架构师提供的文本描述。将现有住所安置在现场提出了一些困难的挑战。房子的中央位置创造了尴尬的剩余空间，而地点的方向是有问题的，因为主要的居住空间朝南，没有直接的阳光。

Text description provided by the architects. The placement of the existing residence on the site presented a number of difficult challenges. The central placement of the house created awkward residual spaces whilst the orientation of the site was problematic as main living spaces faced south, devoid of direct sunlight.

随着年轻家庭的成长，这些客户想要两间新卧室，一间浴室，一间洗衣房和一间休息室。简短的是要增加住宅的面积，并保留一种景观感。他们也有相当广泛的艺术收藏，并希望墙壁空间来展示作品。

The clients, with a growing young family, wanted two new bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry and a lounge. The brief was to increase the size of the residence and retain a sense of landscape. They also have a fairly extensive art collection and wanted wall space to display the work.

我们这个项目的策略是在场地的周长周围画出延伸部分，以创建一个新的庭院，并使起居区暴露在北方的方向上。这种方法所创造的延伸的循环被设计为画廊空间，扩展和限制在点取决于艺术品的放置和创造了各种各样的空间来标点符号的旅程。

Our strategy for the project was to draw the extension around the perimeter of the site to create a new courtyard and expose the living area to the northern orientation. The stretched circulation created by this approach was designed as gallery space, expanding and restricting at points depending on the placement of the artwork and creating a variety of spaces that punctuate the journey.

同样的，户外空间在创造不同景观体验的对话中推拉着延伸。郊区的前场和后院被重新解释的方式是更多的流动性和较少的定义比传统的细分。

Similarly the outdoor spaces push and pull against the extension in a dialogue that creates diverse landscaped experiences. The suburban front and back yard is reinterpreted in a manner that is more fluid and less defined than traditional subdivisions.

多个插入和材料定义的清晰度创造了一系列‘荚’样的增生，而不是一个单一的读数住宅。这些豆荚的组合和附加的边界占领提供了一个复杂的关系，与景观和气候，而不是一个房子内的草坪。

The articulation of multiple insertions and material definition create a series of ‘pod’-like accretions rather than a singular reading of the residence. The combination of these pods and the boundary occupation of the addition offer a complex relation with the landscape and climate as opposed to a house placed within a lawn.
