架构师提供的文本描述。这位建筑师选择为他自己的工作室建造一座独立的建筑，而不是为一座具有标志性的25年历史的高架钢和玻璃房屋，进行一项艰难的扩建工作。

Text description provided by the architects. Rather than undertake a difficult addition to a heritage listed, iconic 25 year old elevated steel and glass house, the architect chose to build a separate structure for his own studio.

该花园结构为双层圆形塔，用金胶合板包裹，硬木板覆盖板缝，表示垂直墙钉和辐射屋顶梁的木框架结构。

This garden structure is a two level circular tower wrapped in golden plywood sheeting, with hardwood battens covering sheet joints and expressing the timber frame structure of vertical wall studs and radiating roof beams.

通过重复松木胶合板和硬木板的细节，将结构表达的动态性传递到内部。俯瞰树梢和远处的海洋，营造出一个生机勃勃而又宁静的空间。

The dynamics of the structural expression is carried through to the interior, by repeating the detail of pine plywood and hardwood battens. Views of the tree tops and the sea beyond enhance a vibrant yet peaceful space.

内部是结合结构系统和外部外观开发的，所有这些都是集成的，书架和窗户都被放置和详细地按照屋顶和墙壁结构发展的模式。

The interior was developed in conjunction with the structural system and external appearance such that all are integrated, with bookshelves and windows all positioned and detailed to follow the pattern developed from the roof and wall structure.

硬木板定义匹配的胶合板的天花板和地板。这种图案所创造的锐度在定制圆桌的细节中重复了一遍。

Hardwood battens define matching plywood segments of the ceiling and floor. The sharpness created by this patterning is repeated in the detailing of the bespoke circular table.

这片土地的坡度允许通过一座木质桥面的桥梁进入工作室，而一条弯曲的木材铺装的小路通向这座房子。

The slope of the land allows access to the studio via a timber decked bridge, with a curved timber decked path leading to the house.

没有人工加热或冷却。在夏季的沿海环境中，垂直的百叶窗可以提供充足的交叉通风，而扁平的“盖子”屋顶则提供了遮荫。冬季低太阳提供冬季暖气。

There is no artificial heating or cooling. Vertical banks of louvres provide ample cross ventilation in the coastal environment in summer, with the flat “lid” roof providing shade. Low winter sun provides winter heating.

建筑师的工作原则是设计师应该能够建造他们的作品，建筑师自己负责所有的建筑(电气除外)，包括设计和建造圆桌。

Working on the principal that designers should be able to build their creations, the architect undertook all construction himself (except for electrical) including designing and building the circular table.
