亚历山大-马丁建筑事务所为萨里郡克莱门的一个年轻家庭完成了一栋新房子，它以现代形式重新诠释了周围的艺术和工艺美学。客户寻求对该地块的创新回应，因此该房屋采用现代建筑方法迅速建成，用简单、坚固的材料创造出优雅的内部和外部，重新定义了对郊区建筑的期望。
Alexander Martin Architects has completed a new house for a young family in Claygate, Surrey which reinterprets the surrounding Arts & Crafts aesthetic with a contemporary form. The client sought an innovative response to the site and so the house was rapidly built using modern methods of construction, with simple, robust materials used to create an elegant interior and exterior, redefining the aspirations for suburban architecture.
新的建筑取代了以前占据巨大的三角形地块的20世纪20年代的小房子，它位于道路的拐弯处。建筑师能够利用这种形状，创造了两个倾斜的体量，并由一个双高的中央部分连接。屋顶线反映了邻近的房产，但外墙和垂直带选择了淡淡的水红色砖，清楚地标志着这所房子与周围环境的区别。大窗户将光线引入建筑的前部和后部，巨大的推拉门提供了通往花园的通道。
The new building replaces a smaller 1920s house that previously occupied the sizeable triangular plot, sitting on the bend in the road. The architects were able to take advantage of this shape and have created two pitched volumes that are joined by a double-height central section. The roofline mirrors the neighboring properties but the selection of a pale buff brick for the outer walls and vertical banding clearly marks this house out from the surrounding context. Large windows bring light into the front and rear of the building, with substantial sliding doors providing access to the garden.
在内部，业主希望采用单色调，这一点已经通过裸露的混凝土地板、熏黑的钢制楼梯和黑色贴面的细木工制品来实现，从而呈现出一种强烈而简约的外观。然后用浴室里的大理石和柔和的室内家具来平衡。丰富的材料构成呈现出一种永恒的品质，因此是一个平静的生活背景。
Internally, a monochrome palette was desired by the owners, which has been achieved with exposed concrete floors, a blackened steel staircase, and black veneered joinery to give a strong yet minimalist look. This is then balanced with marble used in the bathrooms and softer interior furnishings. The rich composition of materials presents a timeless quality and therefore a calm backdrop in which to live.
场外木结构被用作结构的主要手段，以确保在现场快速建造。结构性绝缘板（SIP）在最短的时间内被组装起来，并在几周内被架设起来。空气源热泵被用来创造一种更环保的供暖方式，并为家庭提供未来的保障。
Off-site timber construction was used as the primary means of structure, to ensure a quick build on site. Structurally insulated panels (SIP) were assembled within a minimum of fuss and erected within a matter of weeks. An air-source heat pump is employed to create a much more environmentally friendly form of heating and future-proof the home for the family.
亚历山大-马丁说：”我们的客户从一开始就很清楚，他们不想要一个普通的房子，他们准备在郊区做一些大胆的事情。然而，设计和材料都经过精心安排，创造了一系列最能满足家庭需要的空间，同时还保持了优雅的外观。”
Alexander Martin said, “Our client was clear from the outset that they didn’t want a run-of-the-mill house and that they were prepared to do something bold in the suburbs. However, the design and materials have all been carefully orchestrated to create a series of spaces that best serve the needs of the family while still maintaining an elegant appearance.”
