灯塔是英格兰南海岸的海滨地产。这是一个超级绝缘，豪华的3卧室的房子，坐落在一个美丽的水边位置，享受惊人的景致索伦特岛和怀特岛。(鼓掌)

The Lighthouse is a beachfront property on the south coast of England. It is a super insulated, luxury 3 bedroom house sitting in a beautiful water side location enjoying stunning views of the Solent and the Isle of Wight.

该地点被两个相邻的建筑物和一个7米高的路堤所包围，其中的人行道和街道通道位于顶部。这条通往房产屋顶层的通道，以及海滩、英吉利海峡和怀特岛南部的单向景观，已经导致了一种有趣的设计，它从传统的海滩展馆(如比克斯希尔的德拉沃尔(DeLaWarr)那里得到了灵感。

The site is enclosed between two neighbouring buildings and a 7m high embankment to the north; of which pavement and street access sits at the top. This access, to the roof level of the property, and the one-directional view over the beach, English Channel and Isle of Wight to the south, has led to an interesting design which takes inspiration from traditional beach pavilions such as the De La Warr in Bexhill a little further along the coast.

设计理念是最大限度地扩大建筑的宽度，所以每个关键房间都能看到广阔的景色。所有浴室和公用空间都在物业的后面运行，使所有起居空间的视野保持连续性。这座房子位于路面以下7米处，屋顶是3辆汽车的停车场。从视觉上看，屋顶和地板是悬挂在中央混凝土核心，结束在大悬臂，提供遮阳和露天遮蔽到底层。

The design concept was to maximize the building's width, so every key room enjoys expansive views of the vista. All bathrooms and utility spaces run at the rear of the property, allowing the view to be continuous for all living spaces. The house sits 7 metres below road level with the roof acting as a parking deck for 3 cars. Visually the roof and floor decks are hung from the central concrete core, terminating in large cantilevers that provide shade and open-air shelter to the ground floor.

阳台和室外住宿设施由水平平面提供，从贯穿屋顶平面的中央出入塔仔细地悬臂起来；屋顶上方有一个无框玻璃外壳，提供通道并充当灯塔。在这个外壳内的照明是由一个气压计触发，提供即时信息到海滩和海洋以外。

Balconies and outdoor accommodation are provided by horizontal planes carefully cantilevered from a central access tower which penetrates the roof plane; atop of which sits a frameless glass enclosure providing access and acting as a lighthouse. Lighting within this enclosure is triggered by a barometer providing instantaneous information to the beach and sea beyond.

这个发光的玻璃立方体位于混凝土楼梯核心的顶部。晚上，亮着的玻璃会发光，以表示当地的天气状况：天气晴朗时绿色，大气压力下降时红色，提醒路过的游艇司机可能会遭遇暴风雨。

This illuminated glass cube sits on top of the concrete stair core. At night the lit glass glows to indicate local weather conditions: green when weather is fair and red when atmospheric pressure drops, warning passing yachtsmen of possible stormy conditions.
