架构师提供的文本描述。扩建到现有的两层住宅，为一个有三个男孩的家庭提供了必要的额外居住空间。原来的结构与周围的财产几乎没有联系，在获得北光方面也存在缺陷。

Text description provided by the architects. This extension to an existing two storey dwelling provides essential additional living areas for a family with three young boys. The original structure made very little connection with the surrounding property and had deficiencies in access to northern light.

通过将立面戏剧性地推向街道，就有可能在街道层的一个大型车库上方纳入3间所需的卧室。为了把卧室和新的起居区分开，引入了一个朝北的庭院，这也为周围的Moonah森林提供了一个极好的前景。

By bringing the façade dramatically forward towards the street it was possible to incorporate the 3 required bedrooms above a large garage on street level. To separate the bedrooms from the new living area a north facing courtyard was introduced which also provides a terrific outlook towards the surroundingMoonah forest.

将住宅前部向前推进而形成的块状形式及其西方的方向，影响了一项设计决定，即在立面上创造一系列复杂的开口，让孩子们的卧室里有充足的自然光线。开口的组成旨在限制不受欢迎的西面阳光的流入，并提供与街道适当程度的视觉接触。橱柜的设计与外面复杂的窗户布置结合在一起，在每个卧室里创造了一种有趣的感觉。

The block type form established from bringing the front of the dwelling forward and its western orientation influenced a design decision to create a complex series of openings in the façade,allowing forplenty of natural light to the children’s bedrooms within. The composition of openings is designed to restrict the inflow of undesirable west sun and provides a suitable level of visual engagement with the street. The cabinetry design integrates with the complex window arrangement on the outside, creating a playful sense within each bedroom.

在新的工作中进行了现有的暗染西柏木覆层和阳极铝窗框的调色板，将原结构集成在所提出的设计中，但仍然提供了一种分离感。

The existing palette of dark stained western red cedar cladding and anodised aluminium window frames was carried through in the new work, integrating the original structure within the proposed design, but still providing a sense of separation.
