架构师提供的文本描述。澳大利亚最长的夯土墙-很可能是南半球-被选为西澳大利亚建筑奖(澳大利亚建筑师协会)的入围者。

Text description provided by the architects. The longest rammed earth wall in Australia and - probably - the southern hemisphere, has been selected as a finalist in the (Australian Institute of Architects) Western Australia architecture awards.

 Ground Floor Plan

在230米长，夯土墙蜿蜒沿沙丘边缘，并覆盖了12个土覆盖住宅，创建为提供短期住宿牛场在集合季节。他们的450毫米厚夯土正面和沙丘的后方和形成他们的屋顶，住宅有最好的热质量，使他们在亚热带气候自然凉爽。

At 230 metres long, the rammed earth wall meanders along the edge of a sand dune and encloses twelve earth covered residences, created to provide short-term accommodation for a cattle station during mustering season.   With their 450mm thick rammed earth facade and the sand dune to their rear and forming their roofs, the residences have the best thermal mass available, making them naturally cool in the subtropical climate.

夯实土墙(建筑)由富铁的砂土(这是场地的主要特征)、从邻近河流获得的砾石和(与)当地钻孔(孔)的水粘合而成。

The rammed earth wall (construction) is composed of the iron rich, sandy clay that is a dominant feature of the site, gravel obtained from the adjacent river and (bonded with) water from the local bore (hole).

该住所的设计代表了一种新的方法，以偏远的西北澳大利亚建筑，从太阳烤，薄波纹金属掩体，以自然冷却的建筑地球形成。(鼓掌)

The design of the accommodation represents a new approach to remote North Western Australia architecture, moving away from the sun baked, thin corrugated metal shelters to naturally cooled architectural earth formations.
