白厅路的房子位于山顶上,以利用周围景观的广阔视野。一片成熟的桉树林为房子的位置提供了信息;它们高大而纤细的树干与建筑的低水平度相抗衡,并为游泳池和甲板区提供遮荫。

The house at Whitehall Road is positioned at the crest of a hill, to take advantage of sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. A grove of mature gum trees inform the location of the house; their tall and slender trunks countering the low horizontality of the building and providing shade to the pool and deck areas.

建筑的首要姿态是贯穿整个房屋的巨大水晶墙。它被凿入土中,既固定了房子,又与场地的暴露相抗衡。

The overriding gesture of the building is the massive drystone wall running the full length of the house. It is cut into the earth, at once anchoring the house and countering the exposure of the site.

房子的方向是沿着水晶墙,是一系列的直角亭子。这些亭子淡化了五间卧室的规模,允许各种户外、室内和间隙空间的存在。通过使用完全可伸缩的玻璃和精致的藤条屏风,进一步强调了间歇空间的特点。

Orientated to follow the drystone wall, the house is a series of rectilinear pavilions. Downplaying the scale of the five bedroom house, the pavilions allow for a variety of outdoor, indoor and interstitial spaces. The character of the interstitial spaces is further emphasised through the use of fully retractable glazing and delicate cane screening.

石材、木头、玻璃和渲染是主要的材料。石头的厚重感和坚固性以及木材的规模与大面积的玻璃形成了强烈的对比,这是整个建筑的特点。视线与玻璃精心协调,有顺序地揭示了广阔的景观。

Stone, timber, glass and render are the predominant materials. The heaviness and solidity of the stone and the scale of the timber sections provide a strong contrast to the large expanses of glass which feature throughout. Sightlines are carefully coordinated with the glazing in a sequenced revealing of the vast landscape.
