这是一个位于拐角处的独栋别墅,它占据了一个先前存在的小仓库的内部,该仓库以前是一个织布车间。仓库的严重性和内向性被用来作为对非常接近的城市的保护。

It’s a single family home located on a corner lot that occupies the interior of a small pre-existing warehouse, which previously accommodated a weaving workshop. The warehouse in its severity and introversion is utilized as protection from a very proximate urbanity.

当时,我们对William Kentdrige在他的一些舞蹈作品中如何调整他的身体,使之成为另一种东西感兴趣,这个主题在他的雕刻作品中也非常反复出现。与这个前提相关,为了在与其他功能相关的仓库中产生疏离的效果,房子是通过引入一个异物来建造的,这个异物占据了房子,塑造了内部,并垂直生长,直到作为一个奇怪的物体在屋顶上变得可见。 这样做的结果是在被重新标识的仓库所统治的严酷外表和流动的内部之间形成了强烈的对比,其部分被解决为一个自主和内敛的世界。

At that time, we were interested in how William Kentdrige, on some of his choreographies, adapts his body to configure it into something else, a theme also very recurring in his engravings. Related to this premise and to produce an estrangement effect in the warehouse associated with other function, the house is constructed through the introduction of a foreign body that occupies it, shapes the interior and grows vertically until becoming visible over the rooftop as a strange object. The result from this, is a strong contrast between a severe exterior ruled by the re signified warehouse and a flowing interior which section is resolved as an autonomous and introverted world.

底层是用来容纳公共空间的–客厅、餐厅、厨房–是完全自由的,并通向位于后面的室内庭院。这层楼的特点是只有一根孤独的倒V形柱子和通往地面的楼梯。中层是罗拉的卧室和一个工作室,被组织成两个臂膀,支撑在前面提到的柱子上,在一个明显的双重高度空间序列中俯瞰底层。上层包含父母的卧室,位于现有仓库的墙壁上,并通向作为花园的屋顶露台。这三层由一个连续的木制楼梯连接,其纪念性与房屋的小规模形成鲜明对比。

The ground floor destined to accommodate the common spaces –living room, dining room, kitchen- is left completely free and opens to an interior patio located at the back. This floor is characterized solely by a lonely inverted V shaped pillar and the landing of the staircase to the ground. The mid-level, which QUARTERS Lola’s bedroom and a studio, is organized as two arms supported on the previously mentioned pillar looking over the ground floor in a marked sequence of double height spaces. The upper level, which contains the parent’s bedroom, rests over the walls of the existent warehouse and opens to a rooftop terrace which serves as a garden. The three levels are linked by a continuous staircase made of wood that in its monumentality contrasts with the small scale of the house.

从外面看,仓库的粗糙石膏墙与突出屋顶的黑色体量形成对比。

From the outside the rough plastered walls of the warehouse contrast with the black volume that protrudes over the roof.
