The Spider House is an extension and renovation to a mid century solid brick suburban two level house, involving a complete aesthetic renewal of the entire house. This was achieved with a series of infill additions, new verandah structure, reconfiguring some internal walls and part deconstruction of the front tiled hip roof to form a dramatic internal ceiling, as well as a complete renovation throughout.

蜘蛛屋是对一个世纪中叶实心砖郊区两层房屋的延伸和翻新，涉及到整个房子的完整的美学更新。这是通过一系列的补充，新的廊道结构，重新配置一些内墙和部分拆除前瓷砖臀部屋顶，形成一个戏剧性的内部天花板，以及一个完整的翻新。

The idea was to bring the solid but tired suburban brick house into the 21st Century and redesign it to suit contemporary needs and standards including passive solar design elements such as deep verandahs, light filled internal courtyards and study areas as well as ensuites and new additional bathrooms. A separate studio apartment on the lower level was also created, and the gardens excavated and landscaped to form private courtyards.

此举的目的是将这座坚固而又破旧的郊区砖房带入21世纪，并重新设计它，以适应当代的需求和标准，包括被动太阳能设计元素，如深廊、充满光线的内部庭院和书房区，以及接踵而至的设施和新的浴室。此外，还在较低层建造了一套独立的单间公寓，并对花园进行了挖掘和美化，形成了私人庭院。

The interior palette and materials were kept simple and consistent and also continue externally on the building reflecting the outside within, using cedar panelling ceilings, white terrazzo flooring, white walls and brickwork and black steel trim and window frames.

内部调色板和材料保持简单、一致，并在建筑外部继续使用柏木镶板天花板、白色水磨石地板、白墙和砖墙以及黑钢饰边和窗框。

The existing heavy tiled hipped roof at the front was altered to form a windowed gable and to provide a dramatic ceiling within the living area below, bringing northerly light within to the kitchen area of the house. A verandah was added at the front to provide shade to the north and over the upper deck and entry, and to in part disguise the buildings former life as a classic suburban modern brick and tiled house.

前面现有的厚重的瓦状屋顶被改造成一个有窗户的山墙，并在下面的起居室内提供了一个戏剧性的天花板，使房子的厨房区域有了北方的光线。在前面增加了一个阳台，为北面和上层甲板和入口提供遮荫，并部分地将以前的建筑伪装成一座典型的郊区现代砖瓦房屋。

This project was a collaboration involving the architect, interior designer Emma Dwyer and the builder Matthew Dwyer from MMD Constructions, all contributing equally in all areas of design.

这个项目涉及建筑师，室内设计师艾玛·德怀尔和MMD建筑公司的建筑商马修·德怀尔，他们在所有设计领域都做出了同样的贡献。

It’s a risky undertaking to try to dramatically alter the aesthetics of suburban houses like these both internally and externally and emerge with a successful project.

这是一项冒险的事业，试图戏剧性地改变郊区房屋的美学，像这样的内部和外部，并出现了一个成功的项目。

Fortunately this building had solid bones and a rational layout and as such could handle these dramatic alterations in part without becoming confused, awkward or clumsy. By keeping the colours and materials simple and natural yet strong, the existing house doesn’t become overwhelmed with newness and consequently remains strong and deliberate. This is why the internal materials are reflected externally using similar cedar timber, white terrazzo stone, black steel trim and white bricks.

幸运的是，这座建筑有坚实的骨骼和合理的布局，因此能够在一定程度上处理这些戏剧性的变化，而不会变得混乱、尴尬或笨拙。通过保持色彩和材料的简洁和自然而又坚固，现有的房子不会被新鲜感所淹没，并因此保持强大和谨慎。这就是为什么内部材料是用类似的雪松木材，白色水磨石，黑钢装饰和白砖在外部反射的原因。
