Peter Stutchbury建筑事务所设计的Cabbage Tree House从山坡上拔地而起，是一个场所的建筑表现形式，其目的是加强对土地的理解和情感体验，从而为建筑提供信息。这座房子是建筑师和客户在土地上花费时间，学习其品质和空间地形的结果。

Emerging from the hillside, Cabbage Tree House by Peter Stutchbury Architecture is a built manifestation of place, whose purpose is to heighten the understanding and emotional experience of the land that informs the architecture.The house is the outcome of time the architects and clients spent with the land, learning its qualities and spatial topography.

通过对景观特征的了解，形成了建筑如何与场地相处的感觉。从这个过程中，建立了一个由三个元素组成的地理序列，一个平坦的高原，一个陡峭的斜坡以及下面的一条小溪。从这个过程中，建筑作为一个连接元素的性质变得清晰。

Through coming to understand the landscape’s character, a sense for how a building might behave with the site was developed.From this process, a triad of three elements, in a geographical sequence of sorts – a flat plateau above a steep slope with a creek below – was established, from which the nature of the building as an element of connection became clear.

平坦的高原提供了可用于娱乐的空间，无论是以菜园的形式、坐在户外晒太阳的地方、后院的板球场，还是与朋友和家人聚会的地方。为了将这块平坦的土地用于娱乐，将建筑选址在山丘本身，作为高原和小溪之间的楼梯是很重要的。

A flat plateau offers space that can be used for recreation, whether in the form of vegetable gardens, somewhere to sit outdoors in the sun, a backyard cricket pitch, or a place to gather with friends and family.In order to devote the flat area of the land to recreation, it was consequential to site the building into the hill itself, acting as stairs between the plateau and the creek.

随着挤压的砖石结构作为山坡的延伸，Cabbage Tree House从根本上与它现在所处的土地接触。通过建筑形式和大地的融合，建筑成为土地和居民之间的连接力量。Peter将该建筑描述为 "天地连接"。建筑就像景观中的一个管道，人们从山顶的高台接近建筑，然后从山坡上下来，穿过房子。

With the extruded masonry structure acting as an extension of the hillside, Cabbage Tree House engages fundamentally with the land of which it is now a part. And through the fusion of the built form and the earth, the building becomes a connecting force between the land and its inhabitants. Peter describes the building as a “sky-ground connection”. One approaches the building from the elevated plateau at the top of the hill, and then descends down the hillside through the house, with the building acting as a conduit within the landscape.

这种进展吸引着人们去重新连接一些最原始的人类需求。而且，在其洞穴般的性质中，房子是元素性的，有助于放大土地的经验。在这样做的过程中，该项目对当代住宅的相关性提出了挑战，促进了以屏幕为中心的体验。相反，在整个设计过程中，建筑师质疑建筑如何通过强调生活中最基本的体验和场地的叙事，使人们重新审视共同照顾、社交、认识和意识的古老价值观。室内采用了克制的材料瑟调，并以 markowitzdesign 的 Adam Markowitz 设计的家具为特色。

This progression draws one down to reconnect with some of the most primal of human imperatives. And, in its cave-like nature, the house is elemental, serving to amplify the experience of the land.In doing so, the project offers a challenge to the relevance of contemporary housing that facilitates screen-focused experience.Instead, throughout the design the architects questioned how the building may enable the revisiting of ancient values of shared care, sociability, awareness and consciousness by emphasising both the most essential experiences of life and the narrative of the site.The interior is defined by a restrained material palette, and features furniture by Adam Markowitz of markowitzdesign.

虽然该建筑像山洞，但它并不空洞。建筑师对规模的敏感度和对住宅空间内光线质量的强调，使得该建筑在居住方面十分谨慎。从下面看，建筑的规模似乎很宏大，但实际上，Cabbage Tree House并不庞大。每个空间都是适度的和克制的，反映了建筑师和客户的意图，即把房子缩减到只有必要的部分。

While the building is cave-like, it is not cavernous. The architects’ sensitivity to scale and emphasis on the quality of the light within the spaces of the home results in a building that devotes itself to habitation with care. When viewed from below, the scale of the architecture appears grand yet, in reality, Cabbage Tree House is not large. Each space is modest and restrained, reflecting the architects’ and clients’ intent to pare back the house to only that which is essential.

在此基础上，卧室的天花板比客厅的稍低。通过这种空间的压缩，卧室促进了与其功能相适应的更大的保护感。同时，人类寻求庇护的原始需求与对阳光的同样基本的拉力相平衡。由于房子背对着山丘，因此有必要将光线引入到住宅的深处。

On this basis, the ceiling in the bedroom is slightly lower than in the living room. Through this compression of space, the bedroom promotes a greater sense of protection appropriate to its function. Meanwhile, the primal human imperative to seek shelter is balanced with the equally fundamental pull towards sunlight. Because the house is sited with its back to the hill, it was necessary to introduce light deeper into the home.

基于对土地的深深敬意，Cabbage Tree House是对建筑环境和自然界如何相互影响的探索。最重要的是，它代表了建筑如何-有意识地、刻意地、怀着敬畏之心在人类和他们生活的景观之间形成一种关系。

Drawing on a deep respect for the land, Cabbage Tree House is an exploration of how the built environment and the natural world each impact upon the other. Above all, it is a representation of how – consciously, deliberately and with reverence – architecture can form a relationship between human beings and the landscape in which they live.
