位于韦克斯福德郡的一个70年代的木结构海边度假小屋的扩建项目。我们的干预,包括一个新的厨房/餐厅空间和引导区,形成了一系列新的水平,介于现有的地面和原来房子的高基准之间。

An addition to a 1970’s timber-framed, sea-side holiday cottage in Co. Wexford. Our intervention, which comprises of a new kitchen/dining space and boot area, forms part of a series of new levels which mediate between the existing ground and the elevated datum of the original house.

抵达后,人们在砖砌的基座上登上几个台阶。镀锌钢扶手、栏杆和天棚为游客提供了方向和保护。在前门内,客户要求的一个关键元素–靴子区,在该部分形成了一个新的分割层。靴子区由一个垫子、涂油的橡木长凳和为泥泞的靴子铺设的瓷砖表面界定。

On arrival, one ascends several steps on a brick plinth. A galvanised steel handrail, balustrade and canopy orient and protect the visitor. Inside the front door, a boot area, a key element of the clients’ brief, forms a new split level in the section. The boot area is defined by a mat well, oiled oak bench and tiled surface for muddy boots.

再往上走一步,新的厨房/餐厅就隐藏在一个低矮的天花板下,这是现有屋顶角度的延续。这个空间形成了一个L形的计划,包围着一个新的遮蔽的、朝南的天井。三个涂油的橡木台阶,是长椅的延伸,通向房屋主层的生活区。

One step up, the new kitchen/dining area is tucked under a low ceiling, which is a continuation of the angle of the existing roof. This space forms an L-shaped plan which encloses a new sheltered, south-facing patio. Three oiled oak steps, an extension of the bench, lead to the living area on the main level of the house.

一个精致的锻铁扶手,由两根圆形的橡木柱子支撑,在长椅后面弯曲形成一个栏杆。原有房屋的互锁木板结构被复制到增建部分,以提供新旧之间的连续性。因此,我们的设计旨在让人觉得它是原来房子的一部分。

A delicate wrought iron handrail, supported by two round oak posts, curves to form a balustrade behind the bench. The interlocking plank construction of the original house is replicated in the addition to provide continuity between the old and the new. Thus, our design is intended to read as if it were part of the original house.
