If you ask us, the stunning Brick Aperture house designed by Kris Grennan Architecture is aptly named! Like cameras of auld, its square shape and strategic window placement allows light to flow into the structure in a way that’s sure to brighten each day.

如果你问我们，惊人的砖孔径房子设计的克里斯格伦南建筑是恰当的名称！就像奥尔德的相机一样，它的方形形状和战略性的窗口布置让光线以一种每天都会亮起来的方式进入到结构中。

Located in Sydney, Australia, Aperture House is a single story dwelling that sits amidst a small row of period houses. It stands out from the others as a freestanding cottage, providing great contrast along the street since the row is bookended by large commercial buildings. Despite having been recently refurbished, several of the more classic details in the home still remain authentic, showing off historic looking features that are typical of Inner West Sydney.

位于澳大利亚悉尼的ApertureHouse是一栋单层住宅，坐落在一排小房子中间。它作为一座独立的平房而与众不同，这条街形成了巨大的对比，因为这排房子都是由大型商业建筑预订的。尽管最近进行了翻新，但家中的一些更经典的细节仍然是真实的，展示了典型的内西悉尼的历史特征。

The read of the house is comprised entirely of stunning glass windows, from roof to ground. This adds a more modern look to that angle of the dwelling, letting the front blend a little more into the aesthetic of the street. To ensure that the house doesn’t get too warm or bright for comfort in direct sunlight, the yard is flanked with several stunning, large trees that provide just the right amount of shade for comfort. They also improve the view out the kitchen and master bedroom windows!

从屋顶到地面，整栋房子都是由令人叹为观止的玻璃窗组成的。这增加了一个更现代的外观，使住宅的角度，让前面更多地融入了街道的美学。为了确保房子在阳光直射下不会变得过于温暖或明亮，院子的两旁摆着几棵令人惊叹的大树，它们为舒适提供了适当的遮荫。他们还改善了窗外的厨房和主卧室的窗户！

In their redesign, architects worked with the primary goal of providing considerably more floor space than existed before. Though they wanted to keep the front of the house, with its more traditional rooms, largely the same, they worked to make the back of the house slightly more modernized and open concept, letting light spread throughout and making the whole place feel much bigger and more breathable. This process was helped along by the addition of several gorgeous skylights that make the ceilings feel high and free.

在重新设计时，建筑师的主要目标是提供比以前更多的面积。虽然他们想要保持房子的正面，与传统的房间，基本上一样，他们努力使房子的背面稍微更现代化和开放的概念，让光线遍布各地，使整个地方感觉更大，更透气。这一过程中加入了几个华丽的天窗，使天花板感觉很高和免费。

To balance out the modern feel inside the house, design teams stuck to a more traditional looking brick finish on the outside. Combined with the three chimneys of the original house and the very square shape, this red brick saves the structure from looking overly minimalist and adds a homey touch. They even made sure to use local recycled bricks to reduce the project’s environmental impact.

为了平衡房子内部的现代感觉，设计团队坚持用外观更传统的砖头装饰。结合原来房子的三个烟囱和非常方形的形状，这种红砖节省了结构看起来过于简约，并增加了一个家的感觉。他们甚至确保使用当地回收砖来减少该项目对环境的影响。

The bring theme we’ve mentioned above actually continues inside the house as well! Material continuity is achieved without detracting too much from the clean, white aesthetic of the modern looking interior redesign through simple brick painting. This lets the home feel updated while still enabling a visual dialogue between Aperture House and the other houses along its street. This was important to designs because it upheld the local tradition of masterful brick craftmanship that is so evident in the heritage structures of the surrounding neighbourhood.

我们上面提到的“带来”主题实际上在房子里也在继续！通过简单的砖头绘画，实现了材料的连续性，同时又不影响现代外观室内设计的干净、白色的美学。这让家庭感觉更新，同时仍然能够在ApertureHouse与其街道上的其他房屋之间进行视觉对话。这对设计很重要，因为它维护了当地传统的高超砖工艺，这在周围街区的遗产结构中非常明显。

To suit the painted white bricks on the inside, the updated parts of the house stick to a sleek, simple colour scheme. The white is speckled with pops of stark black and natural wood accents, just to save it from looking too overly modern compared to the outside of the house. In combination with the red brick and windows, the overall aesthetic is one of successful redesign and satisfactory upcycling, rather than replacing the old with the new entirely.

为了适应室内的粉刷白砖，房子的更新部分坚持一个光滑，简单的配色方案。白色点缀着赤裸裸的黑色和天然木材口音的POP，只是为了避免与屋外相比显得过于现代。结合红砖和窗户，整体的美学是成功的重新设计和令人满意的升级循环，而不是取代旧的完全新。
