架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑坐落在新西兰韦拉帕地区Martinborough镇一公顷的起伏草地上。作为该项目的一部分，400棵树被种植在一个与遗址边界平行的网格中，而这座40米x6米的房屋则呈角度，以跟随土地的温和起伏。“景观栅格”以甲板/车库和庭院的形式进入房屋，这些都是音量的标点符号。长方形朝向西北方向，最大限度地暴露在冬季下午的阳光下，因此，最好的被动太阳能获取。

Text description provided by the architects. The building sits on a one-hectare site of undulating grassland in the town of Martinborough in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand. As part of the project 400 trees were planted in a grid that parallels the site’s boundaries while the 40m x 6m house is angled to follow the gentle undulations of the land. The “landscape grid” enters into the house in the form of decks/garage and courtyards which punctuate the volume. The long façade faces northwest for maximum exposure to winter afternoon sun and, consequently, best passive solar-energy gains.
