架构师提供的文本描述。凯瓦卡附近有两座房屋。每一张都略大于四张胶合板。它们是用木头制成的，是脱离网格的，而且是自主的，它们的外侧被烧成黑色。这个项目部分是争论，一部分是逃避。度假屋已成为这个国家的颓废。

Text description provided by the architects. Eyrie comprises two houses near Kaiwaka. Each is barely larger than four sheets of plywood. They are made from wood, are off-grid and autonomous, their outsides burnt black. This project is part polemic, part escape. Holiday homes have become this country’s decadence.

我们的次优河口遗址允许建造一座1500平方米的宫殿。它禁止两个29平方米的小木屋。晚上，我们兴奋地谈论着马列维奇的超级主义；早上，我们站起来，写了关于视觉密度和车道磨损的法律意见书。我们希望对新西兰沿海的未来有不同的看法。

Our sub-prime estuarine site permitted a 1500m² palace. It forbade two 29m² cabins. At night we talked excitedly about Malevich’s Suprematism; in the morning we got up and wrote legal submissions on visual density and the attrition of driveways. We wanted a different vision for New Zealand’s coastal future.

在这些房子里，棱镜般的抽象历史与在草海中摇曳的小船的诗意混为一谈。没有门。一个爬上巨石，然后从窗户进去。我们希望，在颠覆建造这些小建筑的速记语言的过程中，这些小建筑可能会让人感觉不是房子，而是更多的房屋。

In these houses a history of prismatic abstraction is conflated with a poetic of small boats bobbing in a sea of grass. There are no doors. One climbs up boulders and in through a window instead. We hoped that in subverting the shorthand language of building these little constructions might feel like something other than – and more than – houses.
