海风位于东萨塞克斯郡的坎伯沙海滩,直接背对着后面的天然沙丘,可以看到整个海滩和南面的英吉利海峡的杰出景色。这个地方的独特之处在于,它是该地区仅有的几处只能沿海滩行驶的房产之一,这使得施工极具挑战性。

Sea Breeze is located on Camber Sands beach in East Sussex, directly backing onto the natural sand dunes behind and with outstanding views across the beach and the English Channel to the south. The site is unique in that it is one of only a handful of properties in the region that are only accessed by driving along the beach making the construction extremely challenging.

窗户被设计成与外墙平齐,以避免产生沙子堆积和影响建筑的壁架。也没有排水沟或传统的细节,因为沙子和盐会给建筑带来问题。

The windows have been designed to sit flush with the external façade, to avoid creating ledges on which sand can build and affect the building. There are also no gutters or conventional details where sand and salt could create issues for the building.

第一个关键的挫折是,该项目应在2020年3月开始现场施工–恰恰在这个时候,英国进入了封锁状态,这造成了各种问题。

The first key setback was that the project was due to commence site work in March 2020 – precisely at the moment, the UK went into lockdown, which caused a variety of issues.

就更多与项目设计有关的问题而言–该物业后面的沙丘结构是一个独特的景观特征,被指定为SSSI,也吸引着迁徙的鸟类。设计的重点是创造一个坚固的建筑,以应对极端的天气条件,包括大风、移动的沙子和咸空气。建筑物外部用粉红色颜料涂抹微纤维水泥,以创造一个密封的外部围护结构。外部材料的选择是经过深思熟虑的,以保证其坚固性和强度,然而,粉红色的颜料在表面处理中软化了视觉效果,并将建筑与天空和海滩的戏剧性和不断变化的背景相衬托。

In terms of more project design-related issues – The dune formations behind the property are a unique landscape feature and are designated as an SSSI, also attracting migrating birds. The designs are focused on creating a robust building to cope with the extreme weather conditions, with high winds, moving sand, and salt air. The building has been externally finished in trowelled micro fibre cement with a pink pigment, to create a sealed external envelope. The external material selection was carefully considered to be robust and strong, however, the pink pigment in the finish softens the visual impact and sets the building off against the dramatic and ever-changing backdrop of the sky and beach.

该建筑通过两个90米深的钻孔和一个MVHR系统进行加热和被动冷却。密封的外部围护结构也有很大的热质量,这导致了一个高度节能和舒适的房产。三层玻璃窗的设计也大大减少了外部声学影响,这在恶劣的暴露环境中是一个重要的考虑因素。

The building is heated and passively cooled via two 90m deep boreholes along with an MVHR system. The sealed external envelope also has significant thermal mass which has resulted in a highly energy-efficient and comfortable property. The triple-glazed windows have also been designed to significantly reduce the external acoustic effects which are an important consideration in the hostile and exposed environment.

该计划包括一个带有蒸汽舱、桑拿和瀑布池的健康水疗中心,以及带有大面积玻璃窗的开放式居住空间,可以看到整个海滩。一楼有3间双人卧室,两间套房和一间家庭浴室。景观的外部挡土墙被设计成弯曲的皮质,看起来很有雕塑感,但也保留了建筑周围的沙子和沙丘,保护了露台区域。

The plans include a wellness spa with a steam pod, sauna, and a plunge pool, along with open plan living accommodation with large expanses of glazing looking across the beach. There are 3 double bedrooms on the first-floor level with two en suite rooms and a family bathroom. The external retaining wall of the landscaping has been designed in a curving corten, to appear sculptural yet also retain the sand and dunes surrounding the building and protect the decked terrace areas.

在内部,烟熏橡木覆层被用来框住和强调外面的景色,并为室内带来温暖。水磨石地板被用于整个底层,其混合材料类似于海滩上的碎石。墙壁被涂上了有纹理的天然石灰漆,以提供更多的触感。

Internally a fumed oak cladding has been used to frame and emphasise the views out and to bring warmth to the interiors. Terrazzo flooring has been used throughout the ground floor with an aggregate mix resembling the shingle of the beach. The walls have been painted in textured natural lime paint to give a more tactile finish.
