架构师提供的文本描述。简短的是把一个典型的有屋顶的平房改造成一个现代的现代住宅。楼上卧室的布置被保留下来，只是为了使房间更大。主要的重新设计集中在底层，将墙壁拆卸成开放的平面空间。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief was to transform a typical pitched roofed bungalow house into a modern contemporary home. The configuration of the bedrooms upstairs were retained, extended only to make the rooms larger. The major redesign focused on the ground floor with the disassembling of walls into open plan spaces.

从第一次实地参观开始，花园里的大伞树就给人留下了深刻的印象。受此启发，家庭客房的设计自然会面对这绿色宁静的外观。公共区域以U字形延伸到花园；私人房间和厨房放在房子的另一边。

From the first site visit, the large umbrella trees in the garden left a deep impression. Inspired by this, the design of the family rooms would naturally face this green serene outward view. The common areas extend into the garden, in a U-shape manner; with the private rooms and kitchen placed on the other side of the house.

伞树愉快地帮助遮阳热带阳光进入双音量的正式客厅。为了最大限度地提高视角，专门设计了一套高旋转门。当关闭时，它提供了一个固定的遮阳屏幕，里面有窗户供通风，使它有效地成为一个凉爽的室内起居室。然而，一旦打开，房间就变成了一个畅通无阻的室外空间。这种圆形的形状为花园和房间之间的边界迅速模糊提供了灵活性。

The umbrella trees pleasantly help shade the tropical sunlight into the double volume formal living room. A set of high revolving doors were specifically created, in order to maximise viewing angles. When closed, it provides a secured shaded screen with windows inside for ventilation, making it effectively a cool indoor living room. However, once opened, the room transforms into an unobstructed outdoor space. This circular form allows the flexibility for these swift obscuring of boundaries between the garden and the room.

在正式生活背后的楼梯上，是开放式的非正式生活、厨房和就餐。这些空间是有意在白色调色板中设计的，以使自然光在空间中散发出来。在房子的后面，一个扩大的餐厅提供了一个隐私的因素，从附近的房子。此外，它还提供了一个纵向的景观花园，树木和确定的圆形客厅。

Past the staircase behind the formal living, is the wide open plan informal living, kitchen and dining. These spaces were designed intentionally in a white palette to allow natural light to emanate through the space. At the rear end of the house, an extended dining room provides an element of privacy from the neighbouring house. Also, it offers a longitudinal view towards the garden, trees and the defining circular living room.
