Wowowa的墨爾本住宅凹形磚擴建工程
Wowowa adds fluted-brick extension to refurbished Melbourne house
墨爾本當地建築事務所Wowowa對一座維多利亞時代的住宅進行了改造，增加了扇形磚牆的立面體量，其中包含了開放式起居空間。
Local architecture studio Wowowa has renovated a Victorian house in Melbourne and added an extension with a scalloped brick facade that contains an open-plan living space.
這座維多利亞風格建築有著裝飾性的磚石紋理，名為“tiger prawn”，業主希望後部的擴建部分保持與建築主體一致的風格。
The practice was invited to oversee the modernisation of a property in the city's Fitzroy North neighbourhood by a client who had watched one of a series of YouTube videos produced by Wowowa about improving Melbourne's heritage properties.
The house's original Victorian frontage features a decorative brickwork pattern known colloquially as "tiger prawn" due to its predominantly pink colouring, which the owners wished to complement with a similar-looking rear extension.
建築師說：“該項目需要我們通過現有視覺要素的統一感和詮釋方法，從後方擴建體量中表達建築前方的形態、工藝和裝飾感。”
該項目的第一個步驟是設計一個擴建體量，該體量能夠反映建築前側的規劃特徵和比例。建築師將其設計成扇形，這樣能夠充分利用陽光，並且內部空間也足夠靈活。
"The brief called for a mirroring of the robustness, craft and ornament of the front out the back, in the spirit of cohesion and reinterpretation of the existing visual language," said the architects.
The first step was to create an extension that mirrors the plan and proportions of the terrace frontage. This volume was then sculpted to create the scalloped form, which provides optimal daylight conditions and creates flexibility in the internal spaces.
建築的凹槽立面看上去如同蝦的背脊，建築師運用了灰綠色磚石，從而表達了爬行動物天然色彩的意向。
磚石擴建體量位於原有建築的轉角部分，距離場地的邊緣只有1米，這讓周邊居民也能夠欣賞到建築的幾何之美，同時也形成了北向大開窗。
立面上的窗戶經過重新設計，並且結合了懸掛著植物的陽臺。
The fluted facade is informed by the ridges on a prawn's shell and is clad in brickwork with grey and green hues that also evoke the crustacean's natural colouring.
The masonry extends around a corner just one metre from the boundary of the narrow site. This allows the neighbours to appreciate its dramatic geometry and also facilitates the integration of large north-facing windows.
Windows are set back into the facade and balconies containing hanging plants are integrated into the recesses.
現有的建築內部包含了一系列狹長且採光不佳的房間，建築師將這些空間進行了改造，形成更加現代化的開放式空間。
建築師設計了延伸向花園的空間，使各個空間圍繞著突出庭院而排布。
建築師說：“改造之後，業主可以在廚房、起居室、餐廳等各個功能空間中感受到自然的氣息，這些空間都通過庭院而限定。”
The existing Victorian interior comprised a typical sequence of cramped and dark rooms, which were mostly removed to create a more contemporary open-plan space.
The reconfigured plan includes a seamless space that extends towards the garden and contains a series of distinct zones arranged around a protruding courtyard.
"The whole family can now be in any kitchen, living or dining nook, divided by courtyard and spatial play, but feel a sense of retreat," the studio added.
全新的起居空間包含有廚房和休息區，分別位於V形採光井的兩側，周圍環繞著弧形玻璃牆體。
這種手法也將內部空間貫通起來，增強了視覺連續性，南側的空間便於自然採光與通風。
The new living space accommodates a kitchen and lounge positioned on either side of the V-shaped light well, which is enclosed by curving glazed walls.
This intervention helps to break up the overall mass of the space whilst maintaining visual continuity throughout the interior. Its position on the southern boundary also allows daylight and natural ventilation to enter the room.
在樓上，建築師在廚房頂上設置了另一個室外陽臺空間。
使用者可以通過臥室的玻璃門進入陽臺，抑或是從擴建部分臥室旁側的走廊進入。
在今年早期，Austin Maynard Architects事務所也將一座破舊的馬廄改造成家庭住宅，而Ritz & Ghougassian事務所則為郊區的咖啡館設計了紅色調的室內空間。
An additional outdoor space on the upper floor is achieved by incorporating a small deck on the roof above the kitchen.
This terrace is accessible from an existing window off one of the bedrooms, or using a small set of steps leading from a corridor next to a new bedroom in the extension.
Earlier this year Austin Maynard Architects overhauled a dilapidated horse stable in Fitzroy to create a family home, while Ritz & Ghougassian created red-toned interiors for the Bentwood cafe in the suburb.
