灯塔是英格兰南部海岸的一个海滨房屋。它是超保温的豪华三居室房屋，坐落在有着美丽海景一侧的位置上，享受着索伦特和怀特岛的壮丽景色。

The Lighthouse is a beachfront property on the south coast of England. It is a super insulated, luxury 3 bedroom house sitting in a beautiful water side location enjoying stunning views of the Solent and the Isle of Wight.

该位置被封闭在两个相邻建筑物之间，北面有一个7米高的筑堤；其中人行道和街道入口坐落在顶部。这种到房屋顶层的入口，和高于海滩，英吉利海峡和南部的怀特岛的单方向景色，引起了一个有趣的设计，灵感来自于传统的沙滩亭，例如在Bexhill中沿着海岸有一点远的De La Warr。

The site is enclosed between two neighbouring buildings and a 7m high embankment to the north; of which pavement and street access sits at the top. This access, to the roof level of the property, and the one-directional view over the beach, English Channel and Isle of Wight to the south, has led to an interesting design which takes inspiration from traditional beach pavilions such as the De La Warr in Bexhill a little further along the coast.

设计的理念是最大限度的扩大建筑物的高度，让每一个主要的客房都可以享受到远处广阔的景色。所有的浴室和实用空间被安排在房屋的后面，让所有的生活空间构成一个连续的视野。房子坐落在路面下方的7米处，屋顶可以作为3辆汽车的停车板。视觉上，屋顶和地面甲板都从中心混凝土核心处悬挂着，终端位于给地面提供阴凉和露天庇护的大悬臂梁上。

The design concept was to maximize the building’s width, so every key room enjoys expansive views of the vista. All bathrooms and utility spaces run at the rear of the property, allowing the view to be continuous for all living spaces. The house sits 7 metres below road level with the roof acting as a parking deck for 3 cars. Visually the roof and floor decks are hung from the central concrete core, terminating in large cantilevers that provide shade and open-air shelter to the ground floor.

阳台和露天住宿由小心地从中央接入塔处悬挑出来的水平面提供，这个塔穿透了屋顶平面；在它之上坐落了提供入口的无框玻璃外壳，作为灯塔。这个外壳内部的照明是通过一个给海滩和大海以外提供瞬时信息的晴雨表而运行的。

Balconies and outdoor accommodation are provided by horizontal planes carefully cantilevered from a central access tower which penetrates the roof plane; atop of which sits a frameless glass enclosure providing access and acting as a lighthouse. Lighting within this enclosure is triggered by a barometer providing instantaneous information to the beach and sea beyond.

这种照明的玻璃立方体坐落在混凝土台阶核心的顶部。到了晚上，发光的玻璃亮起，来指示当地的天气情况：天气晴朗时显示绿色，气压下降时显示红色，以此来警告通过的游艇可能会出现暴风雨的情况。

This illuminated glass cube sits on top of the concrete stair core. At night the lit glass glows to indicate local weather conditions: green when weather is fair and red when atmospheric pressure drops, warning passing yachtsmen of possible stormy conditions.
