小曼利屋位于小曼利海滩附近，在曼利的东山脚下。房子可以欣赏到街对面西南方向的港口，而地势从后院上升到东北方向，已有的树木为房产的后方提供了绿色的包围感。
Little Manly House is located nearby Little Manly Beach at the base of Manly’s Eastern Hill. The house enjoys oblique views across the street to the harbor to the southwest while the topography rises from the rear yard to the northeast with established trees providing a green sense of enclosure to the rear of the property.
由于位于东山脚下，该物业在下雨时，由于径流进入港口，会受到陆上流动和河流的影响。因此，这个地方有一种郁郁葱葱的感觉，这种感觉已经被纳入房屋和花园的设计中。梯田平台和水道引导水的流动，使花园更加复杂，功能和与地方的联系。
Being at the base of the Eastern Hill, the property is subject to overland flows and rivulets when it rains as runoff finds its way to the harbor. The site, therefore, has a lushness that has been drawn into the design of the house and gardens. Terraced platforms and waterways guide the movement of water giving the garden more complexity, function, and connection to place.
我们对房子的安排的主要概念是在一个隐蔽的茂盛的花园周边创造一个平坦的生活地面。主要的生活层面包括一系列松散连接的生活和工作空间，以及一个沉浸在花园里的户外客厅。
Our principal concept for the arrangement of the house was to create a level ground plane for living within a secluded lush garden perimeter. The primary living level comprises a series of loosely connected living and workspaces and an outdoor living room immersed in the garden.
场地的地形被操纵，大部分场地被人为地抬高，使这一层面成为平台，车库和辅助空间被安置在街道的下面，然后卧室和浴室位于上面。
The topography of the site has been manipulated with much of the site artificially elevated to make this level platform with garaging and ancillary spaces housed beneath at street level, then bedrooms and bathrooms located above.
房子的外观和感觉的灵感来自于我们的客户对中世纪现代建筑和美国棕榈泉的标志性住宅的吸引。这座房子是这些早期住宅的当代版本，表现为比例合理的直角形体的排列，并精心组成极简主义的外墙元素。
The look and feel of the house were inspired by our client’s attraction to mid-century modern architecture and the iconic homes of Palm Springs USA. The house is a contemporary version of these early homes expressing itself as an arrangement of well-proportioned rectilinear volumes dressed in carefully composed minimalist facade elements.
