Melbourne based Studiofour have created a contemporary coastal home that despite its black skin and cubist design it allows the coastal landscape take center stage. The house is located within the Moonah Links Golf Course on the Mornington peninsula in Fingal, Australia.

总部位于墨尔本的Studiofour创造了一个当代海岸家园，尽管它的黑色皮肤和立体派设计，它允许沿海景观的中心舞台。这座房子位于Moonah链接高尔夫球场内，位于澳大利亚Fingal的Mornington半岛。

Our challenge was to demonstrate that a custom architectural solution could achieve our client’s budget whilst responding directly to the essence of the site and its location. The house demonstrates that we could not only capture the sense of place, but we could also deliver a competitive cost effective solution.

我们面临的挑战是，一个定制的架构解决方案可以实现我们客户的预算，同时直接响应站点的本质及其位置。这所房子表明，我们不仅可以捕捉到的位置感，而且我们还可以提供一个具有竞争力的、成本效益高的解决方案。

A simple brief and program requirements, teamed with a dramatic site characterised by a steep slope and a single tea tree, enabled the design to become an exploration into enclosing the basic rituals of domestic life within restrained building forms, whilst at the same time exposing the building’s program to varying levels of interaction with the surrounding landscape, both immediate and beyond.

一个简单的简短和程序要求，加上一个以陡坡和一棵茶树为特征的引人注目的地点，使设计成为一种探索，将家庭生活的基本仪式封装在被限制的建筑形式中，同时使该建筑的项目受到与周围景观的不同程度的互动，无论是直接的还是更远的。

Emphasis becomes not on the insular and what has been designed, but what nature has provided and drawing this readily available genius loci inside for all to experience. The front elevation comprises solely of blackened timber walls, punctured only to signify the entry. The use of black timber cladding increases the perception of the building form sitting low within the existing native grasses and tree shadows, and this in turn helps promote opportunities to connect intimately with the landscape.

重点不在于岛屿和设计，而在于大自然提供了什么，并把这些现成的天才轨迹画在里面，让所有的人都能体验到。前立面完全由黑木墙组成，刺穿只是为了表示入口处。使用黑木覆层增加了建筑形式在现有的乡土草和树影中低矮的感觉，这反过来又有助于促进与景观密切联系的机会。

In stark contrast to the surrounding houses, which attempt to cancel out the sloping topography by creating a podium level at which the outdoor areas sit exposed high above ground level, the design for this house adopted a gentler strategy, with the building form spilling down the slope to terminate in a series of terraced decks. These low lying decks provide privacy from the golf course below, whilst the surrounding native landscape shelters the outdoor areas from harsh prevailing winds.

与周围的房屋形成鲜明对比的是，这些房屋试图通过创造一个露台层，将室外区域置于较高的地面之上，以此来抵消斜坡的地形。这座房子的设计采用了一种更温和的策略，建筑形式从斜坡上溢出，最终形成一系列梯级甲板。这些低矮的甲板提供了从下面的高尔夫球场的隐私，而周围的本土景观遮蔽了室外地区，使其免受强风的侵袭。

The form of the building was also driven by the desire to separate the public and private zones of the residence. The kitchen, dining and living spaces are combined to create a single, fluid area, delineated only by a gentle level change and a fireplace / storage element. These elements provide the level of intimacy required by the client whilst also allowing the advantages provided by open planning. The panelised matte black wall to the kitchen conceals a powder room, laundry and butler’s pantry, providing the high level of functionality required, while maintaining the calm qualities of the open plan space.

该建筑的形式也是出于将住宅的公共和私人区域分开的愿望。厨房、餐厅和生活空间结合在一起，形成一个单一的、流畅的区域，只有通过一个温和的水平变化和壁炉/存储元素来划定。这些要素提供了客户所需的亲密程度，同时也允许开放计划所提供的好处。厨房的黑色墙面覆盖着洗衣房、洗衣房和管家的储藏室，提供了高水平的所需功能，同时保持了开放式空间的平静品质。

The design for this contemporary coastal home stems from an exploration into the absence of what is not necessary, in both building form and detail, which is at the core of sustainable design. Renewable timber was selected as the primary building material. Used both internally and externally, its natural aesthetic properties are complemented by the low energy levels required in its production, which significantly reduce the environmental impact of the building.

这个当代沿海住宅的设计源于对没有必要的东西的探索，无论是建筑形式还是细节，这都是可持续设计的核心。可再生木材被选为主要建筑材料。它的内部和外部使用，其自然美学特性与其生产所需的低能量水平补充，这大大减少了建筑的环境影响。

The design located the eastern end of the lower level below the natural ground line, with concrete slab flooring and block work walls providing a high thermal mass, to balance the large expanses of glazing to the north and west. The upper level is cantilevered, with the timber construction incorporating high levels of insulation throughout.

该设计位于天然地线下方较低层的东端，混凝土板地板和砌块工作墙提供了较高的热质量，以平衡北面和西面的大面积玻璃。上层是悬臂，木材结构采用高水平的绝缘贯穿始终。

With views to the golf course to the west, all windows and glazed doors were double glazed with high performance glass, enabling a strong connection to the landscape without compromising the integrity of the building fabric. The existing tea tree became a critical element to the locations of windows, providing sun shading to the internal living areas. Access to daylight was maximised, with all windows full height, and predominantly openable to maximise natural ventilation throughout. These core sustainable design principles were teamed with underground water storage, water saving fixtures, low voc paints and materials, to complete the sustainable approach. Following completion of the house, the site is being re-vegetated with native species endemic to the local area.

从西面看高尔夫球场，所有的窗户和玻璃门都是双层玻璃窗，采用高性能玻璃，在不影响建筑织物的完整性的情况下，能够与景观紧密相连。现有茶树成为窗户位置的关键因素，为内部生活区提供遮阳。在所有窗户全高的情况下，最大限度地增加了采光通道，并且主要可打开，从而最大限度地提高整个过程中的自然通风。这些核心可持续设计原则与地下水储存、节水装置、低碳涂料和材料相结合，以完成可持续的方法。房屋完工后，该场地正在重新种植当地特有的本地物种。

Varying levels of interaction and connection with the landscape, both real and perceived, drove all aspects of the design, from the channelled views of the horizon upon entry, through to the double height picture window that captures the full proportion of the tea tree, and the direct and intimate connection provided by the low level decks.

与景观的不同程度的互动和联系，无论是真实的还是可感知的，都推动了设计的各个方面，从进入时地平线的通道视图，到捕捉茶树全部比例的双高图片窗口，以及低层甲板提供的直接和亲密的联系。
