这个项目及它所在的场地为设计师带来了巨大的机会,也带来了相应的限制因素,身在内城但是很宽,深度不够,但其后有一个两到三层的混凝土墙,已有的住宅需要剥离繁冗,回归本质,为住宅增添一个浪漫的附加体就要加上更多精致的细节,但正是这些细节才使设计师能够自由地探索不同的建筑和空间可能,并最大限度地利用独特的场地。设计呈现出一个偏离附近已有墙壁的尖尖屋顶,这个屋顶几乎停歇在主导边界墙之上,很明显这个设计不但遮挡住了很多不适宜的墙壁,同时还创造出独特的空间和丰富的建筑形式。 This project and site presented some great opportunities as well as the obvious constraints, a generous width considering its inner-city context was balanced by a lack of depth and a two-three storey concrete wall on its rear boundary. The existing house required stripping back to its original form by the removal of add-on lean-to structures and overgrown gardens. Given a romantic attachment to the building it was to be carefully restored re-instating period details and preparing the plan for the new additions. However it was the new additions that were free to explore various spatial and architectural options that could take advantage of the unique site. In essence it is an angled roof pitched away from the existing house almost resting itself up against the dominating rear boundary wall. It became very apparent that not only was this proposal screening much of the undesired wall it was creating a rare volume of space and an expressive built form.
