架构师提供的文本描述。虽然这个项目的简介包含了一种特定的美学，但这个家的独特性是非同寻常的。居住在墨尔本的一个内郊，房子的雕塑形式已经插入到住宅景观中，上面的地板上有一个悬臂式的铝板，白天的存在是一个质地和装饰的容器盖在玻璃上。然而，到了晚上，当从里面点燃时，上层就变成了灯笼，而下一层就会掉下来，给人一种在夜空中漂浮的雕塑形式的印象。

Text description provided by the architects. While the brief for this project included a specific aesthetic, the uniqueness of this home is extraordinary. Residing in an inner suburb of Melbourne, the sculptural form of the house has been inserted into the residential landscape, with a cantilevered upper-floor clad in aluminium slats, the day-time presence is that of a textured and patinated container over glass. At night, however, when lit from within, the upper floor becomes a lantern, while the lower floor falls away to give the impression of a single sculptural form floating in the night sky.

在一个非常狭窄的地方，解决办法是在整个街区的边界上建造，有效地使新房子尽可能宽，而不会在相邻的房屋之间建立通道。

On an exceptionally narrow site, the solution was to build to the full boundary of the block, effectively making the new house as wide as possible without creating laneways between the adjoining houses.

包含在玻璃墙内的四个庭院中有两个是居住区域的延续，最大的庭院位于房产的后面。一边是一个长长的游泳池，沿着边界，而另一边则提供一个百叶窗天窗，从房子一直延伸到车库，就像一个长长的悬臂式天篷。

Contained within glass walls, two of the four courtyards read as a continuation of the living area with the largest courtyard at the rear of the property. To one side a long swimming pool follows the boundary, while the opposite side provides a louvered skylight that continues out from the house to the garage as a long cantilevered canopy.

在房子的中心，内部的庭院，包括下陷的休息室和火坑，三面用玻璃围起来。SJB建筑设计总监迈克尔·比亚克(Michael Bialek)表示：“这些空间被雕刻出来，以优化整体形式，并允许日光和通风的微观世界渗透到整个建筑之中。”在视觉上是连续的，地板保持相同的水平内外，然后让位给一系列的步骤和地板的庭院。为缓冲和懒散设计，该地区也是高度建筑的材料美学抛光混凝土。

At the heart of the house, the internal courtyard, containing the sunken lounge and fire pit, is walled on three sides by glass. “The spaces are carved out and sculptural to optimise the overall form and allow microcosms of daylight and ventilation to permeate the whole” says Michael Bialek, Design Director at SJB Architects. Visually continuous, the floor remains the same level inside and out before giving way to a series of steps and the floor of the courtyard. Designed for cushions and lounging, the area is also highly architectural in its material aesthetic of polished concrete.

上层以宽敞的卧室、套房和简洁的线条延续着这些美学。不想用栏杆或墙壁完成楼梯井，该设计结合了一个美国橡木定制的长鞋柜。这张桌子不是停在隔壁房间的门槛上，而是一直延伸到卧室里。然而，房间仍然是可分离的，有一扇滑动门穿过桌子。双倍百叶窗屏幕的街道正面的上层，减轻西风的阳光，同时限制在一个外部方面，以确保居民和邻居的隐私。

The upper floor continues these aesthetics with generously scaled bedrooms, en-suites and simplicity of line. Not wanting to finish the stairwell with a balustrade or wall the design incorporates a long bespoke shoe cabinet in American oak. Rather than stop at the adjoining room’s threshold the desk continues into the bedroom. The room however, remains separable with a sliding door that cuts through the desk. Bi-fold louvered screens to the street facade of the upper floor mitigate westerly sun while limiting the view to an outward aspect that ensures the privacy of both the residents and neighbours.

虽然稀薄的美学和多样化的功用是突出的，但使房子与众不同的是对空间的体验。在到达时，房子是非常隐蔽的，在向视野开放之前，当进入房子的旅程被揭示时，这座房子是非常隐秘的。

While the rarefied aesthetic and variable utility are outstanding, what makes the house exceptional is the experience of the space. Intimate and private on arrival, the house is very much concealed before opening to the view as the journey into the house is revealed.
