架构师提供的文本描述。在玛莎山一侧的一个相对较新的细分区域内，斯普利特·豪斯谈判了一系列典型的新兴沿海开发项目的复杂条件。郊区模式的新房子，铺好的车道和信箱，争相看到菲利普湾港的广阔景色，并得到相对荒凉的马莎公共公园海岸林地的支持。该地区的建筑工程正在进行中；在不同成熟阶段有花园的已完工房屋被空置的空地点缀，清除了所有的植被。

Text description provided by the architects. Set within a relatively recent subdivision upon the side of Mt Martha, the Split House negotiates a complex range of conditions typical of emerging coastal developments. New houses for ‘downsizers’ in a suburban mode, paved driveways and letterboxes prevail, vying for the expansive views to Port Philip Bay, and backed by the relatively wild, coastal woodland of Mt Martha Public Park. Construction works are ongoing in the area; completed houses with gardens at varying stages of maturity are punctuated by empty lots cleared of all vegetation.

在这种情况下，拆分屋提供了一系列的空间关系到其网站和更广泛的领域，仔细平衡业主的隐私和参与的愿望与他们的周围。这座房子由两个相对简单的书籍组成，连接着一个伸展的楼梯，它也是人们聚集、听音乐、坐在阳光下的一个座位区。这两个展馆占据着与自然轮廓相一致的不同层次，在上面、主要的起居/主卧室区和下面的喧闹室/客人卧室之间提供了一个分隔。通过管理门窗，一系列与景观的直接和间接联系为全年的职业提供了多种机会。较小的元素，如整合的座位、楼梯和书房角落，为安静的沉思提供了空间，与更大的公共区域并列，供家人和朋友聚在一起。

Within this context the Split House provides a range of spatial relationships to its site and the broader territory that carefully balances the owners’ desire for privacy and engagement with their surrounds. The house comprises 2 relatively simple volumes linked by a splayed stair that also acts as a seating area for people to gather, listen to music, sit in the sun. Occupying separate levels that follow the natural contours of the site, the 2 pavilions provide a separation between the upper, main living/master bedroom zone and rumpus room/guest bedrooms below. Through the curation of windows and doors a range of direct and indirect connections to the landscape provide multiple opportunities for occupation throughout the year. Smaller elements, such as integrated seating, stairs and study nooks provide spaces for quiet contemplation, juxtaposed with larger communal areas for family and friends to come together.

从一开始，房子之间的景观和空间被认为与建筑物本身同等重要；屏风和细腻的Pergola元素为房子周围提供了隐蔽性的区域，以一系列不同的空间展现出不同的光线和阴影。

At its inception the landscape and spaces in-between the house were conceived as of equal importance as the building itself; screens and finely detailed pergola elements provide sheltered zones around the house that reveal themselves as a sequence of distinct spaces with varying qualities of light and shadow.
