该项目是为一个著名的银匠和QC设计的,要求进行全面的翻新和扩建,以提供一个用餐区和花园房间。这座二级保护建筑位于著名的Colebrook row保护区内。

Intended for a reputable silversmith and QC the brief called for complete renovation and extension to provide a dining area and garden room. This Grade II listed building is located in the prominent Colebrook row conservation area.

该项目被认为是一系列精心插入现有结构中的珠宝盒,该项目开辟了一系列黑暗的不连贯的空间,并使其恢复了活力。木材和混凝土被结合在一个简单的材料调色板上,环绕着现有的结构,邀请用户穿过空间并进入花园。剩余的建筑特征被保留下来,同时后方的增建部分利用了双斜的野花屋顶,将光线反射到楼板深处。

Conceived as a series of jewelled boxes carefully inserted into the existing fabric, the proposals open up and revitalise what was a series of dark disjointed spaces. Timber and concrete have been combined in a simple palette of materials that wrap around the existing fabric, inviting the user through the space and into the garden. The remaining period architectural features are retained and celebrated whilst the rear addition utilises a double canted wildflower roof to bounce light deep into the floor plate.

一个隐藏的花园书房提供了一个沉思的地方,可以俯瞰朝南的庭院花园。可持续发展的苏格兰落叶松软化了插入物的连接处,用木材包裹了扩建部分和花园。木材流进了房子,在餐厅的檐口处铺设了桦木层,然后形成了所有的浮动细木工。一楼的地板是超宽的花旗松木板,在脚下形成一个柔软的表面。

A hidden garden study provides a place of contemplation overlooking the south facing courtyard garden. Sustainable Scottish Larch softens the junctions of the insertion and wraps the extension and garden in timber. The timber flows into the house by lining the dining room soffit in lyed birch ply and then forming all the floating joinery. The floorboards to the ground floor are a super wide board Douglas Fir creating a soft finish under foot.

双斜的野花屋顶为当地的蜜蜂和蝴蝶创造了一个丰富的生物多样性栖息地。垫层是野花和沉香的混合体,在一年中保持屋顶的色彩。屋顶上收集的雨水被输送到花园下面的一个2000升的储水箱中,该储水箱为一个灌溉系统提供水源,在需要时为花园和屋顶浇水。

The double canted wildflower roof creates a rich bio diverse habitat for local bees and butterflies. The matting is a wildflower and sedum mix which maintains colour to the roof throughout the year. The rainwater collected on the roof is carried down to a 2000 litre storage tank beneath the garden, which feeds an irrigation system that waters the garden and the roof when required.

从你进入建筑的那一刻起,树脂/混凝土地板引导你穿过生活空间进入花园。该设计旨在将花园吸入建筑中,并将居住空间推到私人下沉式花园中。

From the moment you enter the building, the resin/concrete floor guides you through the living spaces into the garden. The design intends to suck the garden into the building and push the living space out into the private sunken garden.
