圣安德鲁斯海滨别墅半径不到五米,是景观中的一个物体。一个欧几里得的形式镶嵌在粗糙的沙地上,它以适度的形式提供了你在海滩小屋中所需要和想要的一切。

Less than five meters in radius, St Andrews Beach House is an object in the landscape. A Euclidean form set amongst the rough and sandy terrain it provides – in modest form – everything you would need and want in a beach shack.

基本简介。澳大利亚人拥有一些世界上最大的房子,而度假屋正日益成为郊区住宅的翻版。 圣安德鲁斯海滩别墅的主人认识到这一点。他要求我们为他设计一个 “bach”–一个新西兰的词汇,用来描述一个非常简陋的、小型的、基本的棚屋,或者说棚屋。

The Basic Brief: Australians have some of the biggest houses in the world and holiday houses are increasingly becoming carbon copies of the suburban home. The owner of St Andrews Beach House recognized this. He challenged us to design him a ‘bach’ – a New Zealand word used to describe a very modest, small and basic shack, or shed.

循环和迂回。圣安德鲁斯海滩别墅是一个两层的圆形度假屋,它利用了场地的偏远性和广阔的视野,向各个方向延伸。这座房子独自矗立在野生灌木丛、崎岖的沙丘和灌木丛中。这个地方很脆弱,房子很尊重地融入了这个环境。由于没有相邻的建筑形式需要回应,我们自由地想象着设计一个适度的、有两个卧室的海滩别墅。房子的形状来自于对景观的回应和对内部空间的简化。在圣安德鲁斯海滨别墅,没有走廊。在我们看来,走廊和流通空间是一种浪费。一个没有走廊的住宅适合于圆形设计。

Circles and Roundabouts: St Andrews Beach House is a two-story circular holiday home that takes advantage of the remoteness of the site and expansive views, which extend in all directions. The house stands alone, in amongst wild bush, rugged sand dunes and scrub. The location is fragile and the house respectfully integrates into the environment. With no neighboring forms to respond to, the brief – to design a modest, two-bedroom beach house, was freely imagined. The shape of the house grew from a response to the views and the simplification of the interior spaces. At St Andrews Beach House there are no corridors. Corridors and circulation space are, in our view, a waste. A corridor free home lends itself to a circular design.

海滩和巴赫:海滩别墅的存在是为了简单的放松,逃离城市,与家人和朋友一起享受安静和闲暇时光。它应该与日常的正常生活形成对比,维护费用极低,相对自给自足和基本,但并非没有简单的生物舒适性。澳大利亚人拥有世界上一些最大的房子,而且澳大利亚的度假屋正日益成为郊区住宅的翻版。简单的棚屋被超大的建筑所取代,这些建筑简直就是一个远离家乡的家。圣安德鲁斯海滩别墅的主人认识到这一点。在他的简介中,他经常使用 “bach “这个词–这个词在新西兰用来描述本世纪中叶用捡来的和回收的材料建造的粗糙和现成的海滩棚屋。无论你赚了多少钱,你都要给自己找一个bach,而且这个bach必须是最基本、最朴实的东西。业主向我们提出挑战,要求我们在沙丘上为他设计和建造一个 “巴奇”。

To the Beach and Bach: Beach houses exist for simple relaxation, an escape from the city, for quietude and downtime with family and friends. It should provide contrast from day-to-day normality, be super low maintenance, relatively self-sustaining and basic, but not without simple creature comforts. Australians have some of the biggest houses in the world and, increasingly so, Australian holiday houses are becoming carbon copies of the suburban home. Simple shacks are replaced with oversized structures that are all too literally a-home-away-from-home. The owner of St Andrews Beach House recognized this. In his brief he would frequently use the term ‘bach’ – a word used in New Zealand to describe the rough and ready beach shacks built mostly in the mid-century from found and recycled materials. Regardless of how much money you’ve made, you get yourself a bach, and that bach has to be the most basic, down-to-earth thing. The owner challenged us to design and build him a ‘bach’ in the dunes.

沙地上的一个圆圈。圣安德鲁斯海滨别墅的半径不到五米,是景观中的一个物体。一个欧几里得的形式镶嵌在粗糙的地形中。房子的平面图是通过合理和精确的几何形状产生的,就像圆圈被挤压成一个管子。内部空间是由一个严格控制的计划产生的,坚持形式的规则,引导和安排分割空间的部分,以螺旋楼梯为中心,提供光线和空气,但也有舒适的空间。这座房子展示了对木材的创新使用,有厚重的细节和暴露的门框。这不是一个华而不实的海滨别墅,而是一个轻松和非正式的逃生场所,其设计的材料会像一个古老的沿海码头一样,经历风霜。

A Circle in the Sand: Less than five meters in radius, St Andrews Beach House is an object in the landscape. A Euclidean form set amongst the rough terrain. The plan of the house is generated using the rational and precise geometry, as the circle extrudes into a tube. The internal spaces are generated by a tightly controlled plan adhering to the rules of form, guiding and arranging segments that divide the space, with a spiral staircase as its central core, providing light and air but also snug spaces. The house displays an innovative use of timber, with chunky details and exposed portal frames. This is not a slick beach house, but a relaxed and informal escape, designed with materials that will patina and weather, like an old coastal wharf.

