这片土地被高大的松树覆盖了许多年，这些松树被清理干净，可以向水和景色开放。这种松木是经过碾磨而成的，是房子本身的基础，这意味着房子的结构实际上是从它所处的土地上来的。利用它们令人印象深刻的大跨度，由这些有80年历史的松树制成的巨大的木材梁和柱子被布置在一个中央庭院周围的三个长而低的翅膀中。所有三个翅膀的设计，使循环在内面，打开的庭院，这是景观，包括反射池和古代巴厘岛雕塑，并面对外部巴厘岛熔岩石。每一翼的外面都能看到潮汐河口的景色，这是一种在涨潮时流入并慢慢退去的银质水的缓缓变化的景观。

The land was covered for many years in tall pine trees, which were cleared to open the site to the water and views. This pine timber was milled and forms the basis of the house itself, meaning that the house’s fabric is literally from the land upon which it sits. Making the most of their impressively large spans, the massive timber beams and columns crafted from these 80-year-old pines were arranged in three long, low wings around a central courtyard. All three wings are designed so that circulation is on the inner face, opening onto the courtyard, which is landscaped to include reflecting pools and ancient Balinese sculptures and is faced externally with Balinese lava stone. The external face of each wing reveals views out over the tidal estuary, a slowly changing landscape of silvery water that flows in at high tide and slowly ebbs away.

中央翼包括生活，厨房和餐饮空间与粉刷木材天花板，柚木地板上的加热板和宽开门的任何一边。剩下的两个机翼适合睡觉和工作：东侧有主卧室、客人卧室和大型书房，而西侧有卧室和独立的儿童起居室。机翼通过釉面连接器连接。在亚洲生活了多年，客户大量收集的东方艺术品被整合在整个房子里，整个房子都是由柔和的白色和灰色组成的有限调色板，作为这些华丽珍宝的背景。

The central wing contains living, kitchen and dining spaces with whitewashed timber ceilings, teak floorboards over a heated slab and wide opening doors to either side. The two remaining wings cater for sleeping and working: the eastern wing contains the main bedroom, guest bedroom and large study, while the western wing contains bedrooms and a separate living area for the children. The wings are linked via glazed connectors. Acquired during years of living in Asia, the client’s extensive collection of oriental artefacts is incorporated throughout the house, which is finished in a restrained palette of soft whites and greys to form a backdrop for these ornate treasures.

这一设计的一个关键驱动因素是需要建造一座通风良好的房子，以避免纳尔逊夏日的炎热，同时又能很好地抵御严寒的冬季暴风。高水平的牧师窗户允许夏季通风，每翼和冬季，一个大型中央壁炉锚定起居室，并创造一个舒适的退却与天气。

A key driver of the design was the need to create a house airy enough to avoid the baking summer heat of Nelson and yet well insulated from the icy winter blasts. High-level clerestory windows allow summer ventilation across each wing and in winter a large central fireplace anchors the living room and creates a cosy retreat from the weather.
