Text description provided by the architects. Sited in Auckland's inner city suburb of Parnell, the Nikau House is the first of a newly developed subdivision; the conception of private and responsive spaces for the client, a semi-retired couple was essential for conceived future conditions as well as ensuring that existing aspects of the site were acknowledged.

客户想要一种轻盈，通风的斯堪的纳维亚现代主义设计美学，在一所房子，可以很容易地容纳游客和家人时，他们来住。面临的挑战在于如何在严密的城市环境下创造创新设计，同时仍能在一个小场地上提供隐私、舒适性和室内和室外空间的质量。一个关键的考虑因素是提供充足的墙壁空间，展示这对夫妇的艺术收藏，并提供特色书架，以存放他们的书籍。

The clients wanted a light, airy Scandinavian modernist design aesthetic in a house that could easily accommodate visitors and family when they come to stay. The challenge lay in creating an innovative design within a tight urban context whilst still providing privacy, amenity and quality of indoor and outdoor space on a small site. A key consideration was providing ample wall space to display the couple's art collection and feature shelving to store their books.

该建筑与遗址的自然轮廓相结合，向西创造了高度空间，并允许图书馆的高架子墙。考虑放置窗框，可以看到郁郁葱葱的灌木丛沟壑，现有的尼考棕榈树和怀特马塔港的北面。锌斑纹梯形屋顶环绕着这座建筑，形成了东方墙-再加上板条的外部木幕，为未来的发展提供了更多的隐私。

The building steps with the site's natural contour, creating over height spaces to the West, and allowing for the library's tall shelving wall. Considered placement of windows frame the views to the lush green bush gully, existing Nikau palms and the Waitemata Harbour to the North. The Zincalume trapezoidal roofing wraps around the structure to form the Eastern wall - combined with slatted exterior timber screens to provide further privacy from future developments.

在花园和太阳能水系统、热质量和交叉通风空间中展示了可持续设计的内在方法。木材板内部是用来创造一个地板，呼吸，这与内部木材百叶窗在上层卧室创造对流气流，以被动加热和冷却住宅。板屏也起到遮阳装置的作用，有助于调节内部温度-在阳光照射的室内空间中投射阴影的模式。

An intrinsic approach to sustainable design is demonstrated in the garden and solar water systems, thermal mass and cross-ventilated spaces. Timber decking is used internally to create a floor that breathes, this combined with internal timber louvers in the upper level bedrooms creates convection airflow to passively heat and cool the home. The slatted screens also act as shading devices, helping to regulate the internal temperatures - casting patterns of shadow on the sunlit interior spaces.
