Narre Warren North

位于澳大利亚墨尔本郊区的一处住宅，是设计师Brad Nicholls的家，由他和妻子Sarah Woodhouse共同设计的。这是Brad Nicholls家族拥有55年的100英亩的土地。这座现代主义风格的家庭住宅实际上是Sarah和Brad的房子的第二代，他们原来的房子建于2006年不幸被烧毁。中央夯土墙是唯一幸存下来的元素之一，也是他们2012年完成的新家的核心部分。

A house on the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia, designed by designer Brad Nicholls and his wife Sarah Woodhouse. This is 100 acres owned by the Brad Nicholls family for 55 years. This modernist family home is actually the second generation of Sarah and Brad's house, which was built in 2006 and unfortunately burned down. The central rammed earth wall is one of the only surviving elements and the centerpiece of their new home, completed in 2012.

这对夫妇想要这个家模糊室内外的界限，有充足的自然光，不浪费空间。Sarah说，这个项目的细节非常自然轻松，朴实家常。Sarah将这种美学描述为“受中世纪Scandinavia和日本影响的现代国家”。“我们也非常重视回收材料，包括用回收的硬木做的窗户，这些木材是从墨尔本中央商务区spencer街的一家原始铸造厂回收来的。”

The couple wanted the home to blur the boundaries between inside and outside, with plenty of natural light and no wasted space. S: the details of the project are very natural and easy. Sarah describes the aesthetic as "a modern country influenced by medieval Scandinavia and Japan". "We also take recycled materials very seriously, including Windows made of recycled hardwood, which was recycled from an original foundry in spencer street in Melbourne's central business district."

以任何标准来看，这都是一个非凡的住宅，尤其是考虑到它的建造环境。它所在的土地也很特别，因为它是一处大型半农村地产，距离CBD只有40分钟的车程。Sarah说:“在我们这个地区，这么大的房子已经不多了。”“建造第二套房子是一个挑战，但我们觉得我们建造了一个更好的房子。”

By any standards, this is an extraordinary home, especially given the circumstances in which it was built. The land it is on is also very special because it is a large semi-rural property, only 40 minutes' drive from the CBD. 'there aren't many houses this big left in our area,' says Sarah. "It was challenging to build a second house, but we felt we had built a better one."
