On a hill outside of New Zealand’s notable city of Wellington, Parsonson Architects have recently finished a residential project that blends the beauty of living in the country with the convenience of living right on the edges of an urban space. The uniquely shaped Ostrich House sits atop a hill of its own and provides a comfortable escape for a young family.

在新西兰著名城市惠灵顿(Wellington)郊外的一座小山上，帕森森建筑师最近完成了一项住宅项目，该项目将居住在乡村的美与居住在城市空间边缘的便利结合在一起。独具特色的鸵鸟屋坐落在自己的一座小山上，为年轻的家庭提供了一种舒适的逃避方式。

Thanks to its place at the top of its own gentle roll, Ostrich House is afforded a panoramic view. This lets dwellers and guests see not just the city of Wellington in its entirety but also the countryside past and around it. The house sits about 15 minutes from the city limits, giving it all the convenience of urban spaces close by while still affording it the atmosphere of a retreat.

由于它的位置在它自己的温柔滚动顶部，鸵鸟屋提供了一个全景。这让居民和客人不仅可以看到惠灵顿的整个城市，还可以看到它的过去和周围的乡村。这栋房子离市区大约15分钟车程，给它提供了附近城市空间的便利，同时也给它提供了退却的气氛。

The unique appearance of the home’s exterior is partially practical because its sheltered nature over the entrance and courtyard helps provide protection against weathering. At the same time, it was a purposeful aesthetic choice designed to reflect the look of the home’s rugged hilltop landscape. The site itself was partially levelled by a previous owner so any prospective house could sit a little straighter and be afforded a better view.

住宅外部的独特外观是部分实用的，因为其在入口和庭院的遮蔽性有助于防止风化。同时，它是一个有目的的审美选择，旨在反映家庭崎岖的山顶景观的外观。该网站本身被以前的所有者部分地夷平，所以任何潜在的房子都可以坐一点更直，并提供更好的视野。

On this straightened area, the house is positioned to face the best view from is levelled spot, but it was also strategically angled so that from a distance, the sloping roof form seems to complete the visual line of the hill sloping upwards. This angled covering also provides protection from occasionally harsh North Western winds, as well as Southern winds from Cook Straight below the slope.

在这一拉直的区域，房子被定位成从平整的地方面对最佳的景色，但是它也具有战略性的角度，以便从远处看，倾斜的屋顶形式看起来就会使斜坡的视线向上倾斜。这种倾斜的覆盖物还提供免受偶尔恶劣的北西风的保护，以及来自于斜坡下面的库克的南方风。

On the inside of the house, the angled of this ceiling piece is mirrored in the shape of the interior, which makes the common living space feel dynamic and unique but also spacious. The ceiling is covered in Okoume plywood all the way from the tops of the walls to the wind and sun screens in high windows and skylights.

在房屋的内部，该天花板的角度被镜像成内部的形状，这使得公共生活空间感受到动态的和独特的，而且也是宽敞的。天花板被Okoume胶合板覆盖，从墙壁的顶部到高窗户和天窗中的风和太阳屏幕。

When it comes to layouts of the bedrooms, designers actually allotted parents and kids alike their own wings. These extend from the public common spaces, which open, thanks to sliding doors, out onto a central courtyard that features a deck and rolling lawns. Cedar cladding helps blend the indoor and outdoor spaces even further because the same wood continues onto the deck.

当谈到卧室的布局时，设计师们实际上给父母和孩子们分配了自己的翅膀。这是从公共公共空间延伸出来的，它敞开着，感谢滑门，到一个有甲板和滚动草坪的中央庭院。雪松包层有助于混合室内和室外空间，因为相同的木材继续到甲板上。

In addition to being efficient in the way the sloped roof protects the inner spaces of the house, its structures were also designed to be sustainable thanks to passive heating and cooling systems that control the temperature in the summer and winter alike. These systems are helped by pieces of exposed concrete floor and internal block walls, as well as double glazing in thermal window frames.

除了以倾斜的屋顶保护房屋的内部空间的方式有效之外，它的结构也被设计为可持续的，这是因为在夏季和冬季控制温度的被动加热和冷却系统。这些系统由暴露的混凝土地板和内部砌块墙以及热窗框中的双层玻璃帮助。

Like the exterior, the inside of the house is a unique and balanced blend of materials that reflect the landscape. Following wooden themed and slate grey colours on both accounts, the entire home thoroughly suits its surroundings. Where concrete and stained wood aren’t owning the aesthetic, black surfaces and details ground the scheme in a way that feels comfortable and warm.

和外部一样，房子的内部是一个独特和平衡的混合材料，反映景观。按照木质主题和板岩灰色的两种帐户，整个家庭完全适合其周围的环境。在混凝土和染色木材并不拥有美学，黑色表面和细节的基础上，以一种感觉舒适和温暖的方案。
