Te Kaitaka house is nestled amongst the tussock covered hills of Roy’s Peninsula on the shores of Lake Wanaka, in the South Island of New Zealand. It is situated on the edge of Te Wahipounamu / Southwest New Zealand World Heritage Area and Mt Aspiring National Park. The area is renowned for it’s dramatic landscape with large valleys, carved out by ancient glaciers, dissecting high mountain ranges. It is also a Mecca for outdoor leisure activities including hiking, fishing and boating in summer and skiing in winter.

在新西兰南岛的万纳卡湖畔，泰凯塔卡的房子坐落在罗伊半岛的长满山丘中。它位于特瓦普努纳木/新西兰西南部世界遗产地区和有抱负的国家公园的边缘。这一地区以其巨大的山谷景观而闻名于世，这些山谷是由古老的冰川雕刻而成的，它解剖了高耸的山脉。这也是一个麦加户外休闲活动，包括徒步旅行，钓鱼和划船在夏天和滑雪在冬季。

Our approach was to investigate an architectural language in conversation with the natural environment and local building traditions. Abstracted triangulated geometries and origami-like folds and cuts were employed to create a sculptural form that related strongly to the alpine landscape. This was articulated with reference to the forms and textures of the vernacular timber woolsheds of the area.

我们的方法是研究建筑语言与自然环境和当地建筑传统的对话。抽象的三角几何图形和折纸状褶皱和剪裁被用来创造一种与高山景观密切相关的雕塑形式。这是根据该地区当地木材的形式和结构来阐述的。

Local planning rules required a building platform that was no greater than 25 metres square. Our design process started with a square piece of paper. It was tilted to create a roof plane that mirrored the slope of the land, then trimmed to fit the undulating landform and to create courtyards to the east and west. The roof plane was sliced on the angle and folded up to form sky-lights, the edges were folded down to form walls enclosing the space within.

地方规划规则要求建筑平台面积不超过25平方米。我们的设计过程从一张正方形的纸开始。它是倾斜的，创造了一个屋顶平面，反映了土地的斜坡，然后修剪，以适应起伏的地形，并创建庭院向东和西。屋面在角度上被切割，折叠起来形成天空光，边缘被折下来形成包围内部空间的墙壁。

In Maori culture the cloak, Te Kaitaka, is a potent symbol of shelter and nurture. A skin of natural cedar cloaks the raw concrete structure, analogous to the tussock draped over the rocky landscape. The weathered camouflage exterior gives way to a cavelike interior, the concrete and stone mass providing a sense of protection from the power of the landscape and the extreme regional climate. This is an intriguing but satisfying reversal of the orthodox material schema of concrete exterior and timber interior.

在毛利人文化中，斗篷，Te Kaitaka，是庇护和养育的有力象征。一层天然的雪松皮遮住了原始的混凝土结构，类似于覆盖在岩石景观上的柞蚕。风化的伪装外部让位于一个类似的内部，混凝土和石质提供了一种保护意识的力量，景观和极端的区域气候。这是一个有趣但令人满意的扭转传统材料模式的混凝土外部和木材内部。

The central living area comprises a series of diagonally interlocking spaces which culminate in a cavernous aperture which is carved through to the upper floor, creating a sense of connectedness and spatial fluidity. Shafts of winter sunlight penetrate deep into the space through raised angular skylights and deep framed windows, evoking an almost spiritual atmosphere.

中心生活区包括一系列对角线联锁空间，最终形成一个洞穴状孔洞，该孔洞通过雕刻到上层，形成连通感和空间流动性。冬季阳光的轴通过凸起的角度天窗和深框架的窗户深入空间，激发了一种几乎精神的气氛。

The roof plane dips low, forming a sheltered Verandah space, framing views to the lake and mountains. The materiality of the building has a tactility and earthy sensuality expressed by the textured concrete walls, rough hewn schist floors, and band sawn oiled timber ceilings. A subtle scent of cedar permeates the space. The Te Kaitaka house is enriched by hand crafted detailing and has been assembled with the skill and precision of a furniture maker.

屋顶的平面向下倾斜，形成了一个被遮蔽的Verandah空间，可以看到湖和山的景色。建筑物的物质性有一种触觉和泥土的感觉，表现为质地的混凝土墙，粗糙的凿开的片岩地板，带锯油的木材天花板。一种淡淡的雪松气味弥漫着整个空间。TeKaitaka的房子是丰富的手工制作细节，并已组装的技巧和精确的家具制造商。

The Te Kaitaka house is a sanctuary for our clients, their family and friends. Although generous in its proportions and theatrical in its expression it is also an intimate and sociable home with a sense of informality and an atmosphere of serenity. As a sculptural object within the landscape enfolding a rich interior experience, this house evokes a profound sense of place.

TeKaitaka的房子是我们的客户，他们的家人和朋友的避难所。虽然它的比例很大，表现得很戏剧化，但它也是一个私密和社交的家，有一种非正式的感觉和一种宁静的气氛。作为景观中的一个雕塑对象，蕴含着丰富的室内体验，这座房子唤起了一种深刻的场所感。
