Loader Monteith在苏格兰乡村为一个活跃的家庭推出了一个新家，其特点是采用了引人注目的挤压铝窗框和黑染色落叶松包层。
Loader Monteith has unveiled a new home in the Scottish countryside for an active family characterized by a striking extruded aluminum window frame and black-stained larch cladding.
这座155平方米的新住宅占据了南拉纳克郡一个退休并被分割的奶牛场的一部分。客户最初搬进了现场的固定大篷车，首先建立了他们的马匹租赁业务，随后取得了一个360平方米的巨大新建房屋的规划。2018年，客户被推荐给Loader Monteith，并要求建筑师重新考虑之前批准的计划，为蓬勃发展的马厩的日常运作打造一个实用的、社会化的家庭基地。
The new 155 square-meter home occupies part of a retired and subdivided dairy farm in South Lanarkshire. The clients initially moved into a static caravan on site to first establish their horse livery business and subsequently achieved planning for a vast 360 square meter new build home. In 2018, the clients were referred to Loader Monteith and briefed the architects to rethink the previously approved plans to craft a practical, social family base for the day-to-day runnings of the flourishing horse stables.
Loader Monteith首先减少了住宅的占地面积，设计了一个高度可用的紧凑型平面图，该平面图分为两层，具有所需的四间卧室、舒适的空间、开放式厨房和起居室，以及有盖的室外区域。新的布局设计是为了最大限度地扩大25英亩农场的视野，沿东立面的大窗户提供了不间断的南拉纳克郡山谷的视野。
Loader Monteith first reduced the home’s footprint, designing a highly usable compact floor plan set over two stories featuring the required four bedrooms, snug, open plan kitchen and living, and covered outdoor area. The new layout was designed to maximize views over the 25-acre farm, with large windows along the East elevations offering uninterrupted vistas across the South Lanarkshire valley beyond.
开放式厨房、起居室和用餐空间通过一个大型的三层玻璃窗座感受到景观的一部分，该窗座略微超出了平面图，并由一个红色的铝框界定。这个建筑细节的特点是倾斜的倒角边缘，让更多的自然光进入，并创造出更长的向天空的视野。Loader Monteith将这个框架包裹在东南角，创造了一个令人满意的立方体外墙，与二楼的有盖户外露台整齐划一。
The open-plan kitchen, living room, and dining space feel part of the landscape through a large triple-glazed window seat, set slightly out of the floor plan and defined by a red aluminum frame. This architectural detail features sloping chamfered edges to allow more natural light in, and create longer skywards views. Loader Monteith wrapped this frame around the southeastern corner, creating a satisfying, cubic facade that neatly lines with the covered outdoor terrace on the second floor.
卧室、家庭浴室和一个有顶棚的天井占据了第二层。为了充分利用早晨的阳光，天井被设计成一个安静的地方，在无框玻璃栏杆的保护下，可以欣赏到风景。向东倾斜的视野也为客户及其周围的邻居提供了高度的私密性；附近的六座住宅占据了分割后的农场，因此建筑师设计了俯瞰客户自己土地的大开窗，在流通空间的小窗户吸引更多的自然光，但不提供外面的视野。
Bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an undercover patio occupy the second story. Oriented East to make the most of the morning sun, the patio was conceived as a quiet place to survey the landscape, protected by a frameless glass balustrade. Angling views towards the East also offers the clients and their surrounding neighbors a high level of privacy; six residential dwellings in close proximity occupy the subdivided farm, so the architects designed large apertures overlooking the client’s own land, with smaller windows in circulation spaces to draw more natural light in, but not provide views out.
Loader Monteith为该项目引入了节能系统，以符合工作室对可持续发展的严格要求。马屋得益于空气源热泵、高度绝缘的外壳、三层玻璃和地板采暖。可持续耕作的黑松木覆盖层和白色渲染保护了外部，顶部是一个回收的铝制屋顶。
Loader Monteith introduced energy-efficient systems to the project in line with the studio’s rigorous approach to sustainability. The Equine House benefits from an Air Source Heat Pump, highly insulated shell, triple glazing, and underfloor heating. Sustainably farmed black larch cladding and white render protect the exterior, topped by a recycled aluminum roof.
