项目坐落于充满浓厚现代主义氛围的考尔菲尔德，前身是一栋建于20世纪70年代的双层错层住宅，项目的内容即对这座住宅进行重新的设计。设计追溯了现代主义住宅建筑的起源，同时根据家庭日益增长的生活需求对住宅进行了必要的扩建。在获得了原场地南侧地块的建设权后，曾仅需对场地上的双层住宅的扩建任务，发展为对两块场地的整合，以及再在南侧场地上扩建出一栋单层结构。
Located in Modernist Caulfield, the original structure was a double-storey, 1970s, split-level residence in need of reimagining. Referencing the home’s Modernist beginnings while designing a contemporary extension for a growing family was key to the brief but, with the acquisition of a second parcel of land to the south, what began as a single-site, double-storey addition morphed into a double-site, single-level extension.

景观设计师在项目设计早期就开始参与进来，旨在保证扩建部分与场地整体氛围的和谐与视觉联系。原住宅的混凝土立面细节以拱门的形式延伸出来，以在两栋建筑之间形成呼应，同时也形成了室外休闲区的主要外墙。为了避免落入在原建筑后方增加双层扩建结构的设计俗套，建筑师选择采用一条玻璃连桥将居住者引导至住宅的主翼。
Landscape architects were engaged early in the design phase to ensure an integrated vision for the expanded site. As a primary response, the original concrete façade detail has been stretched away from the original building to form the ‘skin’ of the master retreat. Eschewing what has become a conventional strategy, that is, to add a double storey to the rear, this master wing is accessed by a private glass bridge at ground level.

一道带有拱形门洞的外墙将主卧内的床隐藏起来，并且保持了室内与室外之间自然和光线的联系，这种理念同时也是设计中始终优先的重点。作为一栋家庭住宅，建筑与花园之间的渗透增加了人们乐于居家办公的可能，通往主人寓所的玻璃走廊被证明是一个很好的踱步区域。当孩子们在花园里玩耍吵闹时，工作室内的专注氛围也不会受到打扰。

A curved shroud conceals the main bed from the neighbours’ view but maintains connection to nature and light. – a priority throughout. As a family home, the spreading out of the house and garden enhances the work-from-home potential, with the glazed corridor to the master retreat proving to be an excellent pacing area. The clients can both work from home uninterrupted while their children play in the garden or rumpus.

扩建部分主体由混凝土现浇而成，经济实用、环保健康，而精心选择的涂层材料则改变了混凝土的外观与给人们来带的视觉与触觉感受。太阳能电池板、以太阳能为能源的热水器以及泳池加热系统、高性能高密闭性的双层玻璃，以及外部百叶窗，均在日常节能方面起到了重要的作用。此外，项目内还设置了雨水收集系统，用于冲洗厕所与灌溉景观。
Modified cladding materials achieve a concrete look and feel, without the expensive, non-environmentally friendly in-situ concrete. Solar panels, hot water and pool heating offset daily energy use, as well as extensive insulation, high-performance double glazing and external blinds. Storm water is collected to flush toilets and irrigate the landscape.

设计中有趣的点在于模糊现有建筑与新建部分之间的差别，旨在将两者融为一体，营造统一和谐的氛围。曾经入口架高、室内地面位于地坪之下，且促狭昏暗的玄关空间经过重建，变得宽敞而明亮，并与拱门后的景观紧密联系在一起。
Blurring the distinction between the existing structure and the new was a deliberate strategy designed to create a unified architectural entity. A once-dark, enclosed undercroft, the original, elevated entry was rebuilt to create a new, ground-level foyer, light-filled and linked to the landscape, behind the original arches.

进入住宅内部，映入眼帘的是宽敞的厨房、休息室、下沉式客厅，以及设有大面积玻璃的用餐区域。这些空间不仅具有多功能性，同时也向花园开放，具有理想的采光与景观视野。灵活开放的空间成为了整个家庭的心灵避难所，轻松的氛围在室内外之间轻松过渡，从公共区域自然流动到私人空间中。
Spaces within the home – the generous kitchen, lounge, sunken living room and glazed dining area – are delineated to maximise versatility and garden aspects, resulting in a haven for the entire family, with easy transitions from public to private zones, inside and out.

室内的设计体现出主流审美：白色混凝土与原水磨石地板相结合，再辅以亮蓝色的长毛绒地毯，在新旧之间打造出微妙的平衡；温暖的木制饰面与如火焰一般的橙色天鹅绒沙发，则呼应了这栋住宅的历史。下沉客厅内的定制青铜色玻璃茶几和植绒地毯亦是如此。天花板上，原有的玻璃天窗被扩大，并包裹在木材内衬的吊顶中，将室内空间与自然联系在一起。
The prevailing aesthetic is a nuanced balance of old and new: white-on-white concrete flooring meets original terrazzo and bright blue plush carpet, timber lining envelops the interiors and burnt orange velvet couches nod to the home’s history. So, too, do the custom-bronze glass and flocked carpet in the sunken pit. The original glazed skylight has been scaled up and wrapped in a timber-lined ceiling to link with nature.

天窗最大限度地减少了人工照明的需求，体现了贯穿项目始终的可持续原则之一。在冬季，裸露的混凝土地板内集成了地暖系统，能够为居住者营造出温暖舒适的室内环境，而在夏季，混凝土材料则能够帮助空间保持凉爽。
Skylights minimise the need for artificial lighting and are but one of the sustainable principles adopted throughout. Integrated floor heating within the exposed concrete floor acts a heat bank during winter while the concrete maintains a cool finish in summer.

坐落在地广人稀的郊区社区环境中，本项目成功地将当代家庭生活方式与一栋著名建筑时代的产物融合在一起。灵活的空间不仅满足了多功能的需求，同时体现出亲生物的原则，注重与景观的连接以及生活场景的多样性，在最大程度了改善了现有的住宅。
On its generous suburban block, the new build sensitively integrates contemporary family living with an architectural relic of a celebrated era. The versatile design embodies biophilic principles, focusing on connection to landscape and flexible living, whilst also enhancing the existing home.
