架构师提供的文本描述。客户的简报在住宿方面是直截了当的，围绕着需要有一个与室外空间(包括膝池)相关的大型开放娱乐区，并为主人的西装和客人的卧室提供单独的区域。虽然这是一个家庭住宅，但从长远来看，这座房子可能会成为一家“精品酒店”-在设计上需要考虑到这一点。房子必须与壮观的景观相联系，方便地进入周围的露台，以及与山脉和湖泊的视觉连接。这种形式是永恒的，反映了区域建筑的质量。

Text description provided by the architects. The client’s brief was straightforward in terms of accommodation and revolved around the need to have a large open entertaining area associated with outdoor spaces (including a lap pool) with separate areas for the master suit and guests bedrooms. Although it this is a family home, long term the house could become a “boutique hotel” – the design needed to take this into account. The house had to relate to the spectacular landscape with easy access to surrounding patios and visual connection to the mountains and lake. The form was to be timeless and reflect the qualities of the regional architecture.

这座大房子坐落在一个海角上，西面可以俯瞰瓦卡蒂普湖，东面是雷马克布尔斯河，北面是半岛山。在前面的地面是滚滚的斗牛覆盖的小山和修过指甲的杰克斯点高尔夫球场。

The large house is situated on a promontory overlooking Lake Wakatipu to the west, with the Remarkables to the east and Peninsula Hill to the north – hiding Coronet Peak. In the fore ground are rolling tussock covered hills and the manicured fairways of the Jacks Point Golf Course.

整体概念是基于“诚实”的建筑-清脆、干净的线条，没有装饰，建筑材料从工地上提取出来，并尽可能从该地区采购。

The overall concept is based on “honest” architecture – crisp, clean lines, devoid of decoration, constructed from material extracted from the site and sourced from the region as far as possible.

窗户和外墙的深凹突出了建筑的坚固性，给人了一种与该地区历史建筑和景观相联系的永久感。从现场“采掘”的片岩(用来容纳地下室、车库和酒窖)实际上被用作混凝土砌块结构墙上的外部覆层材料。

The deep recesses to the windows and the exterior wall cladding accentuate the solid construction of the building giving a sense of permanence and connection with the historic buildings of the region as well as the landscape. The schist which was “quarried” from the site (to accommodate the basement garage and wine cellar) was actually reused as the exterior cladding material over the concrete block structural walls.

这所房子的布局概念很简单。它由三个部分组成-活机翼(长方形)，卧室面积(方形)与连接线型画廊。车库藏在下面。

The layout of the house is very simple in its concept. It is made up of three parts – the living wing (a rectangular form), the bedroom area (a square shape) with the connecting linear gallery. The garage is tucked underneath.

房子从东边经过一条长长的小巷，后面是雷马克布尔斯河，前面是瓦卡蒂普湖。入口图库在这个轴上对齐，将这两个主要功能连接起来。

The house is approached down a long lane from the east with the Remarkables at your back and Lake Wakatipu at your front. The entry gallery is aligned on this axis linking these two dominant features.

画廊的北面是客厅-基本上是两个非常大的房间-客厅和厨房/餐厅/家庭室。

To the north of the gallery is the living area – essentially two very large rooms – the living room and the kitchen/dining/family room.

这些开放到一个广阔的露台区域，有膝池/桑拿/跳水池。大约在中央走廊的一半处会出现一个三通连接-这个辅助通道连接主卧室区域(向西)，客房侧(向东)与楼梯/电梯连接到地下室车库。

These open onto an extensive patio area with lap pool/sauna/plunge pool. Approximately half way down the central gallery a tee junction occurs – this secondary access links to the master bedroom area (to the west), the guest bedroom wing (to the east) with a stair/lift down to the basement garage.

主卧室区域可以俯瞰瓦卡蒂普湖，而客房则专注于纪念活动。

The master bedroom area looks out over Lake Wakatipu whilst the guest rooms focus on the Remarkables.
