该场地以前是一个市场花园，有遮蔽带形成大的户外房间。我们的客户随后在该场地的一部分种植了葡萄园，并为马匹围起了围栏。他建造了一个谷仓和一个盛装舞步竞技场。
The site’s previous existence was a market garden with shelterbelts forming large outdoor rooms. Our client then planted part of the site with vineyards and fenced off paddocks for horses. He built a barn and a dressage arena.
这座房子提供了一个机会，使这个大场地变得有序。
在私人住宅和公共盛装舞步赛场之间需要一些划分。
石笼网的双轴景观元素被用来将场地划分为四个象限。
The house presented an opportunity to bring order to the large site.
Some division was needed between the private home and the public dressage arena.
Bi-axial landscaping elements of Gabion baskets were employed to divide the site into quadrants.
石笼网墙从低处开始划分入口，并上升到形成房屋的锚墙。
The gabion basket walls start low demarcating entry points and rise up to form the anchor wall of the house.
这座房子有3个正面元素，中间是负空间。这些正面元素包括拉尼亚、车库和卧室。它们被衔接成简单的盒子形式，其风化的木板外皮参考了农业板条箱。巨大的板条箱形成了消极空间的边缘，并为该地的景观提供了框架。
The house has 3 positive elements with negative spaces between. These positive elements house the Lania, the garage and the bedrooms. They are articulated as simple box forms with weathered timber planked skins referencing agrarian crates. The giant crates form the edges to the negative spaces and frame views of the site.
主要的消极空间是位于拉尼亚和卧室箱体之间的客厅亭子。棚顶盖住了客厅，向南面的光线倾斜，并允许看到树顶的树叶。它的目的是让广阔的屋顶使建筑的规模与土地的规模相称。
The primary negative space is the living room pavilion situated between the Lania and bedroom box. A oating roof caps the living room tipping up toward the south light and allowing a view of the tree top foliage. It is intended that the expansive roof gives the building a scale appropriate to the scale of the land.
起居室向西延伸形成一个露台，向东延伸形成一个带有树木和水景的庇护庭院。北面是一个大的阳光露台。
The living pavilion extends west to form a terrace and east to trap a sheltered courtyard with tree and water feature. To the north a large sun terrace.
房子被抬高在一个砌块基座上，以使其脱离潜在的潮湿的同质土地。这个高度使箱子可以打理，使居住者可以看到葡萄园，并使他们更接近骑手的眼睛高度。基座与石笼网相交，并以石笼网为边沿，使正负空间失明。
The house is elevated on a blockwork plinth to lift it out of the potentially soggy homogenous land. This height allows the boxes to oat, gives the occupants a view over the vineyards and brings them closer to the eye height of the horseman. The plinth, intersected and edged by the gabions serves to blind the positive and negative spaces.
