该网站是通过一个私人森林通道访问。其明显的线性方法延伸到绘图，并创建概念主轴。第二轴，垂直于前者，相交，通向热水浴缸和湖泊。这些轴线是由木材路径和大型石墙定义的，从花园开始，穿过房子，从另一边出去。墙壁继续穿过地块，将花园底部的独立办公室和健身房进一步连接起来。这些分隔墙创造了四个独立的花园体验，其中第一个是入口空间。第二个是一个平静的鹅卵石日本药草花园，在房子的后面连接独立的办公室。第三间是私人密闭的树林空间，专为上面的厨房和主卧室服务。第四是一大片开阔的热带植物和草坪延伸到湖面，反映了俯瞰湖面的开阔的居住空间。

The site is accessed via a private forest lane. Its overtly linear approach extends into the plot and creates the conceptual main axis. A second axis, perpendicular to the former, intersects and leads towards a hot tub and the lake. These axes are defined by timber paths and large stone walls that begin in the garden and run through the house and out the other side. The walls continue through the plot, to link a further a separate office and gym space at the bottom of the garden. These dividing walls create four separate garden experiences, the first of which being the entrance space. The second is a calm pebbled Japanese herb garden to the rear of the house linking the separate office. The third is a private enclosed wooded space dedicated to the kitchen and master bedroom above. The fourth is a large open expanse of tropical plants and lawn reaching down to the lake, reflecting the open plan living space that looks over it.

一个白色的盒子，坐在轴向墙壁的顶部，给上层沉睡的地板一个重量轻的图像，似乎漂浮在石斧上方。里面有五间卧室，都有大面积的釉面。这提供了美丽的树梢景观湖和周围的林地，创造了一种嵌套在树冠之间，而躺在床上的感觉。

A white box, sat on top of the axial walls, gives the upper sleeping floor a light weight image and appears to be floating above the stone axes. It contains the five bedrooms, all with large glazed areas. This provides beautiful tree top views of the lake and surrounding woodland, creating a sense of being nestled amongst the tree canopy whilst lying in bed.

底层起居区位于箱体下，由轴心形成，周围有大的滑动玻璃板，提供了内外无缝的连接。露台进一步强调了这一点，在里面使用单一风格的地砖，它延伸到外面，通过冲水的门槛，真正给人一种真正的‘内/外生活’的感觉。

The ground floor living areas, nestled under the box and formed by the axis, are enclosed with large sliding glazed panels that provide a seamless link between the internal and external. The terrace further accentuates this, with the use of a single style of floor tile inside, that extends outside through flush thresholds to really give a true sense of ‘inside/outside living’.

房子周围的护城河提供了一个隐喻的安全感之间的外部世界和内部圣地。穿过一座桥进入前门，让主人在心理上离开外面的世界，进入他们自己的静修处。

The moat surrounding the house provides a metaphoric sense of security between the outside world and the inner sanctum. Crossing it via a bridge to access the front door, enables the owners to psychologically leave the outside world behind and enter into their own retreat.

使用的材料调色板是温和低调的。白色和灰色渲染装饰浮动盒。天然石材，受当地12世纪修道院的启发，为该地区设置了乡土风格，被用作占据底层的墙壁，提供了坚固的对比。黑暗的地砖内外，使房子的体验，那平静的发挥之间的光和空间无边界。该房子是超级绝缘，以创造一个高能效的家庭，地板下供暖提供温暖和大悬垂，以减少太阳能在夏季的几个月。

The palette of materials used is modest and understated. White and grey render adorn the floating box. Natural stone, inspired by local 12th Century abbey that sets the vernacular for the area, is used for the walls that dominate the ground floor providing rugged contrast. Dark floor tiles inside and out, make the experience of the house, that of calm play between light and space without boundaries. The house is super insulated to create a highly energy efficient home, with under floor heating providing warmth and large overhangs to reduce solar gain in the summer months.
