架构师提供的文本描述。这份简报呼吁建立一个家庭度假屋，在那里，家人可以在一起，但不能相依为命。从维多利亚莫宁顿半岛的巴尔纳林海滩步行大约5分钟，朝北的宽阔街区为建造这样的房子提供了绝佳的机会。茶树和银行是20世纪50年代风格的纤维棚屋的沙质车道，与现代住宅交替，表明了该地区的持续发展。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief called for a family holiday house where family could be together but not on top of one another. The wide, north-facing block some 5 minutes walk from Balnarring Beach on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula offered the perfect opportunity to build such a house. Amongst the tea-tree and banksia are the sandy driveways of 1950s-style fibro shacks alternating with the modern housing indicative of the continuing development of the region.

在同情周围环境的同时，房子的设计试图利用整个场地。单层U形建筑沿着缓缓的坡度向地块的后方走去。综合景观解决方案有助于创造一系列的室内和室外空间。

While sympathetic to its surroundings, the design of the house seeks to make use of the entire site. The single level U-shaped building steps up towards the rear of the block following the gentle slope of the land. An integrated landscape solution helps to create a series of indoor and outdoor spaces.

前翼提供了一个睡眠区远离主要的生活区。这里的家庭房间可以打开到中央庭院，也可以打开一个完全安全的前院，由一个弯曲的垂直栅栏界定，这条栅栏弧形回到房子，连接到一堵弯曲的墙壁，引导游客来到前门。一条玻璃走廊将入口和家庭侧翼连接到后面的生活区，独立站立的脊柱墙隐藏着一个较小的私人庭院，仅由主卧室和书房处理。

The front wing provides a sleeping zone away from the main living areas. A family room here can be opened to the central courtyard and also to a fully-secured front yard defined by a curved, vertical batten fence which arcs back to the house, connecting to a curved wall leading visitors to the front door. A glazed corridor links entry and family wing to the rear living areas with a free-standing spine wall concealing a smaller private courtyard addressed only by the master bedroom and study.

主要生活区通过完全可伸缩的双折叠门直接流入中央空间。梯级甲板提供休闲座位，并连接到有盖的烧烤区，其中包括室外饮食和通往厨房的直通窗口。黑色油漆，水泥板，面板和原始硬木木材覆层，采用外部合并在房子内的地方，对比干净的白色内部灰泥壳。全高度的玻璃和槽窗框架景观，并进一步允许室外空间流经房子。

The main living area flows directly onto the central space via fully retractable bi-fold doors. Terraced decking offers casual seating, and links to a covered BBQ area incorporating outdoor eating with pass-through window to the kitchen. Black painted cement sheet panel and raw hardwood timber cladding used externally merge inside the house in places contrasting against the clean white interior plaster shell. Full height glazing and slot windows frame the landscape and further allow the outdoor spaces to flow through the house.
