Benn&Penna l 悉尼HENLEY CLAYS之家-設計風向

Benn & Penna建築事務所翻新了悉尼下北岸的獨立式磚房Henley Clays，在現有房屋的基礎上增加了額外的房間，同時將室內空間向室外開放。大地色的磚砌定義了整體的新擴建方向，Benn＆Penna在牆壁和地板上都使用了這種材料。

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.

這座房子位於遺產保護區，許多規劃控製對建築師來說，即使是最輕微的偏離都是一個挑戰。“它需要一些謹慎的令人信服的解釋該提案的優點，”Benn解釋道。值得慶幸的是，聰明的設計獲得了回報，該項目創造了一個新的廚房、起居室和臥室空間，同時引入了與花園更無縫的連接。增加的部分被框在一個沉重的磚基座上，延伸了現有別墅的砂岩地基，形成了一係列受景觀啟發的房間，輕輕地向上穿過住宅。一個庭院坐落在舊的和新的房子之間，允許室內和室外空間從多個方向相互流動。

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.

整體式砌磚是改造房屋的關鍵，50毫米高的Simmentel銀色南方磚構成了新的牆壁和地板。Benn&Penna將砂漿顏色與磚塊完美搭配，以放大該項目的可持續發展的景觀品質。精心設計的開口穿透了建築的體量，並確保洞穴狀的內部充滿自然光。

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.

磚的運用給Henley Clay提供了一種既結實又樸實的氣質，同時在整個家庭營造了一種溫和而沉思的氛圍。悉尼製造商Project 82的家具布置為房屋原來具有的永恒的美學添加了新的趣味。

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.

一個狹窄的垂直空間包含一個通往私人主臥室的樓梯井。在房子的“鷹巢”裏，臥室裏有一扇可伸縮的窗戶，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.
