这座房子位于怀卡纳埃，这是一个青翠的海边小镇，位于卡皮提海岸，距离新西兰首都惠灵顿北部45分钟。这是在怀卡纳埃的老海滩地区，许多房子都是从20世纪初开始建造的度假屋或“小吃店”。

The house is in Waikanae, a small verdant sea side town on the Kapiti Coast 45 minutes north of New Zealand’s capital city Wellington. It is in the old beach area of Waikanae where many of the houses are holiday homes or ‘baches’ built from the early 1900’s onwards.

这所房子是惠灵顿夫妇和他们三个孩子的度假胜地。这个地方是一条狭长的地带，坐落在一座通向海滩的高高的沙丘后面.这座房子被设计成一个“沙丘漏斗”，只有一个开放式的居住空间，坐落在卧室的顶部，眺望着远处的大海和卡皮提岛。这座房子参考了1950年代附近许多房屋使用的纤维板结构，颜色是从海边提取的。

This house is a holiday retreat for a Wellington couple and their 3 children. The site is a narrow strip, which sits behind a high fore-dune towards the beach. The house is designed as a ‘dune hopper’ with the single open-plan living space sitting on top of the bedrooms andpeers out to the sea and Kapiti Island beyond. The house references the fibrolite sheet construction used in many of the 1950’s houses nearby with colours drawn from the seaside location.
