Kensington House was designed by Sydney-based Virginia Kerridge Architect.

肯辛顿住宅是由总部位于悉尼的弗吉尼亚凯里奇建筑师设计的。

Description by Virginia Kerridge: This house explores the idea of “grafting”, a concept often used in Japanese gardens. Grafting is where a branch or plant is cut and a piece of another plant is added and held in place. The idea is to encourage the tissues of one plant to fuse with those of another. The house is on a double block, one half of which is a tennis court that is no longer full size, but which is in constant use for games and as a playing area.

维吉尼亚·克里奇描述：这所房子探索了“嫁接”的概念，这是日本园林中经常使用的概念。嫁接是指一枝或一株植物被切断，另一株植物的一片被添加并固定在适当的位置。这样做是为了鼓励一种植物的组织与另一种植物的组织融合。房子是在一个双街区，其中一半是网球场，不再是全尺寸，但这是经常使用的游戏和作为一个运动场。

A small parasol zinc roof has been carefully inscribed to allow for head height from the existing (very low) verandah to the new living area. The gestural roof over the living area looks up towards the sky and seems to grow out of the existing building. Three new dormer windows in the children’s level on the upper floor allow light and air and a view across the adjacent parkland area. The adjacent park acts as a borrowed landscape which seems to become part of the site. Visit Virginia Kerridge Architect

一个小阳伞锌屋顶已被仔细地刻有，以使头部高度从现有的(非常低)走廊到新的生活区。起居区上方的标志性屋顶向天空望去，似乎是从现有的建筑中长出来的。在孩子们的楼上，有三个新的背风窗，让光线、空气和周围的公园区域都能看到风景。毗邻的公园作为借来的景观，似乎成为了遗址的一部分。访问弗吉尼亚凯里奇建筑师