所有的正面。这座房子有多个外景。没有一个主导的方向,就没有必要有正面、背面和侧面,圣安德鲁海滩别墅都是正面。一楼包括厨房、起居室和餐厅,还有一个浴室和一个洗衣房。在管内有一个开放的甲板区,当双折门打开时,这些空间就会统一起来。大多数澳大利亚人都希望有一个露台或阳台,而不是像经典的澳大利亚老房子那样在外面增加一些东西,在圣安德鲁斯海滨别墅,露台已经被侵蚀出形式本身,创造了一个既在外面又在里面的两层空间。

All Front: The house has multiple outlooks. Without a dominant orientation there is no need for a front, back and sides, St Andrew Beach House is all front. The ground floor comprises of kitchen, living, and dining, with a bathroom and a laundry. An open deck area, within the tube, unites the spaces when the bi-fold doors are opened. Most Australians want a deck or veranda, instead of adding something to the outside, like that of the classic old Australian home, at St Andrews Beach House the deck has been eroded out of the form itself, creating a two-story space that’s both outside and inside.

无论我的头躺在哪里,那就是我的床。一个中央螺旋式楼梯通向楼上的浴室和卧室区。与传统的卧室布局不同,楼上的睡眠区基本上是一个双层房间,用窗帘隔开。(空间也可以作为第二个起居室或游戏室。)而不是设计一系列密封的卧室,每个卧室都有套房和步入式衣柜,圣安德鲁斯海滨别墅的睡眠区是非正式的、休闲的和放松的,地板空间是唯一限制。而当这种限制达到时,客人被邀请在外面柔软的沙地上搭起帐篷,把房子作为一个中心枢纽。

Wherever I lay my head, that’s my bed: A central spiral staircase leads upstairs to the bathroom and bedroom zone. Unlike a traditional bedroom layout, the upstairs sleeping area is essentially one bunk room, separated by curtains. (space can also function as a second living or games room.) Rather than design, a series of sealed bedrooms, each with ensuite and walk-in-robe, the sleeping zone at St Andrews Beach House is informal, casual and relaxed, where floor space is the only limitation. And when that limitation is reached, guests are invited to pitch a tent on the soft sand outside and use the house as a central hub.

非典型的生活。一个单筒混凝土水箱作为通往海滨别墅的门户标志,从这里开始,你将汽车、道路、你的烦恼和其他一切都抛在脑后。虽然建筑是精确的,遵循着圆形的刚性几何,但住在这里可以完全摆脱常规的生活。不遵守典型的布局允许你,如果不是强迫你,以不同的方式生活。在一个标准的住宅布置中(一个长长的走廊,有房间通向其他地方等),每个人都知道如何使用这些空间,一个圆形的住宅在水平和对角线上都有强大的开放连接,既能吸引人,又能解放人。

Atypical living: A single cylinder concrete water tank acts as a gateway marker to the beach house, from here onwards you leave cars, the road, your troubles and everything else behind. Though the building is precise, following the rigid geometry of a circle, staying here provides a complete escape from regular life. Not adhering to a typical layout allows you, if not forces you, to live differently. With a standard home arrangement (a long corridor, with rooms leading off etc.) everyone knows how to use the spaces, a circular home with strong open connections horizontally and diagonally throughout, serves to both engage and liberate.

可持续性。圣安德鲁斯海滨别墅的半径不到5米,在沙丘中创造了一个非常小的足迹。像所有奥斯汀-梅纳德建筑事务所的建筑一样,可持续性是这个项目的核心。所用的材料都是坚固的,并且是为适应气候而设计的。被动式太阳能原则在设计中得到了最大程度的体现。所有的窗户都是双层玻璃的。带有微型逆变器的太阳能电池板覆盖屋顶,提供电力水力–没有化石燃料,没有燃气。一个大的圆柱形混凝土水箱收集雨水,收集并重新用于冲洗厕所和浇灌花园。

Sustainability: St Andrews Beach House stands at less than five meters in radius, creating a very small footprint amongst the dunes. Like all of Austin Maynard Architects buildings, sustainability is at the core of this project. The materials used are robust and designed to weather. Passive solar principals are maximized by the design. All windows are double-glazed. Solar panels with micro-inverters cover the roof providing electric hydronic- no fossil fuels, no gas. A large cylinder concrete water tank collects rainwater, captured and reused to flush toilets and water the garden.

该区块之前已经被清理过,并与公路相连,以提供服务。施工很困难,因为移动的沙子需要很深的地基。景观设计和保留现有的动物群尤其重要,以减少风造成的喷沙。

The block had been previously cleared and connected to the road for services. Construction was difficult as shifting sands required deep footings. Landscaping and retaining the existing fauna was especially important to minimize sandblasting caused by wind.
