在菲斯特尔湾的锯齿状海岸线上,一座新的住宅坐落在滨海路悬崖上的分层露台花园之上。作为客户的家和工作场所,这栋三层楼的建筑是一个用最小的调色板进行创新的项目。

On the serrated coastline of Fistral Bay, a new residence sits on top of a tiered terrace garden on the cliffs of Esplanade Road. As the clients’ home and workspace, the three-story building is a project in being inventive with a minimal palette.

这座房子有一个单坡度的锌屋顶,没有被污染,而且是明亮的轧制。为了向以前的屋顶线致敬,外墙被一条惊人的水平 “plimsoll “线所分割。它将低层的毛坯房和上面的光滑的泥浆房分开。整体性和适度的材料,有质感的石灰与银色金属的渲染,意在成为英国海滨建筑的精髓。

The house has a single-pitch zinc roof, untainted and bright-rolled. Paying homage to the former roofline, the facade is demarcated by a staggering horizontal ‘plimsoll’ line. It separates the roughcast render at lower levels from the smooth render above. Monolithic and modest in material, the textured lime rendered with silver metals intends to be a refinement of British seaside architecture.

倾斜的地形影响了场地的平面设计。雕塑般的胶合板楼梯从底层通向楼上的主要生活空间,带来自然光和连接。长长的钢梁与裸露的檐口使4米高的居住空间周围的景色一览无余,从海的地平线到朝南的后花园的草坪。带屋顶灯的放映室和图书馆在顶层提供了一个阅读和放松的亲密环境。

The sloping terrain informs the floorplan of the site. The sculptural plywood stairs leading from the ground floor bring natural light and connection to the main living space upstairs. Long steel beams with an exposed soffit allow for unobstructed views around the 4m-high living space, and from the horizon of the sea to the lawn of the south-facing back garden. The screening room and library with a roof light offer an intimate setting to read and relax on the top floor.

设计理念是利用日常的装置和物品来创造一些特别的东西—将功利和工业美学的质量灌输到家庭环境中。在内部,房子通过采用裸露的混凝土块来庆祝当地的材料,揭示了该地区石匠的美。通过裸露的镀锌管道、管道系统和工业灯具,该建筑真实地反映了为其提供动力的未经修饰的基础设施。

The brief was to use everyday fixtures and objects to create something special – instilling the quality of the utilitarian and industrial aesthetic into a domestic setting. Internally, the house celebrates local materials by featuring bare concrete blocks, revealing the beauty in the stonemasonry of the region. With exposed galvanized conduits, ductwork, and industrial light fittings, the architecture is truthful to the unembellished infrastructure that powers it.
