坐落在温哥华北岸山脚下的Bridge House代表了一个地区对现代美学的适应,将西海岸的感觉融入其简洁的现代设计。

Sitting at the foot of Vancouver’s North Shore mountains the Bridge House represents a regional adaptation to a modern aesthetic by incorporating a West Coast sensibility into its clean modern design.

温哥华北岸跨越了海岸山脉的荒野和温哥华这个大都市之间的界限。桥屋以其西海岸的现代表达方式,隐喻了这两个世界之间的关系。

The North Shore of Vancouver straddles the line between the wilderness of the coast mountains and the metropolis that is Vancouver. The Bridge House metaphorically spans between these two worlds with its West Coast contemporary expression.

桥屋之所以被称为桥屋,是因为它有一座从后院延伸到房屋的戏剧性桥梁。建筑场地从房子的前面到后院上升了一整层。客户希望从主楼进入房屋的前部,并希望在这个层面上与后院保持联系。这就需要在房子旁边创造一个下沉的后院,人们担心这会造成与后院较高部分的脱节。这种对地势的挑战成为项目的灵感来源。

The Bridge House was given its name because of a dramatic bridge that extends from the rear yard to the house. The building site rises a whole floor level from the front of the house to the rear yard. The client wanted to enter the front of the home on the main floor at grade and wanted to maintain a connection at this level to the rear yard as well. This would require creating a sunken rear yard adjacent to the house and the concern was that this would create a disconnection to the higher part of the rear yard beyond. This challenge of grade became the inspiration for the project.

我们建议用一座桥作为戏剧性的建筑元素,在物理上和视觉上将住宅的上层与后院连接起来,同时还为桥下的户外区域提供充足的空间。这座桥进入并穿过住宅,成为住宅内的中央楼梯和流通的主干。

We proposed a bridge as a dramatic architectural element that would both physically and visually connect the upper level of the home to the rear yard while still providing ample space for an outdoor area beneath it. The bridge carries into and through the home becoming the central stair and the spine of circulation within the house.

整个住宅使用了木材,以保持温暖的感觉和与周围森林的联系。房子从混凝土的基座上升到二楼的木头和瑞士珍珠的外墙板。一个大的绿色屋顶覆盖了大部分的屋顶表面,为住宅内外的观众呈现了一个自然的背景。

Wood is used throughout the home to maintain a sense of warmth and connection to the surrounding forest. The house rises from a base of the board from concrete to a second floor clad in wood and Swisspearl facade panels. A large green roof covers much of the roof surface and presents a natural backdrop for viewers within and beyond the home.

桥屋尊重现代建筑的信条,同时融入了西海岸现代美学的明显区域元素。

The Bridge House pays respect to the tenets of modern architecture while incorporating distinctly regional elements of a West Coast contemporary aesthetic.
