伯里格里芬湖需要大规模的土建工程。两米长的土壤被从一个河谷中刮走；海滩沙子、挡土墙和巨石被带到想象中的岸边，一个水闸被关闭，用来锁住莫隆洛河。湖的水位目前保持在这条精心设计的海岸线上，这是通过Scrivener和Google龙水坝的操纵，但是这个水位会随着降雨和气候的变化而波动。

Lake Burley Griffin required massive civil works. Two meters of soil was scraped from a river valley; beach sand, retaining walls and boulders were brought to an imagined shore and a sluice gate was shut to impound the Molonglo river. The Lake’s level is presently held constant to this carefully crafted shoreline by manipulations of the Scrivener and Googong dams, but this level can fluctuate with rainfall and climate.

一共有八堵墙。在这些墙的尽头，石群走下水面，无论其水平如何。在这些墙之间，湖水被保存在池塘中，以保持热稳定性，反射光线，创造平静。与该计划相关的拟议中的湖水和冲积花园重塑了湖泊的海岸线，创造了坐姿和钓鱼的地方。坐落在阿通加点顶端的小屋是很重要的，因为它成为湖岸的一部分，成为堪培拉的一部分。

There are eight walls in total. Where these walls terminate, ghats of stone step down to the water, whatever its level. Between these walls, the Lake’s water is held in ponds for thermal stability, bouncing light and creating calm. The proposed ghats and alluvial gardens associated with the scheme reshape the shoreline of the Lake, creating places to sit and places to fish. Siting the Lodge at the tip of Attunga Point was important because by becoming part of the Lake’s shore, the building becomes part of Canberra.

这些厚重的土墙是由在现场发现的属于亚鲁巴拉组的4.25亿年历史的沉积岩夯实而成的。这些墙包括各种形式的房间，创建庭院，蓄水和确定流通的途径。最重和最高的墙在东方，有一个开口，象征性的前门。最低和最开放的墙在西方，形成一个门槛的象征性后院的洛奇。这些墙与现场的岩石对齐，指向东北天空的正午。这些墙为游客提供城市景观，也为城市建筑设计游客提供景观框架。

These heavy earthen walls are rammed from 425 million year old sedimentary rock belonging to the Yarralumla Formation, found on site. These walls variously enclose formal rooms, create courtyards, hold water and define paths of circulation. The heaviest and tallest wall is to the east and has one opening, the symbolic front door. The lowest and most open wall is to the west and forms a threshold to the symbolic back yard of the Lodge. These walls align with the rock on site to point towards midday in the northeastern sky. These walls frame views of the city for visitors to the Lodge and views of visitors to the Lodge for the city.

首相的私人住所在上面，但垂直于墙壁，向西北方向。通过这样的定位，这些私人住所在这个小海湾找到了宁静，展望了黑山和国家植物园。私人户外空间是在有围墙的露台内举行的，为了隐私和安全，它向下一步，成为象征意义上的后院的一部分。

The Prime Minister’s private lodgings are held above, but perpendicular to the walls, orienting to the northwest. By orienting this way, these private lodgings find tranquility in the little bay and prospect towards Black Mountain and the National Arboretum. Private outdoor space is held within walled terraces, which step downwards for privacy and security, and become part of the symbolic back yard.

一个精致的叶形屋顶悬挂在土墙上方，同时充当一个可操作的遮阳装置、一个水收集器、一个太阳能集热器，以及多年来许多有趣人物和故事的收藏家。作为一个相当于白宫，洛奇必须是国家的壁炉-一个指挥所，一个活动空间，一个避难所和一个图标。

A delicate leaf-form roof is held above the earthen walls and serves simultaneously as an operable shading device, a collector of water, a collector of solar energy and, over the years, a collector of many interesting people and stories. As an equivalent to the White House, the Lodge must be the hearth of the nation – a command post, an event space, a sanctuary and an icon.
