Newtown House was recently renovated by Hindley - Co, an architectural and interior design practice based in Melbourne. This renovation to a mid-century house at the top of a valley in Newtown is all about the sweeping views of the surrounds, and the balance between the old and the new.

新城大厦最近由辛德雷修缮。

CONCEPT: To delicately preserve and enhance an emotional connection to the existing house and landscape to create a delightful, airy and characterful house.

概念：精心保存和加强与现有房屋和景观的情感联系，以创造一个愉快，通风和特色的房子。

BRIEF: The existing house was a childhood home for one of the owners. The brief sought to maintain the mid-century essence of the existing house and pay homage to its quirks, while bringing it up to date with contemporary family living requirements.

简略：现有的房子是一个童年的家，其中一个业主。这份简报力求保持现有住宅的世纪中叶精华，并对其怪癖表示敬意，同时使其与当代家庭生活需求保持一致。

The house is situated overlooking the Barwon River valley and its surrounding parklands in Newtown, Victoria. Its position at the very south of the block takes advantage of a spectacular view of the valley behind and this aspect was further enhanced by opening up the bathrooms, master bedroom and living spaces to the view, as well as streamlining the glazing on the façade.

这座房子坐落在维多利亚州纽敦，俯瞰巴圆河谷及其周围的公园。它在街区最南端的位置利用了后面山谷的壮观景色，这一方面通过打开浴室、主卧室和可俯瞰的起居空间，以及简化立面上的玻璃，进一步加强了这方面的作用。

The double sided glass entry and original fireplace were retained, and the new spaces extended around them. The South side of the house was opened up for the views to be appreciated from all the rooms, including the bathrooms. The spaces were enlarged to remove the previous awkwardness and maximise the use and enjoyment of the areas. Decks and a pool were added to the large north front garden to maximise the experience of the full site.

双面玻璃入口和原来的壁炉被保留，新的空间延伸到它们周围。房子的南面被打开了，所有的房间，包括浴室，都可以欣赏到景色。空间被扩大，以消除以前的尴尬，最大限度地利用和享受这些区域。甲板和游泳池被添加到大的北前花园，以最大限度地体验整个场地。
