架构师提供的文本描述。伊尔玛林屋是安德鲁梅纳德建筑师到目前为止最绿色的房子。它的规划和定位是以无源太阳能效率为坚实基础的。所有的屋顶雨水都被收集起来了。它有太阳能电池板，高性能绝缘，回收材料，低涂层双层玻璃，低VOC材料，最重要的是，它是小的。

Text description provided by the architects. The Ilma Grove house is Andrew Maynard Architect's greenest house so far. Its planning and orientation is based solidly around passive solar efficiency. All roof captured rain water is harvested. It has solar panels, high performance insulation, recycled materials, LowE coated double glazing, low VOC materials and, most importantly, it is small.

伊尔玛格罗夫住宅是在维多利亚北部的一个遗产住宅的延伸。扩建不仅为目前的家庭提供了更多的空间，也为可持续的生活方式提供了环境。从设计过程开始，一个可持续的家园的想法是简要的一部分。客户想要一个实用的地方，可以帮助他们的家庭减少他们的生态足迹。

Ilma Grove house is an extension to a heritage home in Northcote, Victoria. The extension provides a lot more than just additional space to the current home for 3, it provides the environment for a sustainable lifestyle. From the beginning of the design process, the idea of a sustainable home was part of the brief. The client wanted a place which could be practical and could help their family reduce their ecological footprint.

原房屋后部的砖头斜鞋被拆除，限制了老房子的改造。

Brick lean-tos at the rear of the original house were demolished limiting the adaptation of old part of the house & containing it within the hipped roof. This allowed the extension to sit next to the original structure rather than invading the rear of the existing building, avoiding extra costs in demolition and reducing construction waste. Adhering to the principal of “small is green” (less waste, less electricity consumption, less materials, less cost) the result is a functional open plan, where maximizing passive solar gain becomes indispensable. A master bedroom has been included on the first floor with a roof terrace above that overlooks the city to the south and the Dandenong ranges to the east.

安德鲁·梅纳德建筑师利用北面后院的优势，开发了一种探索块体的方法，其中的一些部分被切割出来，以便最大限度地利用太阳的穿透。这就产生了一种几何结构，在这种结构中，盒子的内部肉以丰富的木材表面展现出来，与未加工的再生砖块形成对比。不同层次之间的相互作用以及新旧之间、内外之间模糊线的概念，引入了把后院整合到房子内部，在里面雕刻花园的想法，目前正被用来种植西红柿。

Andrew Maynard Architects took advantage of the north facing backyard, and developed an exploration of mass where segments were carved out in order to maximize sun penetration. This generated a geometrical structure where the internal flesh of the box is revealed with rich timber surfaces, contrasting the raw recycled brickwork.The interaction between levels and the idea of blurring lines between new and old, inside and out, introduced the idea of integrating the backyard into the interior of the house, carving the garden inside, which currently is being used to grow tomatoes.

内部地板是当地采购的青石，目的是使用当地生产的材料缩短运输距离，从而减少二氧化碳。蓝宝石的黑暗而致密的性质就像一个热团，吸收了冬季低热的太阳。

The internal flooring is locally sourced bluestone with the intention that using locally produced materials shortens transport distances, thus reducing CO2. The dark, dense nature of bluestone acts as a thermal mass soaking up the low winter sun & passively heating the house. In summer the high sun does not come into contact with the bluestone allowing the floor to act as a cooling mass in the hotter months. LowE coated double glazed throughout the house ensures that heat is retained in winter and reduces the penetration of heat in summer. These design features completely remove the need for air-conditioning and drastically reduce the necessity of heating throughout the colder months.

材料的选择是创造可持续结构的关键一步。决定重新使用/重新组装房屋旧部分被拆除地区的现有砖块，以形成新的附加物；模糊了新旧之间的界线。使用再生材料是一种可持续的选择，但由于材料的运输和再加工，仍然存在碳债务。伊尔玛格罗夫的房子避免了这样的情况，重新使用被拆除的倾斜到现场的砖块；被拆除的砖块已经以一种新的结构被重建。这不仅避免了浪费，垃圾填埋场和运输材料，而且它把新结构的材料语言重新回到原来的房子。面砖砌体也是一种耐用和低维护的材料，有可能再次被回收利用。强化再生砖的热性能是高性能绝缘，已安装在全国各地。

The choice of materials was a vital step in order to create a sustainable structure. It was decided to re-use/re-assemble the existing bricks from the demolished areas of the old part of the house to form the new addition; blurring the line between what is new and what is old. Using recycled materials is a sustainable choice, however there is still a carbon debt accrued by the transport and reworking of materials. The Ilma Grove house avoids this by reusing the bricks of the demolished lean-to on site; what was demolished has been rebuilt in a new configuration. This not only avoids waste, landfill and transportation of materials, furthermore it ties the material language of the new structure back into the original house. Face brick masonry is also a durable and a low maintenance material which can potentially be recycled again. Reinforcing the thermal performance of the recycled brick is high performance insulation that has been installed throughout the home.

经过长时间的讨论，这位客户有意识地决定不在楼上有套间。这帮助减少了增加的规模，同时也减少了随着家庭内功能和设备的加倍而产生的实际能源。太阳能电池板已经被增加，以使房屋的煤炭独立。充足的太阳能是在冬天收获的，而剩余的能量则在夏天反馈到电网中。

After lengthy discussions about the brief the client made a conscious choice not to have an en-suite upstairs. This helped to reduce the size of the addition while also reducing the embodied energy that comes with doubling up on functions and equipment within the home.Solar panels have been added to make the house coal independent. Ample solar energy is harvested in winter, while a surplus of energy is fed back into the power grid in summer.

一个大街区的诱惑是建造一个大房子。这种做法遭到了抵制。最大限度地利用室外空间并与之连接，使之成为生活空间的自然延伸是关键所在。小房子是一座可持续发展的房子，就像我们的TattoHouse一样，我们决定在别人有机会之前就涂鸦/纹身/画我们的新作品。

The temptation on a large block is to make a large home. This has been resisted. Maximizing the outdoor space and connecting with it so that it has become a natural extension of the living space was the key. A small house is a sustainable house.And like our Tattoo House we decided to graffiti/tattoo/stencil our new creation before anyone else got a chance.
