Te Hihi embraces the interminable rural setting amidst the gentle rolling landscape distinctive of Karaka, 45 kilometers south of Auckland City. The building is sited where two valleys converge to form a narrowing spur of land from which immediate and distant vistas can be experienced in all directions.

在奥克兰市以南45公里的卡拉卡，泰希希拥抱着绵延无止尽的乡村环境。这座建筑坐落在两个山谷汇合的地方，形成了一个狭小的土地支点，从那里可以从四面八方感受到眼前和远处的景色。

The main axis of the house follows the incline of the land, expressed with a central hallway that finds relief in large viewing windows to the east. Spaces are organised along this circulation path, shifting and tapering to each gain an eastern aspect and northern sun. This axis is intersected by the entry concourse and continuous pergola, which slices across the ridge and connects to the northern lawn and pool area.

房子的主轴沿着土地的斜面，用中央走廊表示，在东面的大窗户上可以看到浮雕。空间是沿着这条循环路径组织起来的，移动和逐渐变细，每一个地方都有一个东面和北太阳。这个轴与入口汇合处和连续的坡果交叉，横贯山脊，并连接到北部草坪和游泳池区域。

The traditional weatherboard has been re-worked in a large format to respond to the elongated building form, rendered black to recess into the landscape and contrast the glowing warmth of timber.

传统的风化板已被重新加工成一个大的格式，以回应拉长的建筑形式，使黑色的凹槽进入景观和对比的明亮温暖的木材。

The roof is an all-encompassing wedge form, responding to the tapering landform. Deliberately blank to the southern approach, the windows are sculpted-out recesses, forcing outlook in a downward direction to the extensively landscaped wetlands below.

屋顶是一个包罗万象的楔形体，响应于逐渐变细的地形.有意空白的南面，窗户是雕刻出凹槽，迫使前景向下的广泛景观湿地下面。
