架构师提供的文本描述。ARDesignStudio的客户正在寻找他们在南海岸悬崖顶的度假屋。在规划过程的一半时间里，在一次山体滑坡中，现有的房屋在半个晚上内发生了灾难性的破坏。

Text description provided by the architects. AR Design Studio was approached by the clients who were looking to extend their holiday home on a cliff top on the South Coast. Half way through the planning process, the existing house catastrophically broke in half one night during a landslip.

然后，ARDesignStudio的任务是设计一个全新的家；移动和破裂的想法构成了这一概念的支柱。与工程师埃克斯利·奥卡拉汉密切合作，提出了一种富有想象力的结构解决方案，以防止今后出现故障。在地面上建了一块混凝土板，然后在上面建造了一系列具有战略意义的矮墙。然后在墙壁上放置一个浮动的结构框架，作为一个可调节的木筏，以防未来的移动。在框架下，有特定的位置，机械千斤顶的位置，以便房子可以安全地重新平。

AR Design Studio was then tasked with designing a completely new home; the idea of movement and fracturing formed the backbone of the concept. Working closely with engineers Eckersley O’Callaghan, an imaginative structural solution was proposed to prevent future failure. A concrete slab was built into the ground, a series of strategically placed dwarf walls were then built on top of it. A floating structural frame was then laid on top of the walls to act as an adjustable raft in case of future movement. Beneath the frame, there are specific places for mechanical jacks to be positioned so that the house can be securely re-levelled.

设计理念从一种传统的木屋形式开始，然后分裂、扭曲和旋转，形成四个吊舱。结果是一座杂乱无章、粗糙锯成的落叶松覆盖的房子，它的剪影映衬在树木茂密的背景下。清晰界定的入口吊舱，最小的四个，引导你穿过走廊进入中央吊舱；主要的生活空间包括厨房，餐厅和客厅。广阔的滑动玻璃吸引一个人进入令人惊叹的海岸线设置，不间断的视野英吉利海峡在漂浮的木材甲板。塔式吊舱内有大型开放式主套间，位于一楼儿童卧室、公用室和一楼淋浴间之上。右边的吊舱，在房子的另一端，包括客房；一间卧室，两间双层房和一间浴室。如果不需要的话，整段房子都可以关闭。

The design concept starts as a traditional cabin-like-form that then splits, twists and rotates, resulting in four pods. The outcome is a beautifully haphazard rough-sawn larch clad house that silhouettes against the wooded backdrop. The clearly defined entrance pod, the smallest of the four, guides you through the hallway into the central pod; the main living space comprising of kitchen, dining and living room. The extensive sliding glass draws one into the stunning coastline setting, with uninterrupted views of the English Channel beyond a floating timber deck. The tower pod houses the large open plan master suite, situated on the first floor above a children’s bedroom, utility room and shower room on the ground floor. The right-hand pod, at the opposite end of the house, consists of the guest quarters; a bedroom, two bunk rooms, and a bathroom. This entire section of the house can be closed off when not required.

结果是一个有趣而平静的空间，让所有人在周末和家人和朋友一起享受周末，同时考虑到它所处的壮观和孤立的位置。

The result is a playful and calm space for the owners to enjoy weekends with family and friends whilst taking in the spectacular and isolated location in which it sits.
