HOUSE ACUTE是一座专为六口之家打造的周末度假屋，坐落在新南威尔士州海岸线的边缘地带。该地块长期暴露在海洋环境中，并紧邻一个高火灾风险的沿海峭壁，因此，建筑的设计和材料选择必须具备极强的耐久性。此外，这片土地本身呈楔形，面积狭小，几乎被忽视，这一特殊形状也直接影响了设计方案。因此，建筑的概念设计采用了楔形结构，由两座长条形混凝土体量在最尖角处交错叠合而成。

The HOUSE ACUTE is a weekender built for a family of 6 on a site abutting the edge of the NSW coastline.

The site is exposed to the ocean elements and also sits adjacent to a severe bush - fire prone coastal bluff. The design and the palette in particular would need to be robust in nature. The site is also a small wedge - shaped, almost unwanted parcel of land, which would also ultimately influence the design. The conceptual approach was therefore to create a wedge shaped home consisting of two long concrete pavilions lapping over each other on the acute corner.

一层是主要的入口空间，包括卧室区域及相关的湿区功能空间。在上方体量的覆盖下，一处开放式车库被嵌入一层，使住户能够直接进入室内。此外，在尖角位置还设有一个次要起居空间。

The Ground Floor level is the primary entry level and includes a bedroom wing with associated wet areas. An open planned carport was created beneath the first floor massing above enabling direct access in to the home. A secondary living zone was created at the acute corner.

二层是核心的起居空间，包括一处大面积的屋顶露台，位于南侧的下方体量之上，同时在北侧设有一座悬挑阳台，与街道形成互动。厨房后方设有一间独立的主卧套房，方便屋主在没有孩子陪伴时，仅使用这一层生活。此外，建筑顶部还设有一个小型屋顶露台，可通过室内楼梯进入。

The first floor level is the primary living zone including a large covered terrace on the roof of the massing to the south below, and a cantilevered balcony on the northern side which engages with the street. A self-contained master bedroom wing has been positioned behind the kitchen enabling the owners to use this level only when they stay without their children. A modest roof-top terrace has been included above the first floor with an internal stair access.

由于地形落差较大，两个交叠的混凝土亭顺应地势，形成了四个层次分明、相对独立的楼层，即使是在紧凑的空间中，依然能找到安静独处的角落。建筑的最高点位于场地最低处，即南侧边界。而建筑的尖角部分则挺立于道路转角处，成为这条街道的非正式入口标志。在这个转角位置，建筑呈现出极具雕塑感的混凝土体块，随着人们向入口方向移动，建筑的开窗逐渐增多，空间也变得更加开放。

The two overlapping pavilions sit comfortably with the fall in the land such that 4 distinctly different and separate storeys have been created. There is still space to find solitude if and when required. The tallest point of the massing occurs on the lowest part of the site being the southern boundary. The acute corner sits proudly at the bend in the road that forms an unofficial gateway to the street. At this corner the built form remains quite abstract as a solid concrete structure, giving way to more fenestration as one moves around the corner towards the entry.

虽然整座建筑采用清水混凝土建造，但一、二层的体块在视觉上通过阴影线和材质变化进行了区分。一层的清水混凝土表面光滑，而二层则使用了横向粗锯木板模板，呈现出更具肌理感的表面效果。

Whilst the home is built in off-form concrete, the ground and first floor pavilions are separated by a shadow line and in texture. The ground floor was formed with a smooth off form finish contrasting from the more textured first floor structure formed using horizontal rough sawn boards.

在西侧边界，设计保留了一排原生的桉树，以维护与邻居之间的隐私。景观设计师确保了新旧植被的自然融合，使建筑周围的自然景观在视觉上被“借景”扩展至整个场地。此外，建筑的两个混凝土体量之间还形成了相对私密的庭院，不仅增强了通风，也为一层空间引入了充足的自然光线。

A sequence of existing angophora’s were retained along the western boundary to help maintain privacy with that neighbour. Here the landscape architect has ensured the new and old landscapes blend seamlessly and that the site’s natural surroundings are visually borrowed to extend the site parameters. A relatively private courtyard has been formed between the two concrete pavilions which aids in feeding both light and ventilation to the ground floor.

场地上的尖锐几何形态赋予建筑独特的趣味性，而坚实的混凝土墙则成为光影投射的画布，让新植被和原生树木的影子随着时间推移不断变化。清水混凝土的外表面记录着施工过程的印记，如同一张未经修饰的建筑手稿，讲述着建筑自身的故事。

The acute forms created on the site create a playful geometry and the solid concrete walls become a blank canvas for the shadows of the new and existing foliage to cast upon. The off form concrete skins of the home leave a trace of how they were constructed, not unlike a raw story board.
