架构师提供的文本描述。这片土地是霍克斯湾平原上一块4x3米网格上的苹果园的一部分。对该属性的长访问路由提供了与所有相邻属性隔离的感觉。

Text description provided by the architects. The site is part of an apple tree orchard laid in rows on a 4x3m grid on the plains of Hawkes Bay. A long access route to the property provides a sense of isolation from all neighboring properties.

 Section & Floor Plan

东侧的一个缓坡通向Tukituki河的河岸，这个方向也进入了通往现有的JohnScott房子的小巷。在树木的水平上有广泛的看法

A gentle slope on the eastern side leads down to the riverbank of the Tukituki River, this orientation also takes in the lane that leads to the existing John Scott house. Above the level of the trees there are extensive views-to Te Mata peak, the valley of the Tukituki river and the distant Tararua ranges.

我们的目的是把新房子插入果园，从而提供一种与世隔绝的感觉，与现有的房子，并给人一种被嵌套在苹果园内的感觉。我们的目标是将这种感觉与俯瞰树木的感觉进行对比，提供坐在树冠上的空间，并吸收霍克斯湾特有的更大的景观。

Our aim was to insert the new house into the orchard thereby providing a sense of isolation from the existing house and giving the feeling of being nestled within the apple orchard. We aimed to contrast this sensation with the feeling of looking over the trees, providing spaces that sit in the canopy of the trees and take in the larger landscape that is unique to Hawkes Bay.

另一个优先事项是创建一所响应并承认现有约翰·斯科特设计的房子：简单的卷，并列和连接，以获取最好的视图和方向：卷被从一个中心推开。

Another priority was to create a house that responded to and acknowledged the existing John Scott designed house: simple volumes juxtaposed and connected to capture the best views and orientation: the volumes are pushed out from a centre.

出于这些原因，我们设计了一个简单的两层建筑，紧凑，立方体卷重新介绍和抽象的主题由约翰斯科特。我们的选择是创造一个体积，同时结合内向的效果和外向的外观。这种内向的感觉是通过房子的底层发展起来的，它是周围果园网格的一部分。

For these reasons, we designed the new building as a simple two level, compact, cubic volume reintroducing and abstracting the themes developed by John Scott. Our choice was to create a volume that combined at the same time the introverted effect and the outward looking. The introverted sensation was be developed through the ground floor level of the house by being part of the grid of the surrounding orchard.

上层设有卧室，提供了一个放松的区域，可以在果园的树冠内欣赏远处的景色。使用了一个简单的材料托盘，与光滑材料和织构材料的对比。我们的目标是通过使用太阳能无源设计原则来建造一座低能量的房子，同时允许在稍后阶段安装主动系统。

The upper level contains the bedroom and provides a relaxing area where the distant views can be enjoyed from within the canopy of the orchard. A simple pallet of materials was used playing with the contrast of smooth and textured materials. We aimed to create a house that is low energy through the use of solar passive design principles while allowing for the possible installation of active systems at a later stage.
