架构师提供的文本描述。一时冲动，决定在马路对面买一套小房子，这就导致了一个反映客户当前和未来需求的住宅的创建。该计划的基础是一种功能结构，将底层的厨房、餐饮、生活和卧室连接在一起，附属空间在特定地点相连。

Text description provided by the architects. A spur of the moment decision to purchase a small house literally across the road has lead to the creation of a home that reflected the clients current and future needs. The plan has as its basis a functional structure linking kitchen, dining, living and bedrooms at ground floor level into which ancillary spaces connect at specific points.

这一结构被一个明确的入口空间覆盖，该空间将功能和视觉两个层次连接起来，并允许功能和运动的分离。起居区与后方的私人庭院和北面的甲板区相连，提供了一个大的娱乐区域，同时也利用了阿德莱德通常温和的气候条件。

This structure was overlaid by a defined entry space which connects the two levels, functionally and visually and allows separation of functions and movement. The living areas connect to both the private courtyard in the rear and a deck area to the north to provide a large entertaining area, while also taking advantage of Adelaide’s normally mild climatic conditions.

该建筑在形式上是当代的，使用材料和完成选择，以确保它舒适地坐落在其现有的环境中。形式很简单，以一个单一的Skillion屋顶为上限，添加了细节，以提供一个三维方面的外观。这条路很窄，街景由篱笆、篱笆和树木构成，而不是现有的各种建筑风格。作为回应，现场规划包括将车库与车间一起放置在物业的后面，由一条车道进入，入口和出口都很慷慨。

The building is contemporary in form, using materials and finishes selected to ensure it sits comfortably within its existing context. The form is simple, capped by a single skillion roof with detailing added to provide a three dimensional aspect to the façade. The road is quite narrow, with the streetscape defined by hedges, fences and trees, rather than the existing diverse architectural styles. In response, the site planning included placing the garage to the rear of the property along with the workshop, accessed by a driveway with a generous entry and exit.

为了尽量减少对周围财产的破坏，该建筑物被切割到现场，减少了建筑物后方边界的大部分。使用的材料包括塔斯马尼亚砂岩，奶油砖和锌墙覆层。

In order to minimise the disruption to surrounding properties, the building was cut into the site, reducing the bulk of the building on the rear boundaries. Materials used include Tasmanian sandstone, cream bricks and zinc wall cladding.

设计和设备，以尽量减少能源消耗，建筑外壳是很好的绝缘，北和南地板窗户是遮阳和双层玻璃外高效玻璃。电动百叶窗将太阳对西面的影响降到最低。通过平面图中心的大型混凝土填充脊骨墙提供热质量，以辅助整体的热性能。

Designed and equipped to minimise energy use, the building shell is well insulated, north and south floor windows are shaded and double glazed with high efficiency glass externally. Motorized blinds minimise the impact of the sun on the western façade. A large concrete filled spine wall through the centre of plan provides thermal mass to assist the overall thermal performance.

已将地热空调系统、光伏电池和太阳能热水纳入该项目。到目前为止，能源消耗已接近40%的平均使用量的房子，规模相仿。两个5000升的雨水罐位于车道下的地下，并从屋顶收集雨水。这些设施已连接起来，为厕所冲洗用水，并为后院供水。灰色水循环系统通过沿西部边界和前花园部分地下的浸水管道提供水。

A geothermal air conditioning system, photovoltaic cells and solar hot water have been integrated into the project. To date, energy consumption has been approx 40% of the average usage for a house of comparable size. Two 5000L rainwater tanks are located below ground under the driveway and collect stormwater from the roof. These have been connected to provide water for toilet flushing and to water the rear courtyard. A grey water recycling system provides water via soaker pipes below ground along the western boundary and portion of the front garden.
