架构师提供的文本描述。鸭嘴兽之家是以这片35英亩澳大利亚典型的灌木丛地蜿蜒而行的绿树成荫小溪中难以捉摸的居民命名的。现有的空地面积相当于足球场大小，在季节性热带暴雨期间，经常会出现偶尔但严重的洪水。

Text description provided by the architects. Platypus Bend House is named after the elusive resident of the verdant creek that snakes through this quintessential Australian bush site of 35 acres. The existing clearing was the size of a football field and prone to occasional but significant flooding during seasonal tropical downpours.

这所房子完全是靠钢柱从地面上升起的。由此产生的悬臂使房子具有其独特的漂浮效果。完全自我维持，水收集在雨水罐和太阳能电池板提供电力。

The house was raised entirely off the ground on steel struts. The resulting cantilever gives the house its characteristic floating effect. Entirely self-sustaining, water is collected in rainwater tanks and solar panels provide power.
