架构师提供的文本描述。现有的财产是典型的20世纪初工人的小屋，计划不周的一系列阴郁，功能失调的倾斜增加，没有获得自然光，也没有直接连接到后院。然而，它提供了两个舒适的卧室在前面和一个功能，小客厅。在此之后，客户的简报要求重新纳入一个新的浴室，洗衣房，厨房和餐厅，以一种更适合居住的方式。

Text description provided by the architects. The existing property was typical of an early-20th century worker’s cottage, with a poorly planned series of gloomy, dysfunctional lean-to additions, no access to natural light and no direct connection to the rear yard. It did however provide two amenable bedrooms at the front and a functional, small living area. With this, the client’s brief asked for the re-inclusion of a new bathroom, laundry, kitchen and dining area into a more livable manner.

该网站面临的困难包括：该地产朝南的方向，阻碍了直接的太阳能接入，以及进入私人开放空间的限制。

The difficulties that the site presented consisted in the property’s south-facing orientation, hampering direct solar access and its the limited access to private open space.

作为回应，规划逻辑是创建一个压缩的集中服务核心，包括浴室和洗衣房，允许更大的体积，即厨房/餐厅连接到后院的后方。

In response, the planning logic was to create a compressed centralised service core containing the bathroom and laundry, allowing a higher volume that is the kitchen/dining room to connect to the yard at the rear.

形式上，增加由两个元素组成，由一个小走廊连接。第一个是白色盒子，里面有新的浴室和洗衣房；第二个是开放式厨房和就餐区，一个黑色的金属包装箱，距离边界一米远，从白色的盒子上伸出来，让北方的阳光照射。

Formally, the addition consists of two elements connected by a small hallway. The first is a white box, containing the new bathroom and laundry; the second being an open plan kitchen and dining area, a black metal clad box which is setback one meter from the boundary and reaches up over the white box for northern sunlight.

入口处，一个人是通过房子的一个小庭院的视野，由后面的加法倒退一米。这一景象是由连接走廊尽头的一个完整的高度窗口创造的，它立即给人一种光的感觉，并在房子里流动。包括侧木槽板也提供了交叉通风的能力，同时提供昆虫筛选和安全，这是一个简单和经济的设备，灵感来自50年代的简约现代主义。

Upon entry one is presented with a view through the house to a small courtyard given over by the one meter setback of the addition at the rear. This vista, created by a full height window at the termination of the connecting hallway gives an immediate sense of light and flow through the house. The inclusion of a side timber slot panel also provides the ability to cross-ventilate whilst providing insect screening and security, a simple and economical device that was inspired by the simplicity of 50’s Modernism.

由现有的平房过渡到新的增加，利用了压缩和释放的影响，在天花板的高度。现有别墅的高天花板通过连接的走廊转移到一个更低的天花板。当进入厨房/就餐区域时，这种压缩会再次释放。视觉的变化放大了高度和开放性的感觉，加强了新旧之间的界限。

The transition from the existing cottage to the new addition utilises a compression and release effect in the ceiling heights. The high ceilings of the existing cottage transfers to a much lower ceiling through the connecting hallway. This compression is then released again upon entry into the kitchen/dining area. The visual shift amplifies the sense of height and openness and strengthens the delineation between the new and the old.

厨房/餐厅是一个简单的棚屋式结构，一个尖顶的尖顶屋顶和一个面向北的牧师窗口。这一亮点窗口的使用，最大限度的阳光量，直接和反弹从倾斜的天花板，使新增加的温暖和开放，克服了网站的限制。

The kitchen/dining room is a simple shed-like structure, a skillion roof that terminates at its apex with a clerestory window facing north. The use of this highlight window maximises the amount of sunlight, both direct and bounced off the sloping ceiling, giving the new addition a warmth and openness that overcome the constraints of the site.

连接到外面是放大后庭院的框架，由一个低，美丽的比例的木材覆盖走廊，作为另一个压缩装置，然后被释放到后面的小后院。

The connection to the outside is amplified by the framing of the rear yard by a low, beautifully proportioned timber clad verandah that acts as another compression device before being released to the small backyard beyond.
