架构师提供的文本描述。从紧靠斜坡的环流箱中突出出来的一个半岛，空间的平面拐弯处向悉尼的头部敞开着闪闪发亮的海港的广阔空间。从本质上讲，这是一条梯田山坡，四周环绕着玻璃般的“成堆”，陡峭的水池和露台，充分利用了悉尼的一流景观，赫尔德利卡宫(Hrdlicka House)在选址和紧凑方面显得过于谦逊。入口紧靠着停放甲板，从早期的发展中保留下来。虽然房屋的大部分沿工地水平分布，但紧绷的南面入口向北分红，在那里，通往起居区的简易露台延伸处包含了天然岩石和场地的轮廓。在末端，形状的池，就像一个阿尔托花瓶一样，既远离房子，又在放置上是离散的。

Text description provided by the architects. Conceived of as a peninsular jutting out from the circulation box abutting the slope, the planar inflection of the space opens to the shimmering expanse of harbour towards Sydney Heads. Essentially a strip of terraced hillside hemmed in by glazed 'piles' sporting steeply retained pools and patios that exploit Sydney's premier views, the Hrdlicka House seems unduly modest in siting and compactness. The entry sits tightly against the parking deck, retained from an earlier development. Although the bulk of the house spreads horizontally along the site, the tight southern entry pays dividends to the north, where the easy patio extension to the living area incorporates natural rock and the contours of the site. At the far end the shaped pool, like that of an Aalto vase, is both remote from the house and discrete in its placement.
