“芒特福德路”项目是一个小的，但戏剧性的干预1950年代的战后房屋，最初设计的“贝尔兄弟”(也是众所周知的家具)。设计练习主要包括两个方面，第一个是关于住宿需求的语用，第二个是关于光、量和空气。

The “Mountford Road” project is a small but dramatic intervention into a 1950’s post war house, originally designed by the “Bell Brothers” (also well known for their furniture). The design exercise comprised essentially two aspects to the brief; the first being about the pragmatics of accommodation needs, while the second was about light, volume and air.

简报的务实一面是提供一个更有凝聚力的生活、就餐和娱乐空间，可以更好地连接现有的室外庭院。简报的这部分是满意的，只增加了40平方米，同时调整了现有房屋的空间平衡。最终，在新的“吊舱”中增加了一个新的厨房、洗衣房和餐厅，而起居室、室外庭院和入口则重新调整了现有的布料。

The pragmatic side of the brief was about providing a more cohesive living, dining and entertaining space that could better connect with the existing outdoor courtyard. This part of the brief was satisfied by adding only 40 square metres whilst reorganising the balance of space within the existing house. Ultimately a new kitchen, laundry and dining space were added in the new “pod” while the living room, outdoor courtyard and entry where recalibrated within the exiting fabric.

该设计更“有抱负”的一面是最大限度地利用北极光和与外部环境的接触，同时试图减少因计划中的相邻房产扩建而造成的隐私损失。简报的这一部分产生了一个双高度的木材覆盖挤压空间，它被高、低的北面窗户点缀，提供受控制的视野和自由进入阳光和阳光的机会。“豆荚”的后壁形成了一个开口，形成了一个既有的花园庭院，形成了一个丰富而平静的背景，最小的，严酷的空间。空间的规模也是不同的，在旧的，更压缩的客厅到解放的卷的新。

The more “aspirational” side to the design was about maximising the north light and engagement with the external environment, while trying to mitigate loss of privacy from planned extensions from an adjacent property. This part of the brief gave rise to a double height timber clad extruded space that was punctuated by high and low north windows which offered controlled views and free access to light and sun. The rear wall of the “pod” forms an aperture to a pre-existing established garden court that forms a rich but calm backdrop to the minimal, stark space. The scale of the space is also varied between the older, more compressed living room to the liberated volumes of the new.

务实的设计提供控制，私人和安全的入口进入“里哈德”或私人庭院，通过重新设计的入口，尽管在原来的位置。这个“里哈德”是新的和旧的部分平衡自己的支点。进入这所房子的顺序仍然保持原样，尽管是新制造的木门，提供了尽可能多的内部和外部空间之间的连接。新的“豆荚”还提供冬季和夏季替代室外住宿，这样的空间可以充分利用全年。

Pragmatically the design offers controlled, private and secure entry into the “rihad” or private courtyard via a redesigned entry albeit in the original location. This “rihad” is the fulcrum about which the new and the old part of the house balance themselves. The entry sequence into the house itself remains as it were albeit with new crafted timber doors that afford the greatest possible connection between the internal and external spaces. The new “pod” also offers winter and summer alternatives to the outdoor accommodation such that the space can be fully utilised year round.

房子里使用的新材料被设想用来补充现有的砖和木材织物。新的(但明显不同的)风向板表达了新的“吊舱”，而木材的内部使用提供了一个更直接但同样现代的联系，与贝尔兄弟的工作。有节制的调色板被有意地构思，以强化空间是一个空白的画布，为光明，空气和生活提供。空间有一种宁静，但仍然提供丰富和对比，这来自丰富的木材和白色的墙对比。

The new materials used in the house were envisaged to compliment the pre-existing brick and timber fabric. New (but distinctly different) weatherboards articulate the new “pod” while the use of timber internally offers a more direct but equally contemporary connection to the work of the Bell Brothers. The restrained palette is deliberately conceived to reinforce the idea about the space being a blank canvas for light, air and life to furnish. There is quietness to the space while still offering richness and contrast that comes from the rich timber and white wall contrast.

这是一个小项目，但一个亲密的项目。结果反映了客户的生活、兴趣和热情。这是一所专为家庭聚会设计的房子，供孩子们玩耍，供朋友们参观。它为生活的更大需求服务的架构，其结果是奖励客户在整个过程中的辛勤工作，更广泛地说，是对他们的生活的回报。在这个项目中有一种真正的喜悦感，我们希望能与所有应该亲身体验它的人产生共鸣。

This is a small project but an intimate one. The outcome is a reflection of the client’s life, interests and passion. It is a house designed for family to gather, grand kids to play and friends to visit. The architecture it there to serve life’s greater needs and the outcome is reward for the client’s hard work throughout the process and more broadly, their lives. There is a real sense of joy within this project that we hope will resonate with all who should experience it for themselves.
