The Cable House transforms a small, dark workers’ cottage into a contemporary family home, finding elegant solutions to the challenges posed by the dense urban environment, narrow south-facing site and heritage context.

电缆屋将一间小而黑暗的工人小屋改造成当代的家庭住宅，为城市密集环境、狭窄的南面遗址和遗产环境带来的挑战找到了优雅的解决方案。

“Cable house is a bold and contemporary addition concealed behind the charm of an existing workers cottage. The house is brought back to life with an abundance of light and ventilation, as well as a configuration of spaces more aligned with modern living.” says Tom Robertson The project addresses two seemingly competing requirements. The design must deliver light, functional spaces for a young family, and simultaneously remain sensitive to the surrounding area.

“电缆屋是一个大胆而现代的增加，隐藏在一个现有工人小屋的魅力背后。这座房子恢复了生机，光线充足，通风充足，空间结构与现代生活更加一致。“TomRobertson说，该项目解决了两个看似相互竞争的要求。设计必须为一个年轻的家庭提供轻盈、实用的空间，同时对周围地区保持敏感。

The striking gable roof ensures the lowest points adjoin neighbouring properties, a simple yet compelling solution to planning regulations.

醒目的山墙屋顶确保了与相邻房产相邻的最低点，这是一个简单而又令人信服的规划法规解决方案。

A skylight over the stairs and another above the kitchen bring natural light into the living spaces, while a window at table-height connects the dining space to a small eastern courtyard.

楼梯上方的天窗和厨房上方的另一个天窗将自然光线带入生活空间，而餐桌高度的窗户则将餐厅与东部的一个小庭院连接起来。

Working with minimal outdoor space, plants become integrated into the architecture to preserve a connection with nature. A planter box is built into the façade – vines growing around steel cables soften the minimalist lines and, over time, will create a living green exterior.

在最小的室外空间下，植物被整合到建筑中以保持与自然的联系。一个播种机盒子是建在外面-生长在钢缆周围的藤蔓软化了极简主义的线条，随着时间的推移，将创造一个生机勃勃的绿色外观。

Internally, a planter for vines is encased in joinery and steel cables form the balustrade, echoing the cables and vines of the exterior and bringing foliage into the very heart of the home.

在内部，藤蔓植物被细木工和钢缆包裹，形成栏杆，与外部的电缆和藤蔓相呼应，并将树叶带入家庭的心脏。
