架构师提供的文本描述。受罗塞塞湾壮观的悬崖顶端遗址的启发，对客户现有房屋的改造充分利用了海岸海景。在注重循环利用和节约的情况下，许多现有的楼板和地基结构被保留下来，形成了一个现代化的四卧室住宅。

Text description provided by the architects. Inspired by the majestic cliff-top edge site in Rothesay Bay, the alterations to the client’s existing house take full advantage of the coastal sea views. With a focus on recycling and economy, much of the existing slab and groundwork structures were retained to form a modern four bedroom home.

对于外部包层，使用了彩色雪松船垂直和水平的显着组合，强调与粉末涂覆金属包层和石膏。这些，再加上低矮的屋顶，有助于破坏建筑物的形式。盒子的形式进一步与凹槽，眉毛屋顶，板条和黑色细木工相结合，提供了一个有趣的对比纹理和形式。

For external cladding, a striking combination of stained cedar shiplap vertical and horizontal, accentuated with powder-coated metal cladding and plaster have been used. These, combined with low lying roofs, help to break up the buildings form. The box forms are further integrated with recesses, eyebrow roofs, battens and black joinery providing an interesting contrast between texture and form.

环境因素影响了房屋的设计，被动通风和交叉通风为设计决策提供了依据。在上面的分裂层，四间卧室与全高度牧场滑块进入，打开全高度雪松板，为前两间卧室的居民提供光，通风和隐私。两个后卧室享受环绕甲板与甲板滑块，开放给无拘无束的景观罗塞赛湾。

Environmental considerations impacted the design of the house, with passive and cross ventilation informing design decisions. Across the upper split level, four bedrooms are accessed with full height ranch sliders which open up to full height cedar battens which provide light, ventilation and privacy for residents of the front two bedrooms. The two rear bedrooms enjoy wraparound decks with deck sliders that open to the uninhibited views of Rothesay Bay.

低层适应性重新使用现有的混凝土楼板，生活和厨房重新定位，利用被动式供暖。西边的庭院保留了一个新的卢浮宫系统，在暴露的地方提供防风林，在夏天的几个月里给厨房遮阳。主起居区采用双层全高铝细木器，具有很强的室内-室外流动，具有灵活性和适应性。

The lower floor adaptive re-uses the existing concrete floor slab, with living and kitchen repositioned to utilise passive heating. The western courtyard has been retained with a new louvre system providing windbreak on the exposed site and shade in the summer months to the kitchen. Double-glazed full height aluminium joinery in the main living area provides strong indoor-outdoor flow with flexibility and adaptability.

使用现有的参数，并遵循分层的方法，已经产生了一个现代化的住宅，舒适地栖息在附近的高和低的物业之间的悬崖顶部的地点。

Working with the existing parameters and following a layered approach, has resulted in a modern home which rests comfortably on a clifftop site between neighbouring high and low properties.
