肯尼迪·诺兰（Kennedy Nolan）最新的住宅项目之一——墨尔本近郊埃尔斯特威克（Elsternwick）一座经过修复和重新构想的爱德华式建筑，热烈的色彩拥抱迎接当代。

Heritage greets contemporary with a warm embrace in one of Kennedy Nolan‘s latest residential projects — a restored and re-imagined substantial Edwardian house in Melbourne’s inner suburb of Elsternwick.

该项目以其复杂、多重的个性将设计提升到一个全新的水平，这些个性被Kennedy Nolan的灵巧双手和敏锐的设计创造。

Masters of the layered yet measured, colourful yet calm, visually arresting yet comfortable and warm, this project takes things to a whole new level with its complex, multiple personalities that have been carefully threaded by the deft hands and sharp sensibilities of the Kennedy Nolan design team.

“这个项目最大的优势在于它的完整性，”帕特里克说，我完全同意。“这是一个改建和扩建项目。然而，整个房子在规模和质量上都很独特。”

“The great strength of this project lies in its completeness,” says Patrick, and I simply couldn’t agree more. “It is an alterations and additions project, so there is old fabric and new fabric. However, the overall house feels singular in mood, scale and quality.”

由于客户的特别要求——无论眼睛落在哪里都能看到漂亮的东西。设计团队从功能和美学的角度来看待房子的每个角落。因此，即使是最平凡的功能也被提升为一种艺术形式。

This outcome, in part, resulted from the client’s specific request for something beautiful to look at wherever the eye landed. This compelled the design team to look at each element of the house both from a functional and an aesthetic approach. As a result, even the most mundane functions have been elevated into an art form.

现有的建筑结构保存完好，实现美观，为设计团队提供了丰富的灵感来源。现有和新建的房间采取整体设计的方法，但更重要的是客户希冀的情感和氛围，而不是特定的空间或视觉品质。

The existing building fabric was well-preserved and beautifully realised, providing a rich source of inspiration for the design team. While the brief called for a complete approach to a substantial suite of existing and newly constructed rooms, more importantly — the client spoke of “emotions and atmospheres rather than specific spatial or visual qualities”, reminisces Patrick.
