现有的住宅是在70年的时间里建造的一系列拙劣的扩建，不再适合于用途。它未能与奥尔德尼岛壮观的野生景观相结合。
The existing dwelling was a collection of poorly constructed extensions built over a 70-year period, no longer fit for purpose. It failed to engage with the spectacular wild landscape of Alderney.
我们的任务是设计一个新的节能、低维护的房子，让一对夫妇和他们的大家庭在访问时充满自然光。为了满足严格的规划规则，该物业只能比现有住宅的可居住面积大15%。房子的方向是最大限度地利用场地南部壮观的海岸景观，同时保留亲密感，略微设置在北部的山坡上。
The brief was to design a new energy-efficient, low-maintenance house filled with natural light for a couple and their extended family when they visit. To meet strict planning rules, the property could only be 15% larger than the habitable footprint of the existing dwelling. The house is orientated to maximise the spectacular coastal views to the south of the site whilst retaining the sense of intimacy, set slightly into the hillside to the north.
该设计提供了宽敞的生活空间，与位于房子东侧的主卧室相互连接，并在西端有一个独立的书房。为家人和朋友准备的其他卧室设置在一个独立的建筑体量内，通过一个入口连接走廊与主空间分开。
The design provides generous living spaces interconnected with the main bedroom located on the eastern side of the house and has a separate study to the western end. Additional bedrooms for family and friends are set within a separate building volume split from the main space by an entrance link corridor.
拱形的主要生活空间遵循建筑围护结构的内部线条，创造出一种高度和体积感，通过大型玻璃推拉门直接连接到南部的外部露台。一个户外游泳池，可以避开恶劣的环境，设置在主楼后面，可以直接从客厅通过另一组大的滑动玻璃门进入。
The vaulted main living space follows the internal line of the building envelope to create a sense of height and volume, linking directly to an outside terrace to the south via large sliding glass doors. An outdoor swimming pool, sheltered from the harsher elements, is set behind the main building and is accessed directly, once again from the living room via another set of large sliding glass doors.
我们进行了广泛的研究，以了解在这个偏远地区建造的限制。随后，我们在高度隔热的建筑围护结构和内部装修的设计中采用了场外/预制结构，在一个美丽的偏远地区创造了一个具有成本效益的现代住宅。多米尼克-艾什（Dominic Ash）承担了一个全面的细木工方案，包括厨房、门、衣柜和定制餐桌。榆木和可丽耐的简单调色板确保了高度坚固和低维护的完成。
We undertook extensive research to understand the limitations of constructing on this remote site. Subsequently, we utilized off-site/prefabricated construction within the design of the highly-insulated building envelope and the internal fit-out to create a cost-effective, modern house in a beautiful remote location. A comprehensive joinery package was undertaken by Dominic Ash which included the kitchen, doors, wardrobes, and bespoke dining table. A simple palette of Elm and Corian for the joinery ensured a highly robust and low-maintenance finish.
