True North以其阳光明媚的角落街区命名，是TANDEM创始人兼董事Tim Hill和他的家人的家。由于其独特的曲线造型和在澳大利亚设计大赛第六季中的亮相，这个标志性的、获奖无数的项目已成为当地的地标。

Named after its sunny corner block, True North is a home for TANDEM founder and director Tim Hill and his family. This iconic and highly awarded project has become a local landmark due to its distinctive curved form and its appearance on season 6 of Grand Designs Australia.

主屋蜿蜒曲折的外形超越了相对较小的城市内部三角形场地的角度限制。在场地的后部，一个大约1880年代的马厩被重新利用，创造了一个有一个卧室的联排别墅。

The sinuous, curved form of the main house transcends the angular constraints of the relatively small, inner urban triangular site. At the rear of the site, a circa 1880s stables was adaptively reused to create a 1 bedroom townhouse.

在地面上，主住宅包含一个下沉式的休息室、厨房、餐厅和双高的中庭，在一个单一的体积内，可以看到一系列的袖珍花园。沐浴在灯光下，结合回收的砖和木材饰面，弯曲的内部温暖地拥抱着它的居住者。

At ground level, the main dwelling contains a sunken lounge, kitchen, dining and double-height atrium within a single volume that provides views into a series of pocket gardens. Bathed in light and incorporating recycled brick and timber finishes, the curved interior warmly embraces its occupants.

楼上有三个吊舱，通过楼梯和桥梁进入，盘旋在下面的生活空间之上，它们包含卧室和浴室，提供私人的内部空间。外墙的特点是褶皱的立面，其轻盈程度让人想起折叠的布。它被生锈的钢制罩子所点缀，其深层的揭示创造了私人窗户。从有棱有角的场地到建造一个弯曲的形式所面临的许多挑战，这是一个具有为棘手的设计问题开发美丽和功能解决方案的诀窍的工作室所特有的项目。

Upstairs three pods, accessed by stair and bridge, hover above the living space below., They contain bedrooms and bathrooms, providing private interior space. The exterior features a pleated façade with a lightness reminiscent of a folded cloth. It is punctuated by rusted steel hoods, whose deep reveals create private windows. From the angular site to the many challenges of constructing a curved form, this is a project characteristic of a studio with a knack for developing beautiful and functional solutions to tricky design problems.
