架构师提供的文本描述。为了应对郊区人口密度的增加，澳大利亚政府在十多年前制定了针对住宅项目的严格的城市规划指导方针。双重居住开发是在一分钟内插入现有房屋后院的新住宅。剩余面积300平方米。除了土地业权界线所受挫折所界定的规划限制外，建议必须是单层，为两个车位、户外休憩用地提供设施，以及避开现有无法兴建的污水渠和供水基础设施。总之，剩余的可建筑面积不超过140平方米。由于澳大利亚建筑的劳动力成本很高，而且为了合理的资本回报，最大限度和高效地使用该场地是不可避免的，也是强制性的。

Text description provided by the architects. In response to increasing population densities in the suburbs, the Australian government over 10 years ago introduced strict town planning guidelines specific to residential projects. Dual occupancy developments are new dwellings inserted into backyards of existing houses with a min. ‘leftover’ area of 300m2. In addition to planning constraints defined by setbacks from the title boundary, the proposal had to be single storey, provide facility for 2 car parking spaces, outdoor amenity areas and steer clear of existing unbuildable sewer and water supply infrastructure. In summary, the remaining buildable area translated to no more than 140m2. Due to the high labour cost of building in Australia and in the interest of reasonable return in capital; the maximum and efficient use of the site is inevitable and mandatory.

尽管网站的实用主义带来了挑战，但建筑意图仍然存在并推动着项目的发展。该地点是两侧的传统砖瓦单板住宅的所有方面，典型的澳大利亚郊区。现场的挑战推断出一座透明的建筑，其意图是一条清晰的视线会人为地扩大建筑物。通过拆除墙壁，这座建筑比实际情况更宽敞。它充满了光，它的透明度允许不断的一瞥和意想不到的视觉联系，从而鼓励身体接触。房间或空间的宽度保持在最小，以保持结构简单和节省成本。

Despite the challenge posed by the pragmatics of the site, the architectural intent had to remain and drive the project. The site is flanked on all sides of conventional brick veneer dwellings typical to most Australian suburbs. The challenges of the site extrapolated a transparent building, the intent being that a clear line of sight would artificially enlarge the building. By dissolving the walls, the building feels more expansive than it actually is. It is awash with light, the transparency allows for constant glimpses and unexpected visual connections thereby encouraging physical engagement. The widths of the room or spaces are kept to a minimum to keep the structure simple and save on costs.

没有一根钢梁或柱子。对洗衣室的研究在尺寸和顺序上都是必要的，这是由于这些房间的使用所特有的功能的语用学所必需的。因此，节省下来的钱被用于更好的漆面和环境可持续的功能，例如用于冲厕所的雨水收集、花园水龙头和更高质量的绝缘材料。所选择的外部包层不需要应用于表面处理。该研究的垂直槽窗是在现场发现和制作的一种剩馀木材结构构件。建筑物的遮阳模式被用作遮阳，而不是建造一个单独的屋顶覆盖。在双重占有开发中，有形的所有权界限往往是模糊的，私人、公共和共同财产开始和终止。

There is not a single steel beam or column. The study to the laundry flare out dimensionally and in sequence as deemed necessary by the pragmatics of functionality specific to the use of those rooms. Money saved were consequently spent on better finishes and environmentally sustainable features such as rainwater harvesting for toilet flushing, garden taps and higher quality insulation materials. The external cladding selected does not require an applied finish. The vertical slot window to the study is a leftover timber structural member found and fabricated onsite. The building’s overshadowing pattern is used as shade rather than constructing a separate roof covering. Often in dual occupancy developments, physical title boundaries are blurred, where private, public and common property begins and terminates.

众所周知的澳大利亚木材栅栏是庆祝的，这是一种材料，几乎每一个建筑类型在澳大利亚各地，并符合澳大利亚的方言。它抽象地应用于入口门，明确地划定了“私有”的起始位置，并提醒人们注意以前的情况。

The proverbial Australian timber paling fence is celebrated, a material used in practically every building typology throughout Australia and consistent with the Australian vernacular. It is abstractly applied to the entry door to explicitly delineate where 'private' begins and a reminder of what was previously there.
