这座房子位于一个僻静的灌木丛中，是新西兰独特的乡间小屋类型。它以简单为目标，由一个用于居住/烹饪/饮食的单一体量和一个容纳下层服务/睡眠区的倾斜附件组成。这些空间是开放和共享的，而不是封闭和独立的。
Located on a secluded bush-clad site this house plays on the uniquely NZ typology of the back country hut. Aiming at simplicity it is comprised of a single volume for living/cooking/ eating and a lean-to annex housing the lower floor service/sleeping areas. The spaces are open and shared as opposed to enclosed and separate.
这种体验增强了彼此之间的联系，也增强了与周围环境的联系。生活区两边完全开放，有一种户外房间的感觉，位于甲板上的火炉和浴室将日常活动从房子里引向大自然。
The experience is one of enhanced connection with each other, and of an enhanced connection to the surrounding environment. The living area opens fully on two sides, having the feel of an outdoor room, and the fire and baths located on the deck draw daily activities out of the house and into nature.
室内外广泛使用当地的带锯大树，被动式供暖/通风和高性能的绝缘材料，使房子对环境的影响很小。粗糙的天然材料使房屋毫不费力地融入其环境，而镀锌的波纹铁则用来加强小屋的美感。
Extensive use of locally sourced band sawn macrocarpa inside and out, passive heating /ventilation and high-performance insulation make the house of low impact environmentally. Roughhewn natural materials tie the house effortlessly into its setting, while the galvanized corrugated iron is used to strengthen the hut aesthetic.
室内设计将大量的纹理和打结的带锯木材与平坦、干净、白色、锋利的表面并列。这里的细节设计中没有修饰和珠子–木材与白色表面朴实地交错在一起–为了达到理想的效果，需要高水平的工艺。
The interior design juxtaposes heavily textured and knotted band sawed timber against flat, clean, white, sharp-edged surfaces. Finishing trims and beads are absent from the detailing here – the timber intersects with the white surfaces plainly and honestly – and a high level of workmanship was required to achieve the desired result.
主色调是双色的，油浸大卡巴的温暖抵消了哑白色表面的暗淡，同时，哑黑色的灯具与细木工制品一起强调了这个方案。简洁的色调提供了一种平静的感觉，为年轻家庭生活中有时混乱的日子提供了一个受欢迎的背景。
The main palette is two-tone, with the warmth of the oil-blonded macrocarpa off-setting the starkness of the matt-white surfaces, meanwhile matt-black light fittings work together with the joinery to accent the scheme. The simplicity of the palette provides a sense of calm which works as a welcome backdrop to the sometimes chaotic days of young family life.
