基莫小屋独自矗立在新南威尔士州农村的贡达盖外的一座山上。它是基莫庄园的最新成员,基莫庄园是一个第二代的农场,已经多元化地举办了婚礼,并提供展示该地区自然美景的住宿。这是一个可以关闭的地方,从字面上看,是一个忘记现代生活干扰的地方。

The Kimo Hut stands alone on a hill outside Gundagai in rural New South Wales. It is the latest addition to Kimo Estate, a second generation farm which has diversified to host weddings and provide accommodation showcasing the areas natural beauty. It is a place to switch off, quite literally, and forget about the distractions of modern life.

考虑到小屋的 “生态 “理念和偏远的地理位置,可持续发展的澳大利亚硬木是明显的选择。材料需要易于采购,并由一个两人的业主-建筑团队在现场处理。

Sustainable Australian hardwoods were the obvious choice given the huts ‘eco’ brief and remote location. Materials needed to be easily sourced and handled on site by a two person owner-builder team.

小屋形式的灵感来自于经典的 “A “型框架帐篷,它同时提供了来自自然环境的庇护和联系。一个明确的硬木结构固定了建筑,界定了内部空间,并框定了周围农田的景色。木材是整个小屋的特点,手工制作的细节让人想起在该地发现的农业建筑的特点。

The huts form was inspired by a classic ‘A’ frame tent, which simultaneously provides both refuge from, and connection with, the natural environment. An expressed hardwood structure anchors the building, defining the interior spaces and framing views of the surrounding farmlands. Timber features throughout the hut, with hand crafted details recalling the character of agricultural buildings found on the property.
