In the words of the woodstain advertisement, Hudson Architects' Cedar House at North Elmham in Norfolk does exactly what it says on the tin. At first glance, its most striking feature is its cladding: 15,000 Washington State cedar shingles wrap the building from roof ridge almost to ground level, obliterating all difference between surfaces save for the windows and doors, which extrude like strange orifices from this reptilian skin. The house has overtones of MVRDV's 2002 housing at Ypenburg on the edge of The Hague. Here, Winny Maas, Jacob van Ries and Nathalie de Vries (collectively known by their initials) designed a series of houses, each clad in a single, often vividly coloured, material -terracotta roof tiles, green or blue ceramic tiles, profiled aluminium panels or timber shingles. Like Hudson, they also pared the houses down, removing all external detailing, until they read like childish caricatures of 'home'.

机译：用木材染色广告的话来说，位于诺福克郡北艾尔姆汉姆的哈德逊建筑师事务所的雪松屋完全符合锡罐上的要求。乍看之下，其最引人注目的功能是其立面：15,000块华盛顿州雪松木带将建筑物从屋顶山脊几乎包裹到地面，消除了除了门窗外所有表面之间的差异，这些差异像是从这种爬虫类动物的皮肤上喷出的奇怪的孔口一样。这座房子与MVRDV 2002年在海牙边缘的伊彭堡（Ypenburg）的房屋相映成趣。在这里，温尼·马斯（Winny Maas），雅各布·范·里斯（Jacob van Ries）和纳塔莉·德弗里斯（Nathalie de Vries）共同设计了一系列房屋，每套房屋均采用单一的，通常色彩鲜明的材料-赤陶屋顶瓦，绿色或蓝色瓷砖，压型铝板或木材带状疱疹。像哈德森一样，他们也削减了房屋，删除了所有外部细节，直到它们看起来像是幼稚的“家”漫画。
