架构师提供的文本描述。该遗址坐落在45米的悬崖边缘，面对着岛屿湾塔普坦加岛的南面，有港口入口、库克海峡和南岛凯库拉的壮丽景色。大部分的地点是一个悬崖面，只提供了一小部分可建的土地在顶部。客户想要一个大家庭住宅，以响应戏剧性的看法，这是宽敞，低维护和能够容纳他们的大收藏新西兰绘画和陶瓷。在暴露的地理位置和威灵顿的气候下，客户需要一个温暖明亮的房子，使客户能够在一天中不同的时间坐在阳光下。

Text description provided by the architects. The site sits on the edge of a 45m cliff facing south over Taputeranga Island in Island Bay, with magnificent views of the harbour entrance, Cook Strait and the South Island Kaikouras. Most of the site is a cliff face and afforded only a small area of buildable land at the top. The clients desired a large family home that responded to the dramatic views, that was spacious, low maintenance and able to accommodate their large collection of NZ paintings and ceramics. The exposed location and Wellingtons climate had the clients seeking a warm well lit house, with the ability for the client to be able to sit in the sun at different hours of the day.

这种建筑形式是由悬崖顶部的海洋位置所激发的；由棱角分明的块体组成，通过一条通道使光线和视野以灯笼的方式穿透两层的空间，并受到场下沿海岩石中的通道的启发。到了晚上，虚空就像悬崖顶上的一座灯塔一样亮了起来。

The building form was inspired by the cliff top maritime location; a composition of angular blocks with a channel cut through allowing light and views to penetrate the two storey volume, in the manner of a lantern and inspired by channels in coastal rocks below the site. At night the void lights up as a light tower at the top of the cliff.

选择锌作为包层，因为它的低维护，耐用性和耐候性，面对极端的含盐风从南方。室内细木工被认为是在空间中捕捉到的浮木元素。地毯的颜色反映了岛上植被的颜色，而瓷砖则反映了房屋俯瞰的海岸上海藻中的颜色。

Zinc was selected as cladding for its low maintenance, durability and weathertightness in the face of extreme salt laden winds from the south. The interior joinery was seen as driftwood elements captured within the spaces. The carpet colour reflects the colour of the vegetation on the island and the tiles the colours found in the seaweed on the shore overlooked by the house.
