Small, sustainable and spacious. This family home demonstrates how we might take on the challenge of designing dwellings for our increasingly urban cities. Our Australian cities are growing rapidly and we are becoming an increasingly urbanised society. Melbourne overall averages around 1-2 storeys high which is why we have a population of just under 5 million where cities like London have 10 million within the same footprint, without relying on high rise living. As we grow towards 8 million by 2050, we can either intensify or spread out. It is well established that greater density can drive an economy that in turn we can harness to drive better social and environmental outcomes – improved provision of services and amenity within our immediate neighbourhoods, better levels of service in our public transport, and even greater affordability. This is something that we are passionate about and is a central focus for the Urban Creative practice.

小的，可持续的，宽敞的。这个家庭住宅展示了我们将如何面对为我们日益增多的城市设计住房的挑战。我们的澳大利亚城市正在迅速发展，我们正在成为一个日益城市化的社会。墨尔本的总体平均高度在1-2层左右，这就是为什么我们的人口只有不到500万，像伦敦这样的城市在相同的足迹范围内有1000万，而不依赖于高层生活。到2050年，我们将增长到800万人，我们既可以加强，也可以分散开来。众所周知，更大的密度可以推动一个经济，反过来，我们可以利用它来推动更好的社会和环境成果-改善我们邻近地区的服务和便利设施，改善我们公共交通的服务水平，甚至提高我们的负担能力。这是我们热爱的东西，也是城市创意实践的中心。

Sitting on a 5.5m wide site, and bounded by 6m high walls and behind an existing shop, this 3 bedroom Ascot Vale House in Melbourne’s inner west has deployed a number of clever strategies to transcend its constraints. A light filled courtyard occupies the centre of the home, creating a sense of interconnectedness and expansiveness, where in reality the dwelling is in some places as little as one metre in width. The courtyard allows daylight to enter deep into the living spaces despite a challenging orientation. It also drives a passive cross ventilation strategy across the entire home, through creating a pressure differential – a device that has been used for centuries.

这座位于墨尔本内西的3间卧室的Ascot Vale House位于一处5米宽的场地上，围绕着6米高的墙壁，坐落在一家现有的商店后面。它采用了许多巧妙的策略来超越自身的限制。一个充满光线的庭院占据了房子的中心，创造了一种相互联系和扩展的感觉，实际上，在一些地方，住宅的宽度只有一米。庭院允许日光进入生活空间深处，尽管方向很有挑战性。它还通过制造压差来驱动整个家庭的被动交叉通风策略-一种已经使用了几个世纪的设备。

A double height glazed wall also partially acts as a trombe wall, capturing early morning solar gain onto the retained masonry party wall and providing passive heating in winter. In warmer months this is able to be controlled by blinds.

双层琉璃墙也部分地起到了护墙的作用，它可以捕捉清晨的太阳进入所保留的砖石墙，并在冬季提供被动加热。在温暖的月份，这是可以控制的百叶窗。

The original brick party wall has been uncovered and cleaned back to expose its rich warmth throughout the main axis of the dwelling. Not only does this avoid the use of new materials to construct this facade but both dwellings on either side of the party wall serve to insulate each other.

原来的砖墙已被揭开和清理回来，以暴露其丰富的温暖贯穿整个住宅的主轴。这不仅避免了使用新材料建造这一立面，而且在党墙两侧的两处住宅都起到了相互隔离的作用。

Bricks from the original dilapidated structure on-site have been reused in the facade of the ground floor, and other elements were recycled through careful hand demolition and segregation of materials. Locally sourced recycled materials were used throughout the dwelling, including the timber stairs, floorboards, repurposed internal solid timber doors, recycled timber shelves in the living room and the reconditioned steel framed window in the kitchen.

原失修结构的砖块已在底层的立面重复使用，其他构件通过仔细的手工拆迁和材料的离析被回收利用。在整个住宅内使用了当地来源的再生材料，包括木材楼梯、地板、重新使用的内部实木门、客厅的再生木材货架和厨房的翻新钢框窗。

Low VOC materials have been used through out including the shelving and fireplace which have been finished with Tadelakt, a moroccan rendering technique using lime plaster sealed with olive oil soap. The ground floor structural slab has been hydronically heated and polished, avoiding the need for further material usage.

低VOC材料已被使用，包括搁置和壁炉已完成的塔德拉克特，摩洛哥渲染技术，使用石灰灰泥密封橄榄油皂。底层结构板经过加温打磨，避免了进一步材料使用的需要。

The Ascot Vale House uses solar power and an efficient hot water heat pump as well as recycling rainwater. Existing planting on the very tight site was carefully maintained throughout construction and a vertical green wall now provides a backdrop to all the living spaces of the dwelling.

AscotValeHouse采用太阳能和高效热水热泵，同时回收雨水。在整个施工过程中，仔细维护了非常紧密的场地上的现有种植，垂直的绿墙现在为住宅的所有生活空间提供了背景。

In this way the original dwelling on site – a dark and gloomy single storey uninsulated dwelling with no outlook – has been replaced with a light-filled joyous new home. The major achievement of this project though is how it demonstrates how we can make the most of very small pockets of space within our cities to create a richer and more diverse urban landscape.

这样，原来在现场的住宅-一个黑暗和阴沉的单层，没有隔热的住宅，没有前景-已经被一个充满光充满欢乐的新家取代。然而，这个项目的主要成就是，它展示了我们如何最大限度地利用我们城市中的小块空间来创造一个更加丰富和多样化的城市景观。
