位于悉尼海港边的Castlecrag郊区，一座20世纪中期的蜂窝状内向型砖砌平房经历了彻底的改造，成为一个开放的、充满光线的现代家庭住宅，体现了Walter Burley Griffin为Castlecrag设计的遗产 “为自然而建 “的理想。
Located in the Sydney harbour-side suburb of Castlecrag, a cellular and inward-looking mid-20th century brick bungalow has undergone a complete transformation to an open, light filled contemporary family home that embraces the ideals of Walter Burley Griffin’s design legacy for Castlecrag “Building for Nature”.
厨房是家里的关键房间，西部红柏的门无缝地消失在回收的砖块后面，使内部的生活空间延伸到一个双层的户外生活空间，那里的斑纹胶露台通向花园和游泳池。外部使用木材作为座椅、露台、围栏和屏风，以花园亭子为终点，将院子转变成密集的郊区环境中的一个亲密、宁静的绿洲，供客户和他们的年轻家庭享受。
The Kitchen is the pivotal room in the home, with Western Red Cedar doors disappearing seamlessly behind recycled brickwork allowing the internal living space to extend to a double-volume outdoor living space where spotted gum decking leads to the garden and swimming pool. The external use of timber for seating, decking, fencing and screening terminates in a garden pavilion and transforms the yard into an intimate, peaceful oasis within a dense suburban context for the enjoyment of the Client and their young family.
建筑师利用木材的功能和美学特质，提高了住宅的体验。木材的自然温暖被运用到住宅的所有应用中，包括结构、覆层、内部装饰和外部设施。
The Architect has drawn upon the functional and aesthetic qualities of timber to heighten the experience of the home. The natural warmth of timber has been utilised in all applications of the home from structure, cladding, the internal finishes and external amenities.
住宅的空间规划将私人卧室空间放在一楼，社会生活和社交空间放在一楼。 精选的斑纹树胶地板通过温暖的蜂蜜色调在这些区域之间形成连续性。大胆的斑桉木楼梯固定了这些空间，并将木材的自然温暖带入住宅的中心。
The spatial planning of the home locates the private bedroom spaces on the first floor and social living and social spaces on the ground floor. The select grade Spotted Gum flooring develops continuity between these zones through a palette of warm honey tones. The bold Spotted Gum stair anchors these spaces and brings the natural warmth of the timber into the heart of the home.
北面的粗锯胶合板顶棚被染成黑色，成为一楼的遮挡物；它遮挡住了邻居，并集中了花园的视野。胶合板提供了一个中立的环境，使红柏覆层、门和窗成为住宅的焦点。树冠的材质与花园亭子的材质相呼应，提供了一种视觉平衡。
The rough sawn plywood canopy to the North is stained black and acts a shroud for the first floor; it screens the neighbours and focuses the outlook towards the garden. The Plywood provides a neutral context allowing the cedar cladding, doors and windows to be the focus of the home. The materiality of the canopy is mirrored in the garden pavilion providing a visual balance.
住宅的橱柜利用了布莱克布特（Blackbutt）木材单板的表面处理和效率，厨房的焦点是一个层压的布莱克布特岛长椅。与室内木材的金色相辅相成，由原来的屋顶横梁形成的定制俄勒冈餐桌成为了住宅的中心。
The cabinetry of the home utilises the finish and efficiency of Blackbutt timber veneer and the focal point of the kitchen is a laminated Blackbutt Island bench. Complementing the golden colours of the interior timbers a custom Oregon dining table formed from the original roof beams becomes the centrepiece of the home.
