“树亭”为洛比塔尔郊区的一对退休夫妇提供了一个小家。该遗址是2000年中期创建的一个社区分区的一部分，其特色是几棵土生土长的细树皮树，每4条斜坡就有1/4的斜坡穿过这片土地。

The 'Tree Pavilions' provide a small home for a retired couple on the outskirts of Lobethal. The site is part of a community subdivision created in the mid 2000's, featuring several clusters of indigenous stringy bark trees and has a 1 in 4 slope across the property.

位于乡郊，北、西两面都是毗邻农田的滚滚牧场。

Being on the outskirts of the township, the views to the north and west are of the rolling pastures of the adjoining farmland.

房子的场地在现有的树皮树之间进行协调，只有一棵大松树(引进的树种)被移走，以适应展馆的布置。由于土地的坡度和尽量减少对场地的影响，住宅由两个相互垂直的独立展馆组成，悬挂在地面上。上层，主要入口是从通道，提供了生活区，而较低层适合睡觉和客人区的房子。

The site of the house was juggled between the existing stringy bark trees with only one large pine tree (introduced species) being removed to suit the pavilion arrangement. Due to the slope of the land and the desire to minimise the impact on the site, the residence is comprised of two independent pavilions perpendicular to each other suspended above the ground. The upper level, with the main entry being from the access roadway, provides the living area, whilst the lower level caters for sleeping and guest areas of the house.

到达现场的声音是由一个大的混凝土入口板发出的，从这一点开始，悬空的人行道被启动，提供了与房屋入口的连接。

Arrival to the site is pronounced with a large concrete entry slab from which point the suspended walkway is launched, providing the linkage to the entry of the house.

活动亭位于东西向，北侧全高玻璃，冬季最大限度地利用屋顶，为夏季的玻璃提供保护。

The living pavilion has been orientated along the east-west axis with full height glazing on the north side to maximise views and solar access in winter with the roof overhang providing protection to the glazing during summer.

较低的展馆定位在南北轴线上，似乎漂浮在上部结构的下方，唯一的连接是玻璃周边。这两个展馆主要由位于两个展台相交角处的四个长方形柱支撑。

The lower pavilion is orientated on the north-south axis and appears to float below the upper structure with the only connection being a glazed perimeter. Both pavilions are largely supported by four rectangular columns located at the intersecting corners of the two pavilions.

这所房子被固定在地面上，有一堵坚固的夯土墙，这是生活区的一个特色，还有木炭色的洗衣和入口处。

The house is anchored back to the earth with a robust rammed earth wall, which is a feature in the living area, and charcoal coloured laundry and entry ‘pod.’

这两个展馆，其充足的玻璃和轻的反射包层加强了结构的轻盈，因为他们漂浮在现场，而不是接地进入吊舱。

The two pavilions with their ample glazing and lightweight reflective cladding reinforce the lightness of the structure as they float across the site in contrast to the grounding entry pod.

被动的环境设计元素，包括双层玻璃，交叉通风的百叶窗，高度绝缘的外部皮肤和大屋顶悬垂，有助于展馆的可持续性。雨水从所有的屋顶收集起来，储存在地面上的大型水箱中，然后泵回房子里。一旦水箱溢出，多余的水就会“泡”到石溪河床上，流过现场。

Passive environmental design elements including double glazing, louvres for cross ventilation, a heavily insulated external skin and large roof overhangs assist in the sustainability of the pavilions. Stormwater is harvested from all the roofs, stored in large above ground tanks and pumped back into the house. In the event of the tanks overflowing, the excess water will 'bubble up' onto the stone creek bed and flow through the site.

由于场地的坡度，施工进入场地是困难的，在此基础上，选择结构钢为两层平台提供框架是合理的选择。这些平台和相关的钢铁厂是在通往车道的道路上竖立起来的，使建筑的其余部分得以完成。

Construction access to the site was difficult due to the slope of land and on this basis the selection of structural steel to provide the framework for the two platform levels was the logical choice. The platforms and the associated steelworks were erected from the access driveway, enabling the remainder of the construction to be completed.
