与当地盛行的住宅美学不同，该住宅以分散而现代的造型置入波特西的绿化之中。它既是娱乐场所，又是静修处，因此被划分为两个明暗相间、开合有致的对比区域。
In contrast to the prevailing aesthetic of its location, this house is a discrete, contemporary insertion in a leafy pocket of Portsea. As much an entertainer as a retreat, it is divided into two contrasting areas, distinguished by light and dark, openness and containment.

弧形的夯土片墙像卷轴一样环绕场地，将建筑外形固定在地面上。墙体充当温度调节器，并平衡了二层伸出斜坡的部分。从形式上看，它创造了与街道隔离的私密性，这是设计的关键因素，同时也通过分散的结构和深色木材防水板覆层得到加强。当地景观进一步框定和过滤了建筑视野，自然环境与建筑形式的相互作用继续成为贯穿始终的中心主题。
Anchoring the form to the site is a curved, rammed-earth, blade wall, which wraps like a scroll across the site. Its mass acts as a thermal regulator and balances the upper level as it cantilevers out from the slope. Formally it creates privacy from the street, a key factor of the brief and is reinforced by the structure’s discrete siting and use of dark timber weatherboard cladding. Indigenous landscaping further frames and filters the view of the building and this interaction between the natural environment and the built form continues as a central theme throughout.

在片墙上方，弧形墙面吸引着人们的目光，其形状因为没有边缘而变得柔和。外部空间促进建筑形式和场地的相互作用，同时保持形式上的区别并突出形式主义建筑与自然主义景观之间的对比。
Beyond the blade wall, the eye is drawn around the curved walls, the form softened by the absence of edges. The external spaces encourage interaction between built form and site while maintaining a distinction in form and accentuating the contrast between the formalist architecture and the naturalist landscape.

经过整体片墙进入前门后，一部宏伟的楼梯蜿蜒而上，通往开放式生活空间。后立面采用通高玻璃，使远处景观成为生活区域的内部背景，宽阔的露台从这里伸出，既接入基地又漂浮在其上，利用自然坡度一直延伸到后方角落。露台后的泳池区被一道弧形的砖石矮墙遮挡了一部分，与建筑形式相呼应，并提供一定程度的私密性。
Upon entering the front door through the monolithic blade wall a grand staircase winds up to the open living space above. The full-height glazed rear facade allows the landscaping beyond to act as the internal wallpaper of the living area. An expansive deck flows from this space and both connects to, and floats over, the site, utilising the natural slope up to the rear corner. A pool area at the rear of the deck is partially screened by a curved masonry dwarf wall, which responds to the form of the building and provides a degree of privacy.

倾斜的场地基本将住宅的空间组织分为三个侧翼，它们跨越两层楼并且围绕露天中庭布置。其中两翼设有卧室和服务空间，而第三个也是最大的侧翼则用于生活空间，包括隐蔽的酒吧、娱乐区和厨房。此外，地下一层设有娱乐室，通向与街景隔绝的私人庭院。
The sloping site largely informed the spatial organisation of residence into three distinct wings, across two levels, arranged around a central open-air atrium. Two of these wings accommodate bedroom and service spaces, while the third and largest wing is used for the living spaces including a secluded bar, entertaining area and kitchen. A rumpus room is provided at the basement level, which opens onto private courtyard spaces shielded from the street view.
