我们受雇于一对年轻夫妇,对客户祖父建造的房子进行全面翻新,现在是同一家族的第三代居住。他们想把现有的两套公寓合并成两层的单一家庭住宅。他们的要求是,我们要创造一些现代和明亮的东西。由于房子前面有一条嘈杂的街道,主要的生活空间被放置在后面,面向北方,造成了将阳光直接引入这些空间的挑战。双层高的采光井顶部有一个天窗,有助于将光线带到房子的中心。

We were hired by a young couple to do a complete renovation of a house built by the clients grandfather, now housing its third generation of the same family. They wanted to combine the two existing apartments into a single family house on two levels. Their request was that we created something modern and bright. Due to the noisy street at the front of the house, the main living spaces were placed at the back facing north creating the challenge of bringing direct sunlight into these spaces. A double height lightwell topped with a skylight, aids in bringing light to the center of the house.

在底层,一堵半透明的推拉板墙保护居住空间不受来自街道的不必要的注视,并在冬天作为一个前庭使用。一个胶合板扶手环绕着楼梯,并在底部折叠成为餐桌的长凳。两根相交的钢条悬挂在餐桌上方,既是一个雕塑元素,又是用餐区的直接和间接照明。一个简单的托盘统一了房子周围的定制家具;折叠的钢板、白色的木架和俄罗斯胶合板。一个有角度的白色钢管的游戏支撑着餐桌、厨房岛和玻璃扶手。最终的结果是谦逊和舒适的,每个物体都自然地落在了一起。

On the ground floor, a wall of translucent sliding panels protects the living spaces from unwanted gazes from the street as well as acting as a vestibule in winter. A plywood handrail wraps around the stair and folds at the base becoming a long bench for the dining table. Two intersecting steel bars are suspended over the dining table acting as both a sculptural element and the direct and indirect lighting for the dining area. A simple pallet unifies the custom furniture around the house; folded steel plates, white wooden shelves, and russian plywood. A play of angled white steel tubes supports the dining table, the kitchen island, and a glass handrail. The final result is humble and cosy, with each object falling naturally into place.
