GarthHouse是OlaArchitecture Studio最近完成的一个项目。

Description by Ola Architecture Studio: Located in Northcote, Garth was once a dilapidated nineteenth century Italianate Victorian masonry dwelling who has since been restored and added to with an elegant and restrained timber addition to accommodate a young family of five and two energetic dogs.

奥拉建筑工作室描述：位于北科特，加思曾经是一个破败的十九世纪意大利维多利亚时期的砖石住宅，后来被修复，加上优雅而有约束的木料，以容纳五只和两只精力充沛的小狗的幼小家庭。

The original house is one solid form with all rooms contained within a single volume, and on a high level when considering how to add to what was already there, a conscious decision was made to approach the design with architectural contrasts and similarities. The new build adopts the rectilinear forms of the old, but varies their sequence and size to create a series of intimate internal and external spaces. Externally the new addition reads as a reserved collection of rigid forms stacked on top of, or next to one another, while the internal circulation functions as a seamless transition from one defined space to the next.

原来的房子是一种坚固的形式，所有的房间都包含在一卷书中，在考虑如何增加已经存在的内容时，有意识地决定用建筑对比和相似之处来对待设计。新的建筑采用了旧的直线形式，但改变了它们的顺序和大小，创造了一系列亲密的内部和外部空间。从外部看，新添加的内容是堆叠在上面或旁边的刚性形式的保留集合，而内部循环功能是从一个定义的空间到另一个空间的无缝过渡。

Similar in scale of footprint and mass, and both reserved and devoid of unnecessary detail, the two buildings sit side by side with a calm air of confidence and presence within their landscape.

这两座建筑的占地面积和质量相似，而且既保留，又没有不必要的细节，它们并排，在它们的景观中有一种平静的自信和存在的气氛。
