L+C房屋位于连接马翁港海滨和市中心的一条街道上。这些渔舍排成一排,每间都有一个底层和一个大地块,可以追溯到上世纪上半叶。它们是简单而简陋的住所,后面有一个供业主个人使用的菜园。

L+C house is located in a street connecting the waterfront of Mahón Harbour with the center of town. Set in a line and each with a ground floor and a large plot, these fishing cottages date back to the first half of the last century. They were simple and humble abodes, with a vegetable garden in the back for the owners’ personal use.

我们从一开始就被这个项目吸引住了,因为业主是一对年轻的、有创造力的夫妇,他们对这个在法规和整体建筑表面方面有很大潜力的地块的新想法完全开放。这种组合使我们想出了一些不同寻常的想法,首先是一楼和一楼,然后是一楼和车库。最后,我们同意将所有的努力集中在实现一个良好的布局上,只在一个层面上,并摆脱了停车区。

We were hooked on the project right from the start, as the owners were a young, creative couple who were totally open to new ideas for a plot with lots of potential with regard to regulations and overall building surface. This combination led us to come up with some unusual ideas, starting with a ground floor and a first floor, followed by a ground floor and a garage. In the end, we agreed to focus all our efforts on achieving one good layout on just one level and getting rid of the parking area.

然后,我们开始建造这个底层,同时保持原有立面的外观,并更加注重纵向部分。我们利用建筑法规允许我们提高天花板高度的优势,以确保空间质量,同时也实施了在所有房间引入阳光和通风的明确目标。

We then proceeded to build this ground floor while maintaining the aspect of the original façade, and with more focus on the longitudinal section. We took advantage of the building regulations allowing us an elevated ceiling height to ensure the quality of space and also implemented the clear objective of introducing sunlight and ventilation in all the rooms.

这一方向的改变改变了一切:我们在房子的重要区域获得了隐私,并真正增强了财产。我们不再需要将卧室面向街道,而是将其移到一楼的中心位置,次要的房间在前立面边上创造了一个 “缓冲 “效果,以阻隔噪音和路人的目光。其结果是,要进入厨房和起居室/餐厅区域,你要穿过一个长长的通道,里面有整合的存储空间,逐渐吸引你进入下一个部分:一系列不同高度的空间,不同的形状以各种方式照亮它们。

This change of direction changed everything: we gained privacy in the important areas of the house and really enhanced the property. We no longer had to locate the bedroom facing the street, moving it into the center of the ground floor instead, with the secondary rooms by the front façade creating a “cushion” effect to block off both noise and passers‐by looking in. The result is that to access the kitchen and living/dining area, you walk through a long passage with incorporated storage space that gradually draws you into the next section: a series of spaces of different heights, with different shapes lighting them up in various ways.

这种效果对我们的客户来说变得同样重要,对我们来说也是如此。我们把它夸大了一些,让主立面既朴素又像以前一样,只是作为模板面板,没有显示出新的内部。缝隙仍然在同一个地方,可怕的电缆也是如此……一切都一样。我们做的唯一一件事是在墙上添加颜色,以分散走过的人的注意力。

This effect became as important to our clients as it was to us. We exaggerated it a bit more by leaving the main façade both plain and as it had formerly been, acting as nothing more than as formwork panels that reveal nothing of the new interior. The gaps are still in the same place, as is the horrendous cabling… it’s all just the same. The only thing we did was add color to the wall to distract anyone walking past.

一个宽敞的院子,一个小水池,以及北侧现有的菜园,使该房产更加完整。我们实现了一个基于底层长度的房子,专门为这对年轻而富有创造力的夫妇定制,他们有着开放的思想和大量的想法,将其作为一个永久的远程工作基地和居住和享受的家。

A generous courtyard, a small pool, and the existing vegetable garden on the north side complete the property. We achieved a house that is based on the length of the ground floor, specially customized for this young and creative couple with their open minds and host of ideas to combine as a permanent teleworking base and home to live in and enjoy.
