架构师提供的文本描述。这片占地18公顷的土地上的生活，随着拥有它近30年之久的家庭的生活而消逝和流动。这个农场从地面发展到一个小果园，由一个成长中的家庭发展而成，现在它正在回归自然状态，因为主人也在退休后逐渐减少。

Text description provided by the architects. The 18 hectare site has had a life that has ebbed and flowed with the life of the family who have owned it for almost 30 years. Developed from the ground up into a small orchard by a growing family the farm is now retreating back to its natural form as the owners also wind down in retirement.

原来的房子在许多年前被细分和出售，而家庭则追求他们生活中不同的一章；新家的机会提供了一个机会来反映客户不断变化的价值观和生活方式。随着他们的参考领域随着年龄的减少，家庭的目的是反映整个网站和它的历史缩影。位于原来的水箱的位置，为果园提供灌溉，为第一家供水，房子现在是财产的新震中。

The original home was subdivided and sold many years ago whilst the family pursued a different chapter of their lives; the opportunity for a new home presented a chance to reflect the changing values and lifestyle of the client. With their field of reference reducing with age the home aims to reflect in miniature the site as a whole and its history. Located on the site of the original water tanks which supplied irrigation to the orchard and water to the first home the house is now the new epicentre of the property.

工地上有一座大水坝，曾经是儿童娱乐的中心，也是果树的水源提供者，新家穿过一个大水坝灌入的池塘，进入室外的房间，可以看到引人注目的景观，这是该场地的特色之一。房子的其余部分围绕着一个庭院花园，同样的兴趣曾经导致了果园的发展，现在这个花园很容易被西红柿、草本植物和其他蔬菜的随意出现给人惊喜。

On the site exists a large dam which was once the centre of entertainment for the children and the provider of water to the fruit trees the new home is entered across a large dam fed pond to the outdoor room which takes in the striking views which are a feature of the site. The rest of the house then wraps around a courtyard garden, the same interest that once led to the development of an orchard now tender a garden which whilst decorative can easily surprise with random appearances of tomatoes, herbs and other vegetables.

所有的家庭元素，生活，工作，车间，放松与花园和风景。慢慢地，原始财产的要素越来越接近房子，越来越多的食物提供植物成为花园的一个组成部分，也反映了客户越来越自给自足的生活方式。

All the elements of the home, living, working, workshop, relaxing engage with both the garden and the view. Slowly the elements of the original property are making their way closer to the house, with more and more food providing plants becoming an integral part of the garden, also reflecting the more self sufficient lifestyle of the client.

这座房子本身比它的前身要环保得多，以低能量照明为主，太阳能热水供暖，60 000多升蓄水，以及用从工地取来的木材和从穿过灌木丛的防火断路上建造的。木材是在现场碾磨和完成，构成了所有的裸露木材，以及地板和大部分的子结构。这所房子是农场和家庭的工作、生活和历史的缩影，继续享受着它的奉献。

The home itself is far more environmentally conscious than its predecessor, with low energy lighting predominant, solar water heating, over 60 000 litres of water storage, and built with timber taken from the site and from fire breaks cut through the bushland. The timber was milled and finished on site and makes up all of the exposed timber as well as the flooring and much of the sub structure. The house is a reflection in miniature of the workings, life, and history of the farm and the family that continue to take enjoy its offerings.
