在瑞士的阿尔卑斯山,建筑师拉尔夫-赫尔曼将一个传统的谷仓变成了一个明亮的住宅。在保留下来的巨大石墙后面,他设想了一个沐浴在自然光下的明亮的室内环境。

In the Swiss Alps, architect Ralph Germann turns a traditional barn into a luminous residence. Behind the monumental stone walls that have remained intact, he envisions a bright interior bathed in natural light.

一开始,这座1854年的巨大建筑给人留下深刻印象。它承载着时间的痕迹:四代人见证了它从干草仓到马厩,再到葡萄酒仓库的演变。1950年,这个家族财产增加了一个木制的扩展部分。随着新篇章的开启,业主和建筑师达成共识:令人印象深刻的石头外墙必须被保留下来。

At first, the massive 1854 building impresses. It bears the marks of time: four generations have seen it evolved from hay barn to stable, and then to wine storage. In 1950, a wooden extension is added to the family property. As a new chapter opens, the owner and architect agree: the impressive stone facade has to be preserved.

拉尔夫-赫尔曼强调了原始建筑的矿物特性,并对体积进行了处理,给它们一个新的视角。在这个令人惊叹的石头外壳中,他小心翼翼地放置了一个木制和玻璃的立方体,并把它变成一个现代的生活空间。新刷的木材框架上的令人惊叹的景色赋予了室内一种永恒的气氛。

Highlighting the mineral character of the original construction, Ralph Germann plays with volumes, giving them a new perspective. In this stunning stone shell, he carefully places a wooden and glass cube and turns it into a contemporary living space. The breathtaking view on the freshly brushed timber frame confers to the interior a timeless atmosphere.

从入口大厅,一个混凝土楼梯通向上层,可以直接进入主房间和阳台。在两个时代之间的完美平衡中,新建筑的极简主义诱惑力增强了旧建筑的原始方面。赋予地方和材料以新的生命,建筑师利用老谷仓的木板为厨房和卧室设计了定制的家具。在其中一个书架上,一个可移动的面板揭开了客厅和浴室之间的口子,在享受放松的沐浴时可以看到壁炉。

From the entrance hall, a concrete staircase leads to the upper floor, with direct access to the main room and the terrace. In perfect balance between the two eras, the minimalist allure of the new construction enhances the raw aspect of the old building. Giving a new life to the place and the material, the architect uses the wooden boards of the old barn to design bespoke furniture for the kitchen and the bedroom. In one of the bookshelves, a movable panel unveils an opening between the living room and the bathroom to enjoy a relaxing bath with a view of the fireplace.

在整个白天和一年中,自然光根据大自然的节奏来塑造空间。除了谷仓原有的狭窄窗户外,屋顶上还开了四个漏洞,以便将天顶的光线引入。这种微妙的光线被考虑到最小的细节。即使是夕阳也被雕刻的百叶窗漂亮地过滤了。”有一种音乐感。光线点缀着空间,在高潮中振动。”,业主赞赏道。

Throughout the day and the year, natural light shapes the space according to the rhythm of nature. In addition to the original narrow windows of the barn, four loopholes are pierced in the roof in order to bring zenithal light in. The subtle light is thought down to the smallest detail. Even the setting sun is beautifully filtered by a carved shutter. “There is something musical. The light punctuates the space, vibrates in crescendo.”, appreciates the owner.
