Text description provided by the architects. The clients are a childless couple, a director and camera operator in the film industry, their jobs involve them filming on location for stretches of time. This house is the space to which they retreat between filming.

该地块位于Kauaeranga河上的20公顷农田，名称相同，从山坡的高处延伸到河岸，包括一条山脊线，可以俯瞰下面的农田和山谷对面山坡上的原生灌木丛。

The site is 20 hectares of farmland on the Kauaeranga river in the valley of the same name, it stretches from high on the hillside to the river banks and includes a ridgeline which commands a panoramic view of the farmland below and the native bush on the opposite slopes of the valley.

我们的反应是把建筑的小质量集中起来，把它确定成一个奇异的几何图形，可以在大的景观中保持它自己的形状。我们把形状跨在山脊线上，与高端的斜坡交汇，当它掉下时，漂浮在陆地上。

Our response was to concentrate the small mass of building that the brief determined into a singular geometric form that could hold its own in the big landscape. We positioned the form straddling the ridgeline, engaged with the slope at the high end and floating above the land as it falls away.

从这个地区流行的生锈的瓦楞纸铁棚的方言中，我们用锈迹斑斑的波纹铁皮组成的雨幕包住了这个形状，这是一种乡村的伪装。

Drawing from the vernacular of rusty corrugated iron sheds prevalent in the district, we clad the form in a rainscreen of rusted corrugated iron sheets, a rural camouflage of sorts.
