架构师提供的文本描述。这所房子以规划的方式划分成不同的区域，供各种活动和家庭成员使用。在第一层，分离也是物理的，每一个空间都有平面墙。在空间规划中，鼓励社会互动是一个优先事项，而且还为母亲寻求高水平的视觉连通性，以满足她在厨房轴心的监督倾向。监视的概念被进一步扩展，在不同的墙壁上标点条状的空隙，在居民和过路人之间引起一种好奇的感觉。

Text description provided by the architects. The house was programmatically separated into distinct zones for various activities and members of the household. On the first level, the separation was also physical, with planar walls demarcating each space. Encouraging social interaction was a priority in spatial planning, and a high level of visual connectivity was also sought for the mom to satisfy her supervisory propensities from her axis mundi, the kitchen. The idea of surveillance is extended further with punctuation of strip voids through various walls, inviting a sense of inquisitiveness among inhabitants and passer bys alike.

房子分成三分之二的长度，被分成两个翅膀，无缝地流入庭院花园，由一个全高滑动门的周长所勾勒。内部和外部生活区的集合体构成了公共空间，而第二层是一层私人楼层，其中一层是儿童的翅膀，另一层是供父母使用的。前花园和庭院之间有一道特色墙，为主房子提供了隐私。在水平的水平条状空隙允许居民向外窥视邻居走过或在屋外等候的客人。

Split in thirds down its length, the house is divided into 2 wings that flow seamlessly into the courtyard garden, delineated by a perimeter of full height sliding doors. The conglomeration of internal and external living areas forms the communal space, while the second level is a private floor with one wing for the children and the other for the parents. A feature wall separates the front garden from the courtyard, affording privacy to the main house. A horizontal strip void at eye level allows inhabitants to peek out at neighbours walking past or guests waiting outside the house.

利用它的部分设置在高架地面，客厅和餐厅两侧的房子后部，最大限度地畅通无阻的绿色景观内外的场地边界。通过打开一个水疗池和一个坐落在斜坡上的无限游泳池，人们对景观的认识得到了提高。

Capitalising on its partial setting on elevated ground, the living and dining rooms flank the rear half of the house, maximizing unobstructed views of greenery within and outside the site boundaries. Awareness of the landscape is heightened by opening out to a spa pool and an infinity pool perched on a slope.

厨房位于客厅对面的对角线上，让母亲在做家务时注意每个人，并因实际原因而毗邻餐厅。从生活到餐厅，需要穿过庭院或桥下，把孩子们和主人的翅膀连接起来。饭厅被推开得更远了，把它和厨房隔开的墙壁一直延伸到天桥的内缘，从起居室边缘的墙壁上凹下来，就在天桥的另一边。这提供了从一个房间到另一个房间的视觉连续性。

The kitchen is placed diagonally opposite the living room, allowing the mother to keep an eye on everyone while going about her chores; and adjacent to the dining room for practical reasons. Getting from the living to the dining room involves traipsing across the courtyard or under the bridge linking the children and master wings. The dining room was pushed further out such that the walls separating it from the kitchen terminates at the inner edge of the sky bridge, recessed from the walls bounding the edge of the living room, on the other side of the sky bridge. This provides visual continuity from one room to the other.

靠近起居室的一段楼梯通向第二层的儿童机翼。三间卧室是平行的，在游泳池露台上方有一间普通的书房。这项研究在三个方面都有很好的优势，因为它延伸到了另一边，鼓励孩子们在这里花费更多的时间，而不是呆在他们各自的房间里。连接房间的走廊被可操作的玻璃幕墙遮住，与庭院和天空有着直接的联系。透明度还允许与他们的父母在院子里进行互动。

A flight of stairs adjacent to the living room leads to the children’s wing on the second level. Three bedrooms lie in parallel, terminating with a common study above the pool patio. The study boasts excellent vantage on three sides because it extends beyond the other wing, encouraging the children to spend more time here than in their individual rooms. The corridor linking the rooms is sheltered from the elements by an operable glass curtain wall, offering a direct relationship with the courtyard and sky. Transparency also allows for interaction with their parents across the courtyard.

一座遮蔽的桥梁连接到一个活生生的展馆，这也打开了视野。宽敞比例的主卧夹在房内，最大限度地撤退，并有一个附加的书房，在衣柜和阳台走向房子的前面。这条机翼上的走廊是由一堵坚固的墙遮住的，与最大限度地保护隐私的理念保持一致。然而，一个水平的空洞再次在眼睛水平被刺穿，以方便与他们的孩子沟通和监督。阳台是悬臂从第一层，消除了需要一个单独的汽车门廊元素，并被遮挡直接夕阳的铝屏幕在前面。

A sheltered bridge links to a living pavilion that also opens out to the view. The generously proportioned master bedroom is sandwiched in the nave with maximum retreat, and complete with an attached study, walk in wardrobe and balcony toward the front of the house. The corridor on this wing is sheltered by a solid wall, keeping with notions of maximizing privacy. However, a horizontal void was punctured at eye level yet again, to facilitate communication with and supervision of their children. The balcony is cantilevered off the first level, eliminating the need for a separate car porch element, and is shielded from direct evening sun by aluminium screens at the front.
