由于客户希望拥有一个墨尔本最令人向往郊区之一的个性化住宅，Studio Tate和Tecture共同构思了一个功能兼实用的家庭住宅。其结果是一个宽敞的家庭住宅，包括三间卧室，私人客用套房，两个起居区，家庭娱乐区，书房，户外餐厅，泳池和泳池房。

Driven by the client’s desire for a characterful home unfamiliar to the sweeping streets of one of Melbourne’s most desirable suburbs, Studio Tate and Tecture came together to conceive a family home of both function and flare. The result is a generous family home comprising three-bedrooms, private guest suite, dual living zones, family rumpus, study, outdoor dining, pool and pool house.

Studio Tate的室内设计巧妙地呼应室外，以简单但有效的形式寻找灵感，在实用主义与个性之间取得平衡，并确保内部和外部的联系。外部砖砌在客厅壁炉中镜像，要求使用相同的材料，而其他建筑饰面，如纹理墙砖和图形水磨石则增强了和谐感。

Studio Tate’s interior intelligently echoes the exterior, finding inspiration in simple but effective forms that balance pragmatism with personality, and ensure connection, inside and out. The exterior brickwork is mirrored in the living room hearth, calling on the same material, while additional architectural finishes such as textured wall tiles and graphic terrazzo enhance the sense of harmony.

作为家庭生活的动力，自然光的渗透至关重要。宽敞的玻璃窗和精心布置的大窗户可与外部景观相连接，并为开放式起居室，餐厅和厨房增添了广阔的光线。天窗和就餐区上方的巨大空隙增强了与元素的联系，进一步模糊了内部和外部之间的界限，并使居民可以享受豪华的空间。

Conceived as a house fuelled by family life, penetration of natural light was essential. Expansive glazing and large, strategically placed windows offer connection to the exterior landscape and fill the open plan living, dining and kitchen with vast swathes of light. Skylights and an immense void above the dining area enhance a connection to the elements, further blurring the line between the interior and exterior, and allowing the residents to bask in the luxury of space.

一层有两个相邻的起居空间，次要空间中下沉的休息室鼓励亲密感，将其功能与主要的开放空间区分开来。藏青色的地毯，柔和的灰色涂料，大胆的家具和艺术品，让人感觉就像一个地下的天堂。钢架凹槽玻璃门将两个空间分隔开来；对传统玻璃内部通道的当代诠释，以及对图案和纹理的重复主题的认可。

With two adjacent living zones on the ground floor, a sunken lounge in the secondary space encourages intimacy, distinguishing its function from the primary open plan space. Navy carpet, soft grey paint and bold furniture and artwork complete the sense of a subterranean cocoon. Steel-framed fluted glass doors separate the two spaces; a contemporary interpretation of traditional glazed internal passages, and a nod to the recurring themes of pattern and texture.
