架构师提供的文本描述。这座新建筑的建筑地点位于维多利亚州(澳大利亚)海滨小镇Barwon Heals的住宅网格内。由于住宅场地平整，房屋形成的指导性因素很多。客户需要一套能够同时满足两大群体需求的房子，而当他们的需求发生变化时，这些区域可以被分割开来。此外，我们希望海滩房屋的环境既反映了聚在一起的观念，又与外部环境联系在一起。通过将房地产规划划分成一个大型中央枢纽相连的单独区域，人们可以聚集在一起放松、社交和准备食物，从而建立起与这一理想的直接联系。通过将大型娱乐区域从这个主要枢纽延伸到邻近的环境中，进一步增加了空间感和灵活性。自然光、天然材料和透明感进一步促进了海滨环境的放松。大而开放的户外区域，与房子的内部联系起来，也需要强调放松的海滨环境。

Text description provided by the architects. The site for this new building is within a residential grid in the coastal Victorian (Australia) town of Barwon Heads. Due to the flat residential site the house was formed by a number of guiding factors. The clients required a house that would cater for both large groups whilst having zones that could be sectioned off when their needs changed. Further to this, we wanted the beach house environment reflects both the notion of coming together, and being linked to the external environment. By dividing the planning of the property into separate zones linked by one large main central hub, where people can come together to relax, socialize and prepare food, a direct link is created to this ideal. By extending large entertaining areas out from this main hub into the adjacent environment, a sense of space and flexibility is further added. Natural light, natural materials and a sense of transparency further promote a relaxed beachside environment. Large and open outdoor areas that are linked back to the interiors of the house were also required to emphasize the relaxed seaside environment.

客户希望最大限度地与房子周围创建的外部空间建立联系，同时从相邻的房产中保持一定的隐私。这些原则直接指导了建筑物的形式。一个大型的中央枢纽被创建为家庭的中心。这一中心区域的作用是锚定房子的两翼，并将方形块分开来创造单独的外部环境。在房产的正面，一个更小、更亲密、更私密的空间已经被创造出来，而在中央枢纽的另一边，一个更大、更开放的区域被建在房子的两翼旁边。由于该地点坐落在沿海环境内，但没有从水景中受益，因此引入水是外部环境的一部分。景色是通过房子创造出来的，透过倒影池或更大的景观池，向外眺望这些外部环境。

The clients wanted to maximize the connection with the external spaces created around the house whilst maintaining a certain amount of privacy from the adjacent neighboring properties. These principles acted in directly guiding the form of the building. A large central hub was created as the heart of the home. This central zone acts to anchor the two wings of the house and also works to divide up the square shaped block to create individual external environments. To the front of the property a smaller more intimate and private space has been created, whilst on the other side of the central hub a large more open area is created, and flanked by the two wings of the house. As the site is nestled within a coastal environment, but does not benefit from water views, water has been introduced as part of the external environments. Vistas are created through the house looking out into these external environments over reflection ponds or a larger landscaped pool.

为了减少建筑形式的视觉体积，它被设计成在其环境中处于低位。在水平和垂直的表面上都有一个层叠的系统，用来创造令人印象深刻的内部区域，而不产生一个严酷的外部块形式。墙壁和空间设置在不同的深度，以进一步凹槽的皮肤的建筑物。深层露台的作用不仅是提供天气保护，还采取行动创造一个水平的隐私到内部地区，而没有物理障碍或屏幕。

To reduce the visual bulk of the building form, it has been designed to sit low within its environment. A system of layers on both the horizontal and vertical surfaces has been employed to create impressive internal areas without resulting in a harsh external block form. Walls and spaces are set in at different depths to further recess the skin of the building. Deep terraces act to not only provide weather protection, but also act to create a level of privacy to the internal areas without having physical barriers or screens.

通过对房屋和景观进行分区，客户对房屋的功能要求得到了很好的满足。然而，另一种复杂的情况出现在创造大的开放的公共空间上，因为它们往往在外观上是相当谷仓的。在和试图减轻这一点，我们已经使用了一个偏移全高度元素在空间，其中包括一个开放式壁炉在一边和厨房的长凳在另一边。这有助于在本质上仍然是一个开放的社区环境中划定和界定活动区域。

By zoning the house and landscape the functional aspects of the client’s requirements for the house are well met. However alternative complications arise by creating large open communal spaces, as they often tend to be quite barn like in appearance. In and attempt to mitigate this we have used an offset full height element within the space, which incorporates an open fireplace on one side and the kitchen bench on the other. This assists in delineating and defining the activity areas in what is essentially still an open, communal environment.
