该地块最初是摄影师大卫-摩尔在布迪半岛的房产的一部分，他在那里建造了由伊恩-麦凯设计的具有开创意义的龙虾海滩房子，在1970年代初。它在20世纪90年代被分割，但仍然是一个灌木丛区，一直没有被建造，直到现在的房子在2020年建成。简要的说，就是在树丛中建造一个低维护的房子。设计和施工历时七年，该地块提出了重大挑战，使得审批和建设过程极为复杂。
The site originally formed part of photographer David Moore’s property on the Bouddi Peninsula, where he built his seminal Lobster Beach house designed by Ian McKay in the early 1970’s. It was subdivided in the 1990’s but remained a bush block and has never been built on until the current house was completed in 2020. The brief was for a low-maintenance house within the trees. Designed and constructed over a seven-year period, the site presented significant challenges which made the approval and building process extremely complex.
该地位于 “皮特沃特和瓦格斯塔夫斑点树胶濒危生态群落 “内，与布迪国家公园接壤，并有风景保护区划–限制了清除和建设的选择。该地块的平均坡度为1/3，在不同深度的风化基岩上的沙子和粘土中，有大型砂岩浮体。据了解，在贯穿场地中心的湿润沟渠中，有脆弱的红冠蟾蜍居住。该地很容易发生丛林火灾事件，房屋的一部分位于最极端的BAL-FZ（火焰区）内。
Sitting within the ‘Pittwater and Wagstaffe Spotted Gum Endangered Ecological Community’, the site shares a boundary with Bouddi National Park and has a Scenic Conservation zoning – limiting the options for clearing and building. The site has an average gradient of 1 in 3, with large sandstone floaters sitting amongst sand and clay over weathered bedrock at varying depths. Within the moist gully running through the centre of the site, the vulnerable Red Crowned Toadlet was know to reside. The site is susceptible to bush fire events, with parts of the house sitting within the most extreme BAL-FZ (flame zone).
该房屋有一个狭窄的线性足迹，沿等高线运行，以尽量减少切割和填充。入口处两侧的两个大型砂岩露头将建筑固定在场地内，并在第二层设置了垂直循环和大型中央风道。地面、第一层和屋顶的混凝土板是房屋的主要表现形式，强调了水平性。
The house has a narrow linear footprint that runs along the contours to minimize cut and fill. Two large exposed sandstone outcrops either side of the entry landing anchor the building into the site and frame vertical circulation and a large central breezeway on the second level. The concrete slabs for the ground, first and roof levels are the principal expression of the house and emphasize the horizontality.
当在生态敏感的丛林火灾易发区进行建设时，为保护自然环境而进行的最小限度的清理和为减少火灾危险而建立的资产保护区（APZs）之间存在着矛盾。
When building within ecologically sensitive bushfire prone sites there is a tension between minimal clearing to preserve the natural environment and the creation of APZs (Asset Protection Zones) of cleared or thinned vegetation to reduce fire hazards.
我们很早就决定用坚固的不燃材料建造大楼：混凝土板和墙，钢结构柱和釉面砖填充墙。这包括一个混凝土屋顶，可以抵御余烬和落下的树枝。这使我们能够主张尽量减少树木的移除，一些成熟的斑桉树被保留在房屋附近并悬空。厨房下面有一个静态水箱，用于点火。
The decision was made early on to construct the building of robust non-combustible materials: off-form concrete slabs and walls, structural steel columns and glazed brick infill walls. This included a concrete roof that could withstand embers and falling branches. This allowed us to argue for minimal removal of trees, with some mature spotted gums retained close to and overhanging the house. A static tank is housed under the kitchen for spot fires.
自然景观被保留了下来，在建筑工程中被清除的地方，用从 “斑点树胶生态群落 “中确定的物种中选出的植物作为补充，并且不进行灌溉。
The natural landscape has been retained and, where cleared during the building works, supplemented with plants selected from the identified species within the ‘Spotted Gum Ecological Community’ and is not irrigated.
房子周围的大部分区域都被入侵的杂草占据，包括芦笋蕨、Ochna、樟子松、香樟树和其他。这些杂草大部分已在建筑过程中被清除，正在进行的杂草管理的目标是在2021年期间将所有杂草从整个6500平方米的场地上清除。
Much of the area surrounding the house had been occupied by invasive weeds, including Asparagus Fern, Ochna, Camphor laurel, Lantana and others. Most of these weeds have been removed during the building process and ongoing weed management aims to have all weeds removed from the entire 6,500m2 site over the course of 2021.
沟渠是间歇性的潮湿和干燥，这种潮湿和干燥是蟾蜍生命周期的重要组成部分。通过引导地表水和允许屋顶自由排水，而不是将雨水引入水箱或远离水沟的排水沟，保留了流向水沟的自然地表流。
The gully is intermittently wet and dry, and this wetting and drying is an important part of the toadlet’s lifecycle. Rather than directing stormwater into tanks or drains away from the gully, the natural overland flow to the gully has been retained through directing surface water and allowing the roof to freely drain without gutters.
