这所房子的简介围绕着容纳一个家庭，包括3个孩子。提议包括3间新的卧室和活动空间，到后面的新一楼和正下方的一个大家庭/厨房区域。现有的房子包括一个新的主卧室/套房、书房和原来的大餐厅和休息区的维护。

The brief for the house revolved around accommodating a family, including 3 children. The proposal included 3 new bedrooms and activity space to the new first floor at the rear and a large family /kitchen area directly below. The existing house included a new master bedroom / ensuite, study and the maintenance of the original grand dining room and lounge areas.

这座房子的设计理念是为了在现有的内部和新的添加物、现有的外部形式和新的添加物之间找到一种兼容但又与众不同的关系。这是通过使用一种共同的实质性对比来实现的，即新的和旧的红砖之间的对比。倾斜的外部屋顶形式，一项严格的遗产准则的要求，被表达为“双尖顶”山墙，直接与现有房屋的双山谷臀部屋顶。外接木覆盖的雨幕被定义为三分之一的比例，直接与现有房屋的板砖屋顶保持一致。虽然在比例和对齐方面，新的外部和内部的简化抽象是相容的，但同时也暗示了一种新的关系，既与眼前的花园，也与更大的周边环境。

The idea of the house was organised around finding a compatible but distinctive relationship between the existing interior and the new addition and the existing external form and the new addition. This was achieved through the use of a common materiality contrasting black brick for the new against red brick in the old. The pitched external roof forms, a requirement of stringent Heritage guidelines, were expressed as “twin peaked” gable ends that aligned directly with the with the double valley hip roof of the existing house. The external timber clad rainscreen is defined as a one third proportion that aligns directly with the existing slate tiled roof of the existing house.  While compatible in terms of proportion and alignment the reductive abstraction of the new exterior and interior, suggests a new relationship to both the immediate garden and the greater surrounding context.

在内部，新增加的使用白色油漆木材衬板和暴露内部黑色工作，以定义一个新的家庭生活空间。通常与遗产屋外部相关的材料的使用表明，我们对室内的正常解读是一种倒置，这既令人惊讶，又令人安心，因为它的熟悉性令人感到欣慰。

Internally the new addition uses white painted timber lining boards and exposed internal black work to define a new family living space. The use of materials normally associated with the exterior of a Heritage house suggests an inversion of our normal reading of an interior that is both surprising and yet reassuring in terms of its familiarity.
