卡拉法塔斯挑战者之家在悉尼郊区。这一地区正经历着一场绅士化，在那里，旧式花园中的单层砖平房正被放牛打瞌睡，以建造巨大的新宅邸。我们的客户向我们提出了一个相反的简短要求：尊重郊区的类型，同时更新它以适应他们日益壮大的家庭。

House Kalafatas Challita is in suburban Sydney. The area is undergoing a gentrification, where single storey brick bungalows in established gardens are being bull-dozed in favour of enormous new mansions. Our clients approached us with a brief for the opposite: to honour the suburban type while updating it to suit their growing family.

现有的房子是一座20世纪50年代的红砖平房，在其细节上带有一些古雅的风格和现代主义的符号。这是一个可爱，整洁的小房子，把它最好的脸在街上。

The existing house is a 1950s red brick bungalow with some quaint stylistic nods to modernism in its detailing. It is a sweet, neat little house, putting its best face to the street.

部落的计划包括重新安排现有房屋的内部，拆除一些附加的后方和一个新的砖头活亭。新结构是用回收砖和屋顶瓦建造的。砖块铺得既粗糙又不均匀，把这座非正式的后院展馆与整洁如针的街道地址区分开来。

Tribe's scheme involved rearranging the interior of the existing house, the demolition of some add-ons to the rear and a new brick living pavilion. The new structure is built from recycled bricks and roof tiles. The bricks are laid crudely and unevenly, differentiating this informal rear-yard pavilion from the neat-as-a-pin street address.

新的与旧的分开，创造了一个公共庭院的北部和一个私人庭院与室外淋浴相邻的套房。公共庭院让北光流进厨房和餐厅，把新旧分开。整个过程中都使用大的滑动木门来改变空间的操作。客厅内的书房可以完全隐蔽起来。一扇门可以隐藏电视和播放设备，也可以移动以遮挡走廊进行有效的取暖，或者在夏天再次移动以遮挡阳光。

The new is separated from the old, creating a public courtyard to the north and a private courtyard with an outdoor shower adjoining the ensuite. The public courtyard lets northern light stream into the kitchen and dining room and separates old and new. Large sliding timber doors are used throughout to change the operation of the spaces. A study within the living room can be fully concealed. A door can hide the TV and play equipment, or move to block off the hallway for efficient heating, or move again to shut out sun in summer.

这些新作品的语言是原始的和直接的。地面为现浇混凝土，细木工为胶合板，五金及导管外露。新展馆是一个厨房、餐饮和生活空间。它是非正式的，朴实无华的，充满了阳光和花园的景色。

The language of the new works is raw and direct. The floor is insitu concrete, joinery is plywood, hardware and conduit are exposed. The new pavilion is a kitchen, dining and living space. It is informal and unpretentious, full of light and views of the garden.
