Spotted Gum House的前身是20世纪早期的一座平房。Alexander & CO. 团队在原有基础上进行了修复，并向后延伸出一个宽敞的开放空间。设计团队为房子的每个部分都设计了独特的建筑语言，最终打造出这样一个传统和现代建筑结合的住宅。Spotted Gum House是永恒的典范，从过去中脱颖而出，建立在现在，为未来而设计。

The house features a double-story rear extension on an early 20th-century bungalow. Each p of the home – the restored front, the new upstairs, and the new downstairs – was designed with a unique architectural language, making the process more streamlined. What we see as a result is a marriage between both traditional and contemporary architecture to create one unified design vernacular. Spotted Gum House by Alexander & CO. is a paragon of timelessness; emerging from the past, built in the present, designed for the future.

全屋以白色为主基调，这样可以更好地包容多样的选材：灰色大理石、黑钢、染色橡木和灰白色砖。谈及此，Alexander & CO. 的总监Jeremy Bull指出，他们致力于以现代主义为参考，为当代澳大利亚的建筑语言赋予生命。

The home’s restrained material palette – grey marble, black steel, stained oak and off-white brick – departs from its otherwise unrestrained scale. This comes across not as jarring but rather sensible and balanced. When speaking about the materials, Alexander & CO. director Jeremy Bull notes that they “endeavoured to bring a contemporary Australian architectural language to life with a modernist reference”.

受Lê Corbusier启发的“烟囱”连接了上下两层，这是一种大胆的建筑表现。

A Lê Corbusier inspired ‘chimney’ fuses the lower floor to the upper floor, creating a bold architectural expression.

厨房和用餐区的地板、天花板以及墙壁的材料差异为这个空间创造了动感和多样性。

Contrasting materials for the floors, ceiling and walls creates variety and movement in the communal space.
