塔路住宅被构思成一座生活在其中的雕塑，它代表了客户和建筑师的共同信念，即当代艺术以一种深刻而有意义的方式丰富了生活。挑战标准的家庭观念，建筑的抽象形式围绕着坡地弯曲，参考了克里斯托的 "奔跑的栅栏"，将概念艺术的公共界面引入场地立面。

Conceived as a sculpture to live within, the Towers Road House represents a shared belief between clients and architects that contemporary art enriches life in a profound and meaningful way. Challenging standard notions of domesticity, the abstract form of the building curves around the sloping site, referencing Christo’s Running Fence, introducing a public interface with conceptual art to the established suburb of Toorak.

就像一块幕布，巨大的混凝土墙刻出了一系列景观弧线，消除了典型的边界围栏，将花园延伸到街道，模糊了公共和私人空间的界限。同时，这种姿态产生了一个隐蔽的私人领域，并有机会将所有的生活和卧室空间开放到北部花园。建筑的顶部是一条水平线，用一个立体的半球形来完成，轻轻地穿透下面看似坚不可摧的质量。覆盖在锌中的形式参考了一个倒置的屋顶或穹顶，进一步将建筑传统转化为雕塑元素。

Like a curtain, the substantial concrete wall carves out a series of landscaped arcs eliminating the archetypal boundary fence, extending the garden to the street and blurring the demarcation between public and private space. Simultaneously, this gesture generates a secluded private realm and the opportunity to open all living and bedroom spaces onto a northern garden. The top of the building is a horizontal line, finished with a three-dimensional hemisphere draped to gently penetrate the seemingly impenetrable mass below. Clad in zinc, the form references an inverted roof or dome, further transforming architectural conventions into sculptural elements.

场地消除了与街道相连的围墙，从一条蜿蜒的小路进入，穿过纪念性的混凝土墙和非正式的花园，环绕着一个低于街道水平的球形门廊。墙面上有一扇门，引导人们穿过一个戏剧性的双高走廊。黑暗、狭窄的通道在到达的过程中产生了片刻的停顿，因为令人印象深刻的垂直度，缓缓弯曲的原始混凝土模板在内部显现出来。

Eliminating fenestration to the street, the site is entered from a winding path through monumental concrete walls and informal gardens encircling a spherical portico set below street level. The wall is punctuated by a single door that leads one through a dramatic double-height corridor. The dark, narrow passage creates a moment’s pause in the arrival sequence as the impressive verticality of the gently curving raw concrete formwork reveals itself internally.

与周边结构的严谨形成鲜明对比的是，建筑向北面的全玻璃立面开放，使室内充满了丰富的自然光，拥抱着景观花园和一棵有150年历史的飞机树。

In absolute contrast to the austerity of the perimeter structure, the building opens to a fully glazed northern façade, filling the interior with an abundance of natural light and embracing the landscaped garden and views to a 150-year-old plane tree.

为了满足客户的要求，该项目通过层级分隔，在底层创造出灵活的、诱人的生活空间和综合艺术画廊。圆形下沉式休息室的设计是为了向围绕着壁炉的家庭中央聚会空间致敬。围绕着裸露的混凝土墙，通过一个弯曲的双楼梯进入，私人空间位于楼上，分为父母和孩子的两个单独空间。地下一层还设有容纳艺术馆、酒窖和停车场的额外空间。

Responding to the client brief, the program is separated by levels creating flexible, inviting living spaces with integrated art galleries on the ground level. The circular sunken lounge is designed to pay homage to the familial central gathering space around a fireplace. Accessible by a curving dual staircase wrapping around an exposed concrete wall, the private spaces are located upstairs, divided into separate wings for the parents and the children. Additional spaces to accommodate an art gallery, wine cellar and car parking are located in the basement level.

平面树冠下的大型私人户外空间紧邻游泳池和泳池别墅，被重重种植的边界所遮挡。凹形外墙形成的壁龛中种植了小块花园，在不影响私密性的同时，还能欣赏到青翠的景色。

A large private outdoor space beneath the plane tree canopy sits adjacent a swimming pool and pool house, shielded from view by the heavily planted boundary. Small pockets of gardens are planted in the niches formed by the concave external walls allowing verdant views without compromising privacy.

雕塑般的建筑，其当代语言使其与传统的邻居形成鲜明对比，满足了客户对一个大胆而出人意料的家的渴望，体现了他们对澳大利亚当代艺术和建筑的承诺。

Sculptural, the building’s contemporary language stands it in contrast to its conventional neighbours, satisfying the clients' desire for a bold and unexpected home embodying their commitment to contemporary Australian art and architecture.

2018年，塔路住宅获得了AIA维多利亚州住宅建筑奖，在随后的房产销售中，它被《澳大利亚人报》认为是，"维多利亚州有史以来最昂贵的住宅房地产销售"。

In 2018 the Towers Road House received an AIA Victoria Award for Residential Architecture and in a subsequent property sale it was deemed, "Victoria's most expensive ever residential real estate sale” by The Australian.
