架构师提供的文本描述。实际情况是Hawea湖房屋正式安排的驱动因素。会议决定，整体形状应是低单数形式，掩埋在景观中，正式回应其所处的直接环境。庭院的类型使建筑物能够解决连续的围护和保护不受元素的影响。然后，这座房子的规划就可以通过内部庭院和外部景观进行协商。单一形式与简单材料的思想，推动了建筑材料和形式质量的早期设计过程。

Text description provided by the architects. The physical context was the driver of the formal arrangement of the house in Lake Hawea. It was decided that the overall shape should be a low singular form bunkered in the landscape that responds formally to the immediate context within which it is placed. The courtyard type allowed the building to address continuous enclosure and protection from the elements. The plan of the house was then able to negotiate both the interior courtyard and the exterior landscape. The idea of singular forms clad with simple materials, drove the material and formal qualities of the building early on in the design process.

空间之间的关系受到交错楼板与屋顶形式相应位移之间的位移的调节。立面的一个关键设计要素是立柱。基座表示为环绕建筑物的较低凹面墙，将质量与地面连接起来，并充当孔的组织工具。桥墩和屋顶形式的两种相互竞争的策略使我们能够系统地处理房屋与土地之间的关系。

The relationship of spaces became regulated by shifts between the staggered floor plates and corresponding shifts in the roof form. A key design element of the facade was the plinth. The plinth is expressed as lower recessed wall wrapping around the building connecting the mass to the ground and acting as an organisational tool for apertures. The two competing strategies of the plinth and the roof form enable a systematic approach with which the house is able to articulate the relationship of form to land.

我们受到新西兰建筑历史和演变的影响，因为我们的建筑景观多种多样，这座建筑符合一系列历史先例，包括阿罗敦和奥塔戈中部早期定居者建筑的语言，这些建筑利用低矮的石质建筑来处理极端环境。瓦纳卡最初的百格里酒酿酒厂等建筑也采用石砌和长山墙作为抵抗环境的一种形式。

We are influenced by the history and evolution of New Zealand architecture given our diverse landscapes The building responds to a series of historical precedents, including the language of the early settler buildings in Arrowtown and central Otago that utilize low slung, stone construction to deal with the extreme environment. Buildings such as the original Peregrine winery in Wanaka also used stone construction and long gables as a form of resistance to the environment.

建筑设计正是通过对乡土建筑形态和物质性的当代解读而发展起来的。特别是，使用砖块作为一种材料，在形式的发展及其在景观中的地位方面，很早就成了当务之急。砖块的使用创造了一个与现场的具体关系，并将其牢固地固定在地面上，同时还有一个纹理调色板，允许对尺度不断变化的解释。

It is through a contemporary interpretation of vernacular building form and materiality that the building design developed. In particular, the use of brick as a material became an early imperative in terms the development of the form and its place in the landscape. The use of brick created a concrete relationship with the site, and anchored it firmly to the ground, along with a textural palette that allowed for a constantly shifting interpretation of scale.
