可持续性与经济性：Wilam Ngarrang项目通过最小干预改造，实现了显著的环境和经济效益。项目保留了现有建筑结构，仅更换门窗并结合密封涂料，大幅提升了气密性。同时，引入屋顶雨水收集、隔热、高效供水设施和33kW太阳能系统等措施，预计可使租户账单减少80%以上。这种改造方式不仅降低了建筑能耗，还减少了新建筑建设带来的资源消耗和碳排放，展现了可持续发展的理念。

社会与社区价值：该项目不仅关注建筑本身的改造，还致力于增强社区意识和社会效益。通过设置共享菜地、堆肥设施和公共社交空间，项目为居民提供了交流与互动的机会，尤其是为单身家庭创造了建立友谊的平台。此外，通过与Home Ground合作，以低于市场价格出租两套公寓，帮助有困难的人进入租赁市场，体现了建筑对社会公平的贡献。

设计与美学：Wilam Ngarrang项目在功能提升的同时，也注重美学设计。建筑通过保留原有织物，以谦逊的方式营造出温暖、热情和美丽的居住空间。Wurundjeri艺术家Alex Kerr的壁画进一步公共提升了空间的艺术氛围，使建筑不仅是居住的场所，更是文化的载体。这种设计方法展示了如何通过适度的干预，赋予老建筑新的功能和美学价值，为城市更新提供了新的思路。

建筑师提供的文字描述该项目的主要目的是创建一个财务上可复制的低环境影响改造模型，以降低居民的运营成本。更广泛地说，该项目是一个原型，旨在探索和调查改造墨尔本市中心现有公寓楼的社会和经济效益。
Text description provided by the architects. The key intention of this project is to create a financially replicable model of a low environmental impact retrofit that reduces operating costs for inhabitants. More broadly, the project is a prototype to explore and investigate the social and financial benefits of retrofitting existing apartment blocks in Melbourne's inner city.

已完成的项目是菲茨罗伊一栋20世纪70年代公寓楼的最小干预改造，重点是提高热性能，延长建筑寿命，增加租户的便利设施。重要的是，还强调创造一种家庭舒适感，以自己谦逊的方式为人们创造温暖、热情和美丽的地方。该项目的设计是Kennedy Nolan和Finding Infinity之间的合作伙伴关系，他们经常合作各种项目。
The completed project is a minimal-intervention retrofit of a 1970s apartment block in Fitzroy concentrating on improving thermal performance, extending the lifespan of the building and increasing amenities for tenants. Importantly, there is also an emphasis on creating a sense of domestic comfort, on making places for people which are warm, welcoming and beautiful, in their own modest way. The design of the project was a partnership between Kennedy Nolan and Finding Infinity, regular collaborators on a diverse range of projects.

Wilam Ngarrang是一个规模不大的建筑项目，重点是保留和再利用现有的织物。最后，只更换了门窗，但当与密封的石灰基涂料结合使用时，这使我们能够大大提高气密性。其他举措包括屋顶雨水收集、屋顶和墙壁隔热、实施高效的供水配件和固定装置，以及在建筑屋顶安装33kW的太阳能系统。每套公寓还安装了热回收通风装置。据估计，由于这些纳入，租户的账单将减少80%或更多。
Wilam Ngarrang is a modest construction project with an emphasis on retaining and re-using existing fabric. In the end, only the doors and windows were replaced but when combined with an airtight lime-based paint, this allowed us to massively improve air-tightness. Other initiatives included rooftop rainwater collection, roof and wall insulation, the implementation of efficient water fittings and fixtures and the installation of a 33kW solar system on the rooftop of the building. A heat recovery ventilation unit was also installed in each of the apartments. It is estimated that the reduction in bills for tenants as a result of these inclusions will be 80% or more.

我们的工作还包括支持建筑内社区意识的元素，甚至为更广泛的社会做出贡献。在现场，景观得到了特权和增强，包括一块共享的菜地和建筑的堆肥。公共洗衣房被提升为一个社交空间，一张大共享桌子为人们提供了一个聚会的平台，这为主要单身家庭之间建立友谊提供了机会。Wurundjeri艺术家Alex Kerr绘制了一幅壁画，带领居民来到这个公共空间。
Our work also includes elements to support a sense of community within the building and even contribute to wider society. On the site, the landscape was privileged and augmented and included a shared vegetable plot and composting for the building. The communal laundry was elevated into a social space, and a large shared table provided an armature for being together which provided an opportunity to build fellowship amongst the predominantly single-person households. Wurundjeri artist Alex Kerr has painted a mural that leads residents down to this communal space.

该建筑被Wuundjeri土地委员会命名为Wilam Ngarrang，并向第一民族组织“支付租金”，通过与Home Ground组织合作，其中两套公寓以低于市场价格出租，以帮助那些难以进入租赁市场的人。
The building was named Wilam Ngarrang by the Wuundjeri Land Council and is "Paying the Rent" to first nations organizations and through partnering with the organization Home Ground, two of the apartments are being rented out at below-market rates to assist those who are struggling to enter the rental market.

Wilam Ngarrang代表了一种经济高效的解决方案，可以大幅减少温室气体排放，具有低能耗、交付速度快、对现有社区干扰最小等重要额外好处，并且比具有类似性能的同等新建筑更便宜。当这些好处与积极的社会成果和坚定的设计方法相结合时，就有可能看到现有建筑如何在功能和美学上拥有新的生活——将能耗的显著降低与高质量、甚至美丽的住宅空间相结合。希望这个项目能够展示建筑师如何通过部署他们对所有建筑可能性的独特理解，以新的方式产生积极的影响，以及适度的干预如何产生巨大的影响。
Wilam Ngarrang represents a cost-effective solution to making major cuts in greenhouse gas emissions with the important additional benefits of low embodied energy, speed of delivery, minimal disruption to existing neighborhoods and is cheaper than an equivalent new building with similar performance. When these benefits are combined with positive social outcomes and a committed design approach, it is possible to see how existing buildings can have a new life functionally and aesthetically – combining a significant reduction in energy consumption with good quality, even beautiful domestic space. It is hoped that this project demonstrates how Architects can make a positive impact in new ways by deploying their unique understanding of the possibilities in all buildings and how modest intervention can make a big impact.
