除了建筑教育的典型范围外，该项目小组由16名在SGA指导下的三年级建筑系学生组成。2012年项目的独特性具有巨大的潜力，因为它是工作室19团队的第一个社会住房事业。

Beyond the typical scope of architectural education, the project team consists of sixteen third year architecture students under SGA guidance. The uniqueness of the 2012 project holds huge potential, as it is the first social housing undertaking from the Studio 19 team.

随着“社会住房改革法案”的出台，新西兰社会住房的未来正在向私营部门推进，VisionWest是一个关键的例子，说明政府如何通过高效和可持续的设计为社区住房组织提供资金，才能取得成功。

The future of social housing in New Zealand is being pushed towards the private sector with the Social Housing Reform Bill, VisionWest is a key example of how government funding of a community housing organisation can be successful when married with efficient and sustainable design.

该设计尊重未来租户的文化、社会、教育和生活方式需求。有了遮蔽的室外生活，专用的内置学习空间，被动式太阳能设计，可移动的热质量和新材料技术，这些住宅提供了高质量的产品，比标准绝缘标准高出50%，健康家庭的市场标准也高出了很多。

The design honours cultural, social, educational, and lifestyle needs of future tenants. With sheltered outdoor living, dedicated built-in study spaces, passive solar design, transportable thermal mass and new material technologies, the homes provide a quality product 50% above code standard for insulation, and well above market standards for healthy homes.

这两栋房子(四间卧室：109平方米和两间卧室小住宅：57.6m2)随着轮廓下降到下面的山谷，踏出了风景，在怀塔基尔山脉的深绿色色调中，用迷彩画进行了适当的休息。屋顶的褶皱，形成弹性和低维护的西南墙，同时有节奏的压扁是该地区考里伐木历史的参考。精心设计的木材内部提供温暖和舒适，但提供了坚固和低维护内部内衬，抵消了自定义数控切割橱柜在厨房，卧室和浴室。

The two homes (Four-bedroom: 109m2 and Two-bedroom minor dwelling: 57.6m2) step with the landscape as the contour descends to the valley below, painted in camouflage to rest modestly in the deep green hues of the Waitakere Ranges. The roofs fold protectively forming resilient and low maintenance Southwest walls whilst the rhythmic battening is a reference to the area’s history of Kauri logging. A crafted timber interior provides warmth and comfort yet provides a robust and low maintenance internal lining, offset by custom CNC cut cabinetry in kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms.

该设计的预制性质使施工过程得以简化，从而降低了建造成本，也减少了材料的浪费。屋顶和墙壁的结构绝缘面板(Sips)到达现场，预先制作，并准备安装，没有剪刀。它的目的是，模块化设计可以很容易地适应未来的网站。

The prefabricated nature of the design allows for a streamlined construction process, resulting in a reduction in build costs, and also in wastage of materials. Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs) for roof and walls arrive on site pre-made and ready to install with no offcuts. It is intended that the modular design can be easily adapted to future sites.
