架构师提供的文本描述。该项目涉及对澳大利亚悉尼郊区巴尔曼(Balmain)的两座维多利亚时代工人小屋进行重大改造和增建。每一项财产都由同一家族的不同世代拥有，我们的反应调查了每一个家庭的相互联系和独立性。

Text description provided by the architects. The project involves significant alterations and additions to two existing Victorian-era workers cottages in the inner Sydney suburb of Balmain, Australia. Each of the properties are owned by different generations of the same family and our response investigated the interconnectedness and independence of each of these families.

在建筑上，这些建筑被发展成一系列精心展开的场景-就像中国传统园林的微型景观一样。整个空间被组织成一系列弯曲和倾斜的运动，仔细控制隐私，同时保持相互联系。一种空间的连续性感是通过一种逐渐演变的材料调色板来进一步发展的，这种材料可以交替使用木材和砖块。其结果是一种高度动感和适应性的体验；从相当沉思的空间到喜庆的公共空间，所有这些都包含在一个独特的“家庭身体”中，能够支持一个大家庭的现代复杂性。

Architecturally the buildings are developed as a sequence of carefully unfolding scenes – much like miniaturised landscapes of traditional Chinese gardens. Throughout spaces are organised into a series of bending and tilting movements that carefully control privacy whilst remaining interconnected. A sense of continuity between spaces is further developed by a gradually evolving palette of materials that alternates the uses of timber and brick. The result is a highly animated and adaptive range of experiences; from quite contemplative spaces to festive communal spaces, all contained within a singular ‘home-body’ that is capable of supporting the modern day complexities of a large family.

这一发展的重要性在于，它既实现了相邻物业之间的独立，又实现了相邻物业之间的互联互通。随着共享家庭数量的不断减少，而我们的城市也在不断密集，这一关系将变得越来越重要。

The importance of this development is that it achieves both an independence and interconnection between neighbouring properties, which as the number of shared households continue to decline whilst our cities continue to densify, is a relationship that will become increasingly important to achieve.
