位于Bellbrae的Bellbrae房子是一个梦想的实现，它将为其主人和他们的大家庭服务，因为他们在维多利亚崎岖的冲浪海岸的Torquay和Anglesea之间的这个宁静的地方享受他们的退休时光。
The Bellbrae House, located in Bellbrae, is the realisation of a dream forever home that would serve its owners, and on occasion their extended family, as they enjoy their retirement years in this peaceful spot between Torquay and Anglesea along Victoria’s rugged surf coast.
Bellbrae之家的设计理念是在10英亩的农村土地上为退休的客户改建/增建现有的房子，但是经过进一步的调查，由于1970年代的房子的原业主-建筑商的不良建筑行为，包括偷来的反射柱作为树桩，房子被认为无法修复。新房子是在现有的占地面积内，对现场的限制条件作出回应，包括干草棚、车道、游泳池和马的围栏。
The brief began for Bellbrae House as an alteration/addition to the existing house on the 10 acre rural site for the retired clients however after further investigation the house was deemed unsalvageable due to bad building practices by the original owner-builder of the 1970s house, including stolen reflector posts used as stumps. The new house is within the footprint of the existing, responding to constraints on site that were to be retained including hay sheds, driveway, swimming pool and horse fencing.
对设计方案的关键回应是创建两个亭子，由一个大的平台分开。主馆是一个有卧室的房子，客户每天都住在里面，是从车道上看到的第一个形式。这个亭子里的生活、厨房、餐厅和卧室等服务空间面向北方，并向甲板开放。南面的服务空间包括泥浆入口、马具室和洗衣房、地窖、储藏室、套房和长袍。
The key design response to the brief was to create two pavilions separated by a large deck. The main pavilion is a one bedroom house that the clients live in day-to-day and is the first form seen from the drive approach. The served spaces of living, kitchen, dining and bedroom in this pavilion face north and open on to the deck. The servant spaces to the south include mud entry, tack room and laundry, cellar, pantry, ensuite and robe.
第二个较小的亭子里有两间卧室，在入口处有一个共用的浴室和小厨房。这个独立的亭子旨在为来访的孩子和孙子孙女提供他们自己的空间，可以关闭并与主屋隔绝，以节约能源并尽量减少清洁。当孩子们不在的时候，它也被用作作家的退路，让客户走出房子，完成他们的PHD。这个亭子的位置将水箱和棚子从主生活亭和甲板上隐藏起来，同时仍然允许有一个北面的视角。
The second, smaller, pavilion houses two bedrooms either side of a shared bathroom and kitchenette in the entry. This separate pavilion is aimed at providing the visiting children and grandchildren their own space that can be closed down and shut off from the main house to conserve energy and minimise cleaning. It is also used as a writers retreat when the children are not there allowing the client to get out of the house to complete their PHD. The positioning of this pavilion hides the water tanks and sheds from the main living pavilion and deck whilst still allowing a northern aspect.
露台是主要的非正式入口点，框住了山谷和农场的景色，是全年户外生活和娱乐的舞台。为了使这个项目获得成功，我们采用了三重底线的方法。这对夫妇已经退休了，所以没有预算爆棚的空间，也没有昂贵的未来维护。这座房子需要为两个人、三个家庭或100位客人的婚礼提供社交服务。它还需要响应客户对保护自然环境和减少使用的深切赞赏，包括重新使用现有房屋中的残余物品。
The deck is the main informal point of entry and frames valley and farm views and is a stage for outdoor living and entertaining throughout the year. For this project to be successful a Triple Bottom Line approach was adopted. The couple were retired so there was no room for budget blowouts or costly future maintenance. The house needed to work socially for two people, three families or a wedding for 100 guests. It also needed to respond to the client’s deep appreciation for preserving the natural environment and using less, including reusing salvaged items from the existing house.
