该遗址是一个回收的砂岩采石场，从历史上的采矿活动中陡峭地退了出来。该网站最初的想法是一系列平台从网站上下来，围绕着四合院进行保护，并向东北方向和景观开放。这一想法发展成两个铜包曲卷，包围内部区域，铜墙保护这些空间从南方面，并为家庭创造了隐私。这些弧形墙的开敞边缘向北开放，视野和封闭的墙壁上都有小孔，这些小孔在工地和海港上形成了独特的景观。

The site is a recovered sandstone quarry, steeply benched out from historic mining activity. The initial idea for the site was a series of platforms stepping down the site, enclosing courtyards for protection and opening up to the north-east aspect and view. This idea developed into the creation of two copper clad curved volumes which enclose the internal areas, the copper wall protected these spaces from the southern aspect and created privacy for the home. The open edges of these curved walls open to the north and the view and the closed walls contain small apertures which frame particular views over the site and the harbour.

这两本书坐落在一个沙石平台上，这个平台是用打捞出来的沙石雕刻而成的，窗户上有“巴利斯特里亚”窗，可以俯瞰花园和中国海滩。这个讲台上有一个地窖和客人区。

These two volumes sit on a sandstone podium, carved from the salvaged sandstone from the site, with 'balistraria' windows which framing views over the garden and Chinaman's Beach. This podium houses a cellar and guest area.

这两卷书之间的空间在朝北的两个层次上建立了内部保护庭院。这个中央庭院可以让过滤过的光线穿透到房子的深处，并通过一个雕刻的木阶将房子的所有区域连接起来。这些庭院还可以连接位于房屋北面的线性水池，位于砂岩平台内。

The space between these two volumes creates internal protective courtyards over two levels facing north. This central courtyard served to let filtered light penetrate deep into the house and also connect all of the areas of the house by a sculptural timber stair. These courtyards also serve to connect the linear pool located on the north of the house, within the sandstone podium.

这座房子的物质性受到了刻意的限制，有一种铜的味道，打捞出来的砂岩，以及回收的黑臀北面和窗户。这所房子是通过玻璃卷进入的，它面向东面的视野和南面的岩石峭壁，这一卷的侧壁充当画廊的墙壁。入口的想法被认为是一系列的观点之间的悉尼元首，岩石悬崖和画廊墙壁的艺术作品。

The materiality of the house is purposely restrained, with a palate of copper, salvaged sandstone, and recycled blackbutt north facades and windows. The house is entered via a glass volume which faces both the view to the east and the rock escarpment to the south, the side walls of this volume serve as a gallery walls. The entrance idea is conceived as a sequence of views between Sydney Heads, the rock escarpment and the artwork of the gallery walls.
