我们受委托为一个家庭设计一栋新的两居室,位于都柏林郡郊区的一个角落。该建筑的设计反映了相邻房屋的形式。它尊重住宅区的前后建筑线,同时将现有的边界墙纳入底层规划中。该建筑是由一个木制框架结构建成的,在3天内就完成了。西伯利亚落叶松包覆的外部也反映了这一点。

We were commissioned to design a new 2-bed house, for a family, on a corner site, in a suburban estate in county Dublin. The design of the building reflects the form of the adjacent houses. It respects the front and rear building lines of the housing estate, whilst incorporating the existing boundary wall, in the ground floor plan. The building is constructed from a timber frame structure, which was erected in 3 days. This is reflected externally by the Siberian larch cladding that wraps the exterior.

落叶松覆层提供了隐私,并将南方的光线过滤到室内。阴影在室内舞动,说明了一天的流逝,给房子的居住者带来了一种发现的感觉,因为它日复一日地让你感到高兴和惊喜。落叶松覆盖层漂浮在地面上,在房子的周边上下移动,因为它与边界墙接触。在内部,底层布局通过使用下沉式餐饮区和位于中央的家具单元,在三层高的空隙空间下面,进行了巧妙的划分。

The larch cladding provides privacy and filters southern light into the interior. Shadows dance around the interior illustrating the passing of the day and bringing a sense of discovery to the occupants of the house, as it continues to delight and surprise you day after day. The larch cladding floats above the ground and maneuvers up and down around the perimeter of the house, as it comes in contact with the boundary walls. Internally the ground floor layout is subtly divided by the use of a sunken dining area and a centrally located fitted furniture unit, below the triple-height void space.

这些空间划分机制确保每个空间都是独立的、舒适的,同时也允许它们之间有视觉上的联系。一面胶合板墙贯穿整个底层,掩盖了功利性的空间。楼梯、浴室、杂物间和厨房单元都隐藏在平坦的胶合板墙内。与此相反,原始的混凝土地板贯穿整个底层,并下降450毫米到用餐区,在其周围创造了一个多用途的壁架,用于坐和展示物品。

These space dividing mechanisms ensure that each of the spaces is separate and cozy, whilst at the same time allowing for visual links between them. A plywood wall runs the length of the ground floor concealing the utilitarian spaces. The stairs, bathroom, utility room, and kitchen units are concealed within the flush plywood wall. In contrast to this, a raw concrete floor runs throughout the ground floor and drops down 450mm into the dining area, creating a multipurpose ledge around its perimeter, for sitting and showcasing objects.

楼上的两间卧室通过一个屋檐下的采光窗和三层高的空间隔开,内衬胶合板。这将温暖的日光反射到下面的室内,允许不同楼层之间的视觉连接,并在空隙中创造了一个非正式的休闲空间,可以坐着看云朵飘过。

Upstairs the two bedrooms are separated via an eaves roof light window and triple-height space, lined with plywood. This bounces warm daylight into the interior below, allows for visual connections between the different floors and creates an informal hang-out space in the void to sit and watch the clouds drift by.
