架构师提供的文本描述。概念框架

Text description provided by the architects. Conceptual Framework

我们的核心信念之一是具体性和独创性。我们重新对待每个项目，并将其视为一个不断发展和开放的过程，而不是固定的或植根于任何先入为主的想法。我们的影响是多种多样的，但我们避免被趋势或时尚所束缚，也不以公式化或规定的方式对待项目。特别是，我们把房屋看作是一个改善特定环境的机会，并在不断探索和提升“美好生活”概念的过程中，提供了一个新的场所和程序的覆盖和阅读。

One of our core beliefs is that of specificity and originality. We approach each project anew and see it as a constantly evolving and open ended process, not fixed or rooted in any preconceived ideas. Our influence is varied, however we avoid being captive to trends or fashion and do not approach projects in a formulaic or prescribed way. In particular we see houses as an opportunity to enhance a particular circumstance and provide a new overlay and reading of place and program, in the continual search and upgrade of the notion of the “good life”

建筑形式与语境的关系

Relationship of Built Form to Context

房子的形式来源于其环境的局限性。这个狭窄的场地陡峭地斜过它的宽度，其长度向东向海洋。毗邻的婚礼蛋糕岛和东南部需要保持在较高的水平，墙壁的角度和倾斜的平面和海拔，以使这一情况发生。由此产生的角度几何创造了一种形式，相当强烈地相关的折衷的混合地区，包含现代和更传统的住房类型。建筑物不是单一的，也不是静态的，观察者的感知会根据观察的地点而不断变化。

The form of the house is derived from the limitations of its context. The narrow site slopes steeply across its width with the length facing east to the ocean. Neighbour views of Wedding Cake Island and the southeast needed to be maintained At the upper level the walls angle and tilt in plan and elevation in order to allow this to occur. The resulting angular geometry creates a form that relates quite strongly to eclectic mix of the area, containing modern and more traditional housing types. The building is not singular or static, with the observer’s perception constantly changing depending on where it is viewed from.

Program Resolution

MASQ架构

在房子里有两个明确的规划步骤。一个是把起居的主卧室放在楼上。在这个层次上，景观是最广阔和美丽的，并付出了很小的代价，因为被切断连接的花园是锁在附近的财产。其余的卧室和喧闹位于较低层，可进入花园和游泳池，这样可在需要时使成人和儿童之间有声音和视觉上的隔离。第二步是在顶层和底层之间放置入口中间。这解决了一个人走进卧室的感觉，第二，让人慢慢地温和地上升到起居室。

There are two defining programmatic moves in the house. One was to place the living and master bedroom on the upper floor. At this level the views are most expansive and beautiful, and small price to pay from being disconnected from the garden which is locked in by neighbouring properties. The remaining bedrooms and rumpus are located on the lower level with access to garden and pool, which allows for the acoustic and visual separation between adults and children when required. The second move was to place the entry intermediate between the top and ground floor. This solved the problem of feeling that one is walking into a bedroom level and secondly allowed a gentle and gradual ascent to the living room.

成本和其他学科

Cost and Other Disciplines

这座房子有一个实用而简单的建筑系统，将其覆盖在其几何结构上，以使成本在预算范围内。天花板细节和凹进照明被用来覆盖梁和钢连接处的台阶。整个砖混结构创造了一个简单的建筑过程和方便的贸易协调。细节很简单，强调整洁。

The house had a pragmatic and simple construction system overlayed onto its geometry in order to keep the cost within budget. Ceiling details and recessed lighting was used to cover step down in beams and steel junctions. The full brick and concrete construction created a simple building process and ease of trade coordination. Detailing was simple with an emphasis on neatness.

Sustainability

良好的热质量加上交叉通风和向东北方向是房屋的主要被动环境特征。生活空间通过百叶窗和窗帘调节光线，没有西方的光线。南库吉的房子很独特。这种形式源于其背景的局限性，而不是出于需要发表声明的需要。它显示了一个非传统的建筑形式如何可以舒适地休息在它的背景，以及如何建立的概念街道前实际上是不相关的，在不同的环境。在许多方面，房子与其说是“形式跟随功能”，不如说是“形式是必然的”，因此也就没有别的办法了。

Good thermal mass coupled with cross ventilation and orientation to north east are the main passive environmental features of the house. The living space modulates light through blinds and curtains and there is no exposure to western such. The house at South Coogee is distinctive. The form is derived from the limitations of its context and not from the need to make a statement. It shows how a non conventional building form can rest comfortably within its context and how the established notion of street front is actually irrelevant within diverse settings. In many ways the house is not so much "Form follows Function", but "Form follows Necessity" and as such could be no other way.

这所房子是一个避难所，它是坚固的和坚固的，以抵抗攻击的元素在其所在的位置。它可以是黑暗，光线，凉爽，或温暖，对季节和需要作出反应，为其居民提供最大的便利，从中思考周围的自然环境的美丽。

The house is a sanctuary, it is solid and robust to resist the battering of the elements in its location. It can be dark, light, cool, or warm, responding to season and needs, providing its inhabitants the greatest amenity from which to contemplate the surrounding beauty of the natural environment.
