架构师提供的文本描述。建筑师们参与了以前关于这座树木丰富的房产的项目，并受托设计了一座小型当代房屋，以补充现有的建筑集合-空间上围绕着现代解释的开普角韦尔夫(CapeWerf)。

Text description provided by the architects. The architects have been involved with previous projects on this tree-rich property, and were commissioned to design a small contemporary house to compliment the existing collection of buildings - spatially organised around a modern interpretation of the Cape Werf.

受庄园树木的启发，客户要求建造一间像树屋一样的小木屋，一间卧室。该结构位于森林般的花园之间的一小片空地上，并对周围树木的垂直度做出类似的反应，以便最大限度地从站点的最高部分看到景致。

Inspired by the trees on the estate, the client requested a cabin-like, one bedroomed hide-away resembling a tree house. The structure is located in a small clearing amongst forest-like gardens, and respond similarly to the verticality of the surrounding trees in order to maximise views from the highest portion of the site.

灵感来自Horace Gifford和Kengo Kuma的木屋，他们的概念是与空隙或中间空间一起工作，而Louis Kahn对纯粹形式的掌握和卡洛·斯卡帕的详细伦理为几何约束和手工制造提供了一个过程。

Inspiration was drawn from the timber cabins of Horace Gifford and Kengo Kuma’s notions of working with the void or in-between space, while Louis Kahn’s mastery of pure form and the detailing ethic of Carlo Scarpa informed a process of geometric restraint and handcrafted manufacturing.

 Structural Diagram

结构的组织结构图探索正方形的纯几何学，每方分为三个模块，其中两个模块决定正方形四面上一个圆的直径，从而形成一个销轮平面布局。

The organisational diagramme of the structure explores the pure geometry of a square, with each side divided into three modules and where two of these modules determine the diameter of a circle on each of the four sides of the square - resulting in a pin-wheel plan layout.

一个正方形是定向的，一个圆不是-正方形与南北场地的几何学有关，而四个圆则与有机和自然环境有关。每个圆圈的中心是一个柱子的位置，圆环，支撑上面的地板梁，用树枝状臂连接到柱子上。每个环限定了一个半圆空间，附属于该层的主广场居住空间。

A square is directional and a circle not - the square relates to the North/South site geometry and the four circles to the organic and natural surroundings. Each circle’s centre is the location for a column, and circular rings, supporting the floor beams above, are connected to the columns by means of branch-like arms. Each ring circumscribes a half-round space ancillary to the main square living space on that level.

这座建筑变成了一个垂直排列的“森林中的空地”，第一层有居住空间，第二层是卧室，第三层是屋顶甲板。厂房位于建筑物的地下。半圆的海湾容纳了一个露台，餐厅壁龛和楼梯在生活水平，一个浴室在卧室水平和一个内置的座位在屋顶甲板层-纯粹的几何结构提供了连接的空间。建筑物轻触地面，入口是通过悬挂木材和Corten钢坡道。

The building becomes a vertically arranged “clearing in the forest”, with living space on level one, a bedroom on level two and a roof deck on the third. A plant room is located at ground level below the building. The half round bays accommodate a patio, dining alcove and stair on the living level, a bathroom on the bedroom level and a built-in seat on the roof deck level - the pure geometries provide articulation to the spaces. The building lightly touches the ground, and entry is by means of a suspended timber and Corten steel ramp.

柱、臂和环由激光切割和折叠的Corten钢板构成，为了透明、细长和允许地板梁和窗户通过环的中心点，每个柱被分成四个“树干”。钢树支撑着木地板梁、正面玻璃和一个西方的红杉建筑围护结构。钢与木材之间的连接是用手工加工的黄铜部件来表示的.所有的材料都是未经处理的，当它们自然地与周围的树木一起天气时，就会表现出时间的流逝。

The columns, arms and rings are constructed from laser-cut and folded Corten steel plate, and each column is divided into four ‘trunks’ in the interest of transparency, slenderness and to allow floor beams and windows to pass through the centre points of the rings. The steel trees support timber floors beams, facade glazing and a western red cedar building envelope. The connections between steel and timber are expressed by means of hand-turned brass components. All materials are left untreated, and will express the passing of time as they weather naturally with the surrounding trees.
