Floor Plan/楼层平面图

项目是为一对退休的夫妇打造，开放而便于使用的设计将起居空间和后面的花园融为整体，创造出具有良好光线的室内的延伸。新的建筑由两个浮动的体快组成，包括西边的卧室和东边的日常活动空间。体块的两翼逐渐从主体中偏离，并在其间形成玻璃的体块。这个空旷的空间将花园带进了室内，将室外元素连接到住宅的中心。

Conceived for a retired couple, the open and accessible design integrates the living space with the rear garden to create a well-lit domestic extension. Comprised of two floating volumes, the addition formally designates the bedroom to the west and the main (common) space to the east. The two wings gradually diverge from the original structure to generate a glass-clad fissure in between. This void space pulls the garden inwards, injecting elements of the outdoors into the core of the house.

卧室一侧/体块位于住宅的西边，环绕了现有的卧室体块，并向外延伸形成一个木平台以容纳一个额外的卧室。这个卧室向花园开放。

The bedroom wing/volume, which is located on the west side of the house encompasses the existing bedroom volume which was extended toward the rear in the form of a wood tube to accommodate an additional bedroom. This bedroom volume opens out to the garden.

第二个体块包括的主要空间：厨房、餐厅和娱乐空间。东边主要空间的木墙在两堵混凝土墙上折叠，形成主要的屋顶平面。这个主要空间形成了大片透明的开口或空洞，朝向后面花园的木制露台。主要的屋顶平面延伸到了附近的车库屋顶。花园的混凝土墙从娱乐室延伸至连接坡道的花园，形成部分悬臂梁并呼应了主要空间的混凝土墙。

The second volume, which comprises the main space, houses the kitchen, dining and media areas. The east wood wall plane of the main space folds onto two concrete walls to form the main roof plane. The main space produces large transparent openings or voids that open out onto a deck at the rear garden. The main roof plane extends forward to form the carport roof near the front of the property. A garden concrete wall stretches out from the media room toward the garden adjacent to a rear ramp and forms part of the cantilevered bench that echoes the concrete wall material in the main space.

原来的结构，设置的音乐室、两间卧室和一个浴室，进行了适当的保留和翻新。前面的卧室被插入一个新的钢制窗来取代现有的一个小窗口。前面入口玄关用硬木板进行拓展和重建，连接到新的车道。壁炉烟囱以及车库和存储室也进行了重建，用回收的三元乙丙橡胶皮进行立面的包装。新的走廊/通道和木材包装的储藏墙被设计成结构的核心，并连接新的建筑与现有的结构。

The original structure, which houses the music room, two bedrooms and a bathroom, was retained and renovated. A new steel bay window seat was inserted at the front bedroom to replace a small existing window. The front entry porch was extended and rebuilt with hardwood decking connecting to the new driveway. The fireplace chimney was reconstructed and, along with the carport storage volume, was skinned with recycled epdm rubber. A new hallway/ passage and wood skinned storage wall were designed into the core of the structure to engage and connect the materiality of the new addition with the existing structure.
