架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目通过回答一个简单的问题-如何进入森林，如何利用生态的形式来建造一所房子-发展了建筑类型，即小工作日。

Text description provided by the architects. This project has evolved the building type, the small weekender, by answering a simple question—how does one go into a forest and use the forms of the ecology to build a house?

该项目是维多利亚中部高地的一个小木屋。客户是医生/学者，女儿上大学。简报包括客厅、小厨房、浴室和两间卧室。他们想要一个小森林小屋，在那里他们可以练习合唱。他们想要一个小的栖息地，把他们和森林里的隔离联系在一起，和鸟类的距离联系在一起。

The project is a small cabin in Victoria’s Central Highlands. The clients are medical practitioners/ academics with a daughter attending university. The brief included a living area, small kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. They asked for a small forest cabin in which they could practice choral singing. They desired a small habitat that connected them with the isolation one finds in a forest, and the closeness to the birdlife.

我们的做法是对在农田上发现的袋鼠和羊的漂白骨头感兴趣。在考虑这些骨头的时候，我们特别感兴趣的是增加额外载荷所需的接缝的加厚，以及如何在发现的木材中解释这些结构。这个想法发展成利用树叉或分叉作为舱室的结构。

Our practice was interested in the forms of bleached bones of kangaroos and sheep found lying around on farmland. When considering these bones, we were particularly interested in the thickening of the joints required to carry additional loads, and how these structures could be interpreted in found timber. This idea developed into utilising tree forks or bifurcations as the structure for the cabin.

分叉来源于森林和农田，由于它们的年龄，经验丰富。一位雕塑家把它们连在直柱子上，里面有金属板。有辐射梁的内柱完成了结构，完整的三角桁架体系具有很大的固有强度。

The bifurcations were sourced from forest floors and farmland, and, due to their age, were well seasoned. They were joined to straight columns with internal metal plates by a sculptor. An internal column with radiating beams completed the structure, the complete triangulated truss system attaining great inherent strength.

为了给新房子让路，人们把树皮从工地上移走了。一台移动式铣床被送到现场，内衬板被碾磨，现场固化，然后内部固定。客厅板的造型具有很大的特点，与森林生活的经验有关。它也导致了一个最小的碳足迹的采购和安装衬板。

Stringybark trees were removed from the site to make way for the new house. A mobile milling machine was delivered to site, and the lining boards were milled, cured on site, and then fixed internally. The figuration of the boards in the living room has great character, and relates to the experience of being in the forest. It also results in a minimal carbon footprint for the sourcing and installing of the lining boards.

该设计寻求实现与周围森林几乎透明的关系，通过生态形态转变为结构残余木材。它发展了澳大利亚小房子的类型学，把它与原始小屋的先例和土著建筑的传统混为一谈。

The design sought to achieve an almost transparent relationship with the surrounding forest, achieved through an eco-morphological transformation of remnant timber into structure. It developed the typology of the small Australian house, conflating it with the precedents of the primitive hut and the tradition of Aboriginal structures.
