架构师提供的文本描述。位于五英亩茂密的奥伊亚森林，这座浇铸的混凝土房子框架室内外居住空间，以及森林，天空，和夏威夷的大岛海岸线。它继续我们探索一种简化的建筑，以提高在这种引人注目的环境中生活的经验。

Text description provided by the architects. Located on five acres of dense Ohia forest, this cast-in-place concrete house frames indoor and outdoor living spaces along with views of the forest, the sky, and the coastline on Hawaii’s Big Island. It continues our exploration of a reductive architecture that enhances the experience of living in this compelling environment.

房子的主要特点是混凝土梁，140英尺长，48英寸高x 12英寸宽，与建筑物的长度，只有三个短混凝土墙支撑其大跨度。叠层梁和木板构成了悬挂在它下面的屋顶。混凝土梁允许不间断的玻璃和覆盖的室外空间的相当大的跨度，这创造了一个可渗透的边缘之间的人造和自然。这些巨大的开放，放大了生活在奥伊亚森林的感觉。

The main feature of the house is a concrete beam, 140 foot long, 48 inch tall x 12 inch wide running the length of the building with only three short concrete walls supporting it along its massive span. Laminated beams and wood planks make up the roof that hangs below it. The concrete beam allows for sizable spans of uninterrupted glass and covered outdoor space, which creates a permeable edge between the man-made and nature. These huge expanses of openness amplify the sensation of living in the Ohia forest.

橡树是夏威夷特有的。它们是第一批在新熔岩流中生长的树木。LavaFlow 7位于基拉韦厄火山口山坡上的1955年熔岩流上。奥伊亚的明亮的红花，名叫莱华，与红润的绿叶和树皮的灰色和黑色的熔岩形成了鲜明的对比。和奥伊亚一样，灰色的混凝土房子融入了现有的熔岩和树木景观中，而房子里的颜色则模仿了莱华河。

Ohia trees are endemic to Hawaii. They are the first trees to grow on new lava flows. Lavaflow 7 sits on a 1955 lava flow on the slopes of Kilauea crater. The Ohia’s brilliant red flower, called the Lehua, are a striking contrast to the ruddy green leaves and shades of gray of the tree’s bark and the black lava. Like the Ohia, the gray concrete house blends into the existing landscape of lava and trees while splashes of color in the house mimic the Lehua.

房子的性质又长又薄，私人和公共区域由一个拉奈和一个圈池分开。房子的稀薄通过交叉通风提供被动冷却，可以消除机械空调，使房间的光质量保持一致和分散，从每个房间都可以看到森林、天空和海洋。其他可持续的特点包括一个雨水集水系统，该系统提供所有使用的水，同时还为家用热水提供太阳能加热系统。一个松散的空间分布在少数几个实心墙周围，创造了一座同样开放的四面八方的房子，欢迎大自然进入。

The nature of the house is long and thin, with private and public areas divided by a lanai and bisected by a lap pool. The thinness of the house provides passive cooling through cross ventilation allowing for the elimination of mechanical air conditioning, consistent and diffused light quality in the rooms through out the day, and a view of the forest, sky, and ocean from every room. Other sustainable features include a rainwater catchment system that supplies all water used along with a solar heating system for domestic hot water. A loose distribution of spaces around the few solid walls creates a house that is equally open in all directions and welcomes nature in.
