架构师提供的文本描述。这个计划表达了我们希望以一种看似和谐和平衡的方式组织复杂的元素。其基本想法是发展一种由许多相互竞争的组成部分组成的安排，并创造一些给人以简单有序的印象。这种哲学是为了在建筑中创造一种平静的感觉，提高居民对周围环境的体验，使人们能够对自然进行观照。

Text description provided by the architects. The scheme is an expression of our desire to organise complex elements in a way that appears to be harmonious and balanced. The underlying idea was to develop an arrangement of many competing components and create something that gives the impression of being simple and ordered.  This philosophy was perused to create a feeling of calm in the building, heightening the resident’s experience of the surrounding environment and to enable the contemplation of nature.

住宅设施的设计是为了对街道做出贡献，允许路过的人在不失去隐私的情况下查看大楼。大型的混凝土门户被用来将玻璃墙包裹起来，这些墙将视野重新固定在建筑物的上层，以及花园庭院和国家公园之外。这样，行人便可以观察屋内较多的公共空间，例如入口楼梯上的运动，但也可让业主占据建筑物边缘，观察街道上冲浪者的戏院。

The house amenity was devised to contribute to the street by allowing passes by to look into the building without the residents losing their privacy.  Large concrete portals were used to encase glass walls that framed views back into the upper levels of the building and beyond into the garden courtyards and National Park. This allows pedestrians to observe the more public spaces of the house like, the movement on the entry stair, but it also enables the owners to occupy the building edge to observe the theater of the surfers on the street.

这个程序的概念是在不损害房子或邻近建筑物的隐私的情况下，向周围的地形开放房子。规划配置也得到了仔细考虑，因此住宅的公共和私人区域之间存在着积极的关系。这套住宅的建造是为了最大限度地利用冬季阳光进入大楼，同时不考虑夏季阳光。这与鼓励自然交叉通风的策略相结合，可以让房屋在夏季凉爽，冬季温暖，无需机械通风。

The program concept was to open up the house to the surrounding terrain without compromising the privacy of the house or the neighboring buildings. The plan configuration was also carefully considered so that there was a positive relationship between the public and private areas of the residence.  The dwelling has been crafted to maximize the winter sun entering the building while excluding the summer sun.  This combined with tactics to encourage natural cross ventilation allows the house to be cool in summer and warm in winter without the need for mechanical ventilation.

房子的环境设计是进步的。它有连接太阳能的电网，产生的电力比居民使用的要多。地下雨水箱用于室内再利用。被动式太阳能设计，以减少对机械冷却和取暖的需求。LED照明。新的亚热带景观中，60%的可食用物种增加了生物多样性和野生动物的栖息地。这一重量级建筑为夏季的热量增加和冬季的保暖提供了热质量。建筑的永久性质将在建筑生命周期内所需的持续能源消耗非常少。

The house is progressive in its environmental design.  It has grid connected solar power, generating more electricity than the residents use.  Underground rain water tanks for reuse in the house.  Passive solar design, to reduce the demand on mechanical cooling and heating. LED lighting.  New subtropical landscape with edible species to 60 percent of the property increasing biodiversity and wildlife habitat.  The heavy weight construction provides thermal mass for exclusion of heat gain in summer and retention of warmth in winter.  The permanent nature of construction will require very little on-going energy consumption over the life cycle of the building.
