Dart 轻巧地坐落在一个过去的围场的角落里,由两个狭窄的侧翼组成,一个是居住区,另一个是卧室,由一个三角形的屋顶连接。这两座建筑之间有一个大阳台,可以遮挡海风的吹拂。这提供了一个向阳光和风景开放的大型户外生活空间,或一个慷慨的庇护所,使房子在Te Tai Tokerau大雨中保持开放。

Settled lightly in the corner of an erstwhile paddock, the Dart is formed by two narrow wings, one housing the living areas, the other housing bedrooms, connected by a triangular roof. The two blocks shelter a large verandah stretched between them from the ocean winds. This provides a large outdoor living space open to the sun and view, or a generous shelter allowing the house to stay open through a Te Tai Tokerau downpour.

屋顶坡度与地面坡度一致,静静地向后面的旺格雷头顶点头示意。Dart的面积为86平方米,有三间卧室,材料的使用很轻。房子的生活区的方向是为了捕捉早晨的阳光,而阳台则为来自北方和西方的强烈夏日阳光提供了遮蔽。房子可以从不同的方向打开,在任何天气下都可以通风,甚至在大雨中。

The roof slope follows the ground slope, quietly nodding to the Whangarei Heads behind. At 86m2 with three bedrooms, the material use in the Dart is light. The living areas of the house are oriented to capture the morning sun, while the verandah provides shade from the strong summer sun from the north and west. The house can be opened in various directions allowing for ventilation in all weathers, even in a downpour.

最小的土方工程允许在起居室旁边创建一个房间大小的平坦草坪。结构跨度采用层压木材框架,在木杆之间,保持低碳足迹。覆盖层的木材是奥特亚罗亚种植的Macrocarpa。外墙是140毫米厚,允许更多的绝缘。房子自己收集水,废水经处理后分配给下面的果园。

Minimal earthworks allow for the creation of a room-sized flat lawn adjacent to the living wing. The structural spans are managed with laminated timber framing, between timber poles keeping the carbon footprint low. Cladding timber is Aotearoa grown Macrocarpa. Exterior walls are 140mm thick, allowing for more insulation. The house collects its own water and wastewater is treated and distributed to the orchard below.
