这个项目是将19世纪末的一家杂货店改造成2层，一间卧室的住宅。在20世纪中期，它作为一个工程车间使用了35年，然后在20世纪70年代被改造成艺术家的工作室和住所。

This project is the conversion of a late 19th century former grocery warehouse into a 2 level, one bedroom residence. In the mid 20th century it had 35 years of use as an engineering workshop before being converted to an artist’s studio and residence in the 1970s.

该物业有两个街道正面，让行人和车辆入口清晰地分开。新的前门是位于前装卸码头在一个安静的库尔-德-袋，毗邻一个传统上市砂岩墙的末端。入口的定义是一个全高度钢板门户，增加了最薄弱的以前的窗户开口和回收砖，构成这个外观。

The property has 2 street frontages, allowing clear separation of pedestrian and vehicle entries. The new front door is located in the former loading dock at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, adjacent to a heritage listed sandstone wall. The entry is defined by a full height steel plate portal, adding to the palimpsest of former window openings and recycled brickwork that make up this façade.

在内部，两条街道之间1.7米的高度差被用来创造高容量的生活空间，它的“地板到天花板的墙壁”的书籍。厨房位于上面的半层，俯瞰客厅，由一个黑色钢板结构和一个内置的黑色皮革长椅组成。车库打开了厨房，它的内部尺寸决定了设计中的主要战略举措。一旦客人的浴室/洗衣房/储藏室和楼梯对面的宽度从内部宽度中扣除，加上车库所需的最小宽度，其余的是10毫米，用来在车库和楼梯之间建造墙壁。这导致采用了10毫米厚的钢板结构，通过入口，厨房围护和书柜。

Internally a 1.7 metre height difference between the 2 streets is utilised to create the tall volume of the living space, with its’ floor to ceiling wall of books. The kitchen occupies the half level above, overlooking the living area and is screened by a black steel plate structure incorporating a built-in black leather bench seat. The garage opens off the kitchen, with its’ internal dimensions defining the major strategic move within the design. Once the guest bathroom/laundry/storage and the stair opposite were deducted from the internal width, together with the minimum width required for the garage, the remainder was 10 millimetres with which to construct the wall between the garage and stair. This led to the adoption of the 10 millimetre thick steel plate structure that flows through to the entry portals, the kitchen surround and bookcase.

所有现有的结构都被保留，内衬和漆成白色，而所有新的元素都被涂成黑色。这个概念被贯彻到黑色和白色的橡胶地板上。所有细木工都是用黑色阳极铝制完成的，包括上层的浴室，保持原来窗户开口高度所建立的基准面。上面清澈的玻璃让新的牧师窗口的光线照亮了原来黑暗的深空空间的中心。在浴室内部，墙壁和地板上都有科里安的衬里。

All existing structure has been retained, lined and painted white, while all new elements are painted black. This concept is carried through to the black and white rubber flooring. All joinery is finished in black anodised aluminium, including the bathroom on the upper level, which maintains the datum established by the height of the original window openings. The clear glazing above allows light from the new clerestory window to illuminate the formerly dark centre of the deep open planned space. Internally the bathroom is lined with Corian on both walls and floor.

主要街道的外墙重新解释了原来的，但用的是钢，而不是木材，地址在水射流切割钢字母，反映原来的工程车间标志。钢结构的精度与原砖结构的对比，概括了19世纪到21世纪，从工业到住宅的转变。

The main street façade reinterprets the original but in steel rather than timber, with the address spelt out in water jet cut steel letters reflecting the original engineering workshop signage. The contrast between the precision of the steelwork and the patina of the original brickwork summarises the transformation from 19th to 21st centuries and from industrial to residential.
