Appreciations towards B.E Architecture for providing the following description:

B.E建筑事务所最近在悉尼郊区的霍普顿大街完成了一处改建–在原有石材建筑的外面增建居用餐空间、主卧、凉廊、泳池以及一个地下车库。

整个增改建温柔而谦逊，尊重并利用了场地的优势，将现状美丽的柠檬桉树保留，创造出建筑与大树交织并存的震撼场景。地下车库与游泳池的选位避开了树根。室外凉廊的结构和布局精心围绕大树。壮观粗挺的树干以及舒展美丽的树冠被最大限度的尊敬与享用。在一层屋顶上能够远眺悉尼的海景，屋顶的地面由碎石铺成。

A tree house with harbour views

B.E Architecture’s most recently completed project,Hopetoun Avenue, is a renovation and extension to a period home in the Sydney suburb of  Vaucluse.

Offering an intentional point of difference to the solidity of the existing sandstone house, the new addition is a gentle intervention that emerges quietly from the canopy of a beautiful, mature lemon-scented gum tree. With sensitivity to the site’s inherent strengths, the design embraces the preservation and integration of the established tree allowing it to remain the dominate feature on the property.

The covered outdoor spaces are literally built around the tree,encapsulating and framing the trunk. The timber-clad columns recede into the background and a fine line of glazing opensto the densely planted side yard for continuous access to the natural environment from within the interior spaces.

The upper level sits in the branches of the tree floating above the bottom structure to provide a unique treetop setting overlooking views to the Sydney Harbour. The roof is treated in a considered stone so that it is more like landscaping adorned with the scattering of fallen leaves.

Preservation of the tree required the structure to be physically light. Built on a steeply sloping site, the expansive addition made from thin concrete includes an underground parking garage and a large suspended pool, without damaging the tree’s root system. The suspended platform also provides a generous planted areacreating obscured views of the house.

The addition is a soft integration creating strong architectural expression that blends into its surroundings and preserves the fabric of the original building.
