Benn&Penna l 悉尼HENLEY CLAYS之家-设计风向

Benn & Penna建筑事务所翻新了悉尼下北岸的独立式砖房Henley Clays，在现有房屋的基础上增加了额外的房间，同时将室内空间向室外开放。大地色的砖砌定义了整体的新扩建方向，Benn＆Penna在墙壁和地板上都使用了这种材料。

Benn & Penna Architects have renovated freestanding brick cottage Henley Clays on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, adding to the existing house to both deliver additional rooms while opening the interior to the outdoors. Earth colour brickwork defines the monolithic new extension, with Benn & Penna using the material for both walls and floors.

这座房子位于遗产保护区，许多规划控制对建筑师来说，即使是最轻微的偏离都是一个挑战。“它需要一些谨慎的令人信服的解释该提案的优点，”Benn解释道。值得庆幸的是，聪明的设计获得了回报，该项目创造了一个新的厨房、起居室和卧室空间，同时引入了与花园更无缝的连接。增加的部分被框在一个沉重的砖基座上，延伸了现有别墅的砂岩地基，形成了一系列受景观启发的房间，轻轻地向上穿过住宅。一个庭院坐落在旧的和新的房子之间，允许室内和室外空间从多个方向相互流动。

The house is located in a heritage conservation area, and many planning controls made even the slightest deviation from the norm a challenge for the architects. “It took some careful convincing to explain the merits of the proposal,” explains Benn. Thankfully the clever convincing paid off, with the project resulting in a new kitchen, living and bedroom spaces, while introducing more seamless connections to the garden. The additions are framed upon a weighty brick plinth that extends the sandstone base of the existing cottage, forming a series of landscape-inspired rooms that gently ascend through the home. A courtyard sits between the old and new house, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to flow into one another from multiple directions.

整体式砌砖是改造房屋的关键，50毫米高的Simmentel银色南方砖构成了新的墙壁和地板。Benn&Penna将砂浆颜色与砖块完美搭配，以放大该项目的可持续发展的景观品质。精心设计的开口穿透了建筑的体量，并确保洞穴状的内部充满自然光。

Monolithic brickwork is key to the renovation, with 50mm tall Simmentel Silver Austral Bricks forming the new walls and floors. Benn & Penna exactingly matched the mortar colour to the bricks in order to amplify the monumental, landscape-like qualities of the project. Openings were carefully arranged to puncture the mass of the building and ensure the cave-like interiors are awash with natural light.

砖的运用给Henley Clay提供了一种既结实又朴实的气质，同时在整个家庭营造了一种温和而沉思的氛围。悉尼制造商Project 82的家具布置为房屋原来具有的永恒的美学添加了新的趣味。

The predominant use of brick gives Henley Clays a physical quality that is at once robust and earthy, at the same time creating a gentle and contemplative atmosphere throughout the home. Furnishings throughout by Sydney-based manufacturer Project 82 add to the timeless aesthetic.

一个狭窄的垂直空间包含一个通往私人主卧室的楼梯井。在房子的“鹰巢”里，卧室里有一扇可伸缩的窗户，窗外可以看到悉尼港的美景。

A narrow, dramatically vertical space contains a stairwell that leads up to the private master bedroom. The ‘hawks nest’ of the house, the bedroom has prominent views over Sydney Harbour framed by a deep-set telescopic window.
