德克萨斯州奥斯汀市Chioco Design的负责人Jamie Chioco有机会设计他和他妻子的个人住宅。这座两居室的住宅于2019年完工,位于奥斯汀东部的樱桃木社区。拥有该房产十六年的Chioco曾住在该社区典型的50年代的房子里,2017年决定从头开始。这对夫妇决定将这个750平方英尺的房子搬迁到大约两英里外的新地点。毕竟,这是一个完全好的房子,不需要去填埋场。事实证明,设计一个人的家是一个有趣的过程。经过这些年的生活,对场地的评估变得更加容易。

Jamie Chioco, principal at Chioco Design in Austin, Texas had the opportunity to design his and his wife’s personal residence. Completed in 2019, the two-bedroom home is located in the East Austin neighborhood of Cherrywood. Chioco, who has owned the property for sixteen years had lived in a 1950’s house typical to the neighborhood and in 2017 decided to start from scratch. The couple decided to relocate the 750 square foot home to a new location about two miles away. After all, it was a perfectly good house that didn’t need to go to the landfill. Designing one’s personal home proved to be an interesting process. After all those years of living on the property, it was easier to assess the site.

最终,正是这种对项目需要包括的内容的更深入的理解,使设计获得了成功。方向、公共与私人主题、规模和比例都已经考虑了很多年。以前自制的决定对新家的不足之处非常明显。自然光、开放的生活区,以及与场地相关的需要是优先考虑的问题。该住宅有四个定制的14英尺高的角窗。

Ultimately, it was this deeper understanding of what the program needed to include that made for a successful design. Orientation, public vs. private topics, scale, and proportion had all been considered for years. The inadequacies of the previous homemade decisions for the new home very apparent. Natural light, open living areas, and the need to relate to the site were the priorities. The home features four custom fabricated fourteen-foot-tall corner windows.

这些窗户最大限度地扩大了景观和房屋的视野。量子公司生产的四套木制滑动门使景观和自然光水平得到了提高。该计划基本上是两个重叠的矩形,在角落里相遇并连接(参考计划图)。在这个连接处是通过两组滑动门的主入口。

These windows maximize the views out into the landscape and through the house. Adding to that and natural light levels are four sets of wood sliding doors made by Quantum. The plan is essentially two overlapping rectangles that meet and connect in the corners (ref. plan drawing). At this connection is the main entry through two sets of sliding doors.

奇奥科不希望从正面进入,而是希望通过一个私人庭院接近入口。正面 “门实际上位于住宅的中心。走近一看,滑动门系统的透明度显示出一种穿过房屋并进入后院和游泳池区域的分层效果。材料保持简单和编辑。

Instead of entering at the front façade Chioco wanted to approach the entrance through a private courtyard. The “front” door is actually situated in the center of the home. Upon approach, the transparency of the sliding door systems reveals a layered effect through the house and into the back yard and pool area. The materials are kept simple and edited.

外墙全部采用温暖的米色模块砖,除了围住入口院子的Ipe屏风墙和住宅最后面的储藏室的西部红杉。整个地面混凝土地板有助于模糊从里到外的界限。所有的木制品和墙板都是垂直纹理的白橡木。白色大理石被用于台面、后挡板,并作为初级浴室和步入式淋浴间的主要元素。在厨房和浴室中也有一些瓷砖的装饰。

The exterior facades are entire of a warm beige modular brick with the exception of the Ipe screen walls that enclose the entry courtyard and the western red cedar on the storage room at the rearmost part of the home. Ground concrete floors throughout help to blur the lines from inside to out. All the millwork and wall panels are of vertical grain White Oak. White marble was used for countertops, backsplashes and as a major element in the Primary bathroom and walk-in shower. There are also some tile accents in the mix in the kitchen and bathrooms.

在不到2000平方英尺的面积上,由于深思熟虑的规划,这个家给人的感觉和生活都大得多。入口处的庭院和有顶的天井和游泳池被认为是室内空间的延伸,创造了户外的房间。当奥斯汀的天气允许时,整个房子可以打开,形成一个真正的无障碍的室内外体验。

At just under 2000 square feet the home feels and lives much larger due to thoughtful planning. The entry courtyard and the covered patio and pool are perceived as extensions of the interior spaces, creating outdoor rooms. When the Austin weather permits, the entire home can open up making for a true unencumbered indoor-outdoor experience.
