这座单层度假住宅位于老玛莎山的后街（墨尔本著名的海湾郊区，位于通往莫宁顿半岛的门户），是一个被大自然笼罩的宁静的避难所。创造一个多代同堂的私人家庭休闲场所的设计理念也要求与环境有很强的联系，并为隐私和娱乐提供不同的区域。亲水设计原则支撑了主要的反应，并促进了内部和外部的无缝整合。该设计通过拥抱南部边界，最大限度地扩大了北部的视野，围绕一个中央庭院的三角形规划，并利用场地的平缓落差，最大限度地提高了全年的自然光渗透率。

Located in the back streets of old Mount Martha (an established Melbourne bayside suburb at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula), this single-storey holiday residence is a serene sanctuary enveloped by nature. The brief to create a multi-generational private family retreat also called for a strong connection to context and distinct zones for privacy and entertaining. Biophilic design principles underpinned the primary response and facilitated the seamless integration of interior and exterior. Sited to maximize the northern aspect by hugging the southern boundary, the design locates a triangular plan around a central courtyard and utilizes the gentle fall of the site to maximize the penetration of natural light year-round.

一堵高大坚固的烧焦木材墙将住宅与街道隔开，以建立一种直接的隐私感。这堵墙剥落后露出一个有顶的入口，入口外是主要的体量：生活空间与私人区域明显分开，每个空间都环绕着景观庭院，并有全高的窗户，可以看到景观。连续的视觉和空间连接是通过通往主要的休息区的玻璃风道和通往儿童房的玻璃走廊来实现的，而儿童房又通向生活空间。每个房间都充斥着自然光，突出了简化的材料调色板–木材衬里、细木工板和玻璃，以及简约的饰面和柔和的绿蓝色调–而凉棚和中央庭院创造了一个不断变化的光影游戏，同时也提供了对元素的保护。

A high, solid, charred-timber wall shields the home from the street to establish an immediate sense of privacy. This wall peels away to reveal a covered entry, beyond which lie the main volumes: living spaces distinctly separated from private zones, each wrapping around the landscaped courtyard, and with full-height windows framing the landscape. Continuous visual and spatial connection is enabled by a glass breezeway to the main retreat and a glazed hallway to the kids’ wing, which, in turn, leads to the living space. Each room is flooded with natural light, highlighting the simplified palette of materials – the timber lining, blockwork, and glass, with pared-back finishes and a soft green-blue palette – while the pergola and central courtyard create an ever-changing play of shadow and light, as well as providing protection from the elements.

整个外墙的透明度和坚固性的相互作用打破了建筑体量的视觉效果，这既是一个审美决定，也是一个功能决定，因为砌块提供了热质，高性能的双层玻璃保持了内部温度，同时百叶窗允许交叉通风。进一步的可持续发展做法包括广泛的绝缘、太阳能电池板、水力加热、吊扇、雨水收集和最大限度的自然光。

The interplay of transparency and solidity across the facade breaks the visual bulk of the building mass, an aesthetic decision as much as a functional one, for the blockwork provides thermal mass and the high-performance double glazing maintains the internal temperature, while louvres allow cross ventilation. Further sustainable practices include extensive insulation, solar panels, hydronic heating, ceiling fans, storm-water collection, and maximal natural light.

相关学科包括工程师对玻璃、带有定制的折叠钢门楣的隐蔽式窗台细节以及庭院中的大型弧形天棚进行咨询。能源专家就被动式加热和冷却提供建议，景观设计师就最大限度地整合景观提供咨询。预算管理包括指定低成本的内部材料和配件，以及优雅而低维护的饰面。总之，玛莎山别墅巧妙地揭示了自己作为一个多功能和敏感的场地干预，巧妙地平衡了广阔的娱乐区和对周围景观的开放性，以及为内部人员提供隐私和避难所的封闭式元素。

Allied disciplines included engineers to consult on glazing, concealed pelmet details with custom-made, folded steel lintels, and the large, curved canopy in the courtyard. Energy specialists advised on passive heating and cooling, and landscapers consulted on maximizing the integration of landscape. Budget management included the specification of low-cost interior materials and fittings, and elegant, yet low-maintenance finishes. In summary, Mount Martha House subtly reveals itself as a versatile and sensitive site intervention, deftly balancing expansive entertaining zones and an openness to the surrounding landscape with enclosed elements that offer a haven of privacy and sanctuary to those within.
