Set on a windswept hillside overlooking Bass Straight sits a modular home that allows the epic coastal location to be experienced in all its many states. The project evolved from a pragmatic response to the challenges of occupying an exposed coastal site. Winds, often extreme, shaped the design with the house acting as a barrier and protecting the external courtyard tucked in behind.

设计中最重要的部分是将住宅内外的空间进行合理组织，以确保在一天及一年中的任何时候都能给人提供最好的庇护，同时可以享受自然之美。

Important to the design was the organisation of internal and external living spaces to ensure they provide shelter at different times of the day and year while still allowing the amazing views to be experienced from within.

该住宅以两个基本的建筑空间为设计出发点，其一覆盖柚木表皮，另一个空间以锌版贴面。两种对比的材质使建筑配合气候而展现冷暖的改变。木质材料包裹入口及车库形成了封闭式的露天庭院，在这里，居住者可以躲避大风的侵袭。由锌版贴面的住宅主要部分在场地中伸展，于景观中突显出来设计师必读书籍。

Conceptually upon approach the house is designed as two simple volumes – one clad in pacific teak timber, the other clad in zinc. The contrasting materials will continue to change as they weather and provide a warm counterpart to the wild coastal setting. Timber wraps around the entry and garage to form an enclosed courtyard housing a pool – a space which provides the clients with another haven from the wind. The main house, clad in zinc, stretches across the site and follows the contours of the land.

四居室住宅围绕中央区域环绕，该中央区域可作为厨房，餐厅或客厅。大面积玻璃墙壁的使用使人感受到从西部沙滩，到南部山岩的多维度观景体验。厨房作为住宅的心脏，也是室内和室外空间的交汇处，是人享受美景与晚餐的绝佳之选。这座300平方米的住宅，功能齐全满足度假屋的所有需求。住宅一端的娱乐空间可以临时改变为卧室，内置的上下铺床位可以满足附加需求。主卧室由玻璃墙分隔，通过滑动门与其他空间保持连通。

The four bedroom house is organised around a central kitchen/living/dining space. With plenty of glass, the space captures a wide spread of incredible views – from the sandy beach to the west, to the rocky heads in the south. The kitchen is at the heart of the home and becomes the intermediary space between both indoor and outdoor living – perfect for keeping an eye on the kids in the pool while preparing a meal. Meeting all the functional requirements for an efficient holiday home, the 300sqm design is flexible enough to cater for extended family members. A large rumpus room at one end of the house can be screened off from the bunk beds to form an extra room when needed. The private master suite is separated by a glass linking space which includes sliding timber screens that can be used to lock-up outdoor furniture while away.

对居住者来说，在沐浴的同时感受户外风光也是一种绝佳的体验，设计师用一面玻璃窗将海岸风光暴露于浴室之中，让使用者在这栋住宅的每一个角落都能感受到宁静祥和的氛围。

For the clients, a desire to sit in the bath and look out to the untamed coastline was a must and the end result certainly delivered – a quiet retreat from the bustle of their Melbourne lives.
