项目：Jacaranda House Architect：MacCormick

The retained federation front and its formally defined spaces are juxtaposed with the open contemporary space extending to the garden beyond. The stories of family life continue to evolve in the new space between the enduring jacaranda and its counterpoint, the fireplace with its own burgeoning memories.

保留的联邦前线和它的正式界定的空间是并列的开放的当代空间延伸到花园以外。家庭生活的故事继续在持久的夹克兰达和它的对立面之间的新空间中演变，壁炉有着自己蓬勃发展的记忆。

What was the conceptual framework? The low-key street presence belies the sanctuary of the rear green-walled garden beyond and it was the desire for a better garden-connection and more outdoor space that started this architectural journey. The connection is realized with; a fully-opening and column-free rear façade, natural materials, and generous ceiling heights to mimic the openness of the garden and to invite the jacaranda canopy inside. The fireplace sits as counterpoint to the jacaranda and it is through these sentinels that exterior and interior merge. They juxtapose enduring memories with new memories, dappled canopy with solid mass, one to climb in and the other to support the Jacaranda house. The existing ground floor was overshadowed, so the new living room wall steps in to invite sun and light from above and around the chimney. The removal of the 1980s alterations allowed the character of the front rooms and entry space to celebrated. The old is defined by the entry skylight void which also lights the existing core. Improved thermal comfort and sustainability is realized with the retention and repurposing of existing fabric, a thermal-mass slab heated by the sun and by site-produced and stored electricity, thermal glazing, and efficient space with a reduced site footprint.

概念框架是什么？低调的街道存在掩盖了后面绿色围墙花园的庇护，正是希望有更好的花园连接和更多的户外空间才开始了这一建筑之旅。连接实现了：一个完全开放和无柱后立面，天然材料，和慷慨的天花板高度，以模仿开放的花园，并邀请雅卡兰达天篷内。壁炉作为夹克兰达的对立面，正是通过这些哨兵，外部和内部融合了起来。它们把持久的记忆和新的记忆并列起来，用坚实的质量点缀着树冠，一个用来爬进去，另一个用来支撑雅卡兰达的房子。现有的底层被阴影遮住了，所以新的起居室墙壁进入，从烟囱的上方和周围邀请阳光和光线。20世纪80年代改建的拆除使得前厅和入口空间的特色得以庆祝。旧的定义是由入口天窗空洞，这也照亮了现有的核心。改进的热舒适性和可持续性是通过对现有织物的保留和再利用来实现的，它是由太阳和现场生产和储存的电力、热玻璃和减少场地足迹的高效空间加热而成的热质量平板。

What was the brief? The clients wanted to retain the existing Federation house but to give it a much improved connection between the garden and house. The existing house is over shadowed to the north and the new house had to allow for the penetration of northern light into the existing dark interior.. The beautiful large Jacaranda tree in the rear garden had to be retained and celebrated. The programme included living, dining , kitchen, 4 bedrooms, bathrooms,study. The existing pool was to be renovated and provided with outdoor entertaining space adjacent to it. The existing cabana was to be replaced with guest accommodation…

简报是什么？客户希望保留现有的联邦房屋，但使它的花园和房子之间的联系大大改善。现有的房子在北方的阴影上，而新的房子必须允许北方的光线渗透到现有的黑暗内部。后面花园里那棵美丽的大雅卡兰达树必须保留下来，并加以庆祝。该方案包括生活、就餐、厨房、4间卧室、浴室、书房。现有的游泳池将进行翻修，并提供与其相邻的室外娱乐空间。现有的出租车将被客房…所取代。

Relationship to built context The Jacaranda house sits within the heritage conservation area much as it always has. The street presence remains largely unaltered with the exception of remedial works. The new works sit quietly behind and below the existing ridge, deliberately avoiding the tendency to tower a box above the existing. The existing stairwell turret, an enduring element in the uphill district vistas is retained and repurposed as the ceiling for the master suite robe. The scale of the garage and granny flat sits comfortably within the scale of the rear laneway.

