The brief asked for low-maintenance, energy efficient units, which were addressed through proper solar orientation and sensitive design. The aesthetic of Samurai Duplex was partly in response to the owner’s appreciation for Japanese architecture and culture; traditional samurai armour provided inspiration for some of the forms and the aesthetic of wall claddings used. Two duplex townhouses were proposed to replace an existing weatherboard house in a quiet, leafy suburban environment. The units were designed to maximise floor area while respecting the surrounding neighbourhood context.

简要要求低维护，节能的单位，通过适当的太阳能方向和敏感的设计来解决这些问题。武士双院的美学部分是由于主人对日本建筑和文化的欣赏；传统的武士盔甲为一些形式和所使用的墙板的美学提供了灵感。建议在一个安静、多叶的郊区环境中，用两栋复式联排别墅来取代现有的风挡屋。这些单位的设计目的是在尊重周边环境的同时，最大限度地扩大楼面面积。

Large skillion roofs with vast overhangs help to express forms and provide shelter from the natural elements. Chain downpipes create a point of interest upon arrival and also heighten one’s aural and sensory experience during rainy days. Glass skylights are scattered throughout bathroom and living areas, to ensure an abundance of natural light in all rooms and create a strong connection with the outdoors. Skylights located over bathtubs allow one to relax and ponder while gazing out at the sky and clouds above.

巨大的悬垂屋顶有助于表达形式，并为自然元素提供庇护。下水管在到达时创造了一个兴趣点，并在雨天提高了你的听觉和感官体验。玻璃天窗散落在浴室和生活区域，以确保所有房间都有充足的自然光线，并与户外有很强的联系。浴缸上方的天窗可以让人在凝视天空和云彩的同时放松和思考。

High-level clerestory windows with operable louvres allow for cross-flow ventilation and create a ‘venturi effect’ to extract heat in summer. Green roofs were originally proposed for the first roof areas to increase thermal insulation and rainwater retention, while also creating secondary “backyards” for upper living areas.

具有可操作百叶窗的高层窗户允许横流通风，并在夏天产生“文丘里效应”来提取热量。最初为第一个屋顶区域提出了绿色屋顶，以增加隔热和雨水保留，同时也为上部生活区创造了次要“后院码”。
