Text description provided by the architects. Introduction

该项目最初是为东圣基尔达一座现有住宅小区设计的，将作为一套房屋和土地出售。客户不想住在新房子里，所以他们给了我完全的设计自由。他们没有意识到的是，我会秘密地创造一个他们想为自己建造的设计。他们做到了！

This project started as design for the subdivision of an existing residential block in East St Kilda, to be sold off as a house and land package. The clients had no intention of living in the new house, so they gave me complete design freedom. What they did not realize is that I would, by stealth, create a design that they would want to build for themselves. And they did!

这片土地只有180平方米，是从一个靠近公共公园的边界线的后院挖出来的。我们面临的挑战是创造一个双重居住场所的设计，在那里，住在新房子里的体验不是被包围的，相反，是广阔的。公园的景色提供了灵感。

The site is just 180 square metres, cut out of a back yard that had its side-boundary adjacent to a public park. The challenge was to create a design for a dual occupancy site where the experience of living in the new house was not one of being hemmed in, but to the contrary, expansive. The outlook onto the park provided the inspiration.

这个项目受到繁文缛节的困扰.首先，必须取消一项契约，以便在这块土地上有两处住所。还有一个与洪水有关的特殊建筑物覆盖层。最后，传统覆盖增加了复杂的通常规划许可证和能源评级要求。所有这些障碍都被克服了。

The project was plagued with red-tape. First, a covenant had to be removed to allow for two dwellings on the lot. There was also a Special Building Overlay relating to flood. Finally, a Heritage Overlay added complications to the usual planning permit and energy rating requirements. All these obstacles were overcome.

 Concept Scheme

概念方案

在细分之前，真正吸引我注意的是邻近公园附近的巨大树胶树。最初的概念回应了树木和它们吸引的鸟类生命。紧凑的场地要求这所房子的足迹很小。为了达到空间，房子被设计成三层，零设置回到公园和车道。垂直的搭船覆层，被染成与牙龈相匹配的颜色，在周围的环境中伪装建筑，所以尽管它很高，房子还是隐约可见地依偎在公园的角落里。

Before the subdivision occurred, what really caught my eye was the majestic presence of large gum trees close by, in the adjacent park. The initial concept responded to the trees and the bird life they attract. The compact site required the house to have a small footprint. To achieve space, the house is designed over three levels, with zero set-back to the park and laneway. Vertical ship-lap cladding, stained to match the gums, works to camouflage the building in its surroundings, so that despite its height, the house nestles discretely into the corner of the park.

为了捕捉树木最好的一面，房子的生活水平在一楼，在一个双高的空间内，所以这种体验就像在树屋里一样。阁楼位于双高度空间内，可容纳主卧室，并在下面的用餐空间形成一个较低的天花板。天花板由可回收的木材梁和明确的交叉支撑组成，是对圣基尔达海滩上的斯托克豪斯的解释。这个低矮的吊顶创造了一个亲密的就餐区，与两端宽敞的双高度起居区和厨房区域形成了鲜明的对比。

To capture the best aspect of the trees, the living level of the house is on the first floor, within a double-height space, so that the experience is something akin to being in a tree-house. Slung within the double height space, a mezzanine accommodates the master bedroom and forms a low ceiling to the dining space below. Made of recycled timber beams with expressed cross bracing, the ceiling is interpretive of that at the Stokehouse, on St Kilda beach. This low slung ceiling creates an intimate dining area that dramatically contrasts with the expansive double- height living and kitchen areas at each end.

一楼的走廊是圣基尔达的另一个参考。这半封闭的走廊是解释了难以置信的实用内置的门廊，共同的艺术装饰公寓沿广场。

The first floor verandah is another St Kilda reference. This semi-enclosed verandah is interpretive of the fabulously practical built-in porches common to the Art Deco apartments along The Esplanade.

时下经典

Instant Classic

对于这所房子的许多内部细节，人们有着明显的70年代的感觉。厚实的木扶手、楼梯上的木扶手和内置的木材元素，证明了70年代我的客户年轻时的丰富文化。对于菲利普港的城市来说，这座房子已经成为一个即时的现代经典，这从菲利普港遗产地图上的重要评分证明了这一点，除非那里的人犯了一个严重的错误！

There is a distinctly 1970’s feel about many internal details of the house. Chunky timber handrails to the stairs and built-in timber elements are a testament to the exuberant 70’s culture of my clients’ youth. The house has become an instant Modern Classic as far as the City of Port Phillip is concerned, evidenced by the significant grading the site is now accorded on the City of Port Phillip Heritage Map, unless someone there has made a serious mistake!
