凯恩顿住宅是70年代砖宅的扩建部分，砖宅位于坡地上的花园和异国树木之中。简单来说，扩建部分是主卧套房，带有休闲露台，露台下方是停车位和工作间。然而，设计的目标不仅仅是创造可用的空间。业主想要改造现有房屋，以便他们能够原居养老并且以后可以安心地管理房屋和花园，他们希望室内采用天然的材料和丰富的材质，可以唤起画廊般的体验，为他们的艺术品提供生动的背景。

Kyneton House is an addition to a seventies brick home located on an elevated acre site with established gardens and mature exotic trees. Simply described the addition is a main bedroom suite with associated deck for entertaining with a cover carport and workshop under. The ambition for the design however was more complex than merely the usable spaces created. The owners were looking to adapt the existing home so that they could age in place, a strategy that would provide peace of mind as they continue their stewardship of the house and significant gardens for years to come. Internally they desired natural materials and a rich material immersion that evoked a gallery experience to provide a dramatic backdrop to their art collection.

设计师设计出细长的黑色矩形体块，其悬挑超出景观并延伸至周围的树冠。简洁的黑色体块使人想起Tony Smith和Anthony Caro的金属雕塑，黑色表面为周围绿植提供了隐性背景。悬挑下方形成车库，通向新建筑的入口，电梯使居住者无需通过楼梯就可以到达原有房屋的主要生活区和新卧室套房。

Our response was to propose an elongated black rectangular form that cantilevers beyond the landscape and reaching out the surrounding tree canopies. The simple black bar evoking the metal sculptures of Tony Smith and Anthony Caro, the black cladding providing a recessive backdrop to the surrounding greenery. The cantilevered from creates a undercover carport that leads to a new entry into the home and an elevator that carries you up to the main living level of the existing house and also the new bedroom suite, eliminating the need to stairs.

新的室内空间具有丰富的材料，既使室内外材质产生联系，又满足业主尽量减少涂刷墙面的要求。与卧室相连的遮蔽露台可以通往更衣室和画廊，它们之间没有清晰的界限，有意地模糊了新空间的分区及其与原有房屋的连接。

Internally the new spaces have a rich material presence creating a connection from external to internal materiality while also satisfying the clients brief for a minimum of painted surfaces. The separation of the new spaces and connection to the existing home is intentionally blurred with screened deck leading to bedroom leading to dressing room and gallery without clear delineation.

凯恩顿住宅探索了两个看似截然相反的设计目标，一个是针对业主原居养老的策划，一个是针对呼应景观和花园的雕塑般建筑的需求。设计回应了原有房屋和花园，确保了业主可以在日后多年内继续享受它们。

Kyneton House explores two design objectives that are seemingly opposite ends of the spectrum, an aging in place strategy for the owners and a request for sculptural response to landscape and garden. The design responds to the context of the original home and significant gardens while ensuring that the owners can continue to enjoy them for many years to come.
