Appreciation towards Luigi Rosselli Architects for providing the following description:

该建筑位于贝尔维尤山一处陡峭的坡地上，拥有鹰巢般的视野，周围景色一览无余。在这里海港如同舞台布景，而悉尼如幻似真，我们仿佛置身戏剧，眼前充斥着华丽的装束，小而密的摊位点缀在城市平坦而热闹的地带。

Designed on a steep site, located just below the summit of Bellevue Hill, this substantial residence has been endowed with an eagle’s nest panorama.  The harbour is Sydney’s stage set and here on this hill we sit in the dress circle of this theatrical city, the stalls, with their restricted views, lie below in the flat and crowded areas of the town.

悉尼由多个城区组成，坐落在盆地岩石陡坡上，就像葡萄牙的里斯本、瑞士的洛桑以及巴西的里约热内卢。古罗马人喜欢平坦的地方，他们网格状的街道布局可以不受任何地形条件的限制，而古希腊人则选择高地定居，如此即可寻求更广阔的视野，方便创造出诸多与众不同的不规则街道景观。

Sydney belongs to a family of towns, nestled on a rocky escarpment that rises over a water basin, much like Lisbon in Portugal, Lausanne in Switzerland and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.  While the ancient Romans preferred flat land, where their rational street grids could be laid out undisturbed by changes in topography, the ancient Greeks, on the other hand, settled on high ground that provided great vistas and created more irregular and naturalistic street layouts.

在悉尼定居的早期欧洲殖民者接受了浪漫主义的影响，过于热衷风景优美的地带。当悉尼商业中心建在杰克逊港最平坦的土地上之后，最富有的移民者都统统搬移到了城市东部的山区；以及波茨角、达令角、派珀角和贝尔维尤山的郊区，在那里，他们沉醉于港口壮丽的景色和海岸优美的风光。然而这种钟情迅速转变成了占有的激情，接着成为一种商品。于是这些风景都按平米单价出售，而议会和法院则花费大量时间处理住宅争议的仲裁事务。

Sydney’s early European settlement was influenced by romanticism and its passion for the picturesque landscape.  Once Sydney town’s commercial heart was established in the flattest part of Port Jackson Harbour, the wealthiest settlers moved to the hills east of the town; to the suburbs of Potts Point, Darling Point, Point Piper and Bellevue Hill, where they fell quickly in love with their views of the harbour and its picturesque shores.  This love quickly became a possessive passion, and then a commodity.  These views are sold by the square metre, and the Councils and the courts spend the majority of their time on residential matters arbitrating on disputes over views.

在悉尼，追逐风景几乎成了一种病态痴迷，当人们谈及此事时，不妨回忆一下普鲁斯特的名言:“何不把完整的风景留给毫无想象力之人。”

In Sydney, views have become an almost pathological obsession and when considering views one should recall a saying paraphrased from Proust: ‘Let us leave pretty views to those with no imagination’.
