尊重与融合：该项目的核心在于对现有建筑的尊重和融合。设计师没有选择推倒重建，而是选择了一种“富有同情心”的建筑干预措施，将新设计“严格地融入并围绕着”现有结构。这不仅体现在对原有建筑特征的最大程度保留和保护上，也体现在对原有材料、结构和元素的重新利用和诠释上，例如翻新现有的壁炉。这种设计理念是对历史文脉的尊重，也是对可持续发展的实践，避免了资源浪费，并为建筑注入了独特的魅力。

空间与功能的平衡：项目在空间布局上实现了开放性和灵活性的平衡。通过移除规划中的死角，将原有住宅的细胞式房间替换为更开放的平面布局，使其能够根据居住者的需求进行扩展和收缩。这体现了对居住者生活方式变化的深刻理解，并为未来提供了更大的可能性。同时，增建部分的体量以最小的材料和形式为基础，屋顶的起伏形态是对周边环境的呼应，创造了独特的视觉效果，也巧妙地提升了主要生活区的空间感。

材料与细节的统一：项目在材料选择和细节处理上展现出高度的统一性。澳大利亚采购的硬木被广泛应用于内外，包括立面开口、天花板、拱腹和甲板，室内则使用低挥发性有机化合物硬蜡油进行处理。这种对材料的统一使用，营造了和谐的视觉效果，也体现了对环保的重视。此外，对旧有建筑细节的精心修复和当代诠释，例如框缘、踢脚线和画轨等，更体现了设计师对细节的极致追求，使新旧部分在视觉上保持一致，增强了建筑的整体性和品质感。

建筑师提供的文字描述像这一时期的许多住宅一样，这所房子在其存在过程中不止一次成为建筑工地。
Text description provided by the architects. Like many dwellings from this period, the home has been a building site morethan once during the course of its existence.

在这种情况下，客户拥有布莱顿的这处房产可以追溯到20世纪70年代。随着他们家庭的壮大，他们的需求也在增长，最终他们在20世纪90年代委托建筑师约翰·卡斯伯特设计了一个扩建项目。这个项目最初是一个“小更新”，是基于一系列新兴生活环境的又一次重建迭代，这些生活环境围绕着退休的生活方式、定期的家庭聚会和有趣的孙子孙女。
In this case, the clients have owned this Brighton property going back tothe 1970s. And as their family grew so did their needs and eventually theycommissioned an extension in the 1990s which was designed by architectJohn Cuthbert. What began as a ‘small update’, this project is yet another rebuilditeration based on an emerging set of life circumstances centered around a retired lifestyle, periodic family gatherings, and entertaining grandchildren.

Plan - Ground Floor

项目简介一度似乎挑战了现有房屋的物理限制，虽然该建筑不是注册的遗产地，但我们尽了一切努力考虑改建和扩建项目如何尽可能多地保持和保护现有房屋和景观的特征。最后，作为狂热的建筑爱好者，客户们加入了进来，放弃了全新的设计，转而采用了一套富有同情心的建筑干预措施，严格地融入并围绕着现有的建筑。
The project brief at one point appeared to challenge the physical limitations ofthe existing home, and whilst the structure was not a registered heritage place,all efforts were made to consider how alterations and additions project can maintain and preserve as much of the character of the existing houseand landscape as possible. In the end, the clients, being avid architectureenthusiasts, were onboard and an all-new design was abandoned in favor of a sympathetic set of architectural interventions, rigorously stitched in and around the existing building.

通过消除规划中的死角，扩建工程旨在用更开放的分区布局取代现有住宅的细胞室，能够根据居住者不断变化的需求进行扩展和收缩。
By removing dead-ends in the plan, the extension looks to replace cellularrooms of the existing home with a more open plan zonal arrangement,capable of expanding and contracting in response to the changing needs ofthe occupant.

增建部分的体量以最小的材料和形式为基础。起伏的屋顶形式是对现场当地细粒住宅环境的直接回应，其倾斜的下侧取代了主要生活区上方的宽敞天花板高度。澳大利亚采购的硬木覆盖了穿孔的立面开口、天花板、拱腹和甲板。如果木材安装在内部，则涂上低挥发性有机化合物硬蜡油。更换后的窗户升级为高性能双层玻璃。
The massing of the additions is underpinned by a minimal approach withregard to materiality and form. Undulating roof forms are a direct response to the local fine-grain residential context of the site - the raked underside of which displaces generous ceiling heights above the main living areas. Australian sourced hardwood clads the punctured facade openings, ceilings,soffits, and decking. Where timber is installed internally, it is coated with Low VOC hard wax oils. Windows, where replaced, were upgraded with high-performance double glazing.

实现该项目的关键是现有结构和拟议设计之间的统一概念。介于时代和当代之间。现有的壁炉被翻新、保留，并成为设计方法不可或缺的一部分。框缘、踢脚线、画轨等不仅经过精心修复，还为房屋新部分的当代重新诠释提供了信息。
The key to realizing this project was the notion of unification between the existing structure and the proposed design. Between period and contemporary.Existing fireplaces were refurbished, retained, and formed an integral part of the design approach. Architraves, skirtings, picture rails, and the like wereall not only painstakingly restored, but also informed contemporary reinterpretationsin the new portions of the home.

像这样的老建筑不可否认的特点为建筑提供了不可磨灭的基础，建筑可以避免异想天开和不必要的奢侈。
The undeniable character of old buildings like this provides an indelible foundation on which architecture can avoid whimsy and needless extravagance.
