Canberra is home to some of the best examples of post-war and modernist architecture in Australia. At Empire House, the brief was for an extension that catches the sun. The result was two pavilions, sympathetic to the existing post-war house, but distinctly contemporary in their detail.

堪培拉是澳大利亚战后和现代主义建筑中一些最好的例子的发源地。在帝国大厦，简讯是为了延长一段时间来捕捉阳光。其结果是两个展馆，同情现有的战后房屋，但其细节明显当代。

The existing house is a modest, Inter-War style bungalow, situated in a well established garden. Orientation was a challenge, as the house overshadows the rear yard. At Austin Maynard Architects we do our best to avoid the simple temptation of demolishing and replacing. The aim was to retain as much of the existing character of this site as possible, and avoid the common trend of adding an imposing, unsympathetic and dominant addition.

现有的房子是一个朴素的，战前风格的平房，坐落在一个成熟的花园里。定位是一个挑战，因为房子的阴影后面的院子。在奥斯汀梅纳德建筑师，我们尽力避免简单的诱惑拆除和更换。其目的是尽可能保留该网站的现有特征，并避免增加一个令人印象深刻、不同情和占主导地位的共同趋势。

The living addition is a pavilion in the garden that maximises passive solar gain, connected to the existing house via a link. A large north facing roof window spans across the pavilion, and is protected by operable louvres. The sleeping pavilion is a similar approach of addition and link. This pavilion is visible from the street, so it was important to respect the character of the existing house, but create a distinctly contemporary piece of architecture. The white shingle form rests on a datum of red brick, responding to the materiality of the existing house.

活的附加是一个展馆在花园，最大限度的被动太阳能收益，连接到现有的房子通过一个链接。一个大的北面屋顶窗户横跨整个展馆，并由可操作的百叶窗保护。沉睡亭是一种类似的加法和链接法。从街道上可以看到这座亭子，所以尊重现有房屋的特色是很重要的，但要创造出一个鲜明的现代建筑。白色的石板形状建立在红砖的基座上，与现有房屋的重要性相对应。

The craftsmanship of the white metal shingles is the distinguishing feature of Empire House. Preferred Builders took great care in executing very refined details – particularly the concealed box gutter and the oversized shingle ridge capping. The detailing of materials internally are treated with the same care – particularly the Blackbutt timber lining.

白色金属瓦的工艺是帝国大厦的特色。首选建筑商在执行非常精细的细节，特别是隐蔽的盒子排水沟和超大的石板岭盖非常小心。材料内部的细节处理同样小心-特别是黑臀木衬里。

Empire House is an exercise of considered intervention and restraint. The two pavilions sit comfortably against the existing house, and place the inhabitants in a beautiful, established garden that is characteristic of this Canberra suburb.

帝国大厦是一种经过深思熟虑的干预和克制的行为。这两个亭子舒适地坐在现有的房子，把居民安置在一个美丽的，建立的花园，这是堪培拉郊区的特色。
