架构师提供的文本描述。在过去的一个世纪里，这座房子进行了一系列的翻修；最初的爱德华式住宅在20世纪30年代被改造成公寓，到了20世纪80年代，又变成了一座重要的家庭住宅。我们的简介是恢复艺术装饰外观，保留现有足迹，并增加第三个层次。

Text description provided by the architects. This home has had a series of renovations over the past century; the original Edwardian home was converted into apartments in the 1930s and then a substantial family home in the 1980’s. Our brief was to restore the Art Deco facade, retain the existing footprint and add a third level.

这座房子坐落在中央公园海滩的正对面，经常充满美丽的灯光。清晨的阳光照在花园里，一天结束时，太阳就落在海湾的另一边。

The house is located directly opposite the beach in Middle Park and is constantly filled with beautiful light. Morning sun strikes the garden aspect, and at the end of the day the sun sets across the bay.

我们很幸运，在设计过程中有机会在房子里住了一年。这一经历启发了我们设计一系列平静的空间，这些空间将与光线结合在一起。

We were fortunate and had the opportunity to live in the house for a year during the design process. This experience inspired us to design a series of calm spaces which would be articulated with light.

该计划已被仔细考虑，以创建一系列独特的房间，而不是一个开放的计划。细木工是用来创造空间的，但仍然允许视野从一个房间流向另一个房间，然后进入地平线。

The planning has been carefully considered to create a series of distinct rooms, rather than an open plan. Joinery is placed to create spaces, but still allow views to flow from room to room and then to the horizon.

材料已被选择，以提供中性色调色板内的低调音调。中性色调色板在一天中的不同时间支持光的播放。整体感觉非常柔软，一个人在视觉和情感上一直与广阔的海洋、天空和花园的景色联系在一起。同时，房子里也有一种亲密的感觉。

Materials have been selected to provide understated tones within a neutral palette. The neutral colour palette supports the play of light at different times of day. The overall feeling is extremely soft and one feels visually and emotionally connected at all times to the expansive sea, sky and garden views. At the same time the house has a feeling of intimacy & warmth, perfect for family living.

我们客户的初衷是拆除现有的房屋，建造一座全新的建筑。在房子里住了一年之后，我们认为现有的建筑与风景和光线配合得很好，并且有着鲜明的“个性”。总之，拆毁一座已经建了100年的房子是一件令人遗憾的事。

Our client’s original intention was to demolish the existing house and build a completely new structure. After living in the house for a year, we thought the existing building worked well with the views and light and had a distinct ‘personality’. In short, it would be a shame to demolish a house which had stood for 100 years.

在我们所有的项目中，我们的观点是尽可能多地保护建筑环境。一百年前就已经存在的交易已经不复存在，或者被认为太贵了。因此，我们选择恢复现有的建筑和保护工艺装饰艺术时期。

In all our projects our view is very much to protect as much of the built environment as possible. Trades that existed 100 years ago, don’t exist anymore, or are considered too expensive. We therefore chose to restore the existing building and protect the craftsmanship of the Art Deco period.

我们认为，可持续性就是尽可能多地保存，而不必要地浪费现有的材料。因此，关于可持续性的最重要的决定是与众议院现有的结构一起工作。

We believe sustainability is about preserving as much as we can without needlessly wasting existing material. So, the most substantial decision regarding sustainability was to work with the existing fabric of the house.

一旦作出这一决定，材料和服务都是围绕可持续性原则设计的，包括智能管理的水热系统、双层玻璃窗和带窗帘和屏风的正面遮阳窗。

Once this decision was made, materials and servicing were all designed around principles of sustainability, including a smart managed hydronic heating system, double glazed windows, and positively shaded windows with curtains and screens.

我们选择了天然材料，比如石头，染色的(没有油漆的)木材，窗户要么是钢的，要么是木材，而不是铝。其他ESD属性包括太阳能热水启动系统、太阳能池加热和滴灌花园灌溉系统的雨水收集。

We selected natural materials such as stone, and stained (not painted) timber, windows are either steel or timber, and not aluminium. Additional ESD attributes include solar hot water booted system, solar pool heating and rainwater harvesting for drip feed garden irrigation systems.
