架构师提供的文本描述。五十年前，我们的客户的父母和他们的朋友在这些海滩前建造了洛克伍德的一个小飞地(新西兰设计了全木品牌的成套房屋)。由于下一代已经结婚生子，他们的老洛克伍德变得太小了。本着洛克伍德的位置和规模的精神，我们在它的足迹中建造了一座新的建筑，并将它映在一个共同的屋顶下，以容纳这两个家庭。第三栋安眠建筑被安置在新的三栋建筑中，这些建筑围绕着各种各样的室外居住空间，每个家庭都可以私下使用，也可以作为一个大家庭集体使用。

Text description provided by the architects. Fifty years ago a small enclave of Lockwoods [New Zealand designed all-timber brand of kit-set houses] were built on these beach front sites by our client’s parents and their friends. As the next generation has married and had children their old Lockwood became too small. In the spirit of the location and the scale of the Lockwood, we created - in its footprint  - a new building and mirrored it under a common roof to accommodate the two families. A third sleep-out building was located to complete the new arrangement of three buildings enclosing a variety of outdoor living spaces that can be used either privately by each family or communally as an extended family.

朝南的水景(南半球方面)加剧了这种安排的挑战-开放的玻璃展馆可以住在北面-而南面的景色则是可以进入的。房子下面流淌着一条小溪，这条小溪将该遗址东南的海滩和波赫塔瓦树与西北的本土灌木丛覆盖的土地联系在一起。

A south facing water view [southern hemisphere aspect] heightened the challenge of this arrangement – open glass pavilions enable living on the north side – while views can be accessed to the south. A small stream flows under the house which ties the beach and pohutakawa trees in the southeast of the site to the native bush clad land in the northwest.
