架构师提供的文本描述。这座房子是一个四口之家重建的选择，他们在2012年克赖斯特彻奇大地震中失去了之前在山谷深处的房子。该地点的挑战是长而窄的形状，以及位于洪泛区，但在既定的树木和有利的规划规则提供了许多好处。建筑的形式回应了这些场地的限制，环境因素和客户简介。

Text description provided by the architects. The house was the rebuild option for a family of four who lost their previous home further up the valley in the 2012 Christchurch earthquake. The site was challenging with a long and narrow shape as well as being situated in a floodplain, however offered many benefits in regards to established trees and favourable planning rules. The form of the building responds to these site restrictions, environmental factors and the clients brief.

一棵建在北部边界中心的枫树为太阳能设计原则提供了很好的选择-房子就是围绕着这棵树而建的。该建筑物偏离南部边界和相关的衰退平面。然后，该形状被从街道角度，给予更多的隐私，打开厨房和前甲板的夕阳。街道的高度也提供了很大的保护，以抵御盛行的东风。

A well-established maple tree in the middle of the site on the northern boundary offered good options for solar design principles - and the house works around that. The building cranks away from the southern boundary and associated recession plane. The form was then angled away from the street to give additional privacy and open up the kitchen and front deck to the setting summer sun. The street elevation also provides great protection from the prevailing easterly wind.

房子以一层楼的形式呈现在街道上，然而，在进入的时候，这座建筑在起居区域上会有一个双高的空间。厨房对东面和西面甲板区都开放。卧室在两层以上的房子后面。大的开口和头顶的窗户提供了巨大的自然光一整天。枫树在夏季调节过热，冬天没有叶子时，允许良好的低角度阳光照射。

The house presents itself to the street as a single level, however upon entry the building opens up to a double height space over the living area. The kitchen opens to both the east and west deck areas. Bedrooms occupy the rear of the house over two levels. Large openings and overhead windows provide great natural light throughout the day. The maple tree regulates overheating in summer, and allows good low angle sun when it has no leaves through winter.

外部材料调色板简单，混合黑色和白色的垂直雪松覆层，包裹在黑色纤维水泥板框架的街道。选择黑色金属长期屋顶作为未来PVL太阳能电池板的应用。背光聚碳酸酯墙将储存区屏蔽到车库。

The external material palette is simple, with a mix of black and white-washed vertical cedar cladding, wrapped in a black fibre cement sheet frame to the street. Black metal long-run roofing was chosen for future PVL solar panel application. A backlit polycarbonate wall screens a storage area to the carport.

在内部，回收木材地板从1900年代早期的仓库是一个特点，与蜡坚果棕色创造了一种真正的温暖和立即回家的感觉。

Internally, the recycled timber floor salvaged from an early 1900’s warehouse is a feature, with the waxed nutty brown creating a real sense of warmth and immediate homeliness.
