This project is the alteration and addition of an existing Victorian cottage in Darling Point, Sydney. In recognition of the local suburbs’ vernacular, the ambition was to pay homage to a traditional grand home within a limited footprint.

该项目是在悉尼达令点改造和增加现有的维多利亚式小屋。为了认识到当地郊区的乡土，他们的野心是在有限的占地面积内向传统的豪宅致敬。

Within the building’s heritage walls the team has articulated a contemporary floor plan for a noble family home including the overall replanning of the floor plate with relocation of stairs, four bedrooms and a garden terrace.

在建筑的传统墙壁内，团队为一个高贵的家庭住宅阐述了一个现代的楼层平面图，包括整体重新规划楼板，重新规划了楼梯、四间卧室和一个花园平台。

The clients are a family of five, with three young children. The brief revolved around a highly programmable floor plate within a tightly condensed footprint. Each parent had particular needs including privacy, adult space and ample amenity for their kids including separate rooms with desks, wardrobes and play areas. The lower floor rooms and limited garden needed to provide the decompression space necessary for the children at meal/play time, as well as for the family to operate at different time scales; both the noisy, public and the intimate, private.

客户是一个五口之家，有三个年幼的孩子。简介围绕一个高度可编程的地板在一个紧密压缩脚印。每个家长都有特殊的需求，包括隐私、成人空间和充足的舒适设施，包括带书桌、衣柜和游乐区的独立房间。较低楼层的房间和有限的花园需要提供必要的减压空间，供儿童就餐/玩耍，以及家庭在不同的时间尺度上运作；既有吵闹的、公共的，也有私密的。

The architects’ pursuit throughout was to create measured complexity; a story of rooms and a home in which each inhabitant could find their own usage, favourite nook or public arena. Densely told, this is a story which is effectively nostalgic, allows personal and intimate experiences and creates a high value of storytelling per metre, meeting the clients brief with care.

建筑师们始终追求的是创造一个经过衡量的复杂性；一个房间和一个住宅的故事，每个居民都可以在其中找到自己的用途，喜欢的角落或公共竞技场。这是一个高度集中的故事，实际上是怀旧的，允许个人和亲密的体验，并创造一个高度的每米讲故事的价值，与客户见面时要小心。

Similarly, the interest in the textured, hand constructed and materially robust spirit of the home was a theme the architects maintained during the design of this project. All surfaces have been deliberately hand detailed and finished from polished plaster and painted tidelines to ceiling lining boards and contemporary wall paneling.

同样的，感兴趣的质感，手工建造和物质坚固的精神家园是一个主题，建筑师保持在这个项目的设计。所有的表面都经过精心的手工处理，从抛光的灰泥和喷漆到天花板、衬板和当代墙板。

In the kitchen, two pot railings in solid brass are encouraged to patina with time, reflecting the authenticity of material selections within the home. They also include light fittings.

在厨房里，两根实心铜制的锅栏杆被鼓励随着时间的推移而变薄，这反映了家里材料选择的真实性。它们还包括灯饰。

Alexander -Co also explored several historic references throughout including the application of traditional paved limestone floors in the kitchen and scullery, a grand central stairwell and light-well and the hearth of the grand rooms as well as contemporary interpretations of traditional wall paneling shown throughout. Upstairs, the family bathroom was designed as an abstract of a traditional winter-garden with steel-framed skylight and timber ceiling paneling.

Darling Point house is a heritage conservation zone and is fiercely protected by its local community. Our house falls into this zone and is identified within an inventory of contributory items. Our role during the design and reconstruction was to allow the house to have its own celebrated story and scale within a tightly administered public domain.

达令角宫是一个遗产保护区，受到当地社区的大力保护。我们的房子属于这一区域，并在一份供款物品清单中被确认。我们在设计和重建过程中的角色是让房子在一个严格管理的公共领域内有自己的著名故事和规模。

With intent to regain the spirit of the building, rather than simply recreate its history we sought to dismantle the components of a home typical of the surrounding neighbourhood before scaling it back to fit the specifics of the site. This included replanning of the floor plate, with relocation of stairs, rooms and amenities as well as external works. In the absence of ‘open plan’ the architects have created a house of rooms; a home of rich personalisation for its inhabitants that is greatly beneficial to the client.

为了重新获得建筑的精神，而不是简单地重现它的历史，我们试图拆除一个典型的周边社区的房屋的组成部分，然后再缩小它的规模，以适应现场的具体情况。这包括重新规划楼板，搬迁楼梯、房间和便利设施以及外部工程。在没有“开放计划”的情况下，建筑师们创造了一个房间的房子；一个富有个性化的住宅，它的居民非常有益于客户。

But it is here too that we also find innovation, the built form sympathetic to its surrounding environment. The home is detailed to feel valuable within its restricted dimension and still told each internal story without obvious restriction. District views are carefully framed by panelled and obscured windows and doors, external landscaping and the glow of garden sconce lighting.

但正是在这里，我们也发现了创新，一种对周围环境产生共鸣的建筑形式。在其有限的维度中，家庭被详细地描述为有价值的，并且仍然没有明显的限制地讲述每一个内部故事。地区景观是精心设计的窗格和模糊的窗户和门，外部景观和灯光的花园灯。

The project is beautiful in its exploration of finding the contemporary and grand within what is historic and compact; youthful but also reverential. It is a delicate, slightly feminine study in the role of the contemporary classic.

该项目是美丽的探索，寻找当代和宏伟的是什么是历史和紧凑，年轻，但也崇敬。这是一个微妙的，略带女性化的研究作用的当代经典。
