架构师提供的文本描述。位于悉尼郊外的霍克斯伯里地区，俯瞰一个风景如画的山谷的小房子，被设计成从市中心撤退。房子是由两个展馆构成的，这些展馆位于等高线上，所有空间都特别面向景观。它对澳大利亚灌木丛的反应，主要是天然材料的使用，并覆盖在当地来源的硬木。木材和混凝土的静音自然色调把房子混入了现场，把它依偎在树上。

Text description provided by the architects. A small home overlooking a picturesque valley in the Hawksbury region just outside of Sydney that has been designed as a retreat from the inner city. The home is configured out of two pavilions that are sited along the contours, with all spaces orienting themselves specifically to the landscape. It responds to the Australian bush, with predominately natural materials used throughout and clad in a locally sourced hardwood. Mute natural tones of the timber and concrete blend the house into the site, nestling it back into the trees.

客户想要安静地逃离他居住的内城，也想要一个娱乐的地方。娱乐和生活馆是围绕着游泳池和厨房，所以白天和晚上可以吃，喝和游泳。卧室的亭子更安静，有更近的风景，一个安静和逃避的地方。家里有一个书房，里面有完整的书柜，还有一幅大框架的树景，顾客可以在那里在远离城市的地方工作。

The client wanted a quiet escape from the inner city where he lives and also a place to entertain. The entertaining and living pavilion is orientated around the pool and kitchen so days and nights can be spent eating, drinking and swimming. The bedroom pavilion is quieter with more intimate views of the landscape, a place of quiet and escape. There is home study with full bookcase and a large framed view of the trees beyond where the client can spend time working away from the city.

该住宅被设计为一种节能的太阳能被动设计，深挂保护窗户和屏幕在北部和西部的正面。该房屋的设计是完全可操作的，良好的交叉通风从山谷在炎热的日子，以及有强大的太阳能通道在冬季。

The dwelling has been designed as a passive solar design that is energy efficient, deep overhangs protect the windows and screens are on the northern and western facades. The house is designed to be fully operable, with good cross ventilation from the valley on hot days as well as having strong solar access in the winter time.

对现场和当地环境的影响最小。在整个过程中，广泛使用了当地来源的材料和工匠，并采用了有效的结构解决方案，采用了复合木梁和双层墙，以提高热性能。它是沿等高线设置的房屋的水平确定，以便不需要拆除或添加土在施工期间。房子被推倒在树林里，所以在任何道路上都看不到，对山谷的视觉影响也很小。

There is minimal impact on the site and the local environment. An extensive use of locally sourced materials and craftsmen was used throughout and an efficient structural solution was adopted with composite timber beams and double walls to increase the thermal performance. It is set along the contours with the levels of the house determined so that no removal or addition of earth was required during construction. The house is pushed back into the trees so that it is not seen from any of the roads and has minimal visual impact on the valley.
