这座位于Barwon Heads街区的有边界的房子,这第二座房子将整个场地的互动分开,以便在需要时加剧互动。由于洪水的覆盖而被抬高,房子被分解成不同的空间组织的主要元素。设置在一个变形的柱子周围,每个元素都有自己的功能,允许家庭在一年中不断变化的占用中成长和消退。

A bounded house on a Barwon Heads block, this second home separates interaction across the site in order to exacerbate it when desired. Raised off the ground due to a flooding overlay, the house is broken up into primary elements of varying spatial organization. Set inside a deformed perimeter of columns, each element functions on its own, allowing the family to grow and recede during the ever-changing occupation over the course of a year.

抬高房子的钢架构成了其各部分组合的边界箱。每一个元素都被组织成持续和临时使用的区域(长期、短期和过渡空间),通过走廊的旋转游戏来安排,产生互补的光线和隐私机会。前面是餐厅、客厅、厨房、书房和夫妇的卧室。中间是洗衣房和一个化妆间。后面有两间带套房的卧室和一间供客人使用的起居室。

The steel frame that elevates the house forms the bounding box for the assemblage of its parts. Organized into zones of constant and temporary use (long-term, short-term, and transition space), each element is arranged via the rotational play of the corridor that generates complementary opportunities for light and privacy. The front houses a dining room, living room, kitchen, study, and bedroom for the couple. The middle houses laundry and a powder room. The back houses two bedrooms with en-suites and a sitting room for guests.

沿着西墙和东墙的天窗可以看出,遮蔽的北面视野使居住者能够捕捉到早晨和傍晚的阳光,同时保持与邻居的隐私。走廊的旋转游戏,加上屏蔽和窗户的定位,为房子的每个独立部分提供了不同的私人视角和花园的不同部分来互动。

Evident in the skylights along the west and east walls, obscured northern outlooks allow the occupants to capture morning and evening sun while maintaining privacy from neighboring properties. The rotational play of the corridor, along with screening and window positioning, provides each separate part of the house with a different private viewpoint and a different part of the garden to interact with.

尽管有这种分离,但空间的连续性是由每个元素的单独空间组织建立的—厨房的后面是客厅,客厅的顶部是书房。坐落在场地中央的西面露台,为中午和下午提供了更多的阳光,为厨房提供了一个延伸。然而,打开前门,空间就会一直扩展到房子里,进入街道。AB屋是一个可能是私人的房子,但不一定是。

In spite of this separation, continuity of space is established by the individual spatial organizations of each element – the back of the kitchen is the living room, and the top of the living room is the study. The western deck, which sits in the middle of the site for greater midday and afternoon sun, provides an extension of the kitchen. Yet open the front doors, and the space expands all the way through the house and into the street. AB House is a house that may be private but doesn’t have to be.
