一个年轻的家庭最近在斯托克-纽宁顿买了一栋维多利亚风格的房子,他们找到了nimtim公司。这栋房子年久失修,他们优先考虑升级改造,创造一个开放式的底层家庭空间。现有的倾斜式温室被拆除,以便进行新的侧面扩建。 Nimtim在房子的中心引入了一个双层高度的内部庭院,一边是玻璃砖墙,上面有一个开放的屋顶灯。

nimtim were approached by a young family who had recently bought an end-of-terrace Victorian house in Stoke Newington. The house was in a state of disrepair and priority was placed on upgrading and creating an open plan ground floor family space. The existing lean-to conservatory was demolished to allow for a new side extension. Nimtim introduced a double height internal courtyard to the center of the house with a glass block wall to one side and an opening roof light above.

这个空间作为整个房子的焦点,组织和编排了周围的空间:为房子的某些部分带来光线和通风,否则这些部分可能是黑暗和不通风的。庭院的表达方式不同;借用花园的材料将其与生活空间区分开来,加强其作为一个概念性外部空间的身份。成本效益高且坚固的材料,通常与工业建筑而非家庭建筑相关,被用来创造一种温暖和轻盈的品质。

This space acts as a focal point for the entire house, organizing and choreographing the spaces around it: bringing light and ventilation to the parts of the house that might otherwise be dark and airless. The courtyard is expressed differently; borrowing materials from the garden to distinguish it from the living spaces, reinforcing its identity as a conceptually external space. Cost effective and robust materials, more often associated with industrial rather than domestic architecture, are used to create a quality of warmth and lightness.

扩建部分的结构墙都是用灰色的水泥砖建造的,外面是哑光的,里面是抛光的。喷砂的玻璃砖在内部形成漫射光,强调了空间的半透明性。这些在夜间从内部照明的空间发光,照亮并打破了暴露的侧翼墙。欧洲橡木地板、赤土砖和柔和的粉色混凝土厨房台面也为室内空间增加了温暖和空灵的品质。

The structural walls of the extension are all built in grey cement block with exposed aggregates – matte on the outside and polished internally. The sand-blasted glass blocks create a diffused light internally and emphasize the translucency of the space. These glow at night from the internally lit space, illuminating and breaking up the exposed side flank wall. European Oak flooring, terracotta tiles, and the soft pink concrete kitchen worktops also add warmth and an ethereal quality to the interior space.

对比性材料的使用,如地板使用的橡木和赤土的泥土质地,以及围护结构使用的玻璃和抛光混凝土块等轻盈明亮的材料,共同构成了一个和谐的现代调色板。在后部,一个大型的固定式推拉门使后立面的大部分向新花园开放。该项目创造了一个新的家庭住宅,在材料的使用上大胆而诚实,同时保留了客户和他们年幼的孩子所接受的温暖和家庭的感觉。

Use of contrasting materials, such as the earthy texture of the oak and terracotta used for the floor and light bright materials, such as glass and polished concrete blocks used for the envelope, work together to form a harmonious and contemporary palette. At the rear, a large face-fixed sliding door allows most of the rear elevation to open out onto the new garden. The project has created a new family home that is bold and honest in its use of materials whilst retaining a sense of warmth and domesticity which the clients and their young children have embraced.
