黑暗的外部调色板是完成了一层穿孔金属屏幕。这个可操作的层允许光/空气的调节和保护，无论是被占用还是单独使用。内部墙壁和地板是涂油橡木板，提供一个温暖的计数器，其坚固的外观。

The dark exterior palette is completed with a layer of perforated metal screens. This operable layer allows the moderation of light / air and protection both when occupied and alone. Internally walls and floors are clad with oiled oak boards that provide a warm counter to its robust exterior.

该方案提供了一对对称的卧室，随后围绕着一个中心居住空间展开。当局已小心限制建筑物的规模，并维持一种“平房”的感觉。这座建筑已脱离电网，由太阳能电池板独立的水收集和处理系统供电。

The programme provides for a pair of symmetrical bedrooms and ensuites set about a central living space. Care has been made to limit the scale of the building and maintain a sense of 'cottage'. The building is off the grid, powered by solar panels independent systems for water collection and treatment.
