一个260平方米的紧凑场地，从两条街道进入，陡峭地倾斜到一个前滩保护区，有一个现有的房子，多年来被一系列低质量的装修毁了。我们的任务是为一个年轻的四口之家设计一个永久的家，并可能至少有一对父母。这个房子要做三件事。
A compact site of 260 square metres, with access from two streets, steeply sloping down to a foreshore reserve, with a pre-existing house, ready ruined by a series of poor quality renovations over the years. The brief was to design a forever home, for a young family of four, and potentially at least one set of parents. The home was to do three things:
1. 成为建筑师关于适度生活和设计的想法的试验场。
2.让她的父母在现场有一个未来的家，有独立的通道，但在同一个屋檐下，有足够的空间来容纳来访的家人和朋友。
3. 尽可能做到环境可持续发展。
1. Be a testing ground for the architect’s ideas about modest living and design;
2. Allow her parents a future home on site with independent access but under the same roof, with enough room to also accommodate visiting family and friends.
3. To be as environmentally sustainable as possible.
这对夫妇已经在现有的近乎荒废的房子里住了四年，才确定了更换房子的计划和理事会的批准。老房子布满了黑霉，简直是对健康的危害；而它的替代品则是一股新鲜空气。
建筑师的反应是利用陡峭的斜坡和第二条街道的优势，福克斯在下面两层设计了一个独立的双钥匙住宿套房和车库，为上面的两层住宅形成一个平台。
The couple had occupied the existing near derelict home for four years before plans and council approvals were finalized for its replacement. Riddled with black mould, the old house was literally a health hazard; its replacement a breath of fresh air.
The architect’s response was to use the steep slope and second street access to best advantage, Fox designed a self-contained dual-key accommodation suite and garage on the lower two levels, forming a podium for the two-level house above.
从下面的次要街道有独立的通道，独立的客房既可以与楼上的主房相连，也可以上锁，完全独立生活。双钥匙住宿包括一间卧室、小厨房、浴室和阳台，以及一个较大的带厨房、浴室、客厅和阳台的单卧室公寓。花园连接是室内规划的核心。主生活层很容易从前面的围墙院子流向客厅，经过中央花园的采光井，流向面向港口和城市的阳台。厨房边上有一个内置的深色日床，是一个安静的午后小憩/阅读的角落。楼上的主卧室有一个小的港湾景观阳台，而儿童卧室则可以俯瞰屋顶的仙人掌花园。
With separate access from the secondary street below, the self-contained guest quarters can either be open to the main house upstairs, or locked for completely independent living. The dual key accommodation includes a bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom and balcony, and a larger one-bedroom apartment with kitchen, bathroom, living room and balcony. Garden connections are central to the interior planning. The main living level flows easily from the front walled courtyard to the living room, past a central garden lightwell and out to a balcony facing the harbor and the city. A built-in deep daybed off the kitchen makes a quiet afternoon napping /reading nook. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a small harbor-view balcony, while the children’s bedrooms overlook rooftop cactus gardens.
材料的调色板是坚固而精致的。楼下的区域使用回收的砖块，有的是原砖，有的是油漆，还有裸露的混凝土地板和天花板。木制品是淡色的胶合板，门窗框是金黄色的Accoya木–可持续采购的。楼上，柔和的调色板看到壁板墙和涂有鸭蛋蓝的切面天花板，以及深靛蓝的地毯。环境可持续设计（ESD）有助于自然调节室内温度，并大大减少能源消耗。楼上所有窗户的木质滑动屏风为顶层降温，使每间卧室都有不同的视野。上层的可操作窗户在夏季将热空气 “吸 “出屋外。
The material palette is robust and refined. Th downstairs areas with recycled bricks either raw or painted, with exposed concrete floors and ceilings. Joinery through is a pale plywood, window and door frames are a blonde Accoya wood – sustainably sourced. Upstairs, the softer palette sees wainscotted walls and a faceted ceiling painted a duck egg blue, with carpets of deep indigo. Environmental sustainable design (ESD) helps to naturally regulate indoor temperature and significantly reduce energy consumption. Timber sliding screens to all the upstairs windows cool the top level and allow changeable outlooks to each bedroom. Operable windows on the upper levels ‘draw’ hot air out of the house in summer.
可持续设计特点包括。太阳能电池板和电池储能装置使房子92%不依赖电网，雨水被收集在水箱中；灰水被回收用于灌溉，吊扇和可操作的玻璃有助于调节室内空气温度，顶层的雪松滑动屏和宽大的屋顶悬垂保护玻璃外墙，水力地板加热，低辐射玻璃窗。
Sustainable Design Features include: Solar panels plus battery storage equips the house to be 92% off the grid, rainwater is harvested in tanks; grey-water is recycled for irrigation, ceiling fans and operable glazing help moderate indoor air temperature, sliding cedar screens and wide roof overhangs on the top level protect glazed façades, hydronic in-slab floor heating, low-E window glazing.
