Much to the joy of all of its new owners, no matter their age, Jost Architects recently wrapped the last few finishing touches on an amazing new family home project called Kew Ease House! This space was created for a family that opts to live together multi-generationally in Kew East, Australia and designers wanted to make each and every member of the group feel comfortable and accounted for, from the grandparents right down to the kids, including the family dog.

让所有的新业主非常高兴，无论他们的年龄，Jost建筑师最近完成了最后几个完成了一个惊人的新家庭住宅项目，称为Kew轻松房屋！这个空间是为一个选择多代生活在澳大利亚Kew East的家庭而创建的，设计师们希望让这个群体的每一位成员都感到舒适和负责，从祖父母到孩子，包括家庭狗。

The first challenge designers faced (besides accounting for the needs and likes of such a diverse age range of people) was the angle of the chosen plot. The site where the house sits slopes steeply down towards the street, meaning the house had to actually be recessed into the slope to sit safely and evenly. Once they’d safely anchored the house using architectural foundational techniques akin to braiding, the turned their attention to materials.

设计师面临的第一个挑战(除了考虑需要和喜欢这样一个不同年龄范围的人)是所选情节的角度。房子所在的地方斜坡陡峭地向街道倾斜，这意味着房子实际上必须陷进斜坡中，才能安全、均匀地坐着。一旦他们用类似编织的建筑基础技术安全地锚定了房子，他们就把注意力转向了材料。

Rather than concentrating on sleekness or modernity, designers chose materials with shades that gave the space a sense of robustness and tonal hues, suiting the plant life around the house. The structure sits not far from the Kew Billabong and the Yarra River, so the flora and fauna on the plot are lush and plentiful. Inside, in the interest of keeping things quite natural and textural, some surfaces have been finished with fabric rather than shiny, synthetic materials.

设计师们选择的不是光滑或现代化的材料，而是赋予空间一种稳健感和色调的材料，适合房子周围的植物生活。这座建筑坐落在离丘比拉邦和雅拉河不远的地方，所以地块上的植物和动物群都很茂盛。在内部，为了保持事物的自然和纹理，一些表面已经完成了织物，而不是光泽，合成材料。

Besides the bodies of water we mentioned above, the house also sits right across the road from a sprawling park and the Yarra Trail. Its proximity to these things actually made it less important that the home boast its own private outdoor spaces because its afforded such incredible access to these quiet, natural features. These also provide the house with stunning views from just about any room.

除了上面提到的水体，房子还坐落在马路对面的一个广阔的公园和雅拉小径。它与这些东西的接近实际上使得家庭拥有自己的私人户外空间变得不那么重要了，因为它提供了如此令人难以置信的途径来获得这些安静的自然景观。这些也为房子提供了几乎任何房间的令人叹为观止的景观。

In order to take full advantage of the fact that this home is nestled into such lush nature, several cross-ventilation features were adding, as well as massive windows that draw in bright sunlight (but with smart glazing to keep them from heating up). On the ground floor of the house, visitors encounter a garage and internal flat for visitors, as well as several private areas that are separated from public social ones by a main corridor. Those include the master suite and a formal family living room.

为了充分利用这一事实，这所房子被安置在如此繁茂的自然，几个交叉通风功能，以及巨大的窗户吸引明亮的阳光(但聪明的玻璃，以防止他们升温)。在房子的底层，游客们会遇到一个车库和一个内部公寓供游客使用，以及几个私人区域，这些私人区域由一条主要的走廊与公共的社会区域隔开。其中包括主套房和正式的家庭客厅。

On the higher level of the house, two children’s bedrooms are featured with a private bathroom. Down the hall, you’ll find access to a stunning rooftop balcony with simple, stylish seating and a breathtaking view of the park and even the city beyond. The idea of having the kids’ bedrooms at the top is to give them some privacy and space, giving older generations more accessibility downstairs.

在房子的较高层，两间儿童卧室配有私人浴室。沿着大厅，你会看到一个令人惊叹的屋顶阳台，带有简单、时尚的座位和令人叹为观止的公园景观，甚至更远的城市。让孩子们的卧室位于顶层的想法是给他们一些隐私和空间，让老一辈人更容易下楼。

The overall sense of the house bears an atmosphere of relaxation, neutral calm, and space that is easily shared. It’s a place that is simple enough and yet diverse and adaptable, letting it easily appeal to people of any age or need level so that everyone can co-exist with joy.

房子的整体感觉有一个放松的气氛，中性的平静，和很容易分享的空间。它是一个简单而又多样化和适应性强的地方，让它能轻松地吸引任何年龄或需要的人，这样每个人都能与快乐共存。
