架构师提供的文本描述。这一项目的概念框架在很大程度上受到其背景的影响。狭长的场地紧靠西南的住宅单元和北面的钢琴厂仓库公寓。西部和东部分别为古树和绿色街景提供框架景观。

Text description provided by the architects. The conceptual framework for this project is very much influenced by its context. The long narrow site is closely bounded by residential units to the south-west and the Piano Factory warehouse apartment conversion to the north. The west and east offer framed views to established trees and green streetscape respectively.

考虑到这些问题，新的附加物附在露台的后面，沿着场地的长度展开，新的楼层与自然地形相对应，形成了一系列的分裂层和口袋庭院，其背景是北边8米高的阶梯钢琴厂遗产墙。

Taking these issues into consideration, the new additions attach to the rear of the terrace and unfold along the length of the site, with new floor levels corresponding to the natural topography, resulting in a series of split levels and pocket courtyards with the eight-metre high stepped Piano Factory heritage wall along the northern boundary as their backdrop.

由于钢琴厂砖墙的存在，影响了工程材料的选择和成品的完成。现有的油漆砌体被剥离回来，以暴露砂岩砖和压缩纤维水泥板覆盖留下了生。新的灰烬渲染也留下未油漆，金属屋顶薄板是镀锌的，并留下天气和随着年龄增长的髌骨。炼钢是涂上牛血的红色，让人联想到原始的炼钢底漆，同时也参考了传统调色板。

The selection of materials and finishes for the project were influenced by the strong presence of the Piano Factory brick wall. Existing painted masonry was stripped back to expose sandstock brickwork and compressed fibre cement sheet cladding was left raw. New ashlar render is also left unpainted, metal roof sheeting is galvanised and left to weather and patina with age. Steelwork is painted an ox-blood red colour, reminiscent of raw steelwork primer but also referencing a heritage palette.

该项目为探索更新内城两层露台房屋的替代模式提供了机会。场地所提供的限制和机会、简短的和议会的规划控制措施产生了一个独特的房子，它与它的场地有着深刻的联系，最终是一个非常实用和舒适的家。

The project has provided an opportunity to explore an alternative model for updating the inner-city two-storey terrace house. The constraints and opportunities provided by the site, the brief and council planning controls have generated a unique house which has a deep connection to its site and is ultimately a very functional and comfortable home.

作为一个家庭，客户总是生活在黑暗，封闭的市中心露台。这一新物业的改建和增加使他们能够享受到一种更加明亮、开放式的居住安排，在那里花园是家庭使用方式的组成部分。

As a family, the clients have always lived in dark, enclosed inner-city terraces. The alterations and additions to this new property have allowed them to enjoy a much more light-filled, open plan living arrangement where the garden is integral to the way the home is used.

浓密的阴影让我们有机会探索不同的釉面元素的使用。翻转正常的惯例，打开的窗户是实心的面板，墙壁是透明的玻璃，提供了一个与庭院的视觉连接。太阳控制的天窗沿着房子的南边全年捕捉日光。在主庭院旁边的玻璃走廊捕捉冬天的阳光，并成为一个辐射散热器为其余的房子。主卧室角度远离南部边界，以尽量减少阴影对相邻的物业，同时也增加隐私和减少俯瞰问题。

The heavily shaded site gave the opportunity to explore the use of glazed elements differently. Inverting normal conventions, opening windows are solid panels and walls are clear glass, providing a visual connection to the courtyards. Sun-controlled skylights along the southern edge of the house capture daylight throughout the year. The glazed gallery hallway beside the main courtyard captures the winter sun and becomes a radiant heat sink for the rest of the house. The main bedroom angles away from the southern boundary to minimise overshadowing onto adjacent properties while also increases privacy and reducing overlooking issues.

简报呼吁将睡眠和生活区分开，并划定“成人”和“玩耍”区域。为室内和室外生活创造机会也是一个重要的问题。

The brief called for a separation of sleeping and living areas and also a delineation of 'grown-up' and 'play' areas. Creating opportunities for indoor-outdoor living was also an important issue.

所有的睡眠区域都包含在房子现有的2层露台内。起居区被划分和连接在一起的口袋庭院，使这些地区尽可能多的整合或分离的要求。

All sleeping areas are contained within the existing 2-storey terrace part of the house. The living areas are divided and linked together by the pocket courtyards which enable as much integration or separation of these areas as required.

对现有住宅进行负责任的适应性再利用。我们选择不对现有的露台进行重大的内部改造。使用现场回收的材料。安装地面雨水和雨水储罐。外部阳光控制所有的玻璃元素。新楼层的热质量。

Responsible adaptive re-use of an existing dwelling. We chose not to make major internal alterations to the existing terrace. Use of recycled material from the site. Installation of in-ground stormwater and rainwater tanks. External sun control to all glazing elements. Thermal mass in the new floors.

与邻近的钢琴厂文物墙发展紧密的关系是这个项目的主要设计机会。房子对墙壁的重要性和巨大性做出了反应，恭敬地将它整合到现场。负责现有露台房屋的适应性再利用。我们选择不对现有的露台进行重大的内部改造，这对于将睡眠区规划成现有的房间非常有用。露台屋的原始外观特征得到了恢复，以符合街景的特点。

Developing strong relationship to the neighbouring Piano Factory Heritage wall was a major design opportunity for this project. The house responds to the materiality and immensity of the wall by respectfully integrating it into the site. Responsible adaptive re-use of the existing terrace house. We chose not to make major internal alterations to the existing terrace which was useful for programming the sleeping areas into the existing rooms. Original exterior features of the terrace house was restored in keeping with the character of the immediate streetscape.
