架构师提供的文本描述。简要地说，是要创造一个高密度，低层，公寓综合体，为内城居民提供一个“入门”的现代居住环境。该简报要求公寓之间建立联系，以产生积极的社区意识，并为居住者提供隐私的机会。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief was to create a high density, low rise, apartment complex which provides an ‘entry level’, contemporary living environment for the inner city dweller. The brief asked for apartments to relate to each other to generate a positive sense of community and offer occupants opportunities for privacy.

 Ground Floor Plan

主题网站位于克赖斯特彻奇城的“四条路”内。该地块用于高密度住宅活动，位于克赖斯特彻奇市议会2005年确定的区域内，这些地区将实现预计到2030年人口增长的“激增”。

The subject site is located within the ‘four avenues’ of Christchurch City. This site is zoned for high density residential activity and is within the areas identified by Christchurch City Council in 2005 that would fulfil the projected ‘surge’ of population growth expected by 2030.

为了寻找这一发展的营销身份，我们的客户选择了‘Wilton Close’这个名字，他解释说，我们的网站位于克赖斯特彻奇的索尔兹伯里街。他看了看英国索尔兹伯里附近的一张地图，发现了附近的一个小镇‘威尔顿’，并评论说：“威尔顿，离索尔兹伯里很近！”

In search of a marketing identity for this development, our client settled on the name ‘Wilton Close’, he explained, our site is on Salisbury Street, Christchurch. He looked at a map of the general vicinity of Salisbury United Kingdom and discovered a nearby town ‘Wilton’ and commented, “Wilton, it’s close to Salisbury!”

这座建筑最初的设计灵感来源于英国威尔特郡的同名建筑“威尔顿豪斯”(WiltonHouse)。特别是，我们从这座建筑的南面帕拉迪安(InigoJones c.)得到了灵感。1630年的今天，这个庄严的家是在中央法院周围组织起来的。

The initial design inspiration for the building was a contemporary reference to its namesake ‘Wilton House’, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. In particular we drew inspiration from the Palladian south façade of this building (by Inigo Jones c. 1630) and the way this stately home was organised around a central court.

道路的外观是由一个低调的材料，和形式的调色板。为了确保几何学的强大使用不被冲淡，正面故意没有“挑剔”的细节。低调的开口导致了一个中央法院，其中的元素，类似于道路外观，被用来在视觉上抵消重复的结构体系。在这里，每一张脸都被处理，以创造每个公寓的个性。

The road façade is crafted from an understated palette of material, and form. The façade is deliberately devoid of ‘fussy’ detail to ensure the strong use of geometry is not diluted. Understated openings lead to a central court where elements, similar to that of the road façade are used to visually counteract the repetition of the structural system. Here each face is treated to create individuality of each apartment.

色彩在整个建筑中被谨慎地使用，将人们的注意力集中在充满活力的景观、公共庭院上。生动的白色阳台穿透黑暗，低调的建筑形式。染色木材已被用作一种元素，以创造进一步的视觉浮雕。柠檬酸墙延伸从地下室作为指标，以协助导航周围的网站。

Colour is used sparingly throughout the buildings directing ones focus to the dynamic landscaped, communal court. Vivid white balconies pierce the dark, understated building form. Stained timber has been used as an element to create further visual relief. Citric walls extend from the basement as indicators to assist in navigation around the site.

这座建筑从地下室升起，是一座坚固的三层堆砌混凝土砌块结构。在结构上，该建筑提供了一个简单的几何形式和高度的重复，以保持一个经济的解决方案。大地下室以上的施工约束条件决定了砌体结构的选择。

The building rises from the basement as a solid three level structure of stacked concrete block. Structurally, the building offers a simple geometric form with a high level of repetition to maintain an economical solution. Masonry structure was chosen due to construction constraints above the large basement.

在较低层面，我们已采取措施，尽量减少与主要行人循环法院有关的私隐损失，方法是将单位开放予大厦主环形式以外的私人法院。为了保持与内部社区与较低单位的连接，在主法院附近放置了狭窄的窗户。

At the lower level we have taken care to minimise the loss of privacy relative to the main pedestrian circulation court by opening the units to private courts outside the main ring form of the building. In order to maintain a connection to the internal community to the lower units, narrow windows have been positioned adjacent to the main court.

一楼单元的特色是从建筑物延伸而来的深而坚固的阳台，以提供外部居住空间。这些露台的形式提供了屏蔽的元素，既提供了隐私，也提供了观看社区法院的机会。

First floor units feature deep, ‘solid’ balconies which extend from the building to provide external living spaces. The form of these balconies provides elements of screening to offer both privacy and opportunities to view the communal court.

上层采用金属覆盖层，从屋顶上优雅地覆盖以满足较低的结构。窗户和阳台穿透这个金属包层，打破几何图形，确保建筑的每一个视图是不同的。

The upper levels feature a metal sheet cladding which elegantly drapes from the roof to meet the lower structure. Windows and balconies pierce this metal cladding breaking the geometry and ensuring every view of the building is different.
