巴尔米-帕尔米之家颂扬了谦虚和简单生活的乐趣。这座亲密无间的棕榈滩小房子牢固地种植在一个陡峭的岩石斜坡上,将你悬挂在灌木丛的树冠上。沉浸在阳光、树木、微风和鸟类中,轻松的度假感觉邀请你去充电。

Balmy Palmy House celebrates the pleasures of modesty and the simple life. Firmly planted on a steep and rocky slope, this intimate little Palm Beach home suspends you in a bushland canopy. Immersed in the sunshine, trees, breezes, and birdlife, the relaxed holiday feel invites you to recharge.

场地是棕榈滩半岛上的空旷灌木丛,距离悉尼中央商务区40公里。在一个陡峭的岩石坡上,由于缺乏稳定的底土,有滑坡的危险。该结构需要被挖掘到岩石中,或建立在钻入霍克斯伯里砂岩地层的混凝土墩脚上,与理事会保护的杰克逊港无花果树和其他成熟树木共享空间。由于预算紧张,设计需要简单,以减少复杂性、施工时间和定期现场考察。

The site was vacant bushland on the Palm Beach peninsula, 40 kilometers from Sydney CBD. On a steep, rocky slope, a lack of stable subsoil presented a landslide risk. The structure needed to be either excavated into rock or built on concrete pier footings drilled into Hawkesbury sandstone strata, sharing space with a council-protected Port Jackson fig tree and other mature trees. With a tight budget, the design needed to be simple to reduce complexity, construction time, and regular site visits.

Meccano套装 – CplusC决定使用部分预制系统,以减少施工时间和成本。我们的施工人员只需将预制的木柱和梁插入三个钢轴节点,然后用螺栓固定,有点像组装一个Meccano套装。没有现场测量,总是有东西不合适的风险。我们对我们的团队在设计和建造方面的精确性和责任感很有信心,我们判断这是一个经过计算的风险。施工完全按计划进行,并在一年内完成。

A Meccano set – CplusC decided to use a partially prefabricated system to reduce construction time and cost. Our builders simply slotted the pre-made timber posts and beam into three steel axis nodes and bolted them in place, a bit like assembling a Meccano set. Without site measures, there’s always a risk that something won’t fit. Confident in our team’s exactitude and accountability for both design and build, we judged it a calculated risk. Construction went exactly as planned and was completed within a year.

设计–在这样一个风景秀丽的地方,要想大展拳脚,欣赏美景,往往需要砍树、挖土、锯石和建造大量的挡墙。CplusC的愿景是保持房子的谦逊和对环境的适应性,并将其骄傲地种植在钻孔的混凝土墩上。这个两室一厅的房子是一个简单的木制结构,漂浮在陡峭的土地上。超大的木柱和木梁与轻盈的屋顶和棚脚形成鲜明对比。广泛的室外露台连接着所有的住宅空间和坐着、放松和聚会的区域。躺在树梢上的货网湾上,人们可以在树冠上喝酒。

The design – The temptation at such a scenic site is to go big to guzzle up the views, often requiring tree lopping, excavation, rock sawing, and extensive retaining wall construction. CplusC’s vision was to keep the house humble and receptive to its environment and to plant it proudly in the ground on bored concrete piers. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom home is a simple timber structure floating above the steep land. Oversized timber columns and beams contrast the lightweight roof and stilt legs. Extensive outdoor decking connects all the home’s spaces and the areas for sitting, relaxing, and gathering. Lying suspended in the treetops on a cargo net bay, people can drink in the canopy.

漂浮在树丛中–登上石阶和螺旋楼梯,你就进入了一个被光线和树叶充斥的、向空气开放的隐秘空间。伴随着鸟叫声,就像在一个树屋里。海滩、码头和皮特沃特村的景象在树叶后面变幻。厨房、起居室、浴室和两间卧室沿着向外的建筑堆叠在一起。由于没有走廊,每当你离开一个房间,你就会置身于大自然中。

Floating among the trees – Ascending the stone stairs and spiral staircase, you enter a secluded space suffused with light and leaves and open to the air. With a soundscape of bird calls, it’s like being in a treehouse. Glimpses of the beach, jetty, and Pittwater village shift behind foliage. The kitchen, living room, bathroom, and two bedrooms are stacked along the outward-looking building. With no hallway, you’re in nature whenever you leave a room.

可持续发展–“Meccano套装 “的设计在减少内含能源方面产生了倍增效应,首先是通过最大限度地减少钢材而使用木材。在场外预制部件减少了材料的运送和废物的收集。简单的施工也减少了建筑商、建筑师和项目经理前往棕榈滩的次数,按照悉尼的标准,棕榈滩被认为是偏远地区。这座房子是由低能耗的低维护材料建造的,主要是木材和波纹铁。精心设计的朝向使阳光常年照射在室内,滑动门和百叶窗提供交叉通风。浴室和灌溉系统使用雨水,并有一个特斯拉汽车充电器。

Sustainable – The ‘Meccano set’ design had a multiplier effect in reducing embodied energy, first by minimizing steel in favor of timber. Pre-fabricating components offsite reduced material deliveries and waste pickups. The simple construction also reduced trips by builders, architects, and project managers to Palm Beach, considered remote by Sydney standards. The house is built from low-maintenance materials with low embodied energy, primarily timber and corrugated iron. Careful orientation brings sunlight inside year round and sliding doors and louvers provide cross-ventilation. Bathrooms and irrigation systems use rainwater, and there’s a Tesla car charger.
