Located on a leafy established street in the inner Melbourne suburb of Malvern, two new controlled and elegant townhouses stand rigidly side by side without giving away some of the more softer elements that can be found within. This brand new, expertly crafted town residence by Megowan Architectural offers ultra convenience in one of Malvern’s most picturesque streets.

位于墨尔本市郊马尔文的一条绿树成荫的街道上，两栋新的受控制的、优雅的联排别墅并肩矗立着，并没有透露其中一些更柔和的元素。这座由Megowan建筑公司设计的全新的、精湛的城镇住宅在马尔文最风景如画的街道之一提供了极大的便利。

Externally, a simple and restrained palette of shale grey render, bronze aluminium and zinc sets the tone for the equally balanced and restrained interiors contained within the homes. Upon entry, the orthogonal external organization unravels to reveal a sinuous set of curved walls that lead to a central sculptural spiral stair.

从外部看，一个简单而有约束的页岩灰、青铜铝和锌的调色板为住宅内同样平衡和约束的内部设置了基调。进入后，正交的外部组织展开，揭示一组弯弯曲曲的墙壁，导致一个中央雕塑螺旋楼梯。

The spiral stair is located within a two storey void complete with double height north facing glazing which dramatically washes the center of each home with a beautiful display of light and shade across the various curved surfaces.

螺旋楼梯位于一个两层的空隙内，具有双层高的北面玻璃，这极大地清洗了每个家庭的中心，在不同的曲面上展示了美丽的光线和阴影。

Inside, the material palette consisting of slabs of New Savoir limestone, European oak floors, brushed nickel fixtures, Silkwort (a very light grey) joinery, and Japanese glazed ceramic finger tiles create an atmosphere that is sophisticated and restrained in its repetition. This material consistency allows for the spaces, volumes and light of each home to become the distinctive features.

在里面，材料调色板由新萨沃尔石灰石板、欧洲橡木地板、刷过镍装置、丝蒿(一种非常浅灰色的)细木工和日本釉瓷指瓦组成，创造了一种复杂和克制的重复气氛。这种材料的一致性使得每个家庭的空间、体积和光线成为独特的特征。

In addition to the previously mentioned double height void, skylights, light courts, clerestory windows and up to 3.6m high ceilings were all strategies implemented to ensure that the southern townhouse in the pair would receive near equal levels of natural daylight to the north facing home. In doing so, the design for the Cressy Townhouses was able to make efficient spatial use of the site without the compromise of daylight so often found in the semidetached typology.

除了前面提到的双高空隙外，天窗、灯光庭院、牧师窗和3.6米高的天花板都是为了确保这两座住宅的南方联排别墅在北面得到接近同等水平的自然日光而实施的。通过这样做，Cressy联排别墅的设计能够有效地利用场地空间，而不受光线的影响，而这种情况经常出现在半理想的类型中。

Floor to ceiling windows and doors, external blinds, fixed perforated and horizontal screens and internal shear and block out curtains recessed into pelmets all help bring different levels of dappled light deep into each room. In large part, the success of the Cressy Street Townhouses, like all good pieces of architecture, is in the way the natural light becomes a sculpted and manipulated material within the spaces that emphasizes and animates the juxtaposition between fluid and rigid forms.

从地板到天花板的窗户和门，外部百叶窗，固定的穿孔和水平的屏幕和内部剪切和遮挡窗帘的凹槽，所有这些都有助于给每个房间带来不同程度的斑驳光线。在很大程度上，Cressy街联排别墅的成功就像所有优秀的建筑作品一样，它的成功就在于自然光在空间中成为一种雕塑和操纵的材料，它强调了流体和刚性形式的并置，并使之充满活力。
