架构师提供的文本描述。这是一个被一个巨大的花园包围的家园，它汇聚在一棵巨大的战前雨树上，它的壮观让它的存在深深植根于房子本身的建筑之中。在这座房子里，有无数次与大自然的相遇，但仍然停留在室内。建筑物的建筑布局允许从所有主要空间观看特征树，从其两层中的任何一层一直到地下室。

Text description provided by the architects. This is a home surrounded by a vast garden that converges at a colossal pre-war rain tree with such magnificence that its presence is ingrained within the very architecture of the house itself. Throughout this home are numerous encounters with nature whilst still being very much indoors. The architectural placement of the building allows for the viewing of the feature tree from all of the main spaces, from either of its two storeys right down to the basement.

First Floor

入口有一道花岗岩墙，由散乱的板子组成，形成一系列的洞，巧妙地遮住花园的全景，同时保持一种欢迎的气氛。在车道上，一个巧妙地放置了水的功能，把它下面的下陷的空调平台隐藏了起来。主要的生活区和就餐区位于地面，允许空间无缝地进入花园和伴随的膝池。到了晚上，池底的点点灯光在水中嬉戏地跳舞，模仿着星空的夜景。一个优雅的螺旋楼梯，通往上层，给生活区一个视觉中心，同时也促进垂直循环。

A granite wall at the entrance made from interspersed panels creates a series of holes that subtly shield the garden from full view whilst maintaining a welcoming atmosphere. In the driveway, a cleverly placed water feature discreetly hides the sunken air-conditioning ledge just beneath it. The main living and dining areas are housed on ground level, allowing the spaces to transit seamlessly out into the garden and accompanying lap pool. By evening, dots of light on the pool's base dance playfully in the water, mimicking a starry night scene. An elegant spiral staircase leading to the upper floor gives the living area a visual centre whilst also promoting vertical circulation.

Second Floor

二楼是一个舒适的家庭区域，两边都是卧室。主卧室宽敞的内饰让它可以容纳一个书房办公室，以及一个可以通过将其与浴室分隔开的隔板来扩大的步入式衣柜，从而创造出一个大大小小的闺房。孩子们的房间坐在地板的对面，每个房间都是对方的镜像。此外，一个玻璃覆盖的阳台，横跨整个地板，揭示了惊人的全景前面提到的雨树。

On the second floor sits a cosy family area flanked by bedrooms on either side. The master bedroom's spacious interiors allow it to accommodate a study office as well as a walk-in wardrobe that can be expanded by drawing back the partition separating it from the bathroom, thus creating a generously sized boudoir. The children's rooms sit on the opposite side of the floor, each a mirror image of the other. In addition, a glass-covered balcony that spans the entire length of the floor reveals a breathtakingly panoramic view of the aforementioned rain tree.

一层平面图

由于充分利用了场地的倾斜字体，地下室的设计使其能够打开花园的较低部分，从而使其感觉几乎就像在地面上一样。这一层是专门用于娱乐和放松，有水疗室，电影室，大型多功能厅，以及一个室外烧烤区。自成一体的服务区也保留在这里，有一个迷你小厨房和睡觉的房间可以启动。再一次，室外元素渗透到房子的这一部分，通过一个水的特点，不断地流动在化妆室和水疗室，从而获得连续性跨越不同的空间。明智地放置天窗也有助于将充足的阳光带入空间，并自然地照亮地下室。有趣的是，这些天窗还提供了一个壮观的清晰的看法雨树，甚至从这里。

Making good use of the site's sloping typography, the basement was designed such that it opens up into a lower section of the garden, thus making it feel almost like being on ground level. This floor is dedicated to entertainment and relaxation, with a spa room, movie room, large multi-purpose hall, as well as an outdoor barbecue area. The self-contained service quarters are also kept here, with a mini kitchenette and sleeping quarters to boot. Again, outdoor elements permeate this section of the house by way of a water feature that flows continuously under the powder room and spa room, thus deriving continuity across the various spaces. Sensibly placed skylights also help to bring ample sunlight into the spaces and brighten up the basement naturally. Interestingly, these skylights also provide a spectacularly clear view of the rain tree even from here.
