Oakhill坐落在蒙特利尔附近森林茂密的布罗蒙市,是一个由当地建筑师工作室Matière Première Architecture构思的独栋住宅,由其合作伙伴Nu Drōm公司建造。

Nestled within the densely forested municipality of Bromont, near Montreal, Oakhill is a single-family residence conceived by local architect studio, Matière Première Architecture, and constructed by its partner firm, Nu Drōm.

该住宅的设计与周围的枫树林完美结合,面向东边的一个缓坡。东边的湿地形成了一个天然的空地,而西边的岩石则形成了一个更陡峭的斜坡,使住宅免受主要风向和邻居的影响。

Designed to seamlessly integrate with the surrounding maple tree forest, the home faces eastward on a gentle slope. A wetland area to the east forms a natural clearing, while a rock outcropping to the west creates a steeper incline, shielding the residence from both dominant winds and neighboring views.

概念和内部空间。Oakhill强调一个适度的规模,是一个光滑的单层住宅,与森林树冠相协调,灵感来自于普遍的落叶树。根植于平缓的地形,轻质的屋顶被一个微妙而坚固的结构所支撑。交替的单坡屋顶提供了视觉趣味,同时也管理了阳光和遮阳。室内空间与自然环境流畅地融合在一起,消解了建筑与自然之间的界限。

Concept & Interior Spaces. Emphasizing a modest scale, Oakhill is a sleek, single-story residence that harmonizes with the forest canopy, inspired by the prevailing deciduous trees. Rooted in the gently sloping terrain, a lightweight roof is upheld by a subtle yet robust structure. The alternating single-slope roof provides visual interest, while also managing sunlight and shading. Interior spaces fluidly merge with the natural environment, dissolving the boundary between architecture and nature.

方案。建筑布局包含了一个生活区,通过广阔的玻璃窗连接到室内和室外空间,向主卧室延伸。在晚上,窗帘提供了隐私和舒适的氛围。景观设计遵循场地的自然坡度,通向第二层,设有一个户外火坑。一个半地下的游泳池,位于房子附近,以尽量减少对环境的影响和树木的移除,与湿地区域形成视觉联系。

Program. The architectural layout encompasses a living area that connects to both indoor and outdoor spaces through expansive glazed glass, extending towards the master bedroom. In the evening, curtains offer privacy and a cozy ambiance. The landscape design follows the site’s natural gradient, leading to a second level featuring an outdoor fire pit. A semi-inground pool, situated close to the house to minimize environmental impact and tree removal, creates a visual link with the wetland area.

高层设计和分级。Oakhill设计理念的核心是利用场地的缓坡来巧妙地提升内部空间,提供一个广阔的视野,避免了在森林中的拘束感。这种升高的视角使住宅与周围的自然环境和谐地融合在一起,创造了一个从受控的、光滑的室内环境到有机的室外环境的无缝过渡。这种深思熟虑的设计方法邀请居住者体验从精致的室内空间到中间的户外生活区的渐进式发展,并最终进入森林的茂盛怀抱。这种渐变强调了住宅与环境的独特联系,促进了与自然的统一感。

Elevated Design & Gradation. Central to Oakhill’s design concept is the utilization of the site’s gentle slope to subtly elevate interior spaces, providing an expansive view that avoids a sense of confinement within the forest. This elevated perspective harmoniously blends the home with its natural surroundings, creating a seamless transition from the controlled, sleek indoor environment to the organic outdoors. The thoughtful design approach invites occupants to experience a gradual progression from the refined interior spaces, through the intermediate outdoor living areas and, ultimately, into the lush embrace of the forest. This gradation underscores the home’s unique connection to its environment, fostering a sense of unity with nature.
