沃克卢斯离太平洋很近，离悉尼港的入口处很近。这片曾经点缀着大别墅的海角，如今成了一个典型的郊区。

Vaucluse is close to Sydney Harbour’s entrance from the Pacific Ocean. This headland, once sparsely dotted with the grand villas, is now a typical suburb.

设计和视图。

Design and views.

新的阳台，墙壁和景观保护房子和框架景观。从餐厅露台的深避难所，您可以追溯曼利渡轮的尾迹到圆形码头。餐桌上可以看到北面和开阔的大海。

New balconies, walls and landscape protect the house and frame views. From the deep refuge of the dining terrace you can trace the Manly Ferry’s wake to Circular Quay. The kitchen table has a view of North Head and the open sea.

另一扇窗户是在欧洲以前的灌木丛和砂岩的海角形成的。这些观点使你在景观中的方向，并揭示天气模式和其他特点的地方。

Another window frames a Pre-European view of bush and sandstone headland. These views orient you in the landscape and reveal weather patterns and other characteristics of place.

规划和景观。

Planning and landscape.

建筑面积和散装面积有所减少，私人休憩用地和景观美化也有所增加。新的景观和规模的减少使建筑在不同的街景中定居下来。

Floor area and bulk and have been reduced; private open space and landscaping increased. New landscape and reductions in scale settle the building in a varied streetscape.

 Ground Floor Plan

起居空间在一楼的“钢琴鼻孔”，在那里，一个双高的露台深深地插进了大楼。现有的底层卧室都有私人绿地，每一间都能看到海港的景色。现有的房间和空间被改造成令人难忘的新地方。

Living spaces are on the first floor “piano nobile” where a double height terrace cuts deep into the building. Existing ground floor bedrooms have private green spaces each with a view of the harbour. Existing rooms and spaces have been re-formed into memorable new places.

环境设计。

Environmental design.

长寿命，宽松配合，再利用和热乐趣是该项目的环境原则.原始建筑的实际能量被保留作为一个新的巨大的，被动的太阳能环境的一部分。现有的双层和三重砖墙上的“产出”提供的R值高达3.8雷亚尔。卧室级别有9星级热舒适等级。

Long life, loose fit, re-use and thermal delight are the project’s environmental principles. The original building’s embodied energy is retained as part of a new massive, passive solar environment. “Outsulation” over existing double and triple brick walls provides R-values of up to R 3.8. The bedroom level has a 9 star thermal comfort rating.

 Second Floor Plan

二层平面图

深挂保护玻璃，允许冬季阳光照射在石头，砖和混凝土上。水热、太阳能热水和游泳池供暖是由一个系统控制的，该系统还监测电力和天然气的使用情况、加热和冷却水平以及占用情况，并有能力进行未来的光伏安装。要保证水质，必须注意雨水收集技术。

Deep overhangs protected glazing and permit winter sun onto the stone, brick and concrete. Hydronic heating, solar hot water and pool heating are controlled by a system which also monitors power and gas usage, heating and cooling levels and occupancy, and has capacity for a future PV installation. Water quality is ensured by careful attention to rainwater harvesting technology.
