项目坐落于充满浓厚现代主义氛围的考尔菲尔德，前身是一栋建于 20 世纪 70 年代的双层错层住宅，项目的内容即对这座住宅进行重新的设计。

设计追溯了现代主义住宅建筑的起源，同时根据家庭日益增长的生活需求对住宅进行了必要的扩建。

在获得了原场地南侧地块的建设权后，曾仅需对场地上的双层住宅的扩建任务，发展为对两块场地的整合，以及再在南侧场地上扩建出一栋单层结构。

Located in Modernist Caulfield, the original structure was a double-storey, 1970s, split-level residence in need of reimagining. Referencing the home’s Modernist beginnings while designing a contemporary extension for a growing family was key to the brief but, with the acquisition of a second parcel of land to the south, what began as a single-site, double-storey addition morphed into a double-site, single-level extension.

景观设计师在项目设计早期就开始参与进来，旨在保证扩建部分与场地整体氛围的和谐与视觉联系。原住宅的混凝土立面细节以拱门的形式延伸出来，以在两栋建筑之间形成呼应，同时也形成了室外休闲区的主要外墙。为了避免落入在原建筑后方增加双层扩建结构的设计俗套，建筑师选择采用一条玻璃连桥将居住者引导至住宅的主翼。

Landscape architects were engaged early in the design phase to ensure an integrated vision for the expanded site. As a primary response, the original concrete façade detail has been stretched away from the original building to form the ‘skin’ of the master retreat. Eschewing what has become a conventional strategy, that is, to add a double storey to the rear, this master wing is accessed by a private glass bridge at ground level.

一道带有拱形门洞的外墙将主卧内的床隐藏起来，并且保持了室内与室外之间自然和光线的联系，这种理念同时也是设计中始终优先的重点。作为一栋家庭住宅，建筑与花园之间的渗透增加了人们乐于居家办公的可能，通往主人寓所的玻璃走廊被证明是一个很好的踱步区域。当孩子们在花园里玩耍吵闹时，工作室内的专注氛围也不会受到打扰。
