In the heart of Sydney, Australia, one architectural and design company has gone out of their way to create the most comfortable home possible for the city’s hot climate thanks in huge part to unique climate control efforts! Anderson Architecture specifically built Waverley House to give a young family their dream space without having to worry about feeling too hot during the days or too cold at night.

在澳大利亚悉尼市中心，一家建筑和设计公司已经竭尽全力为城市的炎热气候创造了最舒适的家园，这在很大程度上要归功于独特的气候控制努力！安德森建筑专门为一个年轻的家庭提供了他们的梦想空间，而不必担心白天太热或者晚上太冷。

Designers based their plans for this home around the widely accepted tenet that any home can feel like a relaxing retreat if the climate control is only done right. That’s why they aimed to create a space that’s light-filled and bathed in the sun’s natural rays, but without heating up intensely during summer days like some home’s that get lots of sunlight do.

设计师们把这个家的计划建立在一个被广泛接受的原则的基础上，那就是，只要气候控制得当，任何一个家都能感觉到一种放松的退却。这就是为什么他们的目标是创造一个充满阳光和沐浴在阳光下的空间，但在夏季不会像一些得到大量阳光的家庭那样强烈地加热。

This presented unique urban zoning challenges, particularly on a plot that actually directly faces the intense Aussie sun. Furthermore, the owning family also very much desired easy and open access to their spacious backyard and nature elements, meaning less division than usual between interior and exterior spaces would take place to keep temperatures constant.

这带来了独特的城市分区挑战，特别是在一个直接面对强烈的澳大利亚阳光的地块上。此外，拥有家庭也非常希望轻松和开放地进入他们宽敞的后院和自然元素，这意味着内部和外部空间之间的分隔会比通常少，以保持温度不变。

First, designers sought to really maximize their opportunity for sunlight by working upwards in order to counteract the towering homes around theirs and prevent the new structure from being overshadowed. They also included a double-height living room space that lets sunlight spill in from a sort of vertical void leading straight up into the sky. In fact, the slanted room at this point of the house actually folds open entirely for days when sunlight and breeze are particularly desired.

首先，设计师们试图通过向上工作来最大限度地利用阳光，以抵消他们周围高耸的房屋，并防止新结构被遮蔽。它们还包括一个双高的起居室空间，让阳光从一种垂直的空隙中直接射入天空。事实上，在房子的这一点倾斜的房间实际上完全折叠了几天，当阳光和微风是特别需要的时候。

For those particularly hot Australian summer days, designers incorporated a series of hanging louvres that are temperature triggered to self-adjust. These can pull across and screen the vertical “sunlight void” when necessary in order to reduce heat and keep the home a little cooler all around, since the living room is central.

对于那些特别炎热的澳大利亚夏季，设计师加入了一系列的悬挂百叶窗，这是温度触发的自我调节。当必要的时候，这些可以穿过并屏蔽垂直的“阳光空洞”，以减少热量，并使家里周围的地方保持一点凉爽，因为客厅是中央的。

Of course, the folding roof can’t stay open all the time, since it does rain in Australia! That’s why designers conceptualized and included a moving roof form, high above the living room and even the terrace, that can be closed remotely using a smartphone or tablet. This basically puts the owners in complete control but takes the pressure off remembering to make adjustments when they’re busy, since automatic triggers will account for those times.

当然，折叠式屋顶不能一直开着，因为澳大利亚确实下雨了！这就是为什么设计师概念化，并包括一个移动屋顶形式，很高以上的客厅，甚至露台，可以远程关闭使用智能手机或平板电脑。这基本上是让业主完全控制，但减轻压力，记得作出调整时，他们忙，因为自动触发器将考虑到这些时间。

As you can see from the photos, most of the house features impressively high windows. These are made from Low-E window class that was cost-effective during building and makes for an eco-friendly choice. These windows are high thermal performance and are featured all throughout the home, helping to regulate temperatures and keep them a little more constant no matter the time of year.

从照片中你可以看到，大多数房子的窗户都高得令人印象深刻。这些都是从低E窗口类，这是成本效益的建设和一个生态友好的选择。这些窗户具有很高的热性能，而且在整个家庭中都有特色，有助于调节温度，并使它们在一年中的任何时候都保持不变。

In the event that the colder months dip below average, the house also features solar powered, hydronic underfloor heating. This can add a little extra warmth to the home centrally, but it’s rarely needed thanks to the other temperature regulators in place. Thanks to the concrete flooring and reverse brick veneer, the indoor temperatures in Waverley House actually remain stable in all but the most extreme weather conditions.

在较冷的月份平均值低于平均值的情况下，该房屋还具有太阳能、循环地板下加热。这可以给家里增加一点额外的温暖，但由于其他的温度调节器就位，很少需要它。由于混凝土地板和倒砖饰面，Waverley房屋的室内温度实际上仍然保持稳定，但最极端的气候条件。
