架构师提供的文本描述。一个低生态影响的家庭在海滩的家，尽量减少运作和体现的能量，有效地捕获和再利用水，鼓励生物多样性，也是一个健康的家，一个家庭享受。房子呼吸通过其中央肺-通风的双高度中庭空间，通过分层被动地将空气吸入房屋-一个传感器位于这个肺内，所以如果它的温度超过26度，被动通风口就会切换到混合模式，以帮助在更高的空气交换中抽出空气。

Text description provided by the architects. A low ecological impact family home by the beach that minimised operational and embodied energy, efficiently captured and re‐use water, encouraged bio‐diversity and is also be a healthy home for a family to enjoy. The house breaths through its central lung – the vented double height atrium space which draws air through the house passively via stratification – a sensor sits within this lung so if its temperature exceeds 26 degrees the passive vents switch to hybrid mode to help draw out the air at a higher exchange of air.

住宅被设计成三种不同的元素：第一元素是浮动盒，里面有卧室和浴室等私人功能。单元2是与周围环境相连的底层，第3单元是用于存储和在恶劣天气中作为次要公共空间的亚地形Loggia空间。

The dwelling has been designed as three distinct elements. Element 1 is the floating box which houses the private functions such as bedrooms and bathrooms. Element 2 is the ground floor that connects with the surrounding environment and Element 3 is the sub‐terrain loggia space that is used for storage and as a secondary communal space during inclement weather.

每个元素都具有不同的功能，因此具有不同的热质量、隔热和遮阳策略，以优化空间在夏季和冬季如何被动地工作。

Each element is performs a different function and as such has differing thermal mass, insulation and shading strategies to optimise how the spaces act passively during both summer and winter.
