架构师提供的文本描述。据说地球上每个人都有6度的距离。戈登斯湾大厦(Gordons Bay House)询问，如何通过6度分离，通过谈判形成一个复杂的关联网络，从而产生一种为一大群人服务的架构，同时将构建的建筑形式与其上下文无缝地结合在一起。该设计位于俯瞰海湾的山坡上，由三层组成，每层与边界相隔六度。每层楼的交替方向是对场地施加的不同限制作出反应。

Text description provided by the architects. It’s said that 6 degrees separate each human on earth from another. The Gordons Bay House asks how 6 degrees of separation might negotiate a web of complex associations in order to produce an architecture that performs for a wide group of people, while seamlessly integrating the built form with its context. Set on the hillside overlooking the bay, the design consists of three levels, each level alternatively offset from the boundary by six degrees. The alternating orientation of each floor provides a response to different constraints imposed by the site.

车库地板倾斜，以提供方便的接近车道，同时最大限度地美化面积在前面的住宅。底层向西北方向交替向海湾和克洛夫利海角倾斜。这亦可保留及改善建筑物南面公众行车线的景观。第一层剪刀再次产生一系列屋顶梯田和悬臂悬垂，相应地暴露和覆盖上面和下面的空间。

The garage floor is skewed to provide easy access from the adjacent lane, while maximising the landscaped area at the front of the dwelling. The ground floor alternately angles northwest towards the view of the bay and the Clovelly headland. This also preserves and enhances views from the public lane on the southern side of the building. The first floor scissors again to produce a series of roof terraces and cantilevered overhangs that correspondingly expose and cover the spaces above and below.

这一命令确保该项目不会影响邻居的利益，而不会损害房屋的质量。交替的水平都围绕一个戏剧性的双高度画廊楼梯井，容纳客户广泛的艺术品收集，并吸引光线和空气通过住宅的中心。这座房子是为耐用而建造的，它采用了非形式的混凝土板和边缘梁，使结构能够优雅地悬臂起来。窗户和自定义设计的墙壁覆层类似地处理椭球铝百叶窗，提供保护免受侵略性的海滨环境。这调色板的材料，以及使用新的和打捞木材，和砂岩都优雅地谈到它的设置。

This order ensures that the project does not step on neighbour’s toes, without compromising the quality of the house. Alternating levels all pivot around a dramatic double height gallery stairwell that accommodates the client’s extensive collection of artwork and draws light and air through the centre of the dwelling. Built to last, the house uses off-form concrete slabs and edge beams allowing the structure to cantilever gracefully. Windows and custom designed wall cladding are similarly treated with ellipsoid aluminium louvres that provide protection from the aggressive seaside environment. This palette of materials, as well as the use of new and salvaged timbers, and sandstone all elegantly speak of its setting.

通过Terragram设计的景观设计，该建筑得到了接受和增强。在街道上巨大的砂岩挡土墙的顶上，一片宽阔的草坪被可食用的植物和树木所包围。橄榄，特别是柑橘，蔬菜和草药帮助储存厨房，残渣回到鸡的花园，从他们定制的周遭的房子。南部的公共小巷已经得到了极大的改善，当地的开花、地面覆盖和灌木丛都很流行。

The architecture is embraced and enhanced by landscaping designed by Terragram. Set atop the large exsting sandstone retaining wall on the street, a generous lawn is surrounded by edible plants and trees. Olives, espaliered citrus, vegetables and herbs help stock the kitchen, and the scraps return to the chickens that roam the garden from their bespoke chook house. The public lane to the south has been dramatically improved with endemic flowering ground covers and bushes.

该房屋的运行由一个4.2kW光伏阵列，大型雨水池，太阳能热水和游泳池供暖补充。这房子是免费的空调，这是建筑师和客户之间的合同安排的结果，以实现不需要它的设计。慷慨的屋檐，经过深思熟虑的应用热质量和自然通风运作，以尽量减少住宅持续的环境影响。

The operation of the house is supplemented by a 4.2 kW photovoltaic array, large rainwater tanks, solar hot water and pool heating. This house is air conditioning free, the result of a contractual arrangement between architect and client to achieve a design that did not require it. Generous eaves, a considered application of thermal mass and natural ventilation operate to minimise the dwellings ongoing environmental impact.

表面上简单的混凝土板和铝制百叶窗的层次性是由水平变化的几何图形、独特的前门、钢楼梯和不规则的石材提供的。这些不规则之处成了建筑的人面。据说，地球上每一个人都有6度的联系。戈登斯湾大厦(GordonsBayHouse)询问，如何通过6度分离来协商一个复杂关联的网络，从而产生一种适用于一大群人的建筑。

The apparently simple layering of concrete slabs and aluminium louvres is enriched by irregularities provided by the changing geometry of the levels, the distinctive front door, a steel stair and irregular stonework. These irregularities become the human face of the architecture. It is said that 6 degrees of association separates every human on earth from another. The Gordons Bay House asks how 6 degrees of separation might negotiate a web of complex associations in order to produce an architecture that works for a wide group of people.
