架构师提供的文本描述。以前被一只小小的巴赫占据着，它位于马路对面，还有一座离水很远的房子，有很大的潜力，可以充分利用现有的景观和阳光。

Text description provided by the architects. Previously occupied by a tiny bach, the site, across the road and one house back from the water, had great potential to make the most of the available views and sun.

在巴赫住了几年后，这位客户需要一套能最大限度地利用光线和空间的房子，同时保持一定程度的隐私，并与主要为“郊区”的邻居保持一定程度的隔离。

Having lived in the bach for several years the client required a house that would maximise light and space, whilst maintaining a degree of privacy and separation from its predominantly “suburban” neighbours.

短暂的生活空间需要灵活的空间，这样它们才能相互开放，最大限度地利用每个空间，或者彼此关闭，创造一个舒适的环境。

The brief required flexibility in the living spaces so that they could open into each other to maximize each space, or alternatively be closed down from each other creating a cozy environment.

从概念上说，这座房子是由不同的形式组成的：两个黑色的木箱，坐落在一个原位混凝土基座上。这里有楼下的卧室(两间)、浴室/洗衣房和双人车库，足够容纳一艘船。

Conceptually the house is a composition of separate forms: two black-stained timber boxes sitting on an insitu concrete plinth. This houses the downstairs bedrooms (two), bathroom/laundry and double garage, large enough to accommodate a boat.

白色的阳台横跨两个盒子，将厨房/休闲用餐空间延伸到一个带有开放式壁炉的室外房间，并向西北方向俯瞰河口的景色。在对面的白色阳台空间是通过使用丹巴龙聚碳酸酯薄膜来表达的，这在中庭产生了一种照明箱效应，在保持隐私的同时，将光线带入了房子的核心。

A white veranda spans between the two boxes extending the kitchen/casual dining space into an outdoor room with open fireplace, and views of the estuary to the north-west. On the opposite side the white veranda space is expressed with the use of danpalon polycarbonate sheeting, this creates a lighbox-effect in the atrium, bringing light into the core of the house, whilst maintaining privacy.

在1950年的沙丘斗篷的启发下，生活空间悬臂的前箱体位于其混凝土基座之上，是为了俯瞰沙丘而提出的，它似乎悬挂在空间中，反过来又创造了下面的入口。

The front box housing the living spaces cantilevers beyond its concrete plinth, inspired by the 1950’s dune hopper bachs, raised in order to see over the dunes, this appears to hang in space and in turn creates the entry below.

主卧室、套间和客人卧室位于第二个箱体中，位于该部分的后面。这些房间在自己的混凝土基座上建了半层楼，感觉很私密，同时通过连接它们的靠窗的走道与房子保持联系。

The main bedroom, ensuite and guest bedroom are housed in the second box situated towards the rear of the section. Raised half a floor up on their own concrete plinth, these rooms feel private, whilst maintaining a connection to the house via the window-lined walkway that links them.

生活是开放式的，但有一种分裂的感觉，这样你就可以在整个房间里，从厨房搬到吃饭，住在不同的空间里。

The living is open-plan but with a feeling of division, so that one can in effect move from room to room within the whole, kitchen to dining to living, inhabiting the individual spaces.

一个有盖甲板从起居空间开放提供了另一个亲密的空间，在整个，俯瞰更远的海港口景观，这可以进一步开放到更近的河口景观，通过滑动百叶窗向西北墙。

A covered deck opening from the living space provides another intimate space within the whole, overlooking the more distant harbour-mouth view, this can be further opened up to the closer estuary view via a sliding shutter to the north-west wall.

这所房子是一个以白色为主的空间，有一个故意缩小的调色板，自然材料的口音，包括海洋铺设和卧室里的木板，都带来了色彩，地面混凝土地板和在家具中建造的家具补充了美学。

The house is a predominantly white-painted space with a deliberately reduced colour palette, accents of natural materials including marine ply and strandboard in bedrooms bring the colour in, ground concrete floors and built in furniture complement the aesthetic.
