架构师提供的文本描述。格伦艾里斯大厦是一个两层的现代延伸加州邦加洛在一个良好的大小在墨尔本郊区。原来的风化板房子坐落在一个倾斜的地点，是在前面和水平与地面在后面，没有任何关系的外部。

Text description provided by the architects. The Glen Iris House is a two storey modern extension to a Californian Bungalow on a good sized block in suburban Melbourne. The original weatherboard house sits on a sloping site and is elevated at the front and level with the ground at the back with no relationship to the outside.

当我们第一次访问这个地方时，我们立刻被吸引到了美丽的绿树成荫的后院，这片后院蜿蜒而下。倾斜的土地是通过干燥的石墙形成的梯田和形式：这给了我们灵感，通过增加一个新的设计，反映了它所处的自然环境，来扩展这座老房子。结果，我们开发了一座梯田式建筑，与场地的斜坡相连，并与后院直接相连。从原来的房子，你走上餐厅，然后上到休息室，从外面的休息室到一个铺好的地方。铺路是由一个座位高度，干燥的石墙，标志着建筑区域的围护。从那里，你走上草坪，把后院变成了穿过房子向上旅行的目的地。

When we visited the site for the first time we were immediately drawn to the beautiful leafy backyard that meandered down towards the house. The sloping land was terraced and formalised through dry stone walls: this gave us the inspiration to extend the old house by adding a new design that reflected the natural environment it was sitting in. As a result we developed a building that is terraced following the slope of the site and is directly linked to the backyard. From the original house you step up into the dining room, and then up into the lounge, from the lounge outside onto a paved area. The paving is enclosed by a seat height dry stone wall that marks the enclosure of the built area. From there you step up onto the lawn making the backyard the destination of an upwards journey through the house.

内部分区清晰而简单。前面的老房子属于孩子们，有三个卧室，一个浴室和一个游乐区。从儿童翼进入新的底层的公共生活区。餐厅构成住宅的中心，厨房与休息室隔开。新楼一楼是父母的侧翼，有主卧室、更衣室、套间和书房。从主卧室，您可以进入屋顶露台，提供对后院的看法。

The internal zoning is clear and simple. The old house at the front belongs to the children with three bedrooms, bathroom and a play area. From the children’s wing you enter the communal living areas on the new ground floor. The dining room forms the centre of the residence and is separated from the lounge by the kitchen. On the first floor of the new building is the parents’ wing with master bedroom, dressing room, ensuite and study. From the master bedroom you can access a roof terrace that provides views over the backyard.

 Floor Plan

客户在看过我们的一些项目后选择了我们，他们被光线的质量、不同空间的不同特征、材料的使用和细节所吸引。在我们所有的项目中，我们都注意到建筑的这些方面：光线是平衡的，我们利用太阳所创造的阴影的影响；探讨了间隔器之间的不同关系：楼下的餐厅和楼上的书房是通过一个空隙连接起来的，主卧室的楼梯是“隐藏”在厨房后面的，这给父母的机翼、餐厅和休息室带来了一种隐私感，它被一堵弯曲的墙围住，这墙本身就形成了一个公共户外就餐区。

The clients chose us after having seen a few of our projects and were attracted to the quality of light, the different characters of varying spaces, the use of materials and detailing. As in all of our projects we paid attention to these aspects of the building: the light is balanced, we utilise the effect of shadows that the sun creates; the different relationships between spacers are explored: the dining room downstairs and study upstairs are connected through a void, the stair to the master bedroom is ‘hidden’ behind the kitchen giving a sense of privacy for the parents wing, dining and lounge are enclosed by a curved wall which in itself creates a communal outdoor dining area.

我们注意到了细节：混凝土靠在木地板上，墙壁互相滑过，外部木料覆层以不同的方式连接在一起。建筑形式和立面都是为了唤起树木的品质而发展起来的，并成为树木的一部分，成为后院的一部分。

We paid attention to details: concrete sits against a timber floor, walls slip past each other and the external timber cladding is articulated in different ways. Building form and facade were developed to evoke the qualities of a tree and become part of the tree filled backyard itself.
