该设计使用现有花园的不规则形状，将拟议中的房子塞进一个不起眼的三角形口袋到花园的一侧，保持从主房子的长视野。建议的房子的方向是尽量减少俯瞰/从公寓发展到东方，并尽量利用下午和傍晚的阳光，向西方向。

The design uses the irregular shape of the existing garden to tuck the proposed house into an unassuming triangular pocket to the side of the garden that maintains long views from the main house. The proposed house is orientated to minimise overlooking to/from an apartment development to the East and maximizes afternoon and evening sun by being orientated West.

我们的客户的雄心，有一个轻松的，非正式的生活空间系列与不对称的数量创造了良好的工作。与园林紧密的物理联系旨在将内部空间的平静现代主义延伸到园林背景上。

Our client’s ambition to have a relaxed, informal series of living spaces work well with the asymmetric volumes created. The strong physical connection to the garden aims to extend the calm modernism of the internal spaces out to the garden backdrop.

一个高度绝缘的建筑织物和一个综合的热回收通风系统，确保内部空间加热的需求保持在最低限度。太阳能电池板提供了大部分热水需求，一个完整的雨水收割机有助于冷水供应。

A highly insulated building fabric together with an integrated Heat Recovery Ventilation System ensures the demand for internal space heating is kept to a minimum. Solar water panels provide most of the hot water demand and a fully integrated rain-water harvester contributes to cold water supply.

外部材料的垂直板条，西红雪松和深灰色，平滑渲染微妙地融合了房子周围的环境。内部使用的深色美国核桃，抛光混凝土，辅之以非白色墙漆和深板岩灰色完成浴室区域给项目一个温暖的材料丰富。

The palette of external materials of vertical batten Western Red Cedar and dark grey smooth render subtly blends the house into its surrounding environment. Internally the use of a dark American Walnut, polished concrete, complimented by an off-white wall finish and deep slate grey finish to bathroom areas gives the project a warm material richness.
