Crosshatch | 澳大利亚俄罗斯方块住宅-设计风向

该项目位于墨尔本市内西北边，是一个于2018年年初完工的小型扩建工程。客户是一对年轻夫妇，育有两个年幼子女，原有的加州风格小屋已承载不下他们的新生活，他们需要更多的活动空间。Crosshatch事务所想要在房屋后方打造出一个既动人又高效的能满足客户家庭需要的延伸空间，同时保留了原来两居室住宅备受喜爱的特点。原有的房屋平面空间也被重新划分出第三个卧室，新增的洗手间和中心起居室。

Tetris Extension in Melbourne’s inner north-west is a compact addition completed in early 2018. The clients, a young couple with two small children, had outgrown their neat Californian bungalow and needed more room to move. Crosshatch was engaged to create a sympathetic yet efficient rear extension to meet the family’s needs, while still retaining the much-loved character of the original two-bedroom home. The existing floor plan was also reconfigured to provide a third bedroom, additional bathroom and central lounge.

这是用心研究后的解决方案，最终实现的扩建部分乍看之下十分简洁，其实隐藏了考虑到建筑场地和周围环境的方方面面后得出的高度复杂性和多功能性。Crosshatch事务所所做的最成功的工作是将45平方米的面积高效利用，并将一个新厨房、餐厅和洗衣房适宜地安放到新增的建筑面积上。

A hard-working solution.The simplicity of the resulting extension belies a high level of complexity and multi- functionalism that considers every aspect of the site and its surrounds. Crosshatch’s most compelling articulation is the efficient use of 45 square metres of additional floor space to comfortably accommodate a new kitchen, dining area and laundry.

通过引入中庭和精心安排窗户位置，完成了为面南的扩建部分引入北向采光的重要任务。

Capturing northern light was a priority for the south-facing extension. This was achieved with the introduction of a central courtyard and strategically positioned windows.

空间引入外部环境，扩建部分看起来比它实际的体积要大得多，这是因为采用了不延伸到室内的极简风格的手法。即使光线穿透到室内并与保持室外的强烈联系，扩建部分仍没有延展到室内。将室外空间引入内部这个想法，无论是对客户还是Crosshatch创始人Diaz-Berrio和Mark Allan来说都是重要的，通过在餐厅设置展示室内深处的大面积开窗和开向中庭的折叠玻璃门实现了这个意图。这个生动的绿植空间连接了新旧建筑并将生活区延展到它们的界限之外，营造出一种空间感。扩建部分的设计也令各空间之间的视线联系变得可能，所以当孩子们在卧室、休息室、庭院甚至后院中玩耍时，父母总能从厨房中清楚的看到他们。

Bringing the outside in.The extension appears much bigger than it actually is, due in no small part to the interior’s minimalist arrangement, even light penetration and strong relationship to the outdoors. Bringing the outside in was important to both the clients and Crosshatch Co-founders Jaime Diaz-Berrio and Mark Allan and it’s made possible through the dining area’s large picture window with deep reveals and bi-fold glass doors that open to the central courtyard. This active green space connects old and new and extends the living areas beyond their boundaries, creating a sense of spaciousness. The design also allows for visual connection between spaces, so the parents always have a clear view of the children from the kitchen, whether they’re playing in their bedroom, the lounge room, courtyard or backyard.

新扩建部分的风格被设计成类似俄罗斯方块的形式，在平面、立面和剖面上都有体现。这些相连的体块将新旧建筑的形式和功能统一在一起。这一“俄罗斯方块”设计概念也在定制的橱柜、厨房门把手等室内细节上重复强调。

The forms of the new extension are arranged in a tetris-like configuration, expressed in the plan, elevation and section. The interlocking volumes unite the form and function of the old and new. The tetris concept is further iterated through the interior detailing, including bespoke cabinetry and custom kitchen door handles.

设计尊重周围环境，最引人注目的4.5米高的窗户使得建筑外观线条分明，同时成为观赏房子后方的高大的橡树的取景框，在房屋周围的城郊环境中用一种感性的方式将扩建部分和原有房屋联系在一起，并且通过使用回收利用的红砖来保持与房屋原有材料色调一致，同时呼应本区建筑的历史风貌。

Respecting context.The striking 4.5m high window articulates the exterior and frames the large gum tree on the rear property, sensitively grounding the extension and existing home within its suburban context. Recycled red brick was used to respect the home’s original material palette, in keeping with the area’s Heritage Overlay.

为了做到符合现代生活的每个方面，从最细微的室内细节到整个建筑的外部形式，每一步都是精心考量后的决定。

Every design decision, from the smallest interior detail to the exterior’s overall form, has been carefully considered to achieve a convincing approach to small footprint modern living.
