由沃伦和马霍尼设计的弗洛克希尔庄园位于群山的两侧，依偎在石灰石岩层中，隔着皮尔逊湖可以看到完美对称的糖块山。宅院在景观中单独的一个山谷中升高，在36,000英亩的高地站中定居。羊群山站本身的名字就来源于这些岩层。我们的设计通过采用由嵌入景观中的厚重砖石元素组成的建筑，来赞美和参考景观中的早期居住情况。

Flanked by mountains, nestled into limestone rock formations, and looking across Lake Pearson to a perfectly symmetrical view of Sugarloaf Mountain is Flockhill Homestead, designed by Warren and Mahoney. Elevated within a valley alone in the landscape, the Homestead is settled within 36,000 acres on a high-country station. Flock Hill Station itself derives its name from these rock formations. Our design celebrates and references the early habitation of the landscape by adopting an architecture that consists of heavy masonry elements embedded in the landscape.

弗洛克山站周围地区最引人注目和可识别的特征是著名的石灰石岩层突起的景观 – 被命名为城堡山。对于Ngāi Tahu来说，这里是前往西海岸旅程的一个重要中转站，也是一个季节性的食物采集地。大量的岩石悬崖被用来作为庇护所。在一个充满故事的地方工作的特权并没有消失；项目组采取了 “艺术与科学相结合的方法”。

The most striking and recognizable feature of the area around Flock Hill Station is the famous limestone rock formations jutting out of the landscape – named Castle Hill. For Ngāi Tahu, it was an important stopover point on journeys to the West Coast, and a seasonal food-gathering place. The numerous rock overhangs were used for shelter. The privilege of working on a site steeped in storytelling was not lost; with the project team adopting an ‘arts meets science approach.

“我们有这个令人难以置信的历史，这个地方以前是如何居住的–几百年前–以及与高山环境有关的环境考虑。我们希望创造出一种能够提供安全感并从山地元素中撤退的东西，同时又能完全沉浸在戏剧性的景观中，”项目负责人Jonathan Coote说。

“We had this incredible history of how the site had been inhabited previously – hundreds of years ago – alongside the environmental considerations associated with an alpine environment. We wanted to create something that could provide a sense of safety and retreat from the mountainous elements while still feeling fully immersed in the dramatic landscape,” says project principal Jonathan Coote.

家园的设计采用了与嵌入景观中的重型砖石元素相一致的架构。我们的方法是将重量与基础相结合，辅以高耸的格子结构的木质屋顶，漂浮在沉重的砖石元素之上。”简单的斜屋顶形式参考了该地区的农业用途，以及点缀在当地景观中的功利但美丽的农场结构和大棚。它在外部给了建筑一种轻盈和联系的感觉，在内部给了建筑一种质感和温暖。它还增强了对石灰石元素 “重量 “的体验。

The design for the Homestead adopts an architecture consistent with heavy masonry elements embedded into the landscape. Our approach combines weight to the base, complemented by a soaring lattice structured timber roof that floats above the heavy masonry elements. “The simple pitched roof form is a reference to the agricultural use of the area and the utilitarian but beautiful farm structures and sheds that dot the local landscape. It gives the building a sense of lightness and connection externally and texture and warmth internally. It also enhances the experience of the ‘weight’ of the limestone elements.

住宅的设计是为了以一种流动的方式使用，在内部和外部空间之间有一个几乎连续的联系。它包括一个简单的坡屋顶亭子，中间是生活区，两边是客人的住所。所有的空间都被安排在一个单一的直线条上，确保皮尔逊湖和糖块的景色不会丢失。

The homestead is designed to be used in a fluid way, with an almost continuous connection between internal and external spaces. It comprises a simply pitched roof pavilion with central living areas and guest quarters on both sides. All spaces are arranged in a single linear strip, ensuring the views over Lake Pearson and Sugar Loaf beyond are never lost.

在内部，材料调色板是有意克制的–只有细长层的有色混凝土、石灰石地板和木材被用来框住壮观的景色。该物业由安德鲁和桑德拉-库伦管理，他们在豪华住宿方面有着丰富的经验。”家园 “位于一个山谷中，独自俯瞰着南阿尔卑斯山的风景。它坐落在36,000英亩的高山上，是那些享受轻松舒适但又有冒险精神的人的终极游乐场”，Cullen说。

Internally, the material palette is intentionally restrained – with only tinted concrete cast in slim layers, limestone flooring, and timber used to frame the spectacular views. The property is managed by Andrew and Sandra Cullen who are vastly experienced in luxury accommodation. “The Homestead is elevated within a valley alone in the landscape overseeing life in the Southern Alps. Settled within 36,000 acres on a high-country station, it is the ultimate playground for those who enjoy relaxed comfort but have an adventurous spirit”, says Cullen.

“Flockhill因其宏伟的财产而激发了冒险和探索。能够分享我们对周围环境的热情，并在车站内为客人提供冒险，在这里，空间由你来拥抱，这是我们所期待的。被达赖喇嘛称为 “宇宙的精神中心 “的地区所产生的振动是神圣的，不仅仅是对山上的羊群而言，我们的名字就是由此而来的。

“Flockhill inspires adventure and exploration due to the magnificence of the property. Being able to share our passion for our surroundings and offering guests adventures within the station, where space is yours to embrace, is something we look forward to. The vibrations from the area which the Dalai Lama called ‘the spiritual center of the universe is sacred, not just to the sheep flocks on the hills from hence we got our name.”
