架构师提供的文本描述。这家人在这座1900年代初的别墅里住了好几年，后来才开始改建。这是不典型的别墅布局，房间沿着中央走廊的每一边，在后面的洗衣房、卫生间和厨房区域都可以看到。这些都得到了最好的晚阳，但依偎在挡土墙上，堤岸上升到后面的网站。这所房子感觉与房产的后面没有连接，业主们需要额外的居住空间和更多的两间卧室，以满足他们日益壮大的家庭需求。

Text description provided by the architects. The family had lived in this early 1900’s Villa for several years before embarking on alterations. It was atypical villa layout, rooms running down each side of a central hallway with a viewto the laundry, toilet and kitchen areas at the rear. These received the best late sun, but were nestled up against a retaining wall holding up the bank rising up to the rear of the site. The house felt disconnected from the rear of the property and the owners needed extra living space and 2 more bedrooms for their growing family.

我们和客户一起决定把房子分成老别墅和新扩建部分。为了突出这一差异，并将房子与这部分阳光明媚的后部连接起来，我们创建了一系列的混凝土平台，用木台阶建造一个新的高架家庭居住空间，通向一个更大、更阳光的后院。我们把两间新卧室和一间浴室放在新的起居空间上面。

Together with the clients we decided todivide the house in two, the old villa and the new extension. To accentuate this difference and to connect the house with the sunny rear part of the section we created a series of concrete platforms with woodensteps between creating a new elevated family living space leading up to a larger sunnier rear courtyard. We placed 2 the new bedrooms and a bathroom above the new living space.

扩建的屋顶和外墙与老房子用相同的波纹彩色钢制成，但折叠起来以满足其所封装的功能，并避开了WCC建筑的围护结构。

The roofs and outer walls of the extension are created in the same corrugated color steel as the old house, but arefolded to suit the functions they enclose and dodge the WCC building envelope.

新的居住空间位于别墅走廊的尽头。从前门可以看到空间，台阶和一个凸起的牧师屋顶，把眼睛抬到物业的后面，给人一种邀请的感觉。牧师的玻璃窗在木料的后面，用来过滤低矮的太阳。

The new living space is located directly at the end of the villa hallway. The space is visible from the front door with the steps and a raised clerestory roof lifting the eye up to the rear of the property and giving a sense of invitation. Glazing of the clerestory is behind timber slat work to filter the late low sun.

原来的别墅有一个马泰地板与所有其他表面油漆。新增加的混凝土地板由浅色木材和带有彩色区域的白漆墙面抵消。

The original villa has a Matai floor with all other surfaces painted. The new addition has cool concrete floors offset by light coloured timber, white painted wallswith coloured areas.

我们希望有一个光明和阴影的游戏，一个温柔和温暖，一个探索的邀请。

We hoped there would be a play of light and shade, a gentleness and warmth and an invitation to explore.
