架构师提供的文本描述。塔林加树屋是一个独立的住宅扩建，位于后院。它既完整又独立于原来的房子。树屋促使工地内的占领发生变化，反映出一种非正式的态度，这种态度是由一棵重要的树和它所占领的特殊领土所激发的。

Text description provided by the architects. Taringa Treehouse is a detached residential extension located in a backyard. It is both integrated and independent to the original house. The treehouse instigates a shift in occupation within the Site, reflecting an attitude of informality inspired by a significant tree and the peculiar territory it occupies.

布里斯班是一个郁郁葱葱、亚热带、郊区的地方。传统的木材和锡屋(昆士兰人)礼貌地占据街道的边缘，并在后面创造了很大程度上无人居住的空间。这些“后院”往往是过度生长，不受约束的空间，是儿童和临时结构的领域。树屋的设计是为了邀请他们参观和接触这个独特而又典型的未被特许的地区。

Brisbane is a verdant, subtropical, suburban place. House lots are typically long and thin. Traditional timber and tin houses (Queenslanders) politely occupy the street edge and create largely unoccupied spaces at the rear. These ‘backyards’ tend to be overgrown, unruly spaces and are the domain of children and makeshift structures. The treehouse is devised as an invitation to visit and engage with this distinct yet typically unchartered territory.

脚印是有限的，放置小心，以尽量减少位移的价值景观。这座建筑在自己和房子之间形成了一个大庭院，保护了两侧和后方邻居的隐私，并在下午遮荫。三角图是对邻近区域的深思熟虑的反应。

The footprint is confined and placement careful to minimise displacement of valued landscape. The building generates a large courtyard between itself and the house, secures privacy to the side and rear neighbours and casts shade in the afternoon. The triangular plan is the considered response to the field of immediate adjacencies.

 Axonometric View

长边沿(低音)已被切割，以适应雄伟的树木，并打开一个广阔的东北面进入花园。夸张的风挡高度被设计成能接收到树的影子。短边有半透明的楼梯依偎在树的线上。西面的高地捕捉到了白天强烈的热量和光线，从街道上瞥见了它。这座树屋被覆盖在金属包层上，作为一件意料之外的城市艺术品展现在周围的绿色植物中。树屋没有正式的立面回到原来的房子。只有“薄边的楔形”是存在的。这样做的目的不是为了填满后院，而是保留自然的一面和空位。

The long edge [hypotenuse] has been cut to accommodate the majestic tree and opens a broad north eastern face into the garden. The exaggerated weatherboard elevation has been designed to receive the shadow play of the tree. The short side contains the translucent stair nestled into the tree line. The western elevation catches the intense heat and light of the day and is glimpsed from the street. Draped in metallic cladding, the treehouse is revealed to the neighbourhood as an unexpected urban artefact embedded in the greenery. The treehouse presents no formal elevation back to the original house. Only the 'thin edge of the wedge' is present. The intention was not to fill the backyard but retain the natural aspect and vacancy.

这座建筑被设计成一套非正式的空间，墙壁滑开，以拥抱和借用景观。这个程序是没有规定的，楼下是一个有阳台边的平台，有一堵攀岩墙，楼上是一个阁楼。这座建筑物的规模与这棵树成比例。该结构被拉伸和拉长，以达到较低的树枝。居住者根据内部体积进行缩放，在某些时刻相对于内部空间膨胀，而其他时间则收缩。运动是离心的，沿着它的三面，吊索-从地面射入天篷。这种表达的结构巧妙地加强了沿途的方向和几何学的变化。

The building is designed as a set of informal spaces, walls sliding open to embrace and borrow from the landscape. The program is un-prescribed, downstairs is a platform with a veranda edge, there is a climbing wall, upstairs is a loft. The scale of the building is proportioned to the tree. The structure is stretched and elongated to reach the low branches. Occupants are scaled by the internal volumes, at some moments swelling relative to the spaces other times shrinking within them. Movement is centrifugal, along its 3 sides, sling-shooting the occupants from the ground up into the canopy. The expressed structure subtly reinforcing the shifts in orientation and geometry along the journey.

树屋的许多方面不是从当地的家庭建筑中了解到的，而是来自传统上居住在这个地区的儿童小屋的有趣的语言和情感。虽然精致和敏锐的执行，树屋反映的组合折中材料和纹理这些天真的结构。更特别的是，他们收集地方经验和收集记忆的能力。

Many aspects of the Treehouse are informed not from local domestic architecture but rather the playful language and sensibilities of children’s cubby houses which traditionally inhabit this terrain. Whilst refined and keenly executed, the treehouse reflects upon the assemblage of eclectic materials and textures of these naïve structures. More particularly their ability to collect experiences of place and solicit memories.
