关注从山脊线上的斜坡部分延伸到Poor Knights群岛的景色，是Herbst建筑事务所的Lance和Nicky Herbst的首要任务。从停车场通往住宅主体的螺旋形楼梯就像一个长焦镜头。尼基说：”它被完美地训练到一池蓝水上，这池蓝水从海里嗖嗖地流向岩石上，”。

Focusing on the view, which stretches from the sloping section on a ridgeline across to the Poor Knights Islands, was a priority for Lance and Nicky Herbst of Herbst Architects. The spiral staircase that leads from the parking deck to the main body of the home acts as a telephoto lens. “It’s trained perfectly onto a pool of blue water that swishes into a rocky outcrop from the sea,” says Nicky.

兰斯称这一景观之旅为 “经典序列”。它从一个有农业感觉的车棚开始（主人心爱的露营车就停在那里），在两堵坚固的墙之间继续前进，沿着雨幕走道向下，穿过玻璃墙的桥，连接到位于垂直平面的住宅中心。

Lance calls this journey to the view a “classic sequence”. It begins with a carport that has an agrarian feel (where the owners’ beloved campervan has its berth), continues between two block walls that solidly channel the arrival, and on down along rain-screened walkways and across a glass-walled bridge that links to the heart of the home, set on a perpendicular plane.

赫伯斯特夫妇将这个房间（包括厨房、餐厅和客厅）视为一个观景平台。当然，他们习惯性地模糊了界限–所有巨大的推拉窗都向元素和结构壁架开放，成为漂浮在土地之上的休闲座椅。

The Herbsts see this room (with kitchen, dining, and living) as a viewing platform. And, of course, their customary blurring of boundaries is here – all huge sliding windows that open one half to the elements and structural ledges, which become casual seats that float above the land.

尼基说：”我们喜欢在内部和外部之间建立起联系，””所以我们包括了一个带支架的压条眉毛，作为头顶上的掩护，这强调了这种建筑过渡”。她把钢支柱比作波胡图卡瓦的树枝。”这是透过树木看的概念，”兰斯补充说。”通过把人造的东西放在巨大的自然全景的前景中，你实际上增强了视野–它与建筑有关。”

“We like to feather the zone between inside and out,” says Nicky, “so we’ve included a battened eyebrow with stays to support it as cover overhead, which emphasizes this architectural transition.” She likens the steel struts to branches of a pohutukawa. “It’s the notion of looking through trees,” adds Lance. “By putting something man-made in the foreground of a huge natural panorama, you actually enhance the view – it relates back to the building.”
