Naranga Avenue House / James Russell Architect

来自建筑事务所的描述：佛罗里达花园，一条60年代的运河，围绕着煤渣砖房子。这是个多么好的环境。

建筑师计划运用当地传统材质煤渣砖，但是煤渣砖的造价昂贵，同时需要通过粉刷从而免受沿海腐蚀空气的侵蚀。

From the architect. Florida Gardens, a 60’s canal estate with leathery swinging grandmas and breezeblock houses. What a great context...
We wanted to play with breezeblocks, a material that has its place here, but breezeblocks are expensive and need to be painted for protection from the corrosive coastal air.

建筑师在边缘使用挤压粘土砖，形成滑稽的孔洞。挤压粘土砖的造价不高，消耗低，并且不需要过多的后期维护，粘土这种材料具有很强的表达性，并且能够产生很好的空间氛围。

We used extruded clay bricks on edge, showing the ugly holes. Extruded brick is inexpensive, low embodied energy and doesn’t require applied finishes to protect it. The material, clay, can be expressed and enjoyed.

建筑师在硬木框架上固定了幕布。阳光变成了斑驳的光线，一阵风吹来，雨变成了雾，在日常生活中，人们即使在属于自己的私人空间，也能看到周围的景色，这样的设计极具隐私性能。

Fixed to expressed hardwood framing we make our screen. Sun becomes a dappled light, breeze moves through, rain becomes mist, daily rituals can happen in privacy but with views or awareness of your surrounds and it is secure.

内部花园是连接天空与大地的场所，人们在这里散步、沟通、交流，这也是人们与大自然相互沟通的场所。

这座住宅就是一个位于森林与水池之间的小村子。

Garden is of course, inside, a hole from earth to sky. A place to arrive (transition), move through and around, to look through or talk across, it connects levels and places you in conversation with country.
The house is a small village between forest and pool.

住宅坐落在街道旁，人们在这里聚会或就餐时与街道产生对话，同时与周边社区产生更多的联系，这里的车不多，并不会影响到人们之间的沟通交流。

Houses must sit on the street. Gathering and meals look back to street in conversation. There is a connection with the larger neighborhood. Cars are secondary and never a barrier to this relationship.

尽管距离街道还有几棵植被的距离，这个地方仍然成为社区大家庭中的一部分，这是一个充满社区感的场所，但是有着更加细腻的纹理或者细节，从而更加模糊了内外空间的界限。

This place becomes part of the neighbouring family, though more generous with forest to street. A place that is similar to its neighbours but with a finer grain or detail and more ambiguous about inside and out.

建筑师第一次从南斯拉夫的Currigee驾车去见James和 Lauren。没想到那一次仓促的会面竟引发了关于滨海生活的热烈讨论。这场讨论围绕着这些精致的场所，建筑该如何免受恶劣天气的影响？建筑如何在具有隐私保护功性质的前提下又对外开放？从而让人们欣赏到美丽的自然风光？

I drove my tinny from Currigee at South Straddie to meet James and Lauren for the first time. I was looking scruffy and didn’t expect to hear from them again but this was a perfect way to start discussions about living on the coast. Discussions around a place that is refined, provides protection from adverse weather, a shell or screen that protects and allows you to enjoy this country.

后来，James和Lauren成为了这个项目的业主，不仅仅是为了减少开支，而且是为了像其他的年轻家庭那样尝试建设自己的房子。有限的预算让建筑师脑洞大开，通过极简的材质与精湛的设计来达到一种独特的空间品质。

James and Lauren became owner builders for this project, not only reduce costs, but to try their hand at building like many young families have done before. Tight budget is a driver of innovation, making with minimal material, put together in ways to achieve a particular porosity or quality of space.

这个项目的关键就是合作。工程师Josh协助建筑师用最少的钢材制作了模块化木框架以及表皮。James和 Lauren从家庭木材厂采购了木材，而Eve从澳大利亚砖厂找到了一种很漂亮的粘土砖。

Collaboration was key with this project. Josh the engineer helped us make our modular timber frame & skin work with minimal steel. James and Lauren sourced timber from a family timber mill and Eve from Austral Bricks help in finding a beautiful clay brick.

Lauren, James和孩子们将体验温和的气候变成了日常生活的一部分，他们在花园里制作食物、享用早餐咖啡时也享受到斑驳的阳光，夏日的微风穿过细腻的砖幕吹拂着他们的面颊，这种感觉让人仿佛置身于软卧之中。这是一座会呼吸的建筑。

Lauren, James and kids engage with the benign climate as part of daily rituals... making of food happens beside the flowering Crepe Myrtle, dappled sunlight moving across your body while having a morning coffee, summer breeze passes the fine brick screen across your veiled, naked body as you lay in bed. The building breathes.

这就像是一个极具层次感的村落，家庭生活占据了这里的大多数时间，通过森林或水池，人们在这里与大自然产生了更多的联系，从而也激发了更多的社交方式。

There is a village within this filter. Place for a large extended family much of the time, and retreat when required. Layering of a little village, connection to country and diverse social possibilities with movement beyond to the forest or pool.
