 Floor Plan

在房子的前部，两间主要的卧室都保留了下来，两间房间之间有一件共用的长袍。浴室和厨房区域已经集中，允许起居空间向上面的花园空间和屋顶甲板开放。浴室上方是一个书房/卧室，对起居室开放，并提供进入屋顶存储空间的通道。保留了退役壁炉，以支撑露天屋顶结构，并为隐蔽的储藏室和酒窖提供空间。

At the front of the house the two main bedrooms have been retained with a shared robe dividing the rooms. Bathroom and Kitchens areas have been centralised allowing the Living spaces to open out to the garden space and roof deck above. Above the Bathroom is a study/bedroom that is open to the living areas and provides access to a storage space in the roof. The decommissioned fireplace has been retained to support the open roof structure and provide space for the concealed pantry and wine cellar.

当房子后面的双门打开时，客厅里的绿色地毯在视觉上与柔软茂密的草坪相连，减少了内外的定义。层次分明的材料和形式的调色板，特别是黑色木箱元素，创造了一种旅程和个性的感觉。

When the double doors at the rear of the house are open, the green carpet in the living room visually connects with the soft lush lawn diminishing the definition of inside and out. The layered palette of materials and forms, particularly the black timber box elements, creates a sense of journey and individuality.

雨水箱位于外部楼梯下，用于灌溉前面的有机菜园。在可能的情况下，所有新材料都在当地采购，并在施工过程中手工完成。现有房屋的所有窗户都用传统的吊带和高性能的玻璃进行了修补。

A rain water tank is located under the external stairs and is used for irrigation of the organic vegetable garden at the front. Where possible all new materials have been locally sourced and finished by hand during construction. All windows of the existing house have been reconditioned with traditional sash cords and high performance glazing.

房子周围是圆形的混凝土踏脚石铺筑成软草，创造了一个动态的景观环境。在入口处的房子，摊铺机是人口密集，提供了一个有趣的泡沫出现在房子里。

Surrounding the house are circular concrete stepping stone pavers set into soft grasses creating a dynamic landscape environment. At points of entry to the house the pavers are densely populated providing a playful representation of bubbles emerging from the house.
