Eucalyptus II是由Hugh Strange Architects设计的位于英国伦敦的极简工作室空间。该项目位于一棵大桉树下，为长长的花园尽头的绘画提供了一个小工作室。摄影棚非常靠近树木，因此设计基础是为了最大程度地减少对根的影响。六个小钢桩支撑着一个钢架，该钢架略高于地面，这意味着地面工程不需要挖掘或混凝土。
建筑物上方是木质结构，有两根螺柱墙，地板托梁覆盖着木材，而其他墙壁和屋顶则由裸露的道格拉斯冷杉（Douglas Fir）框架形成。雨水是从屋顶收集的，并被引导至工作室下方的地面以提供根源，以补偿建筑物的占地面积。通过滑动门打开该空间，该空间靠近树，该滑动门打开以露出位于中心的木柱。内部，一端有绘画桌，另一侧有储物和刷洗区，树木与内部的亲密感是内部空间的特征。
Eucalyptus II is a minimal studio space located in London, United Kingdom, designed by Hugh Strange Architects. Nestled beneath a large Eucalyptus tree, the project provides a small studio space for painting at the end of a long garden. The studio is in very close proximity to the tree, and so the foundations are designed in order to minimize impact on the roots. Six small steel piles support a steel frame lifted slightly above the earth, mean no digging or concrete were required to the ground works.
Above this the building has a wooden structure, with two stud wall and the floor joists clad in timber, while the other walls and roof are formed in an exposed Douglas Fir frame. The rainwater is collected from the roof and channelled to the ground beneath the studio to supply the roots, compensating for the building’s footprint. The space is entered adjacent to the tree, through sliding doors that open to reveal the centrally located timber column. Inside, with painting desk at one end, and storage and brush washing area at the other, the closeness of the tree to the interior characterizes the internal space.
