客户是一对没有孩子的夫妇，他们是电影业的导演和摄像师，他们的工作需要他们长时间在现场拍摄。这座房子是他们在拍摄间隙退缩的空间。
场地是Kauaeranga河上的20公顷农田，位于同名的山谷中，它从山坡上延伸到河岸，包括一条山脊线，可以看到下面的农田和山谷对面山坡上的本地灌木丛。
The clients are a childless couple, a director and camera operator in the film industry, their jobs involve them filming on location for stretches of time. This house is the space to which they retreat between filming.
The site is 20 hectares of farmland on the Kauaeranga river in the valley of the same name, it stretches from high on the hillside to the river banks and includes a ridgeline which commands a panoramic view of the farmland below and the native bush on the opposite slopes of the valley.
客户的要求是以电影和实际的方式来回应，他们在这片土地上过着自给自足的生活，包括种植、动物饲养和屠宰。
客户谈到了具有岁月痕迹的材料、可持续性、回收和适应性再利用以及材料的来源。
The clients brief called for a response which engaged with the site in both a filmic as well as practical way, they live a life of self-sufficiency while on the land, including growing, animal husbandry and butchery.
The clients spoke of materials that have a patina of age, of sustainability, of recycling and adaptive re-use, of provenance of materials.
我们的回应是，将方案中确定的少量建筑集中到一个单一的几何形状中，以便在大景观中保持自己的地位。我们将其定位在山脊线上，在高处与山坡接触，当山坡下降时漂浮在土地之上。
我们从该地区普遍存在的生锈的波纹铁棚中汲取灵感，用生锈的波纹铁板作为雨幕，为该建筑披上了某种乡村伪装。
Our response was to concentrate the small mass of building that the brief determined into a singular geometric form that could hold its own in the big landscape. We positioned the form straddling the ridgeline, engaged with the slope at the high end and floating above the land as it falls away.
Drawing from the vernacular of rusty corrugated iron sheds prevalent in the district, we clad the form in a rainscreen of rusted corrugated iron sheets, a rural camouflage of sorts.
该建筑主要由客户在建设期间采购的回收材料和配件制成。
The building is made largely of recycled materials and fittings, which the clients procured over the duration of the build.
