架构师提供的文本描述。该项目位于澳大利亚新南威尔士州施特拉斯菲尔德(Strathfield)的黄金三角地带，是最受欢迎的地区之一。这片绿树成荫的郊区主要有战前平房和房屋，为保守的街景做出了贡献。由于现有住宅的规划效果不佳，与室外环境和维修费用的关系，业主决定重新开始，彻底重建。

Text description provided by the architects. The project is located in one of the most sought after region with exclusive real estate properties known as the golden triangle of Strathfield, NSW Australia. The leafy suburb predominantly has pre-war bungalows and houses contributing to conservative streetscapes. Due to the ineffectiveness of the existing dwelling in its planning, relation to outdoors surrounding and maintenance cost, the client has decided to start afresh by completely rebuilding.

这个项目的开始是对环境进行复杂的分析，从受保守的城市规划规则直接影响的环境开始。分析指出，规划控制措施对周围环境有积极作用，而周围环境决定了建筑物的最终形状和围护结构。“盒子屋”的建筑信封和组成由一系列的盒子组成，这些盒子以一种有组织和正式的方式相互锁在一起。然而，刚性的形成是“变形的”，在住宅中心插入了一个以竹院落形式的有机元素。这个庭院作为一个切口，为住宅的线状规划，以提供自然光的发射，并作为一个延伸到室外空间。

The beginning of this project goes through complex analysis of the environment, starting with the surroundings directly affected by the conservative town planning regulations. The analyses singled out planning controls positively contribute to the immediate surrounding which determined the final shape and envelope of the building. The building envelope and composition of “The Box House” consists of series of boxes interlocked in an organized and formal manner. The rigid formation, however, is “deformed” with the insertion of an organic element in the form of a bamboo courtyard to the centre of the dwelling. This courtyard serves as an incision to the lineal planning of the dwelling in order to provide emission of natural lights and serves as an extension to outdoor spaces.

客户，谁也是一名结构工程师，与建筑师有良好的工作关系，这有助于成功的建设，提供非常规的结构解决方案。悬挂式混凝土板和屋面护墙采用一次浇筑法施工，保证施工缝不露，达到无缝外装饰。室内也有一个定制的悬臂楼梯踏板与焊接钢板完成在温暖的美国白橡树，这似乎适合沙石墙。

The client, who is also a structural engineer, has good working rapport with the architect which contributed to the success of the built by providing unconventional structural solutions. The suspended concrete slab and roof parapet wall has been constructed with single pour of concrete to ensure no construction joints visible to achieve seamless exterior finish. The interior also feature a custom built cantilevered staircase tread with welded steel plates finished in warm American White Oak which seems befitting with the sand stone wall.

从街道，住宅被设计成良好的接地与周边的弯曲挡土墙流畅地从立面下降到景观。砂岩覆层在地面外层形成较重的单元，仔细插入木材元素，以补充住宅的土质色调。相反，锌包层提供了一个新鲜和独特的元素，这意味着新建成和标点符号，否则保守的传统街景。

From the street, the dwelling is designed to be well grounded to the immediate surrounding with the curved retaining wall fluidly descend from the façade to the landscape. Sandstone cladding formed the heavier element on the exterior ground level with careful insertion of timber element to compliment the earthy tone of the dwelling. In contrast, however, the zinc cladding provides a fresh and unique element which signifies the new built and punctuates the otherwise conservative conventional streetscape.
