隐秘的宏伟与空间叙事：“新城堡”项目最令人瞩目的亮点在于其对“围合”与“隐蔽”的巧妙运用。设计师将住宅包裹在一个有围墙的花园之中，创造了一个“亚玫瑰色避难所”，这种设计理念不仅赋予了建筑私密性，更赋予了它一种神秘感。通过精心布置的开口，建筑与外部世界保持了一种若即若离的关系，引发人们的好奇心。内部空间的设计则体现了对自然光和通风的极致追求，蜿蜒的房间序列与花园互动，创造出丰富多变的体验。这种空间叙事手法，使得建筑不仅仅是一个居住场所，更是一个引人入胜的探索之旅，体现了设计师对建筑与环境关系的深刻理解。

材料的诗意与比例的创新：该项目在材料的选择和运用上展现了卓越的艺术品味。非本地石灰石和原混凝土等熟悉材料，通过意想不到的方式组合，创造出一种超凡脱俗的视觉效果。尤其引人注目的是，建筑师对比例的掌控，通过“不合常理”的细长混凝土柱等细节，打破了常规的建筑尺度，创造出一种引人入胜的“超现实”感。这种对材料的诗性运用和比例的创新，使得建筑在整体上既具有现代感，又散发着古典韵味，赋予了建筑独特的个性和生命力。这些设计元素相辅相成，共同塑造了“新城堡”独特的建筑语言。

协作的结晶与细节的极致：项目的成功离不开建筑师、客户、顾问和建造者之间的紧密合作。600多张图纸、长达1000多页的文字交流，都体现了各方对项目的投入和付出。更重要的是，这种协作体现在对每一个细节的极致追求上。从接缝、螺丝到模板线和材料饰面，都经过了精心考虑和处理，这反映了建筑师对完美的执着追求。2.5年的快速建造周期，也证明了团队的高效和卓越的工艺水平。总而言之，“新城堡”不仅是一座建筑，更是一件艺术品，是建筑师、客户和建造者共同努力的结晶，展现了建筑设计的最高境界——对野心、爱和坚韧的完美诠释。

建筑师提供的文字描述。新城堡静静地坐落在梅里韦瑟南部的山麓，展现出一种既雄心勃勃又精致的微妙宏伟。这座住宅被浪漫地想象成一个看不见的天堂花园，其设计完全被一个有围墙的花园所包围，为居民创造了一个亚玫瑰色的避难所。一堵厚厚的石灰岩墙从臀部高度的一个角落开始，在另一个角落上升到近两层楼，只有几个精心布置的开口可以让人看到里面的东西，其中包括一丛卷心菜和一棵成熟的常绿木兰。
Text description provided by the architects. Quietly nestled in the foothills of southern Merewether, the New Castle manifests a subtle grandeur that is both ambitious and refined. Romantically envisioned as an invisible garden of paradise, the residence's design is entirely encompassed within a walled garden, creating a sub rosa sanctuary for its inhabitants. A thick limestone wall begins at one corner at hip height and rises to nearly two stories at the opposite corner, with only a few thoughtfully placed openings offering intriguing glimpses of what lies within, which include a cluster of Cabbage tree palms and a mature evergreen Magnolia Grandiflora.

尽管房子很大，但从街上看，它从未完全显露出它的规模。开放要么是巨大的，要么是最小的——永远不会介于两者之间——增强了它的神秘感。这种设计引发了人们的好奇心，让路人停下来凝视，试图理解这座建筑的真实面貌。
Despite its size, the house never fully reveals its scale from the street. Openings are either massive or minimal – never in between – enhancing its sense of mystery. This design has sparked curiosity, causing passers-by to stop, stare, and attempt to comprehend what the building truly is.

我有意让这个项目看起来超凡脱俗，引人入胜。这是通过创造不可思议的比例和比例，并以意想不到的方式使用模糊熟悉的材料（如非本地石灰石和原混凝土）来实现的，比如高度不完全合理的薄现浇混凝土柱。
I intentionally wanted the project to appear otherworldly and intriguing. This was achieved by creating uncanny scales and proportions and using vaguely familiar materials – such as non-native limestone and raw concrete – in unexpected ways, like the thin in-situ poured concrete columns that are at a height that doesn't entirely make sense.

在花园的围墙内，房子的房间蜿蜒曲折，形成了更多隐藏的室外空间。这一连串的房间，每个房间几乎只有一个房间宽，可以从多个角度与花园互动，同时将自然光和通风引入家中的每个角落。
Inside the garden wall, the rooms of the house snake around, forming more hidden pockets of outdoor space. This procession of rooms, each nearly a single room wide, allows for multiple perspectives and interactions with the gardens, while inviting natural light and ventilation into every corner of the home.

整个家庭的不同层次都与花园形成了独特的关系。一楼，环绕着凉廊和三层庭院，进行着潮湿而阴凉的对话。中层以露天长廊和游泳池为特色，以干燥和树冠为中心。最后，顶层专门用于主卧室，与天空和地平线有着亲密的联系。
The varying levels throughout the home each cultivate a unique relationship with the garden. The ground floor, with its enveloping loggia and three-story courtyards, engages in a wet and shaded dialogue. The middle level, featuring an open-air promenade and pool, centres around the dryness and the canopy. Finally, the top level, dedicated solely to the master bedroom, offers an intimate connection with the sky and the horizon.

从与客户的第一次对话到花园不断变化的环境，该项目一直是客户、建筑师、顾问和建筑商之间持续而动态的合作。在一个由一名年轻建筑师和一名毕业生组成的小团队中，已经发布了不少于600张图纸，建筑师和建筑商之间长达1000多页的文字对话最终促成了这座非凡住宅的完工。
From the first conversations with the clients to the ever-evolving environment of the garden, the project has been a continuous and dynamic collaboration between the client, architect, consultants, and builder. With a tiny team of 1 young architect and a graduate, no fewer than 600 drawings have been issued, and a text conversation reaching over 1000 pages between the architect and the builder has culminated in the completion of this extraordinary home.

每一个接缝、螺丝、模板线和材料饰面都经过了精心考虑，在2.5年的施工期内建造完成。该项目证明了所有参与者的奉献精神和工艺。《新城堡》是一个千载难逢的项目，在每一个细节上都展示了野心、爱和坚韧。
Every joint, screw, formwork line, and material finish has been meticulously considered, built over a remarkably quick 2.5 year construction period. The project is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of everyone involved. New Castle is a once-in-a-career project, showcasing ambition, love, and tenacity in every detail.
