The G’Day House is a commission for an Australian ex-patriate family, who requested a home that would support a relaxed attitude toward daily life and would help them re-connect with a warm-weather lifestyle. Column-free sliding doors at the Southeast corner of the house effectively double the size of the living area when open; indoor and outdoor spaces hold equal priority. Materials, form, and spatial relationships are intended to evoke the feel of a beach house: simple, casual and flexible. The dining table and wood-burning fireplace can both be rotated to support a variety of arrangements depending on weather and number of guests.

G‘Day House是一个澳大利亚前父系家庭的委托，他要求建立一个家庭，以支持他们对日常生活的轻松态度，并帮助他们重新融入温暖的天气生活方式。无柱滑动门位于房屋的东南角，开门时有效地将起居面积扩大了一倍；室内和室外空间同等重要。材料、形式和空间关系的目的是唤起海滨别墅的感觉：简单、随意和灵活。餐桌和燃木壁炉都可以旋转，以支持各种安排取决于天气和人数的客人。

As avid hosts, the clients felt that the kitchen should anchor the primary living spaces at the upper floor. Combining the dining room and kitchen into a single long space allowed for a narrow floor-plate and resulted in a generous side-yard area, used for outdoor cooking. A reflecting pond and fence at the scale of house connect this space with an open terrace to the South and an enclosed garden to the North while creating privacy to the street. This sequence of outdoor spaces from front yard to terrace encourages the direct exterior arrival of guests to the kitchen.

作为热情的主人，客人们觉得厨房应该把主要的起居空间固定在楼上。将餐厅和厨房合并成一个狭长的空间，可以形成一个狭小的地板，并形成一个宽敞的侧面庭院区域，用于户外烹饪。在房子规模的反射池塘和栅栏连接这个空间与开放的露台到南方和一个封闭的花园在北方，同时创造隐私的街道。从前院到露台的这一系列室外空间鼓励客人直接来到厨房。
