由Nott建筑师事务所设计的Ophir House位于新西兰Central Otago地区，是一个只有一家酒吧和一家商店的偏远小镇。建筑师表

示，这座房屋“主打”景观，可以俯瞰众多山脉的景色。

Ophir House by Nott Architects is on a rural site just above the remote, one-pub-one-shop town of Ophir in Central Otago, between Alexandra and Ranfurly. The architects say the house has a “hero” view and a northern aspect across to the Hawkdun Range and Mount St Bathans, and a westerly outlook to the Dunstan range beyond.

新西兰南岛的Central Otago，以其壮丽的地貌景观、充足的日照，干燥的气候、风化的褐色远古山脉、高山草原以及湍急的河流而闻名于世。

对场地的响应要求采取一种创造性的设计方法，既要反映自然元素，又要适应选择在这样地方居住的人们。

建筑形态深深地融入植被景观中，建筑设计为一层，以简洁的线条勾勒出其外形。

Nott建筑事务所创造了一个个性化的居所，打造了一个既是庇护所又是避风港的家。

Located in Central Otago, in the South Island of New Zealand, Ophir House sits comfortably within its namesake as a definitive expression of place. Surrounded by desert-like conditions, the response called for an approach that would create a home reflective of both the natural elements and the people that choose to live in such a location. In looking to other desert musings within Mojave, Sonoran and the US, a more weighted form was proposed to sit solidly among the sparsely vegetated landscape, electing instead to bunker the form as one level and contain it within a clean silhouette. The arid quality of the landscape inspired Nott Architects to create a personalised destination, combining shelter and refuge among considered gestures.

Ophir House以其简约设计对周围景观做出了生动表达，质朴的材料提升了日常生活体验。

Nott建筑事务所借鉴了自然元素，提出一个扎根于自然的住宅设计。

Expressing rawness, Ophir House responds to the surrounding remote landscape with a matched simplicity and elemental approach, allowing an honest textural materiality to elevate the everyday. Nott Architects draws from the arid natural elements and proposes a grounded home that connects to the site whilst ensuring visual connections are maintained.

建筑师表示，这里过去是一片农田，多年荒废，所以到处都是岩石、干草和低矮植被。

“这个位置是新西兰最荒凉的地方之一，成为了设计的主要推动因素。

The architects say the site is ex-farmland, which had not been grazed in years, so it was dotted with schist, dry grasses and low vegetation. “The location, being one of the most stark and desert-like in New Zealand became the key driver to the design outcomes.

规模适度的房屋与城市便利设施的脱离。

它被构想为一个野营地，将居住空间、工作室空间和房车(Airstream)结合在一起，成为扎根在沙漠景观的固定元素。

Modest in scale, the sizing of the home acts as a reflection of its detachment from other supporting amenity, neighbours or anything resembling urban convenience. Conceived of as a campsite, the established residence combines both a dwelling and studio space as the more permanent elements on site, together with the owner’s Airstream. As the ultimate symbol of a nomadic and considered lifestyle, the moveable home represents a spirit of ephemerality, and of the Ophir House being an outpost in an undiscovered location.

受到干旱、沙漠的环境启发下，建筑师们寻找了世界各地类似的景观。

将美国的莫哈维沙漠和索诺兰沙漠进行了比较，并以建筑师Rick Joy的设计作为参考，他是设计的主要催化剂。

Joy使用夯土技术，以其精湛的沙漠建筑而闻名。

Inspired by the arid, desert-like conditions, the architects looked to similar landscapes around the world. They made comparisons to the deserts of America, Mojave and the Sonoran, and looked to Arizonan architect Rick Joy who was a catalyst for much of the design. Joy is known for his sophisticated desert architecture and often works in rammed earth.

作为流动生活方式的终极象征，这个移动的家代表着一种精神。

成为一个未被发现地区的前哨站。

但由于所处位置的风势极大，需要一个坚固的建筑结构来保护免受风吹雨淋。

With views out to the surrounding ranges, the planes upon which the home sits are subject to extreme winds, further adding to the need for a solid form as protection from the elements.

周边的混凝土地基墙带有键梁，键梁通常是水平的梁状结构，可以位于墙体的顶部或中间用于支撑模板浇筑后的夯土墙，这些墙体厚度达到了450毫米。

夯土所用的黏土和沙子就地取材。

地板也是夯土制成的，由沙子、黏土和砾石混合而成，最后涂上蜂蜡和亚麻油，厚度为200毫米，铺设在隔热层之上。

A perimeter concrete foundation wall with bond beams supports the shuttered, then rammed earth walls, which are a massive 450mm thick. The clay and sand mix was taken from the local area. The flooring is also rammed earth - 200mm deep, laid over rigid insulation. The floor is made up of a mix of sand, clay and gravel, finished with beeswax and linseed oil.

尽管新西兰以其郁郁葱葱的绿色景观而闻名，但它也以其多样的自然条件而著称，而这个家就是为了凸显这一点。

在较大岩石的保护下，结构融入地形，并通过粗糙和原始的材料，与周边环境相互呼应。

窗的设置开阔视野，住宅同时提供风能和太阳能绿色能源。

Although New Zealand is recognised for its lush and green landscapes, it is also known for its vastly diverse natural conditions, which this home celebrates. Protected in part by the placement of larger rock forms, the structure nestles into the terrain, and through a rough and raw materiality, warm tones match the landscape palette. Framing views out into the distance, openings are aligned to connect the home to the surrounds whilst also providing an opportunity for ventilation and solar gains across the seasons. Significant earth-walls protect the interior and, together with Corten steel, timber, texture and a robustness are intrinsic to the result.

作为一个寂静之地，Ophir House是一个在独特环境中的港湾。

通过将场地作为结构设计的灵感来源，房屋组成又回馈了场地上自然形成的图案。

As a place of calm, Ophir House is a reflective harbour in a unique setting. The camouflaged nature of the home’s comprising parts sees Nott Architects both respond and give back to the naturally occurring patterns across the site through using the location as inspiration in the structure’s design.
