空间融合与场地回应：该项目最令人瞩目的亮点在于它对空间和环境的巧妙融合。ZAWA工作室并非简单地新建，而是通过对现有乡村住宅的重新解读，将建筑与周围花园紧密相连。连接阳台的设计尤其出色，它不再是次要空间，而是成为了建筑的中心，创造了一个阴凉的开放式生活区，模糊了室内与室外的界限。这种设计手法体现了对场地文脉的深刻理解，建筑师尊重并利用了现有的自然环境，通过对光线、风和景观的精细控制，实现了建筑与自然的和谐共生，创造了一个舒适宜人的居住体验。

可持续设计与材料选择：项目的精髓在于对可持续性的全面考量。建筑师将可持续理念巧妙地融入设计中，采用了被动式太阳能设计、交叉通风、雨水收集、本土植被等多种措施。更重要的是，项目优先考虑保留和适应现有结构，减少了浪费和隐含能源的消耗。材料的选择也体现了对环境的尊重，选择了耐用、低影响且本地采购的材料。这种设计理念不仅降低了建筑对环境的负面影响，更重要的是，为居住者创造了一种与自然和谐共生的生活方式，展现了对可持续建筑的深刻理解与实践。

细节处理与悉尼学派精神：该项目还体现了对建筑细节的极致追求。建筑师细致地处理了接缝和连接，巧妙地框定了开口，以捕捉阳光、阴影和远景。走廊屋顶的坡度经过精心校准，以平衡夏季遮阳与冬季阳光的照射。这种对细节的关注，以及对材料的运用，体现了悉尼学派的精神，即精心打造、对场地做出积极回应。整个项目展现了一种内敛而富有表现力的美学，创造了一种诚实而富有触感的建筑语言。这种对细节的关注最终造就了一个平静、舒适，且与环境深度融合的居住空间。

建筑师提供的文字描述。Brian Zulaikha和Janet Laurence的这个项目位于新南威尔士州南海岸的Woodhill山下，将一个朴素的乡村住宅重新想象成一个与花园、光线和气候有着深厚联系的地方。这所房子周围环绕着一个成熟的本土花园和充满活力的野生动物，这对夫妇买下这所房子就是为了享受大自然。ZAWA工作室的设计回应旨在通过轻盈、灵敏的触感来化解房子和花园之间的界限。
Text description provided by the architects. Perched beneath Woodhill Mountain on the NSW South Coast, this project for Brian Zulaikha and Janet Laurence reimagines a modest rural home into a place of deep connection with garden, light, and climate. The house, surrounded by an established native garden and vibrant wildlife, was bought by the couple to enjoy exactly that — nature. The design response by Studio ZAWA seeks to dissolve the threshold between house and garden with a light, sensitive touch.

最初的住宅由三个亭子和阳台组成，向早期的欧洲-澳大利亚乡村建筑致敬。ZAWA工作室没有拆除，而是重新诠释了这种方言，将阳台不是作为次要或过渡空间，而是置于住宅的建筑和社会中心。一个新的连接阳台创造了一个阴凉的露天生活空间，它的Blackbutt天花板引导着微风穿过房子，而花岗岩铺面则从室内花园无缝延伸，让生活在两者之间轻松地流淌。
The original home consisted of three pavilions joined by verandahs, a nod to early Euro-Australian rural architecture. Rather than demolish, Studio ZAWA reinterpreted this vernacular to place the verandah not as a secondary or transitional space, but at the architectural and social heart of the home. A new linking verandah creates a shaded, open-air living space, its Blackbutt ceiling directing breezes through the house, while granite paving extends seamlessly from the garden indoors, allowing life to spill easily between the two.

与现有结构密切合作，设计优先考虑保留和适应，以减少浪费和隐含能源。材料的选择具有耐用性、低环境影响和本地采购。该项目的可持续性认证是全面的，但也是悄悄整合的：被动式太阳能设计、深檐、交叉通风、热质量、雨水收集、本土种植、太阳能电池阵列和电动汽车充电。这些功能使房子能够完全电动，并在环境中轻松行走。
Working closely with the existing structure, the design prioritises retention and adaptation to reduce waste and embodied energy. Materials were selected for durability, low environmental impact, and local sourcing. The project's sustainability credentials are comprehensive yet quietly integrated: passive solar design, deep eaves, cross-ventilation, thermal mass, rainwater harvesting, native planting, a solar array, and EV charging. These features enable the house to be fully electric and to tread lightly in its environment.

Floor Plan

该建筑反映了悉尼学校的精神——精心打造，对场地反应灵敏。材料富有表现力，但内敛，细节诚实而富有触觉。接缝和连接处被小心地解决，而开口则被框起来以捕捉阳光、移动的阴影和悬崖的远景。走廊屋顶的坡度经过仔细校准，以平衡夏季的遮阳与冬季的阳光和景色。
The construction reflects the ethos of the Sydney School — crafted and site-responsive. Materials are expressive but restrained, and detailing is honest and tactile. Joints and junctions are resolved with care, while openings are framed to capture sunlight, shifting shadows, and long views of the escarpment. The verandah roof pitch was carefully calibrated to balance summer shading with winter sun and views.

其结果是，一座房子悄然改变了居住者的日常仪式——一台生活在花园里的机器。珍妮特和布莱恩现在喜欢一个自然凉爽的家，欢迎泥泞的鞋子，并邀请野生动物进入视野。它已经成为一个季节性变化、平静和深度可持续性的地方，无论是环境还是情感。
The result is a house that quietly transforms its occupants' daily rituals — a machine for living within the garden. Janet and Brian now enjoy a home that cools naturally, welcomes muddy shoes, and invites wildlife into view. It has become a place of seasonal change, of calm, and of deep sustainability — both environmental and emotional.
