Biv是一系列建筑中的第一个，为西海岸之旅的旅行者提供高端的短期住宿。坐落在普纳凯基（Punakaiki）灌木丛中，其美学概念是对历史上的金矿工人小屋的重新诠释，但又配备了所有现代设施，以热烈欢迎现代旅行者，并鼓励他们拥有独特的西海岸和新西兰体验。
The first in a series of buildings, Biv offers high-end, short-term accommodation for travelers on their West Coast journey. Nestled in the Punakaiki bush, the aesthetic concept was a reinterpretation of a historic gold miners’ hut, but with all the modern facilities to warmly welcome modern-day travelers and encourage them to have a uniquely West Coast and New Zealand experience.
建筑的形式借鉴了历史上金矿工人小屋的许多外部烟囱的做法。在内部，面向天空的天窗代表了烟囱的顶部。开放式的布局和大量的窗户和玻璃为旅行者提供了一个全方位的体验，而最小但豪华的设施的平衡恰恰足以让人关注简单的生活，同时仍然保持舒适和令人难忘。
The form of the building took cues from many of the exterior chimneys repeated on historic gold miner huts. Internally, the sky-facing skylight represents the top of the smokestack. The open plan layout and a large amount of windows and glazing offer travelers an all-encompassing experience, while the balance of minimal but luxury facilities is just enough to keep the focus on simple living while still remaining comfortable and memorable.
就像它的采矿业前辈一样，这个小屋要尽可能地减少对土地的接触。耐用的混凝土地板只悬挂在几根混凝土桩上，没有正式的景观设计，促进了简单生活的美感。桩与承重物的连接处有一个可调节的支架，以便将来在山体滑坡时可以重新调整水平。
Like its mining predecessors, this cabin was to have as minimal touch on the land as possible. A durable concrete floor suspended on only a few concrete piles with no formal landscaping promotes the aesthetic of simple living. The piles to bearer connections have an adjustable bracket to allow for future releveling, should the landslide it’s built on the move.
全木质的内部结构（与全钢的外部结构一起）被选择来代表历史上的矿工小屋的美学。但与老式小屋不同的是，这栋建筑的大量木材和高度绝缘的结构确保它保持稳定和舒适的内部温度，不需要人的投入就能保持舒适。为了营造氛围，我们安装了一个小火炉，因为丛林中的小木屋没有一个是完整的，而且空间的光线故意不足，以促进夜间的放松环境，并将焦点吸引到中央火炉和吊灯上，模仿白天看到的丛林中的俏皮的阴影。
A full timber interior (alongside the full steel exterior) was chosen to represent the historic miner’s hut aesthetic. But unlike an old hut, this building’s mass timber and highly insulated construction ensure it maintains a stable and comfortable internal temperature with no need for human input to remain comfortable. A small fire was installed for ambiance, as no cabin in the bush is complete without one, and spaces are intentionally underlit to promote a relaxing environment at night and draw the focus to the central fire and pendant light that mimics the playful shadows of the bush seen during the day.
所有的细节设计都要尽可能的简约，以模糊室内外的界限，从而吸引客人进一步进入西海岸的丛林体验。窗户和天窗的位置至关重要，以确保客人能瞥见重要的景观，如后面的悬崖，上面的悬树，以及各个方向的夜空和灌木丛。
All detailing was to be as minimalist as possible to blur the line between interior and exterior, therefore drawing guests further into their West Coast bush experience. Window and skylight placement was critical to ensure guests capture glimpses of the important views such as the cliff behind, overhanging trees above, and the night sky and bush in all directions.
全玻璃的墙壁捕捉到了大片的灌木丛，创造了许多可拍摄的瞬间。灌木丛尽可能地靠近小屋，以过滤光线，并允许尽可能多的自然色彩和灌木丛的阴影投射到小屋的内部墙壁上。一个夹层可以在需要时提供额外的住宿，或者是一个简单的放松、观星或观看西海岸降雨的地方。
The fully glazed walls capture large portions of bush creating many instagrammable moments. The bush was kept as close to the cabin as possible to filter light and allow as much of the natural colors and shadows from the bush to be cast in the interior walls of the cabin. A mezzanine allows for extra accommodation if needed, or a place to simply relax, stargaze or watch the West Coast rain come down.
除了低能源输入，在保持耐用性的同时，低碳也是材料选择的一个重要因素，交叉层压木材（CLT）形式的大规模木材结构抵消了更耐用和高热质量的混凝土地板和耐腐蚀的铝覆层的高碳。
Along with low energy input, low embodied carbon while maintaining durability was an important factor in material selection, with mass timber construction in the form of cross-laminated timber (CLT) offsetting the higher carbon of the more durable and high thermal mass concrete floor and corrosion resistant aluminum cladding.
