伊丽莎白海滩位于澳大利亚新南威尔士州北海岸中部，是一个小村庄，既有度假屋，也有永久住所。气候温和，环境基本未受破坏。该遗址位于一些残留的海滨雨林对面，位于瓦利斯湖河口和太平洋之间。

Elizabeth Beach, on the mid North coast of NSW, Australia, is a small village with a mix of holiday houses and permanent residences. The climate is temperate and the surroundings largely unspoiled. The site is located opposite some remnant littoral rainforest, midway between the estuary of Wallis Lake and the Pacific Ocean.

这一地点的主要机会是，漫长的边界紧靠着一个自然保护区，紧靠着东部。西边是一座陡峭的小山，有许多房子。客户的要求是，该房子将适合一个年轻的，不断增长的家庭，提供容纳大家庭从州际。房子应该利用网站的特点，并突出不太理想的意见。

The principal opportunity that the site presents is that the long boundary abuts a nature reserve, immediately to the East. To the West is a steep hill with existing houses. The client’s requirements were that the house would suit a young, growing family, with provision to accommodate extended family from interstate. The house should take advantage of the site’s attributes, and crop out the less desirable views.

这座建筑背后的理念是，在建筑的西侧建立一个接地的木结构元素，为该建筑的其余部分创造一个屏障。更多的开放空间，如生活区和甲板，坐落在木材元素的东面，完全隐私，直接展望森林和良好的太阳能通道。居住空间开放给阳光明媚的草地、屋顶的露台和开阔的露台，这样就可以根据不同的天气使用不同的季节。孩子们的房间打开了一个游戏室，创造和定义了他们自己的房子的私人区域。上层是父母自己的区域，在那里被认为是开阔的森林和花园的框架视图。该住宅设计为私人住宅，从西方和南方的庇护，但向北部和东部开放。

The idea behind the building is for a grounded, timber element extending along the Western side of the block, which creates a screen for the rest of the site. More open spaces such as living areas and decks sit East of the timber element, with total privacy, direct outlook to the forest and good solar access. The living spaces open to a sunny grassed area, a roofed deck and an open deck, so that through the seasons, different areas can be used depending upon the weather. The children’s rooms open into a playroom, creating and defining their own private area of the house. The upper level is the parent’s own zone, where considered openings frame views of the forest and garden. The home is designed to be private and sheltered from the west and South, yet open to the North and East.
