这座房子位于惠灵顿的一个大型新郊区，在一个细长的场地上，位于公路和一个种植的山谷保护区之间，其中有波里鲁阿溪的雏形。整个郊区主要由Kitset和建筑公司的住房组成，以奶油色、米色和灰色为主色调，等待植物生长到足够高时再进行软化。
The house is located in a large new suburban subdivision in Wellington, on a long and slender site located between the road and a planted valley reserve containing the beginnings of the Porirua Stream. The overall subdivision consists of mainly kitset and building company housing, finished in shades of cream, beige and grey, waiting until planting grows tall enough to soften it.
长屋计划对当地的景观、场地和天气条件做出了仔细的回应。在购买和建造之前，我们花时间与业主在现场讨论了不同的可能性。
The Long House plan responds carefully to the local landscape, site and weather conditions. Prior to purchase and construction, time was spent on site with the owner discussing the different possibilities.
房子西边的山谷是保留地，已经大量种植了植物，这些植物将继续生长，为山谷提供美丽的绿色前景。这座房子与附近大多数体积较大的两层楼房不同，它更多地与土地的形式相关，长、低、细，颜色和材料的选择都与当地的自然环境有关。长长的水平线和精细的分层垂直线强化了这一点。
The valley to the west of the house is reserve land and has been substantially planted, which will continue to grow and provide a beautiful green outlook into the valley. The house takes a different approach to most of the bulkier 2 storied houses nearby, where it is more related to the forms of the land, being long, low and slender, with colours and materials selected to relate to the local natural environment. Long horizontal lines and fine layered verticals reinforce this.
纤细的规划允许光线从两侧进入空间，场地的长轴略微偏西偏北，这为房屋中间部分的上午和下午的室内和室外生活区提供了方向，使居住者能够全天跟随太阳。
The slender plan allows light into spaces from both sides and the long axis of the site is orientated slightly west of north, which sets the plan up for morning and afternoon indoor and outdoor living areas facing both east and west in the middle section of the house, allowing occupants to follow the sun throughout the day.
盛行的风从西北方向被山丘引导下来，使得东面的晨曦庭院成为一个舒适且使用良好的空间，它靠近厨房，可以通过房子看到西面的风景。在更加暴露的西侧，院子被一个环绕的玻璃屏风和有盖的部分玻璃屋顶所遮挡，在寒冷的冬季更多的被用作室外。车库和服务区位于平面图的南端，卧室位于北面。
The prevailing wind is channelled down by the hills from the northwest making the sheltered east facing morning courtyard a comfortable and well used space, being close to the kitchen with views through the house to the west. On the more exposed west side the courtyard is sheltered by a wrap-around glazed screen and covered partly glazed roof, more used as an outside in the cooler winter months. Garage and service areas are located at the south end of the plan with bedrooms to the north.
这是一个单层的带书房的2个卧室的退休住宅，楼层的微妙变化响应了场地的轮廓。业主以前住在1070年代Gordon Moller设计的房子里，使用了天然木材和红褐色的调色板，这些都被带入了新房子。
This is a single storey 2 bedroom retirement home with study, with subtle changes in floor level responding to the site contours. The owners had previously lived in a 1070’s Gordon Moller designed home, which used a palette of natural timbers and red-brown colours, which have been brought into the new house.
除了混凝土板和金属屋顶外，房子主要使用了低碳足迹的材料。结构主要由木材制成，极少使用钢材。外部覆层是西部红柏，内部装饰是桉树Saligna，天花板是奥库姆胶合板。 墙的厚度为140毫米，以保证R4的保温效果，天花板是双层的R5保温层。窗户采用低辐射玻璃，混凝土板下面和周边都有保温层。它被设计成一个散热器，在白天收集和储存热量，在晚上释放热量。
The house built predominantly using materials with low carbon footprints, apart from the concrete slab and metal roofing. The structure is made of mostly timber, with minimal steel. Exterior cladding is Western Red Cedar, interior trims Eucalyptus Saligna and ceilings Okoume plywood. Walls are 140mm thick to allow R4 insulation, and the ceilings are double layered with R5 insulation. Windows have Low E glass and the concrete slab is insulated underneath and with perimeter insulation. It is designed to operate as a heat sink, collecting and storing heat during the day and releasing it in the evening.
屋顶形式的安排是为了让早晨的阳光照射进来，并提供具有灵活性的外部区域以适应不同的天气条件。屋檐的形状和大小是为了调和全年的北方和西方的阳光。细长的设计允许自然交叉通风和冷却。暖气是通过一个板式水力热泵供电系统。
The roof form is arranged to allow morning sun in and offer outside areas with flexibility to suit different weather conditions. Eaves are shaped and sized to mediate the north and west sunlight throughout the year. The long slender plan allows for generous natural cross ventilation and cooling. Heating is via an in-slab hydronic heat pump powered system.
