架构师提供的文本描述。该房屋的设计于2009年开始，并于2011年5月完成。坐落在一个多叶的向上市场的住宅，它坐落在1200平方米的直线地块上，原先是一个大地产的一部分，然后再细分。因此，房子被隐藏在远离主干道的地方，并通过近邻共用的一条短通道接近。

Text description provided by the architects. The design for the house commenced in the year 2009 and was completed in May 2011. Sited within a leafy up-market housing estate, it sits on a 1200 m2 linear plot of land that was originally part of a larger estate before sub-division. The house is hence hidden away from the main road and approached via a short access road that is shared by the immediate neighbor.

为一个5口之家设计的，偶尔有祖父母来访，客户给建筑师很大的自由设计，除了两个要求：提供一个完整的膝池和充分建设在预算范围内，而不是最大限度的可建区域。主翼，一条直线街区，主要容纳主要流通和服务区域，如门厅，餐厅，厨房和庭院在地面，更多的私人空间，如主卧室，女儿的卧室和家庭座位室在上层。

Designed for a family of 5 with occasional visits from the grandparents, the client gave the architect much freedom for the design except for two requests: to provide for a full lap pool and to build adequately within a budget, rather than maxing out the build-able area. The main wing, a linear block houses predominantly the main circulation and service areas such as foyer, dining, kitchens, and yard at the ground level and more private spaces such as the Master bedroom, daughter’s bedrooms and family seating room on the upper level.

在主循环脊柱结束的区块是一个体积的客厅空间与主卧室的书房从上面看。第三座附属大楼在地下设有家庭娱乐和书房等私人空间，而儿子的卧室则设在上层。入口是从一个大柱免费汽车门廊进入一个半室外的入口门廊，然后变成一个中央门厅，形成主循环脊柱，导致所有主要的生活空间。

The block terminating the main circulation spine is a volumetric living room space with the master bedroom’s study over looking from above. The third annex block houses private spaces such as the family entertainment and study at the ground level and the sons’ bedrooms on the upper level. Entry is from a large column free car porch into a semi-outdoor entrance porch before turning into a central foyer that forms the main circulation spine leading to all the main living spaces.

在一层，房子将以线性的方式阅读，主走廊作为一个中心导光轴。其余的空间是插入和排列沿它，揭示了一个相对亲密的空间，客厅在它的末尾。起居室的位置也是战略性的接近这个线性结束，以利用良好的意见沿东北方向的后方边界。

On the first storey, the house is to be read in a linear fashion with the main corridor acting as a central guiding axis. The rest of the spaces is plugged and arranged along it, revealing a relatively intimate space, the living room at the end of it. The living room is also located strategically towards the end of this linearity to capitalise on the good views along the northeast of the rear boundary.

这条走廊的空间顺序是：娱乐室、楼梯到二楼、起居室和餐厅，而服务区和客房则位于这些公共空间的后面。走廊沿线空间的这种明确隔离确保了公共空间以外的直接流通。体积在两个层次的块之间被刺穿，允许自然光和内部空间内的交叉通风。

The sequence of spaces unfolds along this corridor: entertainment room, staircase to second storey, living and dining room whilst the service area and guest room are placed behind these public spaces. This clear segregation of spaces along the corridor ensures straightforward circulation beyond communal spaces. The volume is punctured between blocks on both levels, allowing natural light and cross ventilation within the inner spaces.

一楼图则

砌块之间的内部空间与石材、板桥和玻璃外壳相互连接。庭院建在两个街区之间，为家人和朋友提供了一个亲密的娱乐场所，供他们社交，还可以在无限长的膝上游泳池边放松身心。它还与木甲板连接到后草坪，并允许室外空间的连续性。

Internal spaces between blocks are interconnected with stone/timber slat bridges and glass enclosure. Courtyard is created in between blocks and it provides an intimate entertainment area for family and friends to socialise and also to relax by the side of a long infinity lap pool. It is also linked with a wooden deck to the rear lawn and allows continuity of outdoor spaces.

相反，第二项要求提供了一个机会，使房子周围的环境美化费用不高。房子的每一部分，特别是房间和公共空间，向绿色植物和周围的景色敞开。在起居室加入一个大的旋转屏幕，进一步模糊了内部空间和景观之间的界限，从而在保护业主隐私的同时，吸引了周围的绿色。此外，圈池继续并演变成一个水的特征，注入和编织自己的建筑体积。

The second request instead provided opportunities for a modest expense of landscaping around the house. Each part of the house, especially the rooms and communal spaces open out to the greenery and surrounding vistas. The inclusion of a large pivoting screen at the living room further blurs the boundaries between internal spaces and the landscape, thereby engaging the surrounding green whilst protecting the owners’ privacy. Furthermore, the lap pool continues and evolves to become a water feature, which injects and weaves itself into the building volume.
