潜在的设计意图是在一个现代的家庭房里探索“前景和避难”的概念，然后把这个想法应用于勃朗特海滩附近的一个特定地点上。
The underlying design intent was toexplore the notion of “prospect and refuge” within a contemporary family house and then to apply the idea to a specific site near Bronte Beach.
“前景”是不断变化的海滩和到海滩南部的海岸景色。“避难”是一种对比鲜明的特点，在这里，我们创造了有着庇护和外壳感觉的自省空间。
The “prospect” were the constantly changing beach and coast views to the south of the site. The “refuge” was the other contrasting character where we created introspective spaces that provide a sense of sanctuary and enclosure.
通过制定了两个雕刻的具体形式来对应其特定的用途和方向，房屋所驾驭的这两个特点是很适合居住的。它的边缘形状像管子一样圆滑，每一个都是独立的，上面的管子可以扭转方向看到景色，然而，低一点的管子是朝向街道的。
These two driving desires for the house were accommodated through devising two sculpted concrete forms responding to their particular use and orientation. The forms are rounded at the edges similar to tubes which are independent of each other enabling the upper tube to twist towards the view while the lower tube orientates to the street.
上管中包含的生活空间是开放式且雕刻出来的，这样可以使北方冬天的阳光深入到空间内部，并且可以视野畅通的看到南部景观。在流行东风的季节时，这种形式也提供了一种通过房屋的高效被动式通风。
The upper tube containing the living spaces is open ended and carved out which allows the northern winter sun to penetrate deeply into the space while allowing an unimpeded outlook to the southern view. The form also provides efficient passive ventilation drawing the prevailing nor’ east breeze through the house.
在两个较低的高度中，空间的特点转变为隐私和避难的地方。中间的管型地方是卧室，每一个都有着不同的方向和视野。下层有一个洞穴，像是由切断基岩壁所形成的房间氛围，一个黑暗的石材地板连接着内外部空间。泳池在岩壁和花园之间提供了一种水元素过渡。
On the two lower levels the character of the spaces changes to places of privacy and refuge. The middle tube houses the bedrooms, each with a different aspect and outlook. The lower level has a cave like atmosphere with the room formed by a cut bedrock wall and a dark stone floor connecting the internal and external spaces. The pool provides a water element spanning between the rock wall and the garden.
作为一个现代化的融入，这个房屋很大胆的坐落在周边环境很差的建筑物中。它们有着不同的建筑风格，规模和材料，因此，这样的房屋在形式和颜色上创造了一种反衬。房子的均质外观使它的形式通过阳光和阴影被强调出来，这些阴影是随着不断转移的光影和阳光的移动路径而形成的。
The house boldly sits as a modern insertion into the typically poor building stock of its surrounding environment. The context is of varying building styles, scales and materials so the house creates a deliberate contrast in form and colour. The homogenous appearance of the house allows the forms to be emphasised by sun and shadow with the play of light continually shifting and moving with the path of the sun.
