架构师提供的文本描述。这座房子庆祝建造家园的阴影。它延续了kta对黑暗空间的兴趣，它为家庭生活提供了更高的亲密感和神秘感，以及它从严酷的澳大利亚太阳中提供的退却。

Text description provided by the architects. This house celebrates the shadow in the making of home. It continues kta’s interest in dark space, the heightened sense of intimacy and mystery for domestic life that this affords and the retreat it provides from the harsh Australian sun.

三角形，在平面上，它的长侧面作为挡土墙打击土地的斜面。与此相邻的是两面和三面，连接起来提供一个直角，一个角。如果这个直角包含了内部，并且定义了内部和外部之间的一个清晰的边界，顶角反而会破坏这一点。与挡土墙隔开，由全高的玻璃断口，他们揭示了重要的树木和遥远的头。在这些尖锐的末端，内外成为一体。

Triangular in plan its long side acts as retaining wall struck against the slope of the land. Adjacent to this are sides two and three, joined to provide a right angle, a corner. If this right angle contains the interior and defines a clear boundary between inside and out, the apexes instead breach this. Separated from the retaining wall by full height glazed breaks they reveal views of significant trees and distant headlands. At these acute ends, inside and outside become one.

在其他地方，窗户仅限于固定的画框，内衬着木料，与外部或垂直缝隙齐平，带有通风百叶窗，通过黑钢显示出阴影。揭示的表达，也是在返回砖墙中追求的，对于达到阴影的深度和大众的体验是至关重要的。它创造了适合居住的生态位，并重新建造了格里芬城堡建筑。

Elsewhere windows are limited to fixed picture frames lined with timber and flush with the exterior or vertical slots,with louvresfor ventilation,appearing as shadows through black steel reveals. The expression of the reveal,also pursued in the return of blockwork walls, is critical to achieving a depth for shadow and an experience of mass. It creates the habitable niche and recallsthe Griffins’ Castlecrag buildings.

客户对质量的渴望也通过使用混凝土砌块和混凝土地板来满足。木材的亮点丰富了本质上是野蛮人的调色板。结合黑色的形式，铺设天花板，他们加强了相邻灌木丛和遥远的海景的颜色。

The clients’ desire for mass is also met through the use of concrete blocks and concrete floors. Timber highlights enrich what is essentially a brutalist palette. In combination with the blackness of the form ply ceiling they intensifythe colours of the adjacent bush and distant sea scapes .

天花板是提供庇护的阴影。一个折叠式的表面，它沿着屋顶的线。屋顶从形成一条护栏向两边移动，或向北倾斜，这使屋顶或墙壁建筑的争论变得混乱。

The ceiling is the shadow under which shelter is given. A folded surface it follows the line of the roof. The roof shifts from forming a parapet to two sides andan overhang or eave to the north, confounding the roof or wall building debate.

在设计过程的早期，与菲利普·戈德关于这个项目的谈话揭示了维多利亚时代现代人对柏拉图式的使用感兴趣。在铂电子学中，三角形(尽管是直角三角形)与场地的力量最有成效地排列在一起。

Conversations with Phillip Goad about the project early in the design process uncovered an interest in the use of the platonic form amongst the Victorian moderns. Of theplatonics the triangle (albeit a right angle one)most productively aligned with the forces of the site.
