架构师提供的文本描述。像麻雀一样栖息。栖息之家是一座位于市中心半独立的爱德华式住宅后方的轻型建筑，它掠过你的头顶。

Text description provided by the architects. Perched - like a sparrow. Perched House is a light extension at the rear of an inner city semi-detached Edwardian house that sweeps over your head.

在墨尔本市中心的房产中，简约和场地是常见的.通常情况下，由于需要尽可能多的空间和存储空间，这些空间很容易变得黑暗并感到拥挤。我们决定坚持基本原则，整理布局，减少死区，同时利用自然光来增加戏剧和效果-这个空间其实很小，但没有人会这么认为。

The brief and site are common in inner-city Melbourne properties. Usually, because of the need to pack in as much space and storage as possible, the spaces are susceptible to becoming dark and feeling cramped. We decided to stick to the essentials and neatening up the layout to reduce dead space while playing with natural light to increase the drama and the effect - the space is in fact quite small, but no one would think so.

自然光线从房子的各个区域被吸引进来，把房间延伸到各个方向。我们在套间里引入了漫射的天窗，穿着长袍走来走去，厨房工作空间上方有一个凹进的玻璃屋顶，餐厅角落两边都有一扇突出的窗户，以及楼梯和旁边花园之间平行的玻璃墙。这让一个人能够全天体验光的变化，给房子一种平静和开放的感觉。

Natural light is drawn in from various areas of the house to extend the rooms into every direction. We introduced diffused skylights in the ensuite and walk in robe, a recessed glass roof above the kitchen work space, a highlight window above and on either side of the bureau nook in the dining and a glass wall between the staircase and the side garden running parallel to it. This allows one to experience the changes in light throughout the day and gives the house a sense of calm and openness.

一楼图则

我们的客户简介是装修现有的后部延伸部分，这是结构上合理的，并增加了一间卧室-她不知道我们会在这一过程中重新配置整个房子。厨房是设计的一个非常重要的组成部分，因为她的合作伙伴是一名厨师-这在岛上长椅周围举行娱乐和社交聚会时，这必须引以为傲。对他们来说是一种生活方式。我们在楼上又给了他们两间卧室，里面有浴室和阳台，还有一套完整的主套房，位于房子的前面。

Our client’s brief was to renovate the existing rear extension which was structurally sound and to add a bedroom - she had no idea we would reconfigure the entire house in the process. The kitchen was a very important component of the design as her partner is a chef - this had to take pride of place since entertaining and social gatherings around the island bench is a way of life for them. We gave them 2 more bedrooms upstairs, with a bathroom and balcony as well as a full master suite in the existing front part of the house.

在房子的新部分，我们想要一个没有落地的楼梯，而客户想要一个高天花板来匹配现有的房子。妥协的办法是把扩建部分分成两部分-厨房有一个2.4米的天花板，这解决了楼梯的困境，因为我们隐藏了楼梯的落地。楼上，我们有一间卧室直接离开楼梯口，然后继续往前走几步，到达浴室和后卧室。在那之后，用一条曲线把天花板扫上才是有意义的。整个房子天花板高度的变化给每个空间都带来了不同的动力；岛式长椅上方的下天花板在厨房创造了一个亲密而专注的环境，而餐厅上方的天花板更高，让人对后院更开放，有3.0米的玻璃滑块，给人一种令人振奋的感觉。

In the new part of the house, we wanted a single stair run without a landing and the client wanted a high ceiling to match the existing house. The compromise was to break up the extension into two - the kitchen has a 2.4m ceiling, which solved the stair dilemma because we concealed the landing. Upstairs, we have a bedroom directly off the landing, then continue up a few more steps to reach the bathroom and rear perched bedroom. Sweeping the ceiling up with a curve just made sense after that. The changes in ceiling heights throughout the house give a different dynamic to each space; the lower ceiling above the island bench creates an intimate and focused environment in the kitchen while the higher ceiling above the dining allows more openness to the back yard with 3.0m glazed sliders, giving an uplifting feeling.
