架构师提供的文本描述。该遗址是卡皮提海前海岸沙丘的一部分。它包含了一个现存的1950年巴赫，在一个高架平台上，周围是密密的灌木丛。虽然它有一个单一的俯瞰卡皮提岛，它没有利用东部的景观，特别是不断变化的白卡里基山的灯光景观。此外，巴赫不能再接待在假日季节聚集在它上的几代家庭。在开发这一项目时，Atelier讲习班有几个优先事项。

Text description provided by the architects. The site is part of the coastal sand dunes of the extended Kapiti sea front. It contained an existing 1950's bach on an elevated platform surrounded by dense bush. Whilst it had a single view overlooking Kapiti Island it did not take advantage of the Eastern vistas, especially the spectacle of the ever-changing light of Paekakariki Hill. Additionally, the bach could no longer host the multiple generations of family that converge on it during holiday season. Atelierworkshop had several priorities when developing this project.

保持遗址不受挖掘的影响。保持成熟的树木边缘的建筑平台。设置周围灌木丛的前景视图。为了创造一个连续的体积，大家庭可以聚集，但同时也关闭在单独的‘空地’为隐私时刻。

To keep the site untouched from excavation. To retain the mature trees that border the edge of the building platform. To set up foreground views of the surrounding bush. To create a continuous volume in which the greater family could congregate yet also closes down into separate 'glades' for moments of privacy.

考虑到这些优先事项，BonnifaitGiesen创造了一个简单的面向北方的卷，它坐落在一个与前巴赫类似的高架平台上。“尼克斯”被从该计划的常规矩形形状中移除，以容纳那些长期以来一直帮助定义该遗址的成熟树木。一个封闭的阳台空间的目的有两个方面：第一，作为被动式太阳能集热器的主要室内生活空间的巴赫-一个传统的太阳房间的当代解释。第二，作为家庭聚会的一卷，反过来可能会关闭，为更安静的时间创造私人空间。这中间的空间也有助于建立一个中间地带之间的遥远的场景，卡皮提岛和主要的生活区。

With these priorities in mind Bonnifait+Giesen created a simple volume oriented to the North, which sits upon an elevated platform similar to that of the previous bach. 'Nicks' were removed from the regular rectangular shape of the plan to accommodate the mature trees that have helped define the site for so long. A enclosed verandah space was created which purpose was two fold: firstly, to act as a passive solar collector for the main indoor living space of the bach - a contemporary interpretation of the traditional sun room. Secondly as a volume for family congregation that, conversely may shut down to create private spaces for quieter times. This in between space also serves to set up a middle ground between the distant scene of Kapiti Island and the main living area.

原材料调色板的使用，创造了巴赫，谨慎地坐在灌木丛中，保留了隔离感的家庭在这个令人愉快的地方。

A raw palette of materials is used that create a bach that sits discreetly within the bush, retaining the sense of isolation for the family within this delightful site.
