架构师提供的文本描述。客户在他们的简报中很清楚：创建一个谨慎的、私人的、低层的小型海滩别墅(除了现有的小别墅外)，以最大限度地利用美景、阳光和户外生活，并将客人的娱乐作为优先事项。

Text description provided by the architects. The clients were clear in their brief: to create a discreet and private low-rise small beach house, (additional to the existing cottage on site), which maximized great views, sun and outdoor living with entertainment of guests as a priority.

这个概念是一个玻璃和雪松外壳，只显示一个百叶窗盒到海岸，以了解风景和天气风暴。隐秘和非常私密的入口有一种欢迎的住宅感觉，使用一个倒臀部屋顶，玻璃入口门廊和铺设浴室的盒子。这座房子是一种精心设计的干预措施，旨在使其与沙丘、种植和亚麻混合在一起。无论天气如何，它都能给人一种退却的感觉。

The concept was a glass and cedar enclosure revealing only a shuttered box to the coast to take in views and weather storms. The concealed and very private entry has a welcoming residential feel achieved using an inverse hip roof, glazed entry porch and ply bathroom box. The house is a carefully crafted intervention designed to silver off to blend with dunes, planting and flaxes. It offers a sense of retreat no matter what the weather.

解决办法是移除和保存现有的植被以恢复原状，并拆除沙丘的顶部，从而使太阳继续到达后面的小屋。这所房子位于尽可能西边的“无建造线”上，西边的玻璃用雪松百叶窗保护着。北窗开放，将厨房和餐厅与室外娱乐区和壁炉结合起来。

The solution was to remove and preserve existing vegetation for reinstatement, and nestle the house in by removing the top of the dune thus allowing sun to continue to reach the cottage behind. The house was sited as far west as possible on the “no-build line”, with west glazing protected by sliding cedar shutters. North glazing opens to unite the kitchen and dining with the outdoor entertainment area and fireplace.

这座新房子的设计是为了与老房子保持一致，在两者之间创建一个花园入口，并通过匹配的台阶将室外甲板区域连接起来。现场的树木被保存下来。

The new house was designed to go with the old by creating a garden entry between the two with sheltered outdoor deck areas linked by matching steps. Trees onsite were preserved.

入口是通过现有的车库，以保持隐私，从街道和惊喜客人与新的海滩房子。室内是安静而平静的，是风景的衬托。木材技术已被用来实现饼干，苗条的地板和屋顶，没有梁下浮动外观。双Glu-LAM悬臂梁，用于结构入口和跨越所有主要开口.

Entry is through the existing garage to maintain privacy from the street and to surprise guests with the new beach house. The interior is quiet and calm, a foil to the view. Timber technology has been used to achieve a biscuit slim floor and roof with no under beams for a floating appearance. Double glu-lam beams cantilever to structure the entry and span over all the major openings.
