这是由Andrew Maynard Architects设计的穆尔街别墅，位于澳大利亚。8年以来，这个四口之家一直住在陈旧的房子里。这座房子是丈夫年少的时候就居住的地方，现在已经十分陈旧，因此他们决定将房屋重建。
该地区是一个澳大利亚一个很繁华的社区，这个小屋规模不大，甚至还有一些黑暗和寒冷。该别墅的外观十分简单，下层是会客厅，上层是住宅区，屋顶为露台。但是走进房间，可以看到这并不是一个简简单单的设计。由于该别墅所处位置比较阴暗，因此设计师在上层使用了大量的落地玻璃设计，尽可能多地获得自然光。在一层入口的位置，延伸出一段距离，这里被设计成平台的样子，房屋的大门也是宽大的落地窗，因此可以使这片原本紧凑、黑暗的地方变得宽敞、明亮起来。
在旧房子的中心，是一盏精致的日本风格的小灯，灯光柔和、环境安逸，这个四口之家常常在这里谈心、聊天。卧室被设计在楼上，厨房则被安置在一楼的角落里。建筑师在室内使用了大量的玻璃，甚至连浴室这样隐私的地方也通体透明。上层的卧室被南边和北边的大胶树树冠和枫树树冠包围，感觉很像一个树屋。

A family of four had lived in this modest, ageing house for almost eight years. As the children neared their teenage years something had to be done. Abandoning their home and moving elsewhere was not an option as the family was an important part of a thriving community.
Within this pocket of Fitzroy is a dense mix of workers’ cottages and small terraces. All are modest in size, many are dark and cold. Many of the cottages and terraces are in original condition, with a simple facade hiding an assemblage of brick and weatherboard lean-tos in the rear yard looking onto bluestone laneways.
As Fitzroy has gentrified we have seen renewal take place in unsympathetic ways. There are numerous examples of this assemblage of dark brick and weatherboard being replaced with large contemporary objects that dominate its context.
In the centre of the original house was a small light well containing a beautiful, yet constrained, Japanese maple tree. The family often found themselves conversing through this lightwell. Conversations took place, through the maple, from upstairs bedroom to kitchen opposite, to study space and even the bathroom. The maple was retained and the lightwell expanded and surrounded in glass, bringing the tree into the living spaces.
The separate boxes on the upper level contain the master bedroom. This space is surrounded by the canopy of the maple to the south and the canopy of a large gum tree to the north, making the master bedroom feel much like a treehouse.
