架构师提供的文本描述。在巴尔曼及其周边地区的遗产范围内，将这一范围扩大到一个小村舍，需要仔细考虑新干预背后的哲学。通过对传统建筑形式、使用模式和发展规范的分析，得出了一种战略，即对不断减少的体积提供当代的解释-通常可见于在这些原始建筑中临时增加厨房、洗衣房和室外厕所。

Text description provided by the architects. In the context of the heritage area in and around Balmain this extension to a small cottage demanded careful consideration of the philosophy behind the new intervention. Analysis of traditional built forms, usage patterns and development codes led to a strategy of providing a contemporary interpretation of the ever-decreasing volumes often evident in ad hoc additions of kitchens, laundries and outside toilets that were often made to these original structures.

从传统的使用模式出发，私人领域的公共渗透已经从传统的正规前厅发展到了物业后面更为放松和包容的领域。离入口最近的区域现在变成了卧室分局，后面是一个分散的室内/室外公共空间，以分配围栏为界。通道是通过一个中央走廊延伸到房子的正后门。

Moving away from traditional usage patterns, the public penetration of the private realm has progressed from the compart mentalised formal front rooms to the more relaxed and inclusive realm at the back of the property. The area closest to the entry now becomes the bedroom precinct and the back is a fragmented indoor/outdoor public space bounded by the allotment fencing. Access is via a central corridor that extends through the house right back to the rear gate.

随着当地的设计准则，需要倾斜屋顶形式，新的建筑发展了可识别的三角形形状，传统上与臀部屋顶。这座建筑还起到了保护屏障的作用，形成了一个隐私罩，挡住了从附近房子进入花园的视线。当加法的尺度和尺寸向后门减小时，外部景观被放大和拼接到非正式的半内部空间中。

With local design guidelines requiring pitched roof forms the new architecture grew out of the recognizable triangular shapes traditionally associated with hipped roofs. The building also acts as a protective screen creating a privacy hood blocking the views into the garden from the neighbouring house. As the scale and dimension of the addition reduces towards the back gate the external landscape is amplified and spliced into the informal semi-internal spaces.

折叠形式创造了一个天篷，在夏季提供遮阳，并允许北方的太阳穿透到空间被动加热在冬季。这一增加为旧的未使用的家庭注入了新的生命，保留了95%的现有建筑织物。屋顶设计增加了雨水的收集能力，天窗也促进了对自然采光的依赖。空间自然通风，屋顶具有高性能绝缘，以尽量减少热量的增加。景观概念包括一个甲板面积和大的本土花园，消除了草坪的需要。

The folding forms create a canopy that provides shading in summer and allows the northern sun to penetrate into the space for passive heating in winter. The addition breathes new life into old under-used home with 95% of the existing building fabric retained. The roof design increases the rainwater harvesting capacity and the skylights foster a reliance on natural day lighting. The spaces are naturally ventilated and the roof has high performance insulation to minimise heat gain. The landscape concept includes a deck area and large native garden eliminating the need for lawn.
