架构师提供的文本描述。这个家位于西梅奥的布莱克索德湾，它的灵感来自当地的农场和他们制造的小庭院围场。这座房子朝南，距离仅30米远的大海，庭院形式在一个很难种植的地方提供了住所。这座住宅沉重的石墙把建筑物固定在崎岖的环境中，并为抵御恶劣的天气提供了保护。

Text description provided by the architects. This family home on Blacksod Bay in west Mayo takes its inspiration from local farms and the small courtyard enclosures they make. The house faces south to the sea that is a mere 30 metres away, the courtyard form provides shelter in a location where it is difficult to use planting. The dwelling's heavy stone walls anchor the building in its rugged setting and give protection against the severe weather.

这是一个大家庭聚会的房子，厨房在房子的中心。到了冬天，两层楼可以关闭，供直系亲属使用，而在夏天，房子可以为许多游客扩建。

所选择的材料反映了场地的质量，并选择了天气和年代、砂岩、石灰橡木、锌。当地的拉肯砂岩坚硬如花岗岩，有着温暖多样的色调，从外部到内部具有连续性。粗糙的石墙是通过切割石材衬垫和窗台来提炼的，这导致在墙壁和地板上都使用了类似的饰面。

The materials selected mirror the qualities of the site and were chosen to weather and age, sandstone, limed oak, zinc. The local Lacken sandstone is as hard as granite, has a warm variety of tone and brings continuity from exterior to interior. The rough drystone wall is refined by cut stone lintels and sills which lead to the use of a similar finish internally on both walls and floors.

内部空间在不同的部分，并利用更安静的纹理和有限的调色板的颜色和材料。这扇深邃的窗户是用石灰橡木衬里的。窗帘是用未染色的亚麻做的。从外部看，粗糙的砂岩遮住了窗框，吸引了观众对远处景观的关注。当一个人通过安静的内部移动，景观的野生景观组成了慷慨的玻璃。

The internal spaces are varied in section and make use of quieter textures and a limited palette of colours and materials. The deep window reveals are lined with limed oak. Curtains are made from undyed linen. Externally, rough sandstone masks the window frames focussing the viewers attention on the landscape beyond. As one moves through the quiet interior, views of the wild landscape are composed through generous glazing.
