Taringa Treehouse has been designed as a “weekender in the backyard” for a young couple on their suburban lot. Initially briefed as an extension to the original 1900’s Worker’s cottage, the project quickly migrated into the garden. Recognising the Owners spend most of their spare time in the backyard gardening, looking after their ducks or simply bathing in the winter light or relaxing in the dapple shade offered by the canopy in summer.

塔林加树屋被设计成“后院里的工作日”，为一对在郊区的年轻夫妇设计。最初作为1900年工人小屋的延伸，这个项目很快就迁移到了花园里。认识到主人们大部分的业余时间都花在后院的花园里，照顾他们的鸭子，或者只是在冬天的阳光下洗澡，或者在夏天树冠提供的树荫下放松。

The triangular plan responds to two key criteria; the first is a simple desire not to ‘fill the backyard’ with a building, the geometry is orientated to present only ‘the thin edge of the wedge’ as the elevation back to the house, the second criteria was to defer the internal spaces to the large deciduous tree within the site and create a north-eastern courtyard as a adjacent companion space.

三角图符合两个关键的标准：第一个是简单的不想用建筑物填满后院，几何学的方向是只呈现‘楔形的薄边’作为立面回到房子的位置，第二个标准是把内部空间推迟到场地内的大型落叶树上，并创建一个东北庭院作为相邻的伴生空间。

The modern treehouse is a micro build, carefully sited and intentionally folded up onto second level to restrict the footprint (less than 25m²) reducing the displacement of the precious landscape. The challenge is to add and not subtract from the experience of the backyard with the introduction of the architecture.

现代树屋是一座微型建筑，精心布置，有意折叠到第二层，以限制占地面积(小于25平方米)，减少宝贵景观的位移。我们面临的挑战是通过引入建筑来增加而不是减少后院的经验。

The siting in the corner of the lot has allowed us to design each leg of the triangle as a distinctly different elevation in materials and detail, 3 buildings in one. The western edge is clad in metal to manage the radiant afternoon sun, the southern face a translucent screen into the neighbouring forest and the Hypotenuse cut to create the north-east elevation is conceived as a punctuated canvas to receive the shadow play of the tree.

地块一角的位置使我们可以将三角形的每一段设计成一个在材料和细节上明显不同的高度，3座建筑合二为一。西边被金属包裹着来管理下午的阳光，南面有一个半透明的屏风进入邻近的森林，低矮的剪裁来创造东北高地被认为是一个断断续续的帆布来接收树的影子。

Whether a beach house or mountain retreat, the key to a weekender is the shift in lifestyle or manner of occupation- generally informal, relaxed and less defined. Ultimately, it breaks rules with the way we expect to live in suburbia. This project although contained within the same 400m² lot as the main house seeks the same autonomy. The Taringa Treehouse is not intended to be a piece of the main house drifting into the backyard, it is designed to offer a different mode of living within the site, more like an adult cubbyhouse climbing up into the branches of the tree gathering the filtered light and childhood experiences.

无论是海滨别墅还是山间度假胜地，平安无事的关键都是生活方式或职业方式的转变-通常是非正式的、放松的、定义较少的。最终，它打破了我们期望生活在郊区的方式。这一项目虽然包含在与主住宅相同的400平方米土地内，但却寻求同样的自主权。“塔林加树屋”并不是要成为一座飘进后院的主房子的一部分，它的设计是为了提供一种不同的生活方式，更像是一个成年人的小屋爬上树枝，收集过滤过的光线和童年的体验。
