由于房屋的海拔和位置都受到南风和北风的影响，我们的目标是创造各种室外空间，供人们在一天中不同的风中和不同的时间坐着。我们创造了一个“H”形状的计划，包括南北两面的外部空间，这些空间是通过非常玻璃的中央客厅连接起来的。

Because of its elevation and location the house is hit by both the southerly and northerly winds, we aimed to create a variety of outdoor spaces to offer options for sitting in, in the different winds and at different times of the day. We created an ‘H’ shaped plan containing both south and north facing outside spaces that are connected through the very glazed central living room.

北面的户外区域被挖掘到山坡上，这样种植时它就会过滤，并鼓励风从山顶吹过。卧室的位置有多种不同的方式，以获取不同方面的景观，在房子的东端有2间儿童房，位于活动区周围，作为额外的居住空间。

The north facing outdoor area is excavated into the hillside so that when planted it will filter and encourage the wind to flow over the top. Bedrooms are positioned in a variety of different ways to pick up the different aspects of view, with 2 children’s rooms at the east end of the house located around an activity area as extra living space.

 Ground Floor Plan

房子有两个主翼，中间有两层。在西边，卧室位于主要起居区，而在东面，卧室和较小的起居空间位于车库上方。再往西，草坪对面是一座客房，建于稍后的日期。

There are 2 main wings to the house with a split-level between. To the west bedrooms sit over the main living areas and to the east, bedrooms and smaller living space sit over the garage. Further to the west across the lawn is a guest house built at a later date.

房子的每一翼都包裹在一个波纹的彩色钢护套中，屋顶沿着东墙和西墙延伸，并在连接两翼的连接路上相遇。

Each wing of the house is wrapped in a corrugated color steel sheath in the form of a roof that extends down the east and west walls and meets over the link-way joiningthe 2 wings.

业主对颜色感兴趣。我们已经在昂贵的生活空间探索了更明亮的颜色，在卧室区域探索了更微妙的自然色彩。

The owners have an interest in colour. Togetherwith the clientswe have explored brighter colours in the sparer living spaces and more subtle natural colours in the bedroom areas.
