位于大洋路高处的陡坡地块上。这栋房子既具有强烈的私密性，又具有外向性。其独特的北面朝向被一个简约的立面与街道隔开，充分利用了巴斯海峡和分离溪谷的180度景观。

Located on a steeply sloping block high above the Great Ocean Road. The house is both intensely private and outward-looking. Screened off from the street by a minimalist façade, its unique northern orientation takes full advantage of the 180-degree views towards Bass Strait and the Separation Creek valley.

这栋房子是为一位年轻的专业人士和他们的两个孩子建造的周末住宅，它是加州现代主义的典范，从战后设计时代和典型的澳大利亚fibro海滩别墅类型中汲取灵感。优雅的密斯式盒子在一个层面上被组织起来，以一种独特的形式表达出来，并由细长的柱子支撑着，向外投射到树冠上，最大限度地提高了景观视野，并获得了更多的太阳能。

Built as a weekend home for a young professional and their two children the house is paradigmatic of Californian modernism taking cues from the seminal post-war design era and the quintessential Australian fibro beach house typology. Organised across one level the elegantly Miesian box expressed in a singular form and supported on slender columns projects outwards into the tree canopy maximizing views of the landscape and gaining greater solar access.

内部通道是通过一个宽大的2米宽的走廊，两边的卧室通过全高的推拉门进入，当打开时，可以通过客厅对角线看到大海和山谷。确保所有可居住的房间都与景观相连，两间主卧室外的私人阳台提供了与房子其他部分的休息场所，而深层景观则打破了建筑的形式，并提供了防晒保护。在走廊的尽头，坐落着一个四面壁炉，由黑色的钢制成，方尖碑的形式作为房子的锚，位于其中轴线上。当滑动玻璃门打开时，从室内和室外都可以享受到火光。

Internal circulation is via a generous 2-meter-wide corridor with bedrooms to either side accessed by full height sliding doors and when open allows views diagonally through the living room to the ocean and valley beyond. Ensuring all habitable rooms are connected to the landscape private balconies off the two main bedrooms provide retreat from the rest of the house while the deep reveals breakup the building’s form and provide protection from the sun. At the end of the corridor sits a 4-sided fireplace finished in blackened steel, the obelisk form acts as an anchor to the house, positioned on its central axis. With the sliding glass doors open the fire can be enjoyed both from inside and outside.

为了响应客户的要求，所有建筑的服务空间都被隐藏起来，使其能够与建筑和景观保持一致。浴室和洗衣房隐藏在平开的旋转门后，天窗提供了自然光，位于建筑的后角，使建筑底部没有任何可见的服务设备。而公用设施和海滩设备的外部储藏室则隐藏在同样的外立面材料的门后。

Responding to the clients brief all the building’s service spaces were hidden and concealed allowing for uninterrupted engagement with the architecture and landscape beyond. Bathroom and laundry are concealed behind flush pivot doors with skylights providing natural light, positioned towards the rear corner of the building allowing to free the underside of the building from any visible service equipment. While external storerooms for utilities and beach equipment are behind hidden doors finished in the same external façade material.

充分利用建筑的北向优势，一个12米宽的玻璃滑动墙和室外平台最大限度地实现了室内外生活。外部的钢制凉棚结构在露台上凸显出建筑结构韵律的剪影。附在结构上的帆布遮阳布为中性的建筑色调增添了色彩，并提供了遮阳功能，它们可以根据一年中的时间在结构托架之间重新定位或拆除。

Taking full advantage of the building’s northern orientation a 12-meter-wide glass sliding wall and outdoor deck maximizes indoor-outdoor living. The external steel pergola structural projects out over the deck a silhouette of the building’s structural rhythm. Canvas shade cloths attached to the structure add colour to the neutral building palette and provide sun shading, they can be repositioned or removed between the structural bays depending on the time of year.
