一座建在山顶上的离网房屋，需要与野外天气作斗争。用坚固的材料建造，旨在尽量减少浪费，并持续很长时间。
An off grid house built on top of a hill that needed to battle the wild weather. Built with rugged materials, and designed to minimize waste and last a long time.
唯一的通道是沿着一条旧的轨道，用良好的四轮驱动。当地的一个土方工程队花了三个月的时间来准备道路，以便混凝土卡车能够开上去。即使道路完工后，卡车也只能在只装载一半货物的情况下才能通行。
The only access was up an old track with a good 4×4. A local earthworks team spent three months preparing the road so concrete trucks would make it up. Even when the road was finished the trucks could only make it if they were only carrying half loads.
房子是用钢、混凝土、玻璃和胶合板设计的，这些坚固的材料在丛林火灾多发地区可以持续使用，并且很安全。在建造过程中，材料相当容易获得。自从Covid之后，材料的来源难了很多，我听说钢材的价格几乎翻了一番。
The house was designed with steel, concrete, glass and plywood. strong materials that would last and be safe in a bushfire prone area. During the build materials were quite easy to get. Since Covid, materials are a lot harder to source and I have heard steel has almost doubled in price.
一个玻璃箱，以利用景观和太阳增益的优势。卧室在房子的后面，可以作为一个掩体，免受天气影响。
