业主一直住在他在我们见面前十年建的房子里。在勇敢地听取了我们拆除现有建筑的建议后，这份简报可以重新构建，并根据客户的需要进行设计，同时充分挖掘这个特权网站的潜力，同时从附近的邻居那里创造出完全的隐私。

The owner had been living on the site in a home he built 10 years prior to our meeting. After bravely taking our advice to demolish the existing structure, the brief could be re-constructed and the design that followed tailored to the needs of the client and to unlocking the full potential of this privileged site while creating complete privacy from nearby neighbours.

房子被认为是一系列的水平板，其中包括花园，甲板和游泳池之间滑动两个质量，屏蔽垂直元素在两头的两端。这些建筑是用木板、纹理的快门混凝土建造的，内部以不同的方式表达；作为浴室、卧室和客厅的触觉和视觉背景，用于展示和储存，以及作为雕刻壁炉和其他特征的元素。在这些板子之间的空隙中形成了生活空间。

The house was conceived as a series of horizontal slabs containing gardens, decks and pools which slide between two massy, shielding vertical elements at the flanking ends. These are constructed in planked, textured shuttered concrete and expressed internally in different ways; as a tactile and visual backdrop to bathrooms, bedrooms and living spaces, for display and storage, and as elements from which to carve out fireplaces and other features. Living spaces are formed in the voids between these slabs.

主套房显着地悬挑在外部娱乐和游泳池区域，以充分利用景观。当它向地平线延伸时，它创造了主要生活水平的木板混凝土。

The master suite dramatically cantilevers over the external entertainment and pool area in order to capitalize on the views. It creates the planked concrete soffit of the main living level as it stretches out towards the horizon.

一个更精致的双皮肤屏幕-与综合车库面板-悬挂在入口前院和提供一个动态的街道外观提供隐私，同时允许光线穿透，并从后面的内部空间瞥见山。

A more delicate, double-skin screen - with integrated garage panels – is suspended over the entry forecourt and provides a dynamic street façade offering privacy whilst allowing light penetration and glimpses out towards the mountain from internal spaces behind.
