隐藏在荒野中
美丽并不在于项目的大小，而是在细节和使其与众不同和独特的元素中。一个完美的例子是一个高度鼓舞人心的项目，由建筑师和设计师在2020年完成Gillian van der Schans工作室。

They entitled their creations Birdhouse Studios. They’re a couple of tiny houses perched on a steep slope in Tasmania, Australia.

The studios have small footprints of only 42 and respectively 50 square meters and they feature steel framework. There’s a variety of advantages that come with using steel frames when constructing buildings both big and small. For example, they’re earthquake-proof and very durable, being able to withstand anything the environment throws at them.

A steel frame house costs more upfront but it lasts considerably longer compared to wood which makes this the most cost-effective option in the long term. On top of that its increased durability less maintenance and fewer repairs are needed over time. An additional advantage of the reduced weight of a steel frame compared to one made of wood.
It also goes without saying that steel frames are fireproof which is why this option was chosen for the Birdhouse Studios in the first place. Given the location, the site is actually very vulnerable to bush fires and the steel frames in combination with theCorten steel覆层大大降低了这种风险。另一方面，钢铁会引起热量，但幸运的是，高大的树木和大窗户可确保对这两个小房子的有效通风。

这些华丽的工作室的另一个定义设计功能是他们的Corten钢制外墙。这种类型的覆层自然会通过产生氧化物饰面并形成不断再生自身的生锈表面涂层来自然改变其外观。这增加了对环境因素的耐药性，使外墙耐用且维护率较低，但最重要的是看起来很宏伟。
使用Corten钢覆层用于Birdhouse Studios的主要原因是使它们无缝融合到景观中。外墙反映了附近树木上存在的树皮的质地和颜色，并具有自然的泥土和哑光色。

Building these two little houses here was challenging. The limited access to the site, the 30 degree rocky slope and the presence of protected eucalyptus vegetation on the site were just some of the constraints that the architects had to deal with. However, the architects chose to see these not as deal-breakers but as opportunities to create something unique and truly special.

They raised the studios off the ground on steel support frames which led to them being partially suspended over the sloping ridgeline. This also allowed the beautiful rocky terrain and the vegetation below to the preserved and to continue existing undisturbed.

For the interior design of the Birdhouse Studios the architects opted for warm and locally-sourced materials including natural cork and Tasmanian oak. These creates a warm, intimate and welcoming ambiance inside and also complement the Corten steel exterior walls in a very organic manner. The large windows balance out the dark colors and small footprint, opening up the houses to magnificent views of the city and the mountains beyond.
