Essendon House is a refurbishment and extension project completed by Australian studio Lai Cheong Brown.

埃森登大厦是一个翻新和扩建项目，由澳大利亚工作室赖昌布朗完成。

From the architect: Developed from a schematic design the clients had commissioned some years earlier with another designer, Helen Johnson, the project focused on the re-imagining of a solid brick Inter-war home as both a downsize for a retiring couple and a multi-generational home for additional members of the family. The house also needed to accommodate the gatherings of a large family cohort many of whom live only streets away.

建筑师：这个项目是根据客户几年前委托另一位设计师海伦约翰逊(Helen Johnson)设计的原理图设计的，该项目的重点是重新设想一个实心砖砌的战后住宅，既可以让一对即将退休的夫妇缩小规模，也可以为其他家庭成员建造一个多代住宅。这所房子还需要容纳一大群家庭的聚会，他们中的许多人只住在街道之外。

In a heritage overlay, the design response needed to accommodate all of the expansion to the rear of the block, retaining only a large decked area to the northern side as private open space. Externally the project repaired and refurbished the tiled roof, clinker brick façade and chimney while replacing original window joinery to a matched detail. New wrought iron gates were designed based on the motif of the original 1930’s ironwork.

在一个传统的覆盖，设计反应需要容纳所有的扩展到后面的街区，只保留一个大面积的北侧作为私人休憩空间。在外部，该项目修复和翻新了瓦片屋顶、熟料砖外墙和烟囱，同时将原有的窗户细木工更换为相应的细节。新的锻铁门是根据1930年最初的铁器设计的。

The extension is completed in a mix of re-used and recycled clinker bricks with the new living space, topped by its lantern roof, differentiated in dark blue dry pressed brickwork.

扩建工程是在重复使用和循环利用的熟料砖与新的生活空间的混合中完成的，顶上是灯笼屋顶，用深蓝色干压砖加以区分。

Internally the house provides a new interior that blends retained and refurbished heritage details with contemporary elements.

在内部，房子提供了一个新的内部，融合了保留和翻新的遗产细节与当代元素。

The house accommodates both a retired couple and an adult family member in connected but separate accommodation. An integrated apartment with its own bathroom, laundry and kitchen facilities is set within the house’s original master suite while the remaining sections of the house and a new extension accommodate the retired couple comfortably and with enough space to connect with the house’s other occupant and a host of nearby family when they choose to.

这所房子可以容纳一对退休夫妇和一名成年家庭成员，住在相互关联但又分开的住所中。一套有自己的浴室、洗衣房和厨房设施的综合公寓设置在房子原来的主套房内，而房子的其余部分和新的延伸部分则能舒适地容纳这对退休夫妇，并有足够的空间与房子的其他住户和附近的许多家庭联系，如果他们愿意的话。

A full height walnut veneered hallway joins the original octagonal entry vestibule to the new clerestory topped open plan living and dining space which centres the new home and provides a large light filled area to enjoy with extended family. A small snug off the main living spaces serves as a small intimate retreat for the couple day to day.

一条高度全高的胡桃木门厅与原有的八角形入口前厅连接到新的牧师顶上开放式规划的居住和就餐空间，该空间以新家为中心，并提供了一个大面积的灯饰区，供大家庭享用。一个小舒适的主要居住空间，作为一对夫妇日常的小亲密静修。
