架构师提供的文本描述。这个地点，就在新南威尔士州中北海岸钻石海滩的沙丘后面，非常平坦，对湿地的看法也不多。靠近海洋将使海滨生活方式，然而，房子无法进入海景提供舒适。因此，设计需要在这种背景下工作，并从内部提供舒适。这是一个度假的大家庭，他们经常外出与其他家庭，所以设施需要10-15人。土地上的一份契约规定这所房子是用砖瓦建造的。

Text description provided by the architects. This site, just behind the sand dunes of Diamond Beach on the mid north coast of NSW, is very flat and has a modest view over wetlands. The proximity of the ocean would enable a beachside lifestyle, however the house couldn’t access ocean views to provide the amenity. The design therefore needed to work in this context and provide the amenity from within. This is a holiday house for a large family, who frequently travel away with other families, so facilities for 10 – 15 people were required. A covenant on the land dictated that the house was to built using brick and tile.

 Floor Plan

该设计由四个部分组成，围绕着一个中央法院。居住空间，两个不同的成人睡眠区和一个儿童区域。居住空间有一个热质量板，面向北方。两个成年人的睡眠区是完全相同的父母休息区，在相对的角落，而孩子的区域有一个男孩和女孩的寝室和一个电视区。这四个组件中的每一个都由一个有屋顶的甲板隔开，其中要么是吊床，要么是餐厅空间，或者是入口。一个单一的屋顶包裹在庭院，所有这些空间，简化屋顶排水和提供统一。

The design is comprised of four components, wrapping around a central court. Living space, two different adult sleeping areas and a kids area. The living space has a slab for thermal mass and faces North. The two adult sleeping areas are identical parental retreats at opposite corners, while the kids area has a boys and girls bunkroom and a TV area. Each of the four components is separated by a roofed deck, which either houses hammocks, a dining space or the entry. A monopitch roof wraps around the courtyard, over all these spaces, simplifying roof drainage and providing unity.

滑动屏幕的穿孔迷你球关闭屋顶甲板在建筑物的边缘，以便他们是安全的，当房子不使用。他们还屏蔽不受欢迎的太阳和天气。第二套屏风环绕着内部庭院，这也是为了抵御恶劣的天气和长期缺勤。

Sliding screens of perforated mini orb close off the roofed decks at the edge of the building, so that they are secure when the house is not in use. They also screen the undesirable sun and weather. A second set of screens wrap around the internal courtyard which also protect against inclement weather and cater for prolonged absences.
