该项目是对街景的一种优雅的补充，它的存在不受常见的双车库门布置的支配。可居住的车库和公用室共用一道墙，适宜居住的房间位于外围，从而允许更多的自然光和自然交叉透气到延长的平面上。

The project is an elegant addition to the streetscape with a presence that is not dominated by the commonly sighted double garage door arrangement.  Inhabitable garages and utility rooms share the common wall and habitable rooms are on the outer perimeter, thereby permitting more natural light and natural cross-ventialtion to the elongated plan.

有一个到达的经验，邀请和吸引一个人从街道和入口的南部，通过住宅，向后向北的居住空间。中央庭院和设置好的外部砌块叶片墙，让自然光线淹没了走廊，提供了框架景观和景观连接，同时保持了邻居之间的隐私。对面的墙是不起眼的黑色垂直木包层，从外部遮住车库门，然后包裹复式公用室的核心。

There is an arrival experience that invites and draws one from the street and entry on the south, through the residence, to the rear north-facing living spaces. A central courtyard and off-set external blockwork blade walls allow natural light to flood the hallway and provide framed views and connection to the landscape whilst maintaining privacy between neighbours.  The opposite wall is the unassuming yet rich black stained vertical timber cladding which begins externally concealing the garage door then wraps the core of the duplex utility rooms.

丰富的黑暗的黑色木材形式是间断的新颖，清新的白色开口和凹槽。沿着走廊是外部的彩色灰色块和地板到天花板的玻璃，提供自然光，自然通风和一种感觉的景观悄悄进入。旁边的庭院和楼梯上的两层空隙加强了整个家庭的旅程。它还允许空间垂直开放，无论是视觉上还是声音上，将上层和底层的生活区相互连接起来，景观和天空。走廊从入口处也稍微伸展开来，以进一步打开通往北面开放式住宅、厨房、餐饮和后花园的连接；一处私人绿洲，配有盖的露天壁画、游泳池和宁静花园。顶层是这套复式公寓的私人领地，包括卧室和一间家庭房间。

The rich darkness of the black timberform is punctuated by novel, refreshing white openings and recesses. Along the hallway is the external coloured grey blockwork and floor to ceiling glazing which provides natural light, natural ventilation and a sense of the landscape creeping in. The side courtyard and two storey void at the staircase enhance the journey through the home. It also allows the space to open vertically, both visually and acoustically, to connect the upper and ground floor living areas to each other, the landscape and the sky. The hallway is also slightly splayed from the entry, to further open up the connection to the north-facing open plan living, kitchen, dining and rear backyard; a private oasis complete with covered alfresco, pool and tranquil garden.  The upper level is the private domain of the duplex containing bedrooms and a family room.
