萨特菲尔恢复性乡村疗养院是客户–一对具有生物科学、医学和教育背景的退休夫妇、建筑师福斯特-洛马斯和当地慈善机构曼克斯野生动物基金会之间独特合作的结果。

The Sartfell Restorative Rural Retreat is the result of a unique collaboration between the clients – a retired couple whose background combines biological science, medicine, and education, the architect Foster Lomas, and the local charity Manx Wildlife Trust.

客户为萨特菲尔山上7.5英亩的自然保护区的恢复、保护和管理制定了一份简报。长期的愿景是在该地块上恢复原生林地、草场和酸性沼泽,这些都是稀有兰花物种的家园。

The Client created a brief for the restoration, conservation and management of the 7.5 acres of Nature Reserve on Sartfell Mountain. The long-term vision is to rewild the site with native woodland, meadowland and acid bogs which are home to rare orchid species.

我们对这一地点的回应借鉴了我们以前在意大利阿布鲁佐工作时对水晶建筑的研究。我们重新解释了这种本土技术和当地的曼克斯石结构,在其独特的环境中创造了一个原始的建筑。

Our response to the site draws on our previous research of drystone construction whilst working in Abruzzo, Italy. We have reinterpreted this vernacular technology and local Manx stone structures to create an original building in its unique setting.

从现场收获的水晶墙让当地的生态环境在其中栖息。它的有机屋顶模仿了附近地区的植物群,并与水晶墙相得益彰。随着时间的推移,墙壁将巧妙地成为景观的一部分,对土地的影响最小。

Harvested from the site, the drystone walls allow local ecology to inhabit voids within. Its organic rooftop emulates the flora of the immediate area and complements the drystone walling. Over a period of time, the walls will subtly become part of the landscape, with minimal impact on the land.

房子的标志性特征是一个环绕的带状窗户,框住了莫恩山、爱尔兰海和加洛韦岛的广阔景色,让这对鸟类学爱好者欣喜不已。

The signature feature of the house is a ribbon window that wraps around, framing the sweeping views of the Mountains of Mourne, the Irish Sea and the Mull of Galloway, to the delight of the pair of ornithological enthusiasts.

所有的空间都围绕着一个楼梯核心形成一个三角形的计划,优雅地容纳了图书馆。楼梯的戏剧性顶部是一个夹层,框住了书房和其暴露的混凝土内部。楼梯的诗意方向使上行时可以看到山上的景色,而下行时可以看到山谷的景色。

All the spaces are ordered around a staircase core forming a triangular plan that elegantly accommodates the library. The drama of the staircase is topped with a clerestory that frames the study and its exposed concrete interior. The poetic orientation of the stairs aligns the ascendance with views up to the mountain, whilst the descent directs views down into the valley.

整个场地在运行中是碳中和的,配备了从附近的湖泊中获取能量的地源热,一个自然处理的污水处理系统和一个风力涡轮机。在施工前对天气状况进行了监测,引入了一个气象站来采集数据,以达到撤退的环境性能的最佳水平。

The entire site is carbon neutral in operation, equipped with ground source heating harnessing energy from a nearby lake, a natural processing sewerage system and a wind turbine. Weather conditions were monitored prior to construction with the introduction of a weather station capturing data to achieve optimum level of the retreat’s environmental performance.
