架构师提供的文本描述。2004年，阿斯菲尔德建筑师被邀请到惠灵顿南边一个不寻常、裸露和崎岖的地方，讨论为哈丁家族设计一个家的问题。经过几年的相互了解，场地，季节，不同的方面，风和太阳的角度，一个房子的设计出现了一个简单的形式，蹲下山和长草。

Text description provided by the architects. In 2004 Athfield Architects were invited up to an extraordinary, exposed and rugged site on the southern edge of Wellington to discuss designing a home for the Harding family. After a few years of getting to know each other, the site, the seasons, the different aspects, winds and angles of sun, a house design emerged as a simple form hunkering down into the hill and long grass.

野营和共享户外生活的记忆转化成了一座坚固耐用的房子，上面有坚实而接地的基座和轻巧但坚硬的外壳。一个有着诚实悬垂的大遮挡屋顶，还有一个巨大的甲板，为人们提供了一个运动平台，以及独特的前景和天气，这些都提供了保护性和安全性的平衡，以及广阔而开放的暴露环境。

Memories of camping and shared open living translated into a robust and durable house with a solid and grounded base and light but tough sheathing above.  A big sheltering roof with honest overhangs, and a large deck creating a platform for movement and the prospect of exceptional outlook and weather, together provide a balance of protective and secure enclosure and vast and open exposure.

这座房子结构松散，空间重叠，多方面但又不同。它与地面、天空和太平洋直接相连。它能抵御来自北方和南方的大天气，从清晨到下午都有阳光。

The house is loosely structured and has overlapping spaces with multiple but distinct aspects.  It connects directly with both ground and sky, and with the Pacific Ocean.  It shelters against big weather from the north and the south and has sun from early morning until late afternoon.
