Nannygai是一个坚固的赤脚沙滩屋，边界模糊，为其居住者提供了与该地品质的滋养性联系。Nannygai被想象成一个简单的高架平台，用于欣赏岛屿环境的壮观之美，悬停在一个可居住的露台上，在上面体验它。场地被改造成一系列被占用的景观梯田，以一个高架平台为顶点，从树顶上欣赏壮观的景色。该住宅同样舒适，可以容纳一对亲密的夫妇度假，或在家庭聚会时招待一大群人。该项目由当地的技术工人精心制作，经久耐用，可供几代人享用。

Nannygai is a robust bare-foot beach house with ambiguous boundaries to offer its occupants nourishing connections to the qualities of its place. Nannygai was imagined as a simple elevated platform to view the spectacular beauty of the island setting, hovering above a habitable terrace on which to experience it. The site was reformed to become an occupied series of landscape terraces capped by an elevated platform to soak in the spectacular scenery from the treetops. The home is equally comfortable accommodating an intimate couple’s getaway or entertaining a large group at family get-togethers. The project was well-made by local skilled hands to be durable and loved for generations.

客户需要一个低维护、精致的房子来容纳一个大家庭。空间是按节日仪式组织的，通过滑动面板将居住者与景观联系起来或促进隐私。楼上的甲板尺寸受到限制，使相邻的落地玻璃能够将壮观的景色引入室内生活区。秘密的门创造了隐私，而镜子则在空间、景色和光线方面玩起了花样。楼下，混凝土地板变成了宽大的台阶，通往带有火坑的草地平台。每个空间都被设计成令人难忘的，有独特的机会与它的环境接触。

The clients required a low-maintenance, refined house to accommodate a large family. Spaces were organized by holiday rituals, aided by sliding panels to either connect occupants with the landscape or facilitate privacy. Upstairs the deck size was restrained enabling adjacent floor to ceiling glass to draw the spectacular view into the indoor living area. Secret doors created privacy and mirrors played tricks with the space, views, and light. Downstairs, the concrete floor becomes wide steps down to a grassed terrace with a fire pit. Each space was designed to be memorable with unique opportunities to engage with its setting.

住宅被设想为一个景观框架。从街上看，人们 “穿过 “房子，看到外面的风景，实际上忽略了房子本身。因此，迷人的景色是与街道共享的，而不是私有化的。访客的到来被策划成一系列特定的机会：一个私人庭院可以避风，用于户外淋浴和沙脚，一个凉爽的混凝土底层可以避暑，还有层层叠叠的剧院台阶可以观看冲浪或日落。随着时间的推移，景观将发展到完全掩盖住宅，加强了无处不在的丛林环境。

The home was conceived as a landscape frame. From the street, one looks ‘through’ the house to the view beyond, effectively ignoring the house itself. The stunning views are therefore shared with the street and not privatized. Visitor arrival was curated into a series of specific opportunities: a private courtyard protected from the wind for outdoor showers and sandy feet, a cool concrete undercroft to escape the heat, and cascading theatre steps to watch the surf or the sunset. Over time the landscape will grow to conceal the home altogether, reinforcing the ubiquitous bush setting.

Nannygai试图体现客户对沿海生活的基本要求：灵活、实用、可渗透和最小的空间。从程序上讲，上层是一个单人卧室的工作室，在底层为客人提供额外的生活、洗澡和睡眠空间。传统的浴室功能被解构，并按特定的活动分开，允许很多人同时使用。多个滑动堆叠门将第二生活区转换为一个溢出的双层房间，长长的厨房长凳被设计成可以容纳一大群人，都为盛宴的准备和交付做出贡献。

Nannygai sought to epitomize the essential ingredients of the client’s brief for coastal living: flexible, functional, permeable, and minimal spaces. Programmatically, the upper floor performed as a single bedroom studio with additional living, bathing, and sleeping spaces on the ground floor for guests. Conventional bathroom functions were deconstructed and separated by specific activities to allow lots of people to use them simultaneously. Multiple sliding stacking doors convert the second living area into an overflow bunk room and the long kitchen bench was designed to accommodate a big group of people all contributing to feast preparation and delivery.

建筑师、客户、建筑商、供应商和分包商紧密合作，保持成本控制和细节解决。考虑到岛屿建筑的复杂性和耐用性，当地的熟练劳动力和积极的开放式沟通对集体愉快的采购经验至关重要。

Architect, client, builder, suppliers, and sub-contractors worked closely together to maintain cost control and detail resolution. Local skilled labor and positive open communication were essential to a collectively enjoyable procurement experience given the complexity and durability required for island construction.

考虑到它的居住能力，房子的结构相对紧凑[只比它所取代的石棉瓦房略大]。外部景观成为可居住的空间，需要较少的 “建筑 “面积。外部材料是原始的，不反光的，主要是预处理的，需要很少的维护。内部装饰、材料和细节都很精致，不显眼，以减少眩光和滋养感官。优质的材料和建筑确保了房屋能够经受住恶劣的海岸环境。这座房子可以轻松容纳大型家庭聚会[包括为岳父岳母准备的一楼套房]，同时也不会因为夫妻间的隐居而显得过于庞大。

The house was comparatively compact [only slightly larger than the asbestos shack it replaced] given its occupation capacity. External landscapes became habitable spaces requiring less ‘built’ area. External materials were raw, non-reflective, and predominately pre-finished which require little maintenance. Inside finishes, materials and details were refined and unobtrusive to reduce glare and nourish the senses. Quality materials and construction ensured the home would endure the harsh coastal environment. The house easily accommodates large family gatherings [including a ground floor ensuite bedroom for the parents-in-law], whilst not being overscaled for a couple’s retreat.
