Meco车轮上的小房子项目的出发点是建立一个多功能和 “有趣 “的房子,客户和他们的孩子都可以享受一个舒适的工作空间,同时也可以刺激孩子们玩耍。遵循客户的意愿,表达这个 “有趣 “的想法,使其融入到房子的总体构思中,也融入到最微小的细节中。除了布局和美学设计,客户还希望他们的房子能作为一个离网系统,必须考虑大量的空间用于技术设置。

The starting point for the Meco Tiny House on Wheels project was the idea of a versatile and “fun” house where both the clients and their kids could enjoy a comfortable working space but also stimulate the children to play. Following the client’s will of expressing this idea of “fun” made it become incorporated into the general idea of the house but also in its most minor details. Besides the layout and aesthetical design, the clients also wished their house to work as an off-grid system which has to consider a significant amount of space destined for its technical setup.

项目的第一个决定是玩弄屋顶的坡度,让我们想起典型的屋檐式木屋,但用不同的动作来引起游客的好奇心。同样的游戏行为通过不同大小和间隔的外墙模式显示出来。钢制的圆窗,一个在房子的中央空间,另一个在它的上部,被自然地选择,因为它们创造了曲线和光的入口,粗糙的钢被选择作为平衡空间的光的氛围的一种方式,但仍然有娱乐的元素。

The first project decision was to play with the roof´s pitches to remind us of the typical gable roof wooden house but with a different movement to arouse the visitor´s curiosity. The same playful act shows itself through the façades patterns that dislocate themselves in different sizes and spacings. The round windows in steel, one in the central space of the house and another one on its upper part are chosen naturally because of the curves and light entrances that they create, the steel with a rough finish is selected as a way to balance the light ambiance of the spaces with a heavy but still entertaining element.

在室内,房子由两间卧室组成,一个长长的台面为厨房和办公区服务,一个带洗脸盆的步入式衣橱,以及一个小浴缸房间的入口。较低的卧室从地面抬高,形成一个外部技术区,这对任何想去的房子来说真的很重要。电池、变频器、太阳能电池板和热水器是任何这种类型的项目中必须适合的一些元素。由于它的位置,这个卧室也承担着社会角色,而高级卧室则允许更多的隐私和对孩子的保护。在这个项目中,不同的楼层使孩子们能够更直接地参与到日常活动中,并确保房子里有一种游戏的活力。所选择的材料也加强了 “乐趣 “的概念,桦木胶合板用其脉络的图画来表达运动,而黄色的福美来给室内带来了光和亮,暗示了一个快乐的环境。

In the interior, the house is composed of two bedrooms, a long countertop that serves the kitchen and the office area, a walk-in closet with a wash basin, and an entrance to a small bathtub room. The lower bedroom is elevated from the ground creating an external technical area which is really important for any house that wants to go. Batteries, inverters, solar panels, and water boilers are some of the elements that have to fit inside any project of this type. Because of its position, this bedroom also takes on a social role, while the superior bedroom allows more privacy and protection for the kids. The different levels that are found thru-out this project allow the kids to have a more direct presence in everyday activities and ensure a playful dynamic in the house. The materials chosen also reinforce the idea of “fun”, birch plywood expresses movement with the drawings of its veins while the yellow Formica brings light and brightness to the inside suggesting a joyful environment.
