架构师提供的文本描述。原来的建筑坐落在一个多元化的住宅区里，是一本破旧的、双正面的维多利亚式房屋书-- 南侧的一栋双层露台房子结束了。房子位于一个角落的分配，紧贴在主要街道和一个巷道，使它的三角形形状，向后。作为一座列入遗产清单的建筑，抢救严重失修的房屋正面势在必行。

Text description provided by the architects. Nestled in a diverse residential neighbourhood, the original building was a dilapidated double-fronted Victorian house book-ended by a double-storey terrace house on its south side. The house is located on a corner allotment, pinched in by the main street and a laneway which gives it its triangular shape that tapers towards the rear. As a heritage listed building, it was imperative to rescue the front of house which was in a severe state of disrepair.

房主给我们介绍了一份简报，要求我们在使用邻居的双高边界墙的同时，给我们提供一套 3 居室的家庭住宅，并在房产的后部引入第二层的音量。

The homeowner presented us a brief that requested a 3-bedroom family home whilst making use of the neighbour’s double-height boundary wall to introduce a second story volume to the rear of the property.

与原来的房屋复杂而昏暗的布局形成对比的是，新的延伸部分必须是明亮的，采用宽敞的感觉，并与前面的遗产建筑无缝地结合在一起。

In contrast to the convoluted and dimly-lit layout of the original house, the new extension had to be well-lit, adopt a spacious feel, and combine seamlessly with the front heritage building.
