我们都喜欢和朋友一起冒险，想象一下和一个由建造者和制造者组成的家庭的乐趣。当不是每个人都有房间的时候，每个人都在建造，而你搬进去的时候只有一个屋顶。这就是那种家；欢迎、不拘小节，但提示性和外向性；由内而外的精心打造。

We all love adventures with friends, imagine the fun with a family of builders and makers. Everyone builds when not everyone has a room, and you move in with only a roof. This is that kind of home; welcoming, informal, but prompting and outward-looking; crafted from the inside out.

羽毛之家坐落在俯瞰纳尔逊的高地上，介于城市和乡村、土地和空气之间。它的生活在一个走廊里，是公共的和蜿蜒的；是许多人或一个人的通道，扩大到外部的欢迎，编织到一个肥皂盒的阳台。有很多方法可以让人回家。一个有外部入口和温暖的混凝土墙的家，可以让你背对着它，找到中心并再次向外定位。

The Feather House rests high on a hill overlooking Nelson, somewhere between town and country, land and air. Its life in a corridor, communal and meandering; a pathway for many or one, widening for an external welcome and braiding to a soap-box balcony. There are many ways in for this is a place to come home. A home with an external entry and warm concrete wall to put your back on, find the center and orientate outwards again.

为了实现这个目标，房子拉长了，并在两端渐渐缩小，以打开外部空间并建立联系。它的材料是分层的，所以东西都是分阶段的；脱模的混凝土、细木工制品、家具、植物，甚至用铜尖制作了一个搭接的覆盖层，并在梯子上提升自己，以便在下面架设材料。

The house elongates and feathers to achieve this, tapering ends to open external space and make connections. It feathers materials as layers, so things come in stages; off-form concrete, joinery, furniture, plants, even crafting a lapped-cladding with copper tips and lifting itself on a ladder to allow material racking underneath.

这座房子不仅仅是关于 “现在 “的，而且是关于 “将来 “的。一个五口之家的两室一厅的房子，空间连接而不是分割，房间不会随着时间的流逝而被遗忘。因为建筑和生活一样，当它们发出邀请时，永远不会结束。冒险是有趣的，谢谢你邀请我们一起去。

This is a house not just about the ‘here-and-now’ but the ‘there-and-then’. A 2 bedroom house for a family of five, where spaces connect rather than divide and rooms don’t get left behind as time passes. For buildings, like life, are never finished when they offer an invitation. Adventures are fun, thanks for having us along.
