克里斯-泰特为他的周末/个人度假/工作室设计了帐篷屋。这是一个实验性项目，旨在挑战人们对周末房屋的期望。 它并不小，但它很紧凑，很适合居住。 在不使用的时候，它被租出去做短期住宿和摄影。
Chris Tate designed The Tent House for his weekend / personal retreat / studio. It was an experimental project designed to challenge the expectations of what a weekend house may be. It is not tiny but it is compact and very liveable. When not in use it is rented out for short term accommodation and photo shoots.
这所房子包括70平方米的建筑面积，包括夹层睡眠区，由于复合角的存在，楼层空间受到影响。这里有一间卧室，一个浴室，一个功能齐全的厨房，其余的空间是开放式的，或者说是一个生活的画廊。
The house comprises of 70m2 of floor space including the mezzanine sleeping area, there is compromised floor space due to the compounding angles running to the point. There is one bedroom, one bathroom, a fully functioning kitchen with the rest of the space being open plan or some what of a gallery for the living.
前面的平台被设计成 “扇形”，给人以结构投下 “阴影 “的错觉。这座房子坐落在新西兰原生雨林的环境中，这里种植了数百种原生植物，以重现自然的原生森林景观，这样一来，许多原生鸟类都回来了。
The front deck has been designed to ‘fan out’ giving the illusion of a ‘shadow’ cast by the structure. The house is set in a New Zealand native rain forest setting where hundreds of native plants have been planted to recreate a natural native forest landscape, in doing so many of the native birds have returned.
克里斯尽可能多地建造了建筑，并让建筑系的学生帮助完成这一过程，所以这是一个非常注重实践的实验过程。 他们做了地基、地板和框架，并让专业人士接手服务和包层等。
这座帐篷屋已入围2017年柏林世界建筑节的候选名单。
Chris built as much of the building as he could and had architecture students help with the process, so it was a very much hands on experimental process. They did the foundations, floors, framing and had professionals take over with services and cladding etc.
The tent house has been shortlisted for the World Architecture Festival in Berlin 2017.
