架构师提供的文本描述。这所房子的形式是由场地的限制决定的。这所房子坐落在格拉特基，由陡峭的灌木丛覆盖的悬崖形成的自然边缘，向下滚到卡拉卡湾，和曲折的道路之间，房子的正面。屋外道路上的扭结反射在房屋的边界和前院的倒退线上。为了使场地最大化，房子一直建到前院的退步线，同时也加强了扭结。

Text description provided by the architects. The form of this house has been determined by the constraints of the site. The house is sited in Glendowie between a natural edge created by the steep bush clad cliff that rolls down to Karaka Bay and the sinuous road that the house fronts onto. The kink in the road outside the house is reflected in the boundary and the front yard setback line for the house. In order to maximise the site the house has been built right up to this front yard setback line and also reinforces the kink.

一层漆黑、斑驳的雪松面纱包裹着房子的正面，保护它不受它前面那条繁忙的道路的影响。屏幕还具有掩蔽南面立面上建筑物台阶形状的功能，这是高度到边界约束的结果。

A dark stained veil of variegated cedar wraps and protects the front of the house from the busy road that it fronts onto. The screen also performs the function of masking the stepped form of the building on the southern elevation, which is the result of the height to boundary constraints.

在这个扭曲的正面有两个切口或凹槽允许进入建筑物.一个是车库的门，另一个是前面的入口，它隐藏在屏幕后面的视线之外，允许隐私，也可以保护入口不受西南风的影响。

Two cut-outs or recesses in this kinked frontage allow entry into the building. One recess is for the garage door and other is for the front entry which is tucked away hidden from view behind the screen to allow privacy but also to shelter the entry from the south westerly wind.

磨砂玻璃在房子前面提供了隐私，但仍然允许西光穿透建筑物。木材屏风的阴影穿过磨砂玻璃的边缘提供了一个美丽的轮廓与下午的光线。

Frosted glass provides privacy at the front of the house but still allows western light to penetrate through the building. The shadow of the timber screens frayed edges through the frosted glass provides a beautiful silhouette with the afternoon light.

一个开放的立管，木材和钢楼梯蜿蜒通过一个三高的空间，从车库的水平到主要的生活水平，然后上升到另外两层。你对楼梯的看法是从楼梯之间的天花板上悬挂的一层不锈钢网筛和一个深色的木屏风中过滤出来的。

An open riser timber and steel stair winds up through a triple height space from the garage level to the main living level and then on up to another two levels. Your view of the stair is filtered through layers of a stainless steel mesh screen hanging from the ceiling between the stairs and a dark stained timber screen.

较低的生活水平打开了一个经过磨练的混凝土露台区，可以看到布朗岛和卡拉卡湾。

The lower living level opens out onto a honed concrete terrace area with views of Browns Island and Karaka Bay.
