原来的房子在这个滨水遗址是一个双皮肤砖平房与沃伦一样的房间，很少与前滨连接。客户喜欢传统的细节，现有的房子，但希望最大化的方面和意见。

The original house on this waterfront site was a double-skin brick bungalow with warren-like rooms and little connection with the foreshore. The clients liked the traditional detailing of the existing house but wanted to maximise the aspect and views.

从哲学上讲，翻修比新建筑更可取，因此，设计的重点是新旧结构的融合。

Philosophically, a renovation was preferred to a new build and as a result, the focus of the design was on an amalgam of the old and new structures.

从形式上讲，这座房子由两个现存的街区和两个新的街区组成，由走廊、门厅和楼梯连接起来。现有的大楼包括两间砖砌和内衬的卧室、一间办公室和一间艺术装饰浴室。新的街区包含了在锌包覆的顶部空隙中的生活空间，以及在雪松屏蔽块中的主套间。这些位于较低层的基座上，设有客房、浴室、洗衣房和媒体室。

Formally the house comprises two exisiting and two new blocks, linked by the hallway, foyer and stairs. The existing blocks contain two brick-clad and lined bedrooms, an office and an original art deco bathroom. The new blocks contain the living spaces in a zinc-clad apexed void, and the master suite in a cedar-screened block. These sit on a lower level plinth, which houses a guest bedroom, bathroom, laundry and media room.

原来的砖块已被剥离回来，并漆成白色，作为旧房子重新呈现的一部分，并通过重新装修的室内门，双层玻璃现有的引灯窗和木材细节进一步加强。

The original brickwork has been stripped back and painted white as part of the re-presentation of the old house, and is further enhanced by the refinished interior doors, double-glazed existing lead-light windows and timber details.

这所房子是朝向视野和安排的，因此，在从街道进入，有一个自然的进展，从原来的房子，直到新的。从门厅，楼梯通向生活区，不对称的框架景观被展示出来。

The house is directed to the view and is arranged so that, on entry from the street, there is a natural progression from the original house through to the new. From the foyer, stairs lead down to the living areas, and the asymmetrically framed view is revealed.
