架构师提供的文本描述。InverMayHouse是一个六口之家，住在维多利亚州巴拉拉特郊外的一个小镇上。该网站对区域城市有一个很大的视野，但现有的植被隐藏了从底层的房屋遗址的看法。

Text description provided by the architects. Invermay House is a home for a family of six in a small town just outside of Ballarat, Victoria. The site has a great view over the regional city, but existing vegetation hid the view from the ground floor level of the house site.

客户和建筑师都希望将起居空间定位在底层，以便将空间与周围的景观连接起来。房子的悬臂部分使我们得以保持这种景观连接，但同时也向外延伸以捕捉景观。

Both the clients and the architects wanted to locate the living spaces on the ground floor to allow the space to connect with the surrounding landscape. Cantilevering part of the house allowed us to maintain this landscape connection, but at the same time extended outwards to capture the view.

该窗体是一个简单的矩形框，已被拆分为联锁窗体。客户是一个亲密的家庭，所以我们觉得房子内部空间的开放和连接是很重要的。这种开放性有助于沟通和通风

The form is a simple rectangular box that has been split into interlocking forms. The clients are a close family so we felt it was important for the internal spaces of the house to feel open and connected. This openness assists communication and ventilation - with operable skylights allowing warm air to exit through the roof in summer.

通过对窗的水平和垂直分组，正面构图参照了内部的空间布局，选择外部材料来反映周围灌木丛的颜色，以补充岩石景观的稀薄性。这座房子位于一个易发生丛林火灾的地区，这就要求使用天然耐火的木材(有斑点的树胶覆层和黑臀作为窗框)。

By grouping windows horizontally and vertically, the facade composition references the internal spatial arrangements. The external materials were chosen to reflect the colours of the surrounding bush and compliment the rawness of the rocky landscape. The house is located in a bushfire prone area which dictated the use of naturally fire resistant timbers (Spotted Gum cladding and Blackbutt for the window frames & batten shade screens). The house uses off-form concrete wall and split face concrete block as a way of anchoring the mass to the hillside. This heaviness provides contrast to the timber and glass elements making them seem lighter in comparison.
