历史线索是显而易见的，从街道上阅读与新的当代部分的房子，现在与老的交谈。新的是明确定义与现有通过应用色调对比。旧的被用单调的白色处理，而新的呈现在减轻木炭色调后面。

Historic threads are made evident and are read from the street with the new contemporary portions of the house, now in conversation with the old. The new is clearly defined against the existing through the application of tonal contrast. The old is treated in monotonic white, whilst the new presents itself in a relieving charcoal toning behind.

这种木炭底色延伸到整个新作品的内部提供一个帆布，其中活泼的原色是适用于整个。现在融合了，现有的和新的部分提供了非常不同的使用机会，小屋现有的较小的房间可以适当地容纳房子的卧室和公用空间，而新的；在两层楼以上；提供一个更加开放流动的空间，在视觉上相互联系，并有利于当代年轻家庭的需要。

This charcoal undertone extends throughout the interior of the new work providing a canvas, to which lively primary colours are applied throughout. Now fused, the existing and new portions of the house provide very different opportunities for use, the existing smaller rooms of the cottage serve appropriately to accommodate the bedroom and utility spaces of the house, whilst the new; over a two level rise; provide a more open flowing arrangement of space, visually interconnected and conducive to the needs of a contemporary young family.

花园空间和游泳池与房屋的结合是通过一个过渡的室外覆盖区域来实现的，这一区域贯穿两层，并被一个围起来的垂直木料填充的屏风隔开，这为户外活动提供了保护，并为进入室内的阳光提供了一个过滤器。

The integration of the garden spaces and pool with the house is achieved through a transitional outdoor covered area, extending through both levels and punctuated by an enclosing vertical timber battened screen, this offering protection from the elements for outdoor activity and a filter to sunlight entering the interior.
