When Tom and Meeghan McInerney bought a 1940s house in Lake Wendouree it was, despite its age, anything but a renovator’s delight. Previously owned by two sisters who had lived there for 60 years, the property had been extremely well looked after, even coming with a maintenance record that detailed such upkeep as biannual repainting.

当汤姆和梅格汉麦克因内尼在温杜里湖买了一栋1940年代的房子时，尽管它的年龄大，但它只是一个更新者的乐趣。这间房产以前由曾住过60年的两个姐妹所拥有，一直受到非常好的照顾，甚至连一份维护记录都详细地描述了像一年一次的重新喷漆这样的维护记录。

The original timber panelling and ornate plaster work on the ceiling was also in pristine condition. Nevertheless, the couple were keen to create a light, modern space within their new family home, and Ballarat architect Nathan Porter shared their vision. “It was very dark and underwhelming (and) one of the things Meeghan and Tom wanted to do very early on was have a glimpse of naturally lit spaces as soon as you enter the building,” says Nathan. “We kept as much original as possible, but there were some helter skelter areas at the back that needed a good tidy up.”

天花板上原有的木板和华丽的灰泥制品也处于原始状态。尽管如此，这对夫妇还是热衷于在他们的新家里创造一个明亮、现代的空间，巴拉拉特建筑师内森·波特也分享了他们的看法。内森说：“这是非常黑暗和平淡无奇的(而且)米恩和汤姆很早就想做的事情之一就是一进入大楼就能看到自然照明的空间。”“我们尽可能多地保持原创性，但后面有一些更糟糕的地方，需要好好整理一下。”

The plan was to create two architecturally delineated zones, the original front with bedrooms, bathrooms and a study, leading to a contemporary, naturally lit extension. The existing hardwood floors that were in perfect condition at the front of the house were matched with recycled floorboards in the rear extension, creating a common thread which works for both zones and unifies the new and the old. The bedrooms have been treated to contemporary en suites, with on-trend black tap fittings and classic wall tiles sourced by the couple.

该计划是建立两个建筑划定的地区，原来的前面有卧室，浴室和一个书房，导致一个当代的，自然照明的延伸。现有的硬木地板，在房子的前面是完美的状态，与回收地板在后面的延伸，创造了一个共同的线，工作在两个地区，并统一新旧。卧室已经被处理到当代的EN套房，时尚的黑色水龙头配件和经典的墙砖由这对夫妇提供。

Generously-sized windows look out onto the north facing backyard, this larger living space where the family has spent plenty of time since moving in at the end of March this year. “What we found as we put the glass in was it opened up to all these vistas of other beautiful details in houses around town,” says Nathan.

尺寸巨大的窗户向北面的后院看，这个更大的生活空间，在那里，自今年3月底入住以来，家庭已经花了大量的时间。内森说：“当我们把玻璃放入玻璃时，我们发现的是，它打开了城市周围房屋中其他美丽细节的所有这些景色。”

A small courtyard created by two little zones gives clear surveillance over the backyard and lets Tom and Meeghan supervise their young daughters without hovering over them. Timber panelling breaks up the expanse of brickwork on the facade, while reclaimed 1940s bricks were laid in a contemporary pattern to continue the union between the old and the new.

一个由两个小区域创建的小庭院对后院进行了清晰的监视，让汤姆和米根监督着他们的小女儿，而不让他们在他们身上徘徊。木材镶板打破了墙面上巨大的砖块，而回收的20世纪40年代的砖块则以当代的模式铺设，以延续新旧的结合。

Meeghan’s favourite aspect of the renovation however, is the naturally light-filled kitchen. “It’s a beautiful kitchen to work in,” she says. “I just love how we’re living in the Lake Wendouree House. It’s exactly how we envisaged having the kids playing here, and we’ve had some nice dinner parties.” She looks to Nathan who nods and says, “It’s probably exceeded our expectations.”

然而，米根最喜欢的装修方式是自然光线充足的厨房。“这是一个美丽的厨房工作，”她说。“我只是喜欢我们住在温杜里湖的房子里。这正是我们所设想的让孩子们在这里玩耍的方式，我们还举办了一些愉快的晚宴。“她看着内森点点头说：“这可能超出了我们的预期。”
