阿泰尔耶-索塔玛设计的 “陨石 “是一座住宅建筑，位于芬兰东部看似偏远的孔蒂奥拉赫蒂。徒步穿过树林–正如建筑师所希望的那样–它在树林中看起来是一个神秘的黑暗物体。然而，这座超现代、生态的三层木制建筑的内部是另一个世界，是与周围景观融为一体的开放的相互连接的房间。
‘Meteorite’ designed by Ateljé Sotamaa is a residential building located in seemingly remote Kontiolahti in eastern Finland. Approached on foot through the woods – as preferred by the architect – it appears a mystical dark object among the trees. The inside of this ultra-modern, ecological, three-storey wood building, however, is another world of open interconnected rooms that integrate with the surrounding landscape.
在多面体形状的陨石中间，有一个高大的中庭，上面有一个10平方米的大天窗，可以毫无遮挡地看到星星。房子的另一个独特之处在于一个高度为7米的双体船网，住户可以在上面 “漂浮”，以激发创造性思维。陨石是由预制交叉层压木材（CLT）板制成的，它通过空气绝缘，并使用自然通风。在赫尔辛基设计周期间，在赫尔辛基奥林匹克体育场举办的展览中，首次向公众介绍了这一将近60吨二氧化碳捕捉到材料中的建筑。
In the middle of the polyhedron-shaped Meteorite, a tall atrium with a large 10 sq. m. skylight provides an unobstructed view of the stars. Another unique feature of the house is a catamaran net at a height of seven meters on which the residents can “float” to stimulate creative thinking. Meteorite is made of prefabricated cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, it is insulated by air, and uses natural ventilation. The building that has captured close to 60 tons of carbon dioxide into its materials is introduced to the public for the first time in an exhibition at the Olympic Stadium of Helsinki during Helsinki Design Week.
“陨石不是一个大房子，但在内部，它代表了一种全新的三维开放概念的生活空间组织方式，”Ateljé Sotamaa联合创始人Kivi Sotamaa说。”与传统房屋不同，每个房间都有特定的预定用途，陨石的建筑支持居民更多的动态关系和各种生活情况。数字化设计和新的预制和施工技术使其能够创造出独特的、具有美学品质的生态木建筑，为其所在地增加体验价值”。
“Meteorite is not a large house, but on the inside, it represents a completely new 3-dimensional open-concept way of organizing living space,” says Ateljé Sotamaa co-founder Kivi Sotamaa. “Unlike traditional houses where each room has a specific predetermined purpose, Meteorite’s architecture supports more dynamic relationships of its residents and a variety of life situations. Digital design and new prefabrication and construction technologies enable the creation of unique, aesthetically high-quality ecological wood buildings that add experiential value to their locations.”
该建筑最初被设计为Ulla-Maaria Koivula的宾馆，她是总部位于加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托的教育技术提供商ThingLink的创始人和首席执行官，她的祖父母在芬兰卡累利阿农村的老宅子里。然而，由于COVID-19大流行病和加州的野火肆虐，她的家人已经决定或多或少地在该省全职居住和工作。
The building was originally designed to function as a guesthouse for Ulla-Maaria Koivula, founder and CEO of education technology provider ThingLink based in Palo Alto, California, on her grandparents’ old homestead in rural Karelia of Finland. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the wildfires raging in California, however, her family has decided to live in and work from the province more or less full-time.
“每个建筑都体现了我们与自然环境的关系，”科伊武拉说。”我在这个国家建造一个独特的木制房屋的灵感来自于科里的岩石山和崎岖的树林，那里有丰富的不规则的巨石，在冬季战争期间也为芬兰的防御服务。陨石反映了我的灵魂与芬兰自然的联系，透过它的一个大窗户看周围雾蒙蒙的田野，把我带回了童年的平静日子。我们把这所房子作为一个创造性的空间，用于远程工作、爱好和一起玩耍。在过去，一家人聚集在一个大的水平厨房空间里，一起生活；现在我们彼此之间以及与周围的大自然垂直地相互联系。在这个时代，有了有效的电信和通往大都市地区的高速列车，这是我们安身立命的美好生活的天堂。”
“Every building materializes our relationship with the natural environment,” Koivula says. ”My inspiration to have a unique wood house built in this country sprouted from the rocky hills and rugged woods of Koli, rich in erratic boulders that also served Finland’s defense during the Winter War. Meteorite reflects the connection my soul has to Finnish nature, and looking through one of its large windows to the misty fields around takes me back to the calm days of childhood. We use the house as a creative space for remote work, hobbies, and hanging out together. In the old days, families gathered into a large horizontal kitchen space to be together; we now interconnect vertically with each other and with the surrounding nature. In this time and age with effective telecommunications and speed trains to the metropolitan region, this is a paradise for us to get settled into the good life.”
健康的低碳建筑，由预制构件制成。在最好的情况下，”陨石 “的巨大木墙包含4米的空气隔热层，所有建筑服务工程和技术都隐藏在墙内。在房子里，四周都是轻质的北欧木材，结构中没有任何塑料，也没有任何容易发霉的东西。屋顶也是实木的，经过上油处理，可以抵御各种因素的影响，并有很好的老化效果。带来大自然的大窗户都是用电加热的。
Healthy low-carbon building made of prefabricated components. At best, the massive wood walls of Meteorite contain 4 metres of air insulation, and all building services engineering and technology is hidden inside the walls. Inside the house, there is light Nordic wood all around, no plastic anywhere in the structure, and nothing prone to moulding. The roof, too, is of solid wood, oiled to resist the elements and age beautifully. The large windows bringing in nature are all electrically heated.
“Vahanen集团的结构工程总经理Ahti Rantonen说：”就结构设计和细节而言，这也是一个独特的项目，该集团为基阿斯玛当代艺术博物馆和赫尔辛基的Musiikkitalo等标志性项目提供工程咨询。”我们很高兴与Ateljé Sotamaa合作，并希望今后有更多的机会参与顶级木制建筑项目，无论其位于何处。涉及的重要方面包括低碳影响和健康建筑。陨石的生活体验将非常接近于传统的原木屋，所有的人工材料都被取消了。另一个关键因素是数字设计和制造过程。房子的所有部件都可以在施工现场预制和组装，这意味着它们需要在高度详细的水平上进行计算机建模，并准时交付给现场”。
”This was a unique project also in terms of structural design and detailing,” says Ahti Rantonen, managing director of structural engineering at Vahanen Group that provides engineering consultancy for landmark projects such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma and Musiikkitalo of Helsinki. ”We are delighted about cooperation with Ateljé Sotamaa and hope there will be more opportunities to work on top wood construction projects in the future, regardless of their locations. Important aspects involved include low carbon impact and healthy building. The living experience in Meteorite will be very close to that of a traditional log house with all artificial materials eliminated. Another key element is the digital design and fabrication process. All parts of the house can be prefabricated and assembled on the construction site, which means they need to be computer-modelled on a highly detailed level and delivered on site just on time.”
