If you have the opportunity to build your dream house with views of Sydney Harbour, you are extremely lucky.

如果你有机会用悉尼海港的美景建造你的梦想房子，你会很幸运。

A site in Vaucluse gave the owners the opportunity to realize their dream with views across Sydney Harbour to Middle Head and direct access to the Sydney Harbour foreshore.

沃克卢兹的一个地点让业主们有机会实现他们的梦想，通过悉尼海港到中间的头，并直接进入悉尼港的前滨。

They selected Sydney-based architect Matthew Woodward and his team of Patrick Maitland, Nicholas Papas and John Deuchrass for the project.

他们选择了悉尼的建筑师马修·伍德沃德和他的帕特里克·梅特兰，尼古拉斯·帕帕斯和约翰·杜克拉斯组成的团队参加了这个项目。

They wanted a functional and technologically advanced home for their young family that includes the parents plus one daughter and two sons.

他们希望为他们年轻的家庭建立一个功能强大、技术先进的家庭，其中包括父母、一个女儿和两个儿子。

But they also wanted a home that not only meets their daily needs but also functions as a place for relaxation, rest and entertainment while taking full advantage of the views, the site and the lush nature around it.

但他们还希望有一个家庭不仅满足他们的日常需求，而且还可以作为放松、休息和娱乐的场所，同时充分利用周围的景观、场地和郁郁葱葱的大自然。

In addition, they wanted to future-proof their home to the extent possible. Matthew Woodward tells The Cool Hunter more about this: “The clients required a house that was ‘future proof’ in respect to allowing flexibility in spatial organisation, facilitating potential advances in electrical and audio visual technologies, solar improvements etc.”

此外，他们还想尽可能地保护自己的家.马修·伍德沃德(Matthew Woodward)对“酷猎手”(Cool Hunter)说：“客户需要一套”未来证明“的房子，以允许空间组织的灵活性，促进电气和视听技术的潜在进步，以及太阳能的改进等。”

Woodward also says that this was not easy. “This was incredibly challenging given the nature of the build being exposed off form concrete construction, and containing large spans of glazing. You only have one chance to run services and cast them in place! Extra conduits were installed, redundancy in power capacity facilitated, and zones structured to allow for various modes of operation.”

伍德沃德还说这并不容易。“这是令人难以置信的挑战，考虑到建筑的性质，暴露在混凝土结构，并包含大跨度的玻璃。您只有一次机会运行服务，并将它们抛到适当的位置！安装了额外的管道，增加了电力容量的冗余，并建立了允许各种运行方式的区域。“

“Lots of diagrams, visual studies, and photomontages were produced throughout the design and construction process in order to review the impact of our decisions. It was very much a collaborative process with our clients as they were heavily involved in the decision making. I can’t recall how many iterations of the entry ‘portal’ were created and quickly discarded!”

“在整个设计和建造过程中产生了大量的图表、视觉研究和光本体，以审查我们的决定的影响。这在很大程度上是一个与我们的客户协作的过程，因为他们在很大程度上参与了决策。我不记得有多少次的条目‘门户’的迭代被创建和迅速丢弃！“

Passive solar heating and cooling are now inherent within the design through careful site- responsive planning, considered location of openings, external shading devices and thermal mass. A rooftop solar array assists to offset electricity demand, and rainwater is harvested for use throughout the house and around the site.

被动太阳能加热和冷却现在是固有的，通过仔细的现场响应规划，考虑到开口的位置，外部遮阳设备和热质量的设计。屋顶太阳能阵列有助于抵消电力需求，并收集雨水供整个房屋和周围的地点使用。

The painstaking preparations and close collaboration with the client has produced a gorgeously harmonious home with an elegant, yet surprisingly compact overall appearance.

经过精心的准备和与客户的密切合作，形成了一个优雅而又令人惊讶的简洁的整体外观的华丽和谐的家。

The 439 square-metre (4,703 sq. ft) residence hugs the site and does not impose itself onto the landscape.

439平方米(4，703平方米)英国“金融时报”(FT)官邸拥抱网站，并没有把自己强加在景观上。

Curved forms repeat in the staircase, railings, skylight and even furnishings. The house is completely void of distractions in terms of materials and colours. And the views from the home are the artwork that the residents will never regret emphasizing in their brief. – Tuija Seipell.

弯曲的形式在楼梯，栏杆，天窗，甚至家具中反复出现。这所房子在材料和颜色上完全没有干扰。来自家庭的意见是居民永远不会后悔在他们的简报中强调的艺术品。-Tuija Seipell