与建筑环境的关系，雅卡兰达房屋坐落在遗产保护区内，与以往一样。除了补救工程外，街道的存在基本上没有改变。新作品静静地坐在既有的山脊后面和下面，刻意避免把盒子放在现有的基础之上的倾向。现有的楼梯间塔楼是上坡区景观中的一个持久元素，它被保留下来，并被重新用作主套房长袍的天花板。车库和奶奶公寓的规模舒适地坐落在后巷的规模内。

Programme resolution – how does functional performance match the clients brief. The connection with the sanctum of the existing garden is immediate, generous and unfettered. The high ceiling draws the jacaranda and its canopy into the casual eating space. The garden area is increased. Previously excluded northern light breaks into the lounge room through the fireplace skylight, and the previously dark core is now flooded with light at the void-connection between the old and the new. The Jacaranda house harnesses the cool air passing in the northern setback in summer and in winter, the thermal mass floor collects sun and is further warmed with in-floor heating offset by solar panels.

程序解析-功能性能如何匹配客户简要。与现有花园圣殿的联系是立即、慷慨和不受约束的。高高的天花板把夹克和它的天篷拉进了随意的进食空间。花园面积增加了。以前被排除在外的北极光通过壁炉的天窗进入休息室，而以前黑暗的核心现在旧的和新的之间的连接处充满了光。雅卡兰达的房子利用夏季和冬季北部的冷空气，热质量地板收集太阳，并被太阳能电池板抵消的地板内暖气进一步加热。

Contribution to lives of inhabitants. The client’s every-day is easier, more comfortable, more ordered, and there is now a little bit of time to just be. The merging between inside and garden mean that family gatherings can now be intimate or separate whilst still visually connected. The outdoor space is increased. Natural light and sun fill the house where it was previously excluded. The Jacaranda house is now warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The machinations of family life are made simpler by the kitchen, pantry and laundry resolution and there is now personal space for the likes of a ‘cat-nap under the pergola’.

对居民生活的贡献。客户的每一天都更容易，更舒适，更有秩序，现在有一点时间可以做了。室内和花园之间的融合意味着家庭聚会现在可以是亲密的，也可以是分开的，而视觉上仍然有联系。室外空间增加了。自然光和阳光充满了以前被排除在外的房子。雅卡兰达的房子现在冬天更暖和，夏天更凉爽。家庭生活的阴谋诡计通过厨房、储藏室和洗衣房的决议变得更简单了，现在有了一些私人空间，比如“在珀戈拉下打盹”之类的人。

Cost value outcome All decisions on the project were value engineered from the scope of the works down to the detailing, material selection and architect’s involvement. The works address the brief whilst avoiding maximization of the allowable floor space. Planning and circulation are concise. The budget focused on the areas of most impact and engagement; the primary living area and ground floor whilst the granny flat and garage are paired back in their new scope and finish. The procurement included many provisional sums which allowed for cost-benefit review of key elements to achieve the best result within budget.

成本价值结果所有项目的决策都是从工程范围到细节、材料选择和建筑师参与的价值工程。该工程解决了简要，同时避免最大限度的允许的地板空间。规划和流通是简明的。预算的重点是最具影响力和参与度的领域；主要的居住区域和底层，而奶奶公寓和车库在新的范围和装修上成对。采购包括许多临时金额，以便对关键要素进行成本效益审查，以便在预算范围内取得最佳结果。

Integration of allied disciplines Much was asked of the rear elevation; fully openable to sides and ceiling with 2-way easy-sliding doors weighing 220kg each. Minimal bracing opportunities and the open-corner free-standing fire place added to the complexity of the task. Builder, Structural engineer, Door fabricator and Architect collaborated to provide a seamless ceiling plane, smooth rolling top hung doors, bracing and vertical support within the open cornered fireplace to meet the design intent. Collaborative discussion with the Interior Designer added refinement to joinery detail, developed the client’s material palette and improved the functionality of wet areas and back of house.

联合学科的整合对后方的高度要求很高；完全可打开两侧和天花板，每扇重220公斤的双向易滑动门。最少的支撑机会和开放角落的独立消防场所增加了任务的复杂性。建筑商、结构工程师、门制造者和建筑师合作，提供无缝天花板平面，光滑滚动的顶挂门，支撑和垂直支撑在开放的角落壁炉内，以满足设计意图。与室内设计师的合作讨论增加了细木工细节的精细化，开发了客户的材料调色板，并改善了潮湿地区和房子后部的功能。
