历史文脉的尊重与延续：凯斯特森之家改造项目最引人注目的亮点在于其对历史文脉的尊重和巧妙延续。项目并非简单地推倒重建，而是将一个废弃的维多利亚时期建筑师事务所改造成温馨的住宅。设计团队严格遵守维多利亚遗产指南，对原有建筑结构、立面和细节进行细致修复，包括屋顶、烟囱和外墙。这种对历史建筑的敬畏，不仅体现在技术层面的保护，更体现在对周围环境的尊重，尤其是在与“Crigan House”和装饰艺术公寓楼Valma的对话中，展现出设计对城市肌理的深刻理解和尊重。

新旧融合的巧妙设计：项目精髓在于新旧元素的巧妙融合。设计师在保留原有建筑结构和足迹的基础上，对非原有的“lean-to”进行了重新诠释，创造出全新的空间体验。特别是，设计通过连接新旧建筑的玻璃廊，引入充足的自然光线，改善了南向后院的采光问题。这种新旧对比、融合的设计手法，不仅提升了居住的舒适性，也赋予了建筑独特的韵味。新建筑在常春藤的覆盖下，最终将与旧建筑融为一体，体现了“新旧融合，与时俱进”的设计理念，也赋予了建筑生命力。

个性化设计的独特魅力：凯斯特森之家不仅仅是一个建筑改造项目，更是一个充满个性的艺术作品。项目充分尊重了客户的需求和喜好，将客户的个性融入设计之中。例如，厨房内部出人意料地采用了橙色，衣帽间则充满了独特的元素，包括苏格兰格子呢和来自客户家乡的镜子等。这些细节设计，赋予了建筑独特的魅力，使得住宅不仅满足了居住功能，更成为了客户个人生活品味和情感的载体。这种个性化的设计，赋予了项目独一无二的特质，也使得凯斯特森之家成为一个充满惊喜和趣味的居住空间。

建筑师提供的文字描述曾为维多利亚建筑师艾伦·鲍威尔所有；这座建筑被称为鲍威尔办公室；格伦建筑师事务所。我们的项目简介不是增加设施，而是将一个以前的办公室改造成一个家庭住宅。
Text description provided by the architects. Previously owned by Victorian Architect Allan Powell; this building was known as the office of Powell & Glenn Architects. Our project brief was not to add amenities but rather to convert a former office into a family home.

在施工过程中，现有的屋顶暴露出有问题的泄漏，建筑工程的范围扩大到包括一个全新的石板屋顶、两个烟囱的翻新和立面的重新粉刷。所有修复工程均按照维多利亚遗产指南进行，并确保了重要建筑的保护。街道正面特别独特，左边是Powell的“Crigan House”，右边是装饰艺术公寓楼Valma。在施工期间，我们了解到每周三举行的圣基尔达遗产徒步之旅。这次旅行突出了这三处房产，再次提醒我们项目的历史意义。
During construction, the existing roof revealed its problematic leaks, and the scope of the building works grew to include an entirely new slate roof, the refurbishment of both chimneys, and a re-rendering of the façade. All restoration works were done in accordance with Heritage Victoria guidelines and ensured the preservation of the significant building. The street frontage is particularly unique with Powell's 'Crigan House' to the left and the Valma, an art deco block of flats to the right. During construction, we became aware of the St Kilda Heritage walking tour, which occurs every Wednesday. The tour highlights these three properties and was another reminder of our project's historical significance.

我们重复使用砖块，主要保留了现有的足迹，同时重新诠释了非原创的“精益”。客厅围绕着一个中央花园布置，入口和房子内的各个空间都可以体验到。随着旧事物接受新事物，新事物将变得不那么突出，我们预计新建的墙壁很快就会被常春藤覆盖。我们希望房子会随着年龄的增长而变得“更好”，“有了常春藤会更好”
We reused the bricks and predominately maintained the existing footprint whilst reinterpreting the non-original 'lean-to'. The living is arranged around a central garden which is experienced upon entry and throughout spaces within the house. As the old accepts the new, the new will become less prominent, and we envision the newly built walls will soon be covered in ivy. We hope that the house will be 'better' with age, 'better with the ivy.'

新旧之间的联系可能是这些变化中最重要的因素。我们的客户对常春藤的欣赏和朝南后院的设计挑战相结合，酿造了玻璃链。我们设想我们的客户坐在岛上，在头顶的灯光下阅读报纸。经过反思，很难想象没有这种联系和光线的项目——感觉会完全不同。
The link between the old and new is perhaps the most important element of the alterations. A combination of our client's appreciation of the ivy and the design challenge of a south-facing backyard brewed the glass link. We envisioned our clients, perched at the island reading the paper with the light from above. On reflection it's difficult to imagine the project without this link and without the light - the feeling would be completely different.

整个房子都充满了惊喜。厨房内部出乎意料地排列成橙色，用同样的刷子，梯子提供了通往头顶储物的通道。“哈利波特”衣帽间由从未见过的设计元素组成。苏格兰格子呢代表我们的客户CLAN，镜子也来自我们客户的家乡。我们客户的选择使这个项目独一无二，这是房子的怪癖，也是建筑的个性。
Throughout the house are elements of surprise. The kitchen internals are lined in an unexpected orange and with the same brush, a ladder offers access to overhead storage. The 'Harry Potter' cloakroom consists of design elements never to be seen together. Scottish tartan represents our clients, CLAN, the mirror is also sourced from our client's hometown. Our clients' selections are what makes this project unique, it's the quirks in the house and it's the personality in the architecture.
