房子从场地上走下，被连接成三个清晰的元素，从传统的三方设计中提取线索，形成一个基础，中间和顶部。带有凹口的实心“底座”将房屋锚定到场地，外墙从房屋延伸出去，形成自然地面水平或以下的景观挡土墙和台阶。

The house steps down the site and is articulated into three legible elements taking cues from a traditional tripartite design of forming a base, middle and top. The solid ‘base’ with recessed openings anchors the house to the site with external walls extending out from the house to form landscaped retaining walls and steps which are located at natural ground level or below.

开放的规划起居区坐落在坚实的基础之上，作为一个凹槽透明的“中间”元素来捕捉风景和阳光。此外，由于场地的方位和需要最大限度地利用太阳能，起居室上方的屋顶折叠起来，捕捉北半球的阳光，屋檐突出，以遮阳避暑。房子的中段，包括檐篷和栏杆在内的南部范围，是后方契约受挫区的倒退。

The open planned living areas sit on top of the solid base as a recessed transparent ‘middle’ element to capture views and sunlight. Furthermore, due to the orientation of the site and the need to maximise solar access, the roof over the living room folds up to capture northern sunlight with significant eave overhangs to provide shading from the summer sun. The southern extent of the mid level of the house, including awnings and balustrades, is setback within the rear covenant setback zone.

房屋的“顶部”，包括卧室和服务区域，折叠和曲线，考虑到边界线，查看走廊和房子的内部功能。为了利用南面的景观，卧室和图书馆区提供了大格式的画窗，而东面和西面则设置了二级窗户和舱口，以保持相邻房屋的隐私。

The ‘top’ of the house, which includes the bedrooms and service areas, folds and curves with consideration to boundary alignments, view corridors and internal functions of the house. To take advantage of the southern views large format picture windows are provided to the bedrooms and library area whilst secondary windows and hatches are provided to the east and west facades to maintain privacy to adjoining houses.
