Coromandel Bach House was designed by Crosson Architects. Located in Coromandel, New Zealand, this vacation home was conceived as a simple timber container that could be closed off when vacated. Conceived as a container sitting lightly on the land, this long rectangular house sits halfway up a north-facing manuka-clad hill north of Whitianga, looking like a timber crate ready to be unpacked. On arrival all that is required is to winch down the sides to form the decks and provide a stage for living, which then appears to float above the ground as if ready to be folded up and moved to another location. On departure the crate is packed up again for protection from the elements.

Coromandel Bach House是由克罗森建筑师设计的。这个度假屋位于新西兰的科洛曼德尔，它被设想为一个简单的木材容器，在空出时可以关闭。这座长方形的房子坐落在惠蒂安加以北一个面朝北的曼纽卡山的一半，看起来就像一个可以拆开的木箱。到达后，所需要的只是向两边绞车，形成甲板，为生活提供一个舞台，然后它似乎漂浮在地面上，就好像准备折叠起来，搬到另一个地方一样。出发时，箱子再次被装起来，以保护免受这些元素的影响。

The house offers a reinterpretation of the New Zealand building tradition – the crafting of wood – with structure, cladding (weathered Lawson’s cypress) and joinery expressed in a raw and unique way. With heavy vertical structural members supporting horizontal boarding, the construction is reminiscent of the “trip” dams common in the Coromandel region at the turn of last century. The thick cypress boards are left unlined inside; interior walls are hoop pine plywood; ceiling panels are also of hoop pine.

这座房子重新诠释了新西兰的建筑传统-木结构，包层(风化的劳森柏木)和细木工，以一种原始而独特的方式表现出来。随着沉重的垂直结构构件支持水平登板，建造让人想起上世纪初在科洛曼德尔地区常见的“旅行”水坝。厚厚的柏木板在里面没有衬里；内墙是环松木胶合板；天花板也是环松的。

The central living room, open to the outside and the sun, is a metaphorical tent or campsite, while the children’s bunkrooms at one end are enclosed and cool. Bi-fold glass doors can be drawn back so the living room becomes a veranda providing shade. A large fireplace allows winter occupation; the open bathroom with slatted timber floor and the movable bath on wheels allow the rituals of showering and bathing to become an experience connected to nature. In this way the bach attempts to capture the essential spirit of the New Zealand holiday in the landscape.

中央客厅，对外面和阳光开放，是一个比喻的帐篷或露营地，而儿童的寝室在一端是封闭的和凉爽的。双折玻璃门可以向后拉，这样客厅就变成了提供遮荫的阳台。一个大的壁炉允许冬季占领；开放的浴室与板条木地板和可移动的浴缸在轮子上允许淋浴和洗澡的仪式成为一种与自然相关的体验。通过这种方式，巴赫试图在风景中捕捉新西兰假日的基本精神。
