架构师提供的文本描述。在佩卡海滩上方的一座小山上，坐着三个简单的盒子，可以俯瞰卡皮提岛和内陆的松林种植园和农田。有两个被黑染的雪松盒子，用来建造一个遮蔽的庭院：一个盒子是专门用于生活的，另一个是用来睡觉的。第三个盒子，包着聚碳酸酯，里面有车库和车间：晚上从里面点燃它就会发光。综合起来，他们形成了一个紧凑的房子，设计为业主的主要住宅。

Text description provided by the architects. On top of a hill above Peka Peka Beach sit three simple boxes with expansive views across to Kapiti Island and inland towards pine forest plantation and agricultural farmland. There are two black-stained cedar boxes positioned to create a sheltered courtyard: one box is dedicated to living functions, the other to sleeping. The third box, clad in profiled polycarbonate, contains the garage and workshop: at night it glows when lit from within. Combined, they form a compact house designed as a primary residence for the owners.

这种设计是对景观和气候的反应，后者是常年生活在这样一个暴露的地方的一个特别重要的考虑因素。朝北的庭院受到海岸风的保护，但仍能透过客厅眺望大海。房屋周围铺满了木材，并根据当时的天气情况，提供了各种寻求庇护的方案。

The design is a response to both views and climate; the latter a particularly important consideration for year-round living in such an exposed location. The North-facing courtyard is protected from coastal winds, yet still enjoys views right through the living room towards the sea. Timber decking surrounds the house and provides a variety of scenarios to seek shelter depending on the prevailing weather conditions.

根据我们知识渊博的客户的要求，这所房子以光伏和太阳能热水板的组合以及以上标准绝缘的形式推广了一些生态价值。他们的长远目标是脱离电网。整个LED照明和暴露和绝缘混凝土板作为一个蓄热有助于减少电力消耗。自然通风带来下午一致的海风。

As requested by our knowledgeable clients, the house promotes some eco values in the form of a combination of PV and solar hot water panels and above code insulation. Their long-term ambition is to go off-grid. LED lighting throughout and exposed and insulated concrete slab as a heat store helps reduce power consumption. Natural ventilation picks up the consistent afternoon sea breezes.
