本座不仅受到全球大流行病的影响，而且是因其而生。我们的客户是一对半退休的夫妇，他们一时兴起买下了这处房产，想在海岸边寻找一个有呼吸空间的周末度假地–一个让他们的成年家庭逃离、聚集和放松的安全场所。当大流行病袭来时，这对夫妇发现他们在新的度假地意外地花费了越来越多的时间，并决定他们需要一个与迷人的海岸景观相匹配的家。
The Seat was not just affected by the global pandemic, it was born of it. Our clients, a semi-retired couple who bought the property on a whim, were seeking a weekender on the coast with room to breathe – a safe place for their grown family to escape, gather and relax. When the pandemic hit, the couple found themselves unexpectedly spending more and more time at their new retreat, and decided they needed a home to match the stunning coastal landscape.
在儿子即将于2022年3月举行婚礼的刺激下，我们的客户希望有一个独一无二的家庭住宅，也可以作为一个令人惊叹的婚礼场地，在有限的时间和预算内设计和交付。在之前一连串成功的项目和有价值的长期合作关系之后，他们将该项目委托给Atlas。The Seat于2020年构思，2021年完工，完全满足了他们的要求。
Spurred on by their son’s impending wedding in March 2022, our clients wanted a one-of-a-kind family home that could also serve as a stunning wedding venue, designed and delivered in a constricted timeframe and budget. They entrusted the project to Atlas following a string of successful previous projects and a valued, longstanding relationship. Conceived in 2020 and completed in 2021, The Seat met the brief in spades.
回过头来看房子，婚礼是在山上举办的–一条绿树成荫的河道连接着两个地方。这座房子成了一个时尚而朴实的接待场所。前面的围场（过去是养马的）成为客人的临时停车场。层层叠叠的草坪举办鸡尾酒会。The Seat的所有元素，从建筑结构到景观，使房子能够从一个舒适的家庭住宅转变为一个私人婚礼场地，一个位于风景如画的沿海农场的令人惊叹的活动空间。
Looking back at the house, the wedding was hosted in the hills − a tree-lined esplanade connects the two locations. The house became a stylish yet unpretentious reception venue. The front paddock (which used to house horses) became the temporary car park for guests. The tiered lawns hosted cocktails. All elements of The Seat, from the built fabric to the landscape, enable the house to transform from a cozy family home to a private wedding venue, a breathtaking events space set on a picturesque coastal farm.
我们富有创造力的客户在一个极具挑战性的时期构思了一些真正特别的东西，使Atlas有机会创造出我们自己非凡的银色光芒。座椅是一个非常有意义的项目，要求我们回到基础，重新发现建筑如何能真正与景观融合。
Our creative clients conceived something truly special during an exceptionally challenging time, giving Atlas the opportunity to create our own extraordinary silver lining. The Seat was an extremely rewarding project, requiring us to go back to basics and rediscover how architecture can genuinely integrate with the landscape.
