架构师提供的文本描述。2004年，作为对地方当局ʼ要求的还击，我们在西部边界上表面上“装饰”了一大片墙，从我们客户的生活方式中提取了英国建筑公司(rad Architectureʼ)关于布里斯班街(Brisbane Street)扩建项目的概念。我们的设计反应是“重新定义边缘”，在移动中创造一个边界，在张力和压缩，不一定是直截了当和挑战传统的结构和容器。

Text description provided by the architects. Conceived in 2004 as a riposte to the Local Authorityʼs requirement that we superficially 'decorate' a large expanse of wall on the western boundary, rad architectureʼs concept for the Brisbane Street Additions was drawn from the lifestyle of our clients. Our design response was to “redefine the edge” to create a boundary on the move, in tension and compression, not necessarily straight and challenging the traditions of structure and container.

其结果是一系列的角度，非平行的原始混凝土面板危险地互相推拉，定义了外部外壳，这反过来定义了一个强烈的内部空间体验。有阴影的外部视图(和内部空间)是由一系列角度的开口构成的。

The result is a series of angled, non-parallel raw concrete panels dangerously pushing and pulling against each other to define the exterior shell that in turn defines an intense experience of interior spaces. Shaded exterior views (and interior spaces) are framed by a series of angled openings.

室内由地下室层一个泥土的睡眠空间和一个室外庭院/水疗中心组成；在顶层有一个虚幻的睡眠空间，可以俯瞰整个城市的屋顶，在明亮的西澳大利亚州蓝天的映衬下；以及中间的社交空间。住宅的社会空间由外向内再到外，从街道开始，延伸到一系列室内的家庭瞬间，以聚集、烹饪、进食和烧烤为高潮，以与半城市环境的视觉联系为主导。在这中间层，一个戏剧性的，灯笼般的钢和玻璃结构结合/分隔现有的房子，以新的补充。

The interior is composed of an earthy sleeping space on the basement level spilling out into an outdoor courtyard/spa; an ethereal sleeping space on the top level, overlooking rooftops to the city beyond against the bright blue Western Australian sky; and a social middle space in between. Social space of the house moves from exterior to interior to exterior again, beginning at the street and extending through a series of interior domestic moments culminating in gathering, cooking, eating and barbequing, dominated by the visual connection to the gritty semi-urban context. At this middle level, a dramatic, lantern-like steel and glass structure binds/separates the existing house to the new addition.

受创新和风险设计的启发，客户和rad架构在整个项目中密切合作。大部分施工是由客户ʼ与RAD架构和项目工程师密切协商进行的。混凝土、Corten钢和水磨石等耐用、低维护材料在提供长期经济优势的同时，也表现出相对原始的物质性。

Inspired by the innovative and risky design, the clients and rad architecture worked in close collaboration throughout the project. Much of the construction was undertaken by the clientʼs themselves in close consultation with rad architecture and the project engineers. Enduring, low maintenance materials such as concrete, Corten steel and terrazzo express a comparatively raw materiality throughout while affording long-term economic advantages.

设计倡议，包括材料的选择，有助于被动式太阳能设计原则的遮阳和热质量的冷却和加热建筑物。从屋顶收集的雨水被净化并储存为饮用水，而从水磨石铺的露台和庭院浴室收集的水被回收用于冲厕所。地板内供暖、低能电器和光伏电池减少了对环境的影响，而智能布线和精心设计的空间功能灵活性有助于建筑物的未来防伪、寿命和持续相关性。

Design initiatives, including material selections, contribute to passive solar design principles of shading and thermal mass for cooling and heating the building. Rainwater harvested from the roof is purified and stored for use as drinking water, while water collected from the terrazzo-paved terrace and courtyard bath is recycled for toilet flushing. In-floor room heating, low energy appliances and photo voltaic cells lessen the environmental impact, while smart wiring and deliberate functional flexibility of spaces contributes to future proofing, longevity and ongoing relevance of the building.
