Castle Rock house is designed by Herbst Architects and won the NZIA – Auckland Architecture Award 2015. The house is located on the coast of New Zealand, near Auckland.

城堡岩屋是由赫斯特建筑师设计，并赢得了2015年NZIA-奥克兰建筑奖。这座房子位于新西兰海岸，靠近奥克兰。

The architect’s description: 2015 NZIA Jury Citation: “Yet another in a series of exemplary beach houses by this practice, this project has a directness and simplicity that engages its occupants with both the essential and the existential nature of the beach house. Beautifully considered and expertly crafted, this is a demanding house – showers are not fully weather-sealed, surfaces are intended to suffer the natural consequences of ageing, and materials are blunt and uncompromising: the architects know that meeting some challenges is a wholly beneficial exercise. Yet within this almost rustic language is a captivating level of delight – the warm breezes passing through the spaces, the sand on the floor: all the qualities which distinguish a holiday house from a suburban home create a distinctive sense of place. The house commands its site without either pretence or posturing and invites occupation in all seasons.”

这位建筑师的描述：2015年NZIA评审团引文：“通过这种做法，这个项目是一系列示范性海滩房屋中的又一个，它具有直观性和简洁性，它的使用者既能感受到海滩别墅的本质，也能感受到它的存在性。”经过精心考虑和精湛制作，这是一个要求很高的房子-淋浴不是完全密封的，表面是为了承受老化的自然后果，材料是直截了当和毫不妥协的：建筑师们知道，迎接一些挑战是一项非常有益的工作。然而，在这种近乎乡村化的语言中，有一种令人着迷的快感-温暖的微风穿过空间，地板上的沙子：把度假屋和郊区住宅区分开来的所有品质，都创造了一种独特的地方感。这所房子指挥着自己的地盘，既没有伪装，也没有装腔作势，在任何季节都邀请人入伙。
