Text description provided by the architects. Minimal and raw, yet textured and welcoming, thePaddington Residence is an exploration of flexibility, space, and materials. Designed by and for Ellivo Architects' Principal Mason Cowle and his family, the challenge was to bring a rigorously contemporary home to an historical neighborhood.  The existing 400-meter site presented additional challenges and opportunities including a 100-year-old protected fig tree, a 3-meter-wide laneway, and a steep 14-degree slope. Beyond simply satisfying the family’s spatial requirements, the design is a clear and flexible solution, creating simple, layered spaces that maximize natural light, breezes, and views while also providing ample privacy for the inhabitants.

家庭的一部分是由五个不同的空间组成的队伍，每个空间都有各自的功能，从无花果树到西方，城市的景色向东方无缝地过渡。空间从前面的入口甲板开始，由无花果树的树冠定义，通过双折门流入厨房空间。这些门然后打开到家庭的中心-一个惊人的双高餐饮量-枢纽和中心交汇点的住宅。接下来是更亲密的生活空间，它通过大而灵活的滑动玻璃门向主甲板开放和转换。从这里，家庭可以退到自己的私人空间。父母的套房形成了一个阁楼般的空间，面向城市，向下延伸到餐厅。相反，他们的青少年所在的地区可以俯瞰游泳池和当地的景色。

The parti for the home is a procession of 5 distinct spaces, each with their own function, seamlessly transitioning from the fig tree to the west and the views of the city to the east. The spaces begin with the front entry deck defined by the canopy of the fig tree, that flows to the kitchen space via bi-fold doors. These doors then open to the heart of the home - a stunning double height dining volume - the hub and central meeting point of the residence. Next is the more intimate volume of the living space which opens up and transforms via large, flexible, sliding glass doors to the main deck.  From here, the family can retreat to their own private spaces.  The parents’ suite forms a loft-like space looking towards the city and down into the dining space.  Conversely, their teenager’s area overlooks the pool and local views into the neighborhood.

居住空间的开放性允许居住者根据一年中的时间和一天中的时间来选择他们居住的区域。在温和的温度下，客厅和就餐区16米的滑动玻璃与主卧室的高水平百叶窗一起工作，让盛行的东南风穿过房间，提供交叉通风。滑动门和窗帘的多功能性还允许在完全隐私还是开放之间做出选择。

The open-planned nature of the living spaces allows the occupants to choose what areas they inhabit depending on time of the year and time of the day. During mild temps, 16 meters of sliding glass in the living and dining areas work in tandem with high level louvers in the master bedroom to draw the prevailing south-east breezes through the home providing cross ventilation.  The versatility of the sliding doors and curtains also allows the choice between complete privacy or openness.

整个房子的材料都是以原始和诚实的方式使用的。折叠的钢楼梯、手工制造的钢制扶手和光滑的混凝土地板说明了它们是如何制造的，并允许它们自然地经受住或生锈。

Materials throughout the house are used in a raw and honest way.  Folded steel staircases, handmade steel handrails, and burnished concrete floors illustrate how they were made and are allowed to naturally weather or rust.
