北面面积241平方米，是一个高架三角形，需要特别敏感地处理高度、体积、阴影，以保持邻居的阳光、隐私和景观。

The 241-square metre north facing site, an elevated triangle, required particularly sensitive handling of height, volumes, overshadowing to maintain neighbours’ sunlight, privacy and views.

我们的中心想法是用一个连续的室内和室外空间来包裹原来工人的小屋，创造外部和内部之间的对话，让光线回到房子的最深处。

Our central idea was to wrap the original workers’ cottage with a continuous series of indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a dialogue between exterior and interiors, and letting light back into the deepest part of the house.

我们的另一个主要关切是尽量扩大家庭的隐私和空间/前景感，同时又不损害周围多个邻居的隐私。

Our other central concern was to maximize the family’s privacy and sense of space/outlook, without compromising the privacy of the multiple surrounding neighbours.

在空间上，我们最大限度地利用了街区的每一米空间，在花园空间和室内生活区之间建立了对话，创造了一个更大场地的假象。每个楼下的起居室-室内和外部-都“借用”对方的空间，以最大限度地扩大音量、光线和空气。

Spatially, we have used every single metre of the block to maximum advantage, setting up a dialogue between the garden space and the interior living areas to create the illusion of a bigger site.  Each downstairs living room – interior and exterior - ‘borrows’ space from the other, to maximize volume, light and air.

漂浮在地面之上的是一个雕刻的、多面的木材卷，包括主卧室、套间、图书馆/画廊和书房。楼上的空间经过精心设计和设计，以保护周围的景色和阳光，使房子对阳光和自然通风开放，并为花园景观和周围的小港和安扎克大桥景观提供景观。

Floating above the ground plane is a sculpted, faceted timber volume containing the main bedroom, ensuite, library/gallery and study.  The upstairs spaces have been carefully shaped and designed to preserve neighbouring views and sunshine, to open the house to sunlight and natural ventilation, and to provide views to garden vistas and the surrounding snippet harbour and Anzac Bridge views.

材料调色板是简单，自然和纹理与可持续性和减少能源使用的关键考虑因素。新房内设有自然通风系统，中央空隙上方使用温度控制的抽油器风扇。这一空隙也有大的无窗玻璃，使所有的热量能够迅速从房子排出炎热的夏夜。这所房子由一个加温系统提供服务，该系统将热水通过新段的平板输送到翻新后的现有小屋中的传统散热器中。

The material palette is simple, natural and textural with sustainability and reducing energy useage key considerations. A natural ventilation system is provided in the new house, using a temperature controlled extractor fan over the central void. This void also has large sashless windows that enable all the heat to be quickly expelled from the house on hot summer evenings.  The house is serviced by a hydronic heating system that runs the hot water through the slab in the new section and into traditional radiators in the renovated existing cottage.
