它是为一对有两个年轻女孩的夫妇设计的，完全符合基督教协进会地区计划大楼的封套。业主被吸引到现场，因为他们的看法和想法被周围的现有植被。

It was designed for a couple with 2 young girls and to fit entirely within the WCC District Plan building envelope. The owners were attracted to the site because of the views and the thought of being surrounded by the existing vegetation.

我们的解决办法是把卧室的水平挖回到山坡上，并以一种微妙的有机方式来考虑它，在工地上蜿蜒而行，前后突出，让光线和视野进入，让每一间卧室都有不同的特征。卧室的水平是用黑色的垂直波纹铁皮覆盖，视觉上锚定形式到现场，目的是发展与已建立的树木的关系。

Our solution was to excavate the bedroom level back into the hillside and consider it in a subtly organic way, meandering across the site, jutting in and out, allowing in light and views and giving differing characters to each of the bedrooms. The bedroom level is clad in dark vertical corrugated iron, which visually anchors the form into the site and is intended to develop a relationship with the established trees.

它被视为一个平台或基地，以较轻的形式以上的生活水平，它流经卧室的水平，并围绕着一个现有的小平地草坪和花园的西北方向。从草坪上穿过房子，再到远处的海港。

It is treated as a podium or base to the lighter form of the living level above, which flows across the bedroom level and wraps around a existing small flat area of lawn and garden to the northwest of the house. The floor level steps down towards the view and views are available from the lawn through the house and out to the harbour beyond.

房子有一个电梯之间的车库和卧室的水平之间的变化(尚未安装电梯平台)，作为一种战略，以证明未来的建筑物价值。经过仔细考虑后，人们认为，在公路上建造这么大、造价如此之高的房子，就更有可能通过包括一部电梯来避免过度资本化。

The house has a lift shift between the garage and bedroom levels (with no lift platform installed as yet) as a strategy to future proof the buildings value. After much consideration it was thought that by building a house of this size and cost well above the road there stood a better chance of not over capitalizing by including a lift.
