Elemental house is a low impact off-grid retreat on an exposed ridge line at a place called High Camp, an hour north of Melbourne.

元素屋是一个低影响离网格撤退在一个暴露的山脊线在一个地方称为高营地，一个小时以北的墨尔本。

In a compact 10m x 10m footprint, this house has one bedroom, one bathroom and one living room. But while it shuns some of the excesses of modern life, it doesn’t sacrifice comfort.

在一个紧凑的10米x10米的足迹，这房子有一个卧室，一个浴室和一个客厅。但是，尽管它避开了现代生活中的一些过度行为，但它并不会牺牲舒适。

The house produces and stores its own power, collects its own rain water and treats its own waste water on site.

该房屋生产并储存自己的电力，收集自己的雨水，并在现场处理自己的废水。

The design interacts with the elements to create natural comfort; inviting warming winter sun, blocking out hot summer sun and catching prevailing cool breezes.

该设计与元素相互作用，创造自然的舒适；邀请温暖的冬季阳光，遮挡炎热的夏季阳光，捕捉流行的凉风。

Perched on a hill overlooking stunning panoramic views, it is exposed to the harshest of Australia’s elements; category N3 winds (low level cyclonic,) bushfire attack level of BAL-29, and the unforgiving hot summer sun. It was the raw natural beauty of the place that drew our clients there. They told us that ‘woora woora’ means ‘sky’ in the local dialect and the sky out here is expansive and beautiful. But on such an exposed site, the sky takes on a paradoxical relationship for us; providing all that we need to be self-sufficient but also imposing the harsh elements that make this place inhospitable.

坐落在山上，俯瞰惊人的全景，它暴露在澳大利亚最严酷的元素；类别N3风(低水平旋风，)丛林火焰攻击水平BAL-29，和无情的炎热的夏季太阳。正是这个地方的原始自然美景吸引了我们的客户。他们告诉我们，“woorawoora”在当地方言中的意思是“天空”，而这里的天空又广阔又美丽。但是在这样一个暴露的地方，天空对我们来说是一种自相矛盾的关系；提供了我们所需要的一切自给自足的东西，同时也强加了使这个地方不适宜居住的严酷因素。

Rather than shy away, this bold little house confronts the elements and embraces them, immersing the occupant in the broad landscape beyond.

这座大胆的小房子没有害羞，而是面对各种元素，拥抱它们，让居住者沉浸在远处广阔的景色中。

The geometric form is a pure expression of the essence of shelter that we crave in this land – like seeking shade under the branches of a broad tree canopy. The depth of the eaves provides summer shade and shelter from rain. The chunkiness of the eaves is a structural response to the wind loads and visually gives the house a sense of solidity.

几何图形是我们在这片土地上所渴望的栖身之所本质的纯粹表达-在一棵宽阔的树冠下寻找树荫。屋檐的深度提供了避暑和避雨的地方。屋檐的粗大是对风荷载的一种结构反应，在视觉上给房子一种坚固的感觉。

The strong horizontality of this canopy visually accentuates the undulations of the surrounding landscape.

这个天篷的强烈的水平性在视觉上突出了周围景观的起伏。

We used a natural palette of materials complementing the location. The external timber, spotted gum, is sustainably harvested and is so durable that it is bushfire resistant. Unlike the corrugated iron vernacular, this will age gracefully, allowing the building to settle into the landscape.

我们使用了一个天然的材料调色板来补充这个位置。外部木材，有斑点的树胶，是可持续的采伐，是如此耐用，它是耐火的。与波纹的铁白话不同，这将优雅地老化，使建筑能够融入景观。

Inside, protected by the elements, the spotted gum-lined ceiling and cabinetry will stay forever young. The internal palette is minimal, practical and unadorned, reflecting our client’s brief. Concrete is structure, thermal mass, benchtops and hearth. Oriented strand board (OSB), a structural bracing, is appropriated as internal wall lining and cabinetry and painted black.

在室内，在元素的保护下，有斑点的树胶内衬天花板和橱柜将永远保持年轻。内部调色板是最小的，实用的和朴素的，反映了我们的客户的简短。混凝土是结构，热质量，台面和壁炉。定向股线板(OSB)是一种结构支撑，作为内壁衬里和橱柜，漆成黑色。

These dark, moody finishes emphasise the sense of shelter. The reflective lustre of the burnished concrete, the sheen of the timber and the mirrored splash backs also increase the soft ambient light and amplify the views beyond, celebrating the awesome nature of this site viewed from a position of comfortable refuge.

这些黑暗的，喜怒无常的结束强调了避风港的感觉。有光泽的混凝土的反射光泽，木材的光泽和镜面溅起的背，也增加了柔和的环境光和放大了视野以外，庆祝这个网站的可怕性质，从一个舒适的避难所的位置。
