架构师提供的文本描述。客户们实现了住在海滩边的梦想，他们在一条安静的街道上买下了一个新的双层大区的一半，可以看到通往北卷曲湖和海滩的巨大风景。

房子被设计成“倒置”，楼上的起居室和楼下的卧室，自然是从高层看的最好的风景。

The house was designed “upside down”, with the living areas upstairs and the bedroom downstairs as the best views are naturally from the higher level.

整个住宅的占地面积都是开放式的，不仅可以看到这一层的风景和自然的微风，而且还会给人一种巨大的慷慨感，这在相当小的街区上是意想不到的。

The living area is open plan across the entire footprint of the house, creating not only view and natural breeze across that level but also an enormous feel of generosity, unexpected on the rather small block.

 Upper Level Plan

高层规划

议会的规定要求从相当中等的高度开始一个陡峭的角度上的挫折，目的是鼓励倾斜的屋顶形式。我们采用了不同的规则，在给定的信封内设计了一个双层屋顶，获得了光线和360度的天空景观，以及自然的微风和天花板的高度，增加了慷慨的感觉。

Council regulations asked for a steep angled setback from a rather moderate height on, aiming to encourage pitched roof forms. We employed that rule differently, designing instead a two-layered roof within the given envelope, gaining light and 360 degree sky views as well as natural breeze and a ceiling height that adds to the feeling of generosity.

所有的布局都是关于景观，集中的休息区和餐桌非常东面，以及字体平台最接近太平洋全景。厨房位于中心，适合传统的家庭生活中心。东面是一个大型甲板和烧烤区，在海风不舒服的日子里可以就餐，还有一个供孩子和家长学习的区域，目的是最大限度地利用公共区域的活动。

The layout is all about the view, concentrating the sitting area and dining table at the very eastern front, together with the font terrace closest to the panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. The kitchen sits in the centre, well positioned for the traditional hub of family life.  To the East is a large deck and BBQ area, for dining on those days of uncomfortably strong ocean winds, as well as a study area for kids and parents, aiming to maximise the activities in the common area.

在楼下，主人的卧室就坐在前面，为那些被唤醒的风景而死，就像套房的浴室一样。为孩子们准备两间卧室，但还没有拿到第一名。在后面，一个喧闹的房间打开了花园和游泳池，后者延伸到房子的深处，以获得一个体面的一圈游泳。游泳池和房子交织在一起，可以确保屋内大部分地方的水是明显的，池水的倒影在一天中的某些时候会在天花板上投射出一种有趣的光线模式。

Downstairs the Master Bedrooom sits in the front, getting those wake-up views to die for, as does the Ensuite Bathroom. Two bedroom for the kids, yet to earn the top spot. To the rear a rumpus room opens up to the garden and pool, the latter extending deep under the house in order get a decent lap’s swim. The interweaving of pool and house ensures that the water is apparent from most areas of the house, and that the reflections of the water in the pool throw a playful pattern of light on the ceilings at certain times of day.

一辆地下车库使用两辆车，不干扰定价的景观，并可容纳洗衣房和储藏区。

房子是由砖墙在较低的层，以提供舒适的高热质量和钢楼上，以加强轻盈，通风和慷慨，这意味着这一水平。

The house is constructed of brick walls on the lower level to provide the comfort of high thermal mass and steel upstairs to enhance the lightness, airiness and generosity that signify this level.

 Long and Short Sections

长和短段

在可能的情况下，优先考虑自然照明和通风，而不是人工照明和通风，以促进负责任地使用能源。其他环境措施包括雨水收集、太阳能光伏电池板和整个重点关注低能量、可回收和低排放的材料。

Priority was given to natural lighting and ventilation over artificial wherever possible in order to promote a responsible use of energy. Other environmental measures include rainwater harvest, solar photovoltaic panels and a focus on low energy, recyclable and low emission materials throughout.
