树屋的发展是为了回应一个忙碌家庭的母亲，她发现自己依赖轮椅，自己也越来越多地被限制在一个房间里。

The Tree House was developed in response to the mother of a busy family who in finding herself reliant on a wheelchair was also finding herself increasingly confined to a single room.

她的房子是一对二级小房子，上面列着1830年的砖织工小屋，作为GLC定居计划的一部分，在20世纪70年代，它们结合在一起。这两座小屋的底层房间在不同的层上，两间都在花园后面半层楼高的地方。

Her home is a pair of small grade II listed 1830’s brick weavers cottages, joined together in the 1970’s as part of the GLC homesteading scheme.  The ground floor rooms of the two cottages are on different levels and both a half storey above the garden behind.

这座花园是从混凝土柱上一个机会主义的脚手架走廊上走出来的-这是前业主、一名建筑商留下的遗产。从这里起，我们的客户会花时间从茂密的藤蔓下，从树木茂密的树木和充满鲜花的花园里往外看。这些花园都是靠南面连接的，周围的家庭也可以在这里进出。

The garden was reached via steps from an opportunistic scaffold verandah on chunky concrete columns - the legacy of the previous owner, a builder.  From here our client would spend time looking out from beneath leafy vines across the unruly tree and  flower filled  gardens, which due south all connected together with openings for neighbouring families to pop in and out.

我们的简介是寻找一种连接原来的底层房间的方法，并在底层提供一个新的主卧室和潮湿的房间，直接进入花园，同时保持现有家庭住宅的美妙的非正式性。我们希望可访问性要求成为一个积极的建筑驱动因素，使房子比以前更好。为了达到这个目的，我们把整个房子都围绕在花园周围。

Our brief was to find a way of connecting the original ground floor rooms and to provide a new master bedroom and wet room at ground floor with direct access to the garden whilst keeping the wonderful informality of the existing family home. We wanted the accessibility requirements to be a positive architectural driver making the house better than it had been previously. To this end we re-centred the whole house around the garden.

 Axonometric

树屋在树周围蜿蜒而下，自己挤进树旁，绕过位于中央的苏麦克，再呼气一次，在桉树下容纳一间宽敞的卧室和浴室。卧室面朝一层甲板，进入花园，它向后看，旧混凝土柱被重新用于支撑一个新的木框架琉璃阳台，这是两个现有底层房间之间的坡道，连接到树屋。现有的厨房、穿过房子的人，甚至是街外的人，都能从卧室里瞥见出来。走廊的深色木料画的框架在视觉上似乎退却了，人们可以通过它看到原来的棚屋后壁的砖块。

The tree house winds down around the trees, cinching itself in to get around the sumac which sits centrally and breathing out again to accommodate a generous bedroom and bathroom below the eucalyptus. The bedroom  faces onto a deck into the garden, it looks back to the house where the old concrete columns have been re-used to support a new timber framed glazed verandah, this ramps between the two existing ground floor rooms and connects to the tree house.  The existing kitchen, people moving through the house and even the street beyond are all glimpsed from the bedroom. The dark timber painted frame of the verandah seems to recede visually allowing one to see past it to the original brickwork of the cottages rear walls.

新的建筑是可逆的，符合上市的建筑同意书的要求，它是木结构在木材基础上，覆盖着回收的Jarrah浮雕。在内部，它只是详细的暴露木材托梁，软木木板和胶合板地板都漆成白色，以提供一个柔和的纹理背景，从内部的许多树木框架的看法。所有底层客房和花园都是轮椅专用的。玫瑰和茉莉花将被鼓励爬回木材，向南面对树房子的高度，它曾经是朝南的花园篱笆。

The new construction is reversible, meeting requirements for listed building consent, it is timber framed on timber foundations and clad in reclaimed Jarrah skimmings. Internally it is simply detailed with exposed timber joists, softwood boarding and plywood floor all painted white to provide a softly textured backdrop to the many framed views of trees from within. All ground floor rooms and the garden are fully wheelchair accessible. The roses and jasmine will be encouraged to climb back over the timber south facing elevation of the tree house as it once did the south facing garden fence.
