架构师提供的文本描述。伍德兰是一个小型住宅社区，坐落在离得克萨斯州奥斯汀市中心仅几分钟路程的一个大树林之间。该项目最初由四栋房屋组成，但由于场地的一般条件和限制，很快就变得复杂起来。不寻常的房地产线，陡峭的悬崖，以及大量的老树挤压了该项目的可建区域。这反过来又提出了隐私和视图方面的关切，因为每栋房子都与周围的树木非常接近，而且彼此之间也是如此。除了这些问题之外，还必须克服前业主的违规行为。

Text description provided by the architects. Woodland is a small residential community nestled among a grove of large trees in a neighborhood that is just minutes outside of downtown Austin, Texas. The development started with a simple program of four houses, but quickly became complex through the site’s general conditions and restrictions. Unusual property lines, a steep bluff, and an abundance of old-growth trees squeezed the buildable area for the project. This, in turn, presented privacy and view concerns given the close proximity of each house to the surrounding trees, as well as one other. Along with these issues, permitting violations from a previous owner had to be overcome.

Derrington BuildingStudio没有认为这些挑战是有问题的，而是选择接受这些问题，并允许限制因素影响设计。结果产生了一种独特的体验，既提供了充足的空间，也为每一个住所提供了一种隐私感，同时在树木和树根之间穿行。窗户被精心布置，以最大限度地利用间接光线和周围绿色植物的景观，同时也尽量减少不那么理想的视线。

Rather than seeing these challenges as problematic, Derrington Building Studio chose to embrace the issues and allowed the constraints to influence the design.  The result produced a unique experience that provides both ample space, and a sense of privacy for each dwelling, while weaving between the trees and their roots.  The windows were carefully placed to maximize indirect light and views of the surrounding greenery, while also minimizing less desirable lines of sight.

该项目的材料调色板是根据简单的审美和经济和耐用性的欣赏选择的。高的，预先制造的窗户被安排在垂直带在每个住宅内，以强调每个空间的高度和捕捉框架的看法。白色的石膏墙坐落在一座裸露的混凝土挡土墙上，将一栋房屋的腰部深浸没到工地深处，创造了一种新颖的隐私感。这一设计选择也防止了住宅成为一座耸立在景观之上的宏伟建筑。白色水泥板的外部高地旨在为该地区的有机和无拘无束的植被提供一个干净的背景。这一开发形成了一个统一而耐人寻味的住宅社区，为周围的树木创造了一个背景，同时也利用它们为繁忙的城市生活提供了一个树木茂密的休憩地。

The material palette for the project was selected based on a simple aesthetic and an appreciation of economy and durability. Tall, pre-manufactured windows are arranged in vertical bands within each dwelling to accentuate the height of each space and capture framed views.  White-painted gypsum walls sit atop an exposed concrete retaining wall that submerges one house waist-deep into the site, creating a novel sense of privacy.  This design choice also prevents the home from becoming an imposing structure which looms over the landscape. The white cement board exterior elevations are intended to be a clean backdrop to the organic and unrestrained vegetation on the site.  The development forms a unified and intriguing community of dwellings that create a backdrop for the surrounding trees, while also utilizing them to offer a wooded reprieve from a busy city life.
