一条玻璃走道反映了旧的和宣布新的,连接了三个不同的16世纪的居住空间,随着一天从早上到晚上的进展,从反射到半透明的转变。

Reflecting the old and announcing the new, a glazed walkway links three distinct 16th-century dwelling spaces, shifting from reflection to translucency as the day progresses from morning to night.

磨房的设计是为了满足将一组一级和二级名录建筑连接起来的需要,包括一个可以追溯到大约16世纪中后期的磨房。在建筑之间引入新的凝聚力,以创造一个未来的家庭住宅,设计将一个室外庭院定位为连接剂,使不同的空间能够与房子里沐浴在阳光下的炉灶沟通。

The design of the Mill House addresses a need to link a cluster of Grade I and II Listed buildings, including a mill room dating to around the mid-to-late 16th century. Introducing new cohesion between the buildings to create a future family home, the design positions an outdoor courtyard as a connecting agent, allowing the disparate spaces to communicate with the sun-soaked hearth of the house.

一条玻璃走道策划了这种连接,作为三个体量之间的约束性通道发挥作用。从街道上看不到的走道,既隐蔽又大胆地宣布,被设想为新旧对比的反射层。它沿着两个内部立面形成一个有光泽的周边,将用户从一个生活区带到另一个生活区。

A glazed walkway curates this connection, functioning as a binding passage between the three volumes. Invisible from the street, the walkway is both hidden and boldly announced, conceived as a reflective layer of contrast between old and new. It forms a lustrous perimeter along two internal facades, carrying its users from one living block to another.

走道在一天中从固体反射到纯粹的半透明,其不透明度随着太阳光的变化而变化。在早晨,它反映了院子里的黄色石头和周围村庄的景象,看起来就像一条拉长的带子,在一个路口处弯曲。到了晚上,它的玻璃走廊被内部照亮,照亮了下面的游泳池区域,揭示了居民从一个卧室到另一个卧室的运动。

The walkway graduates from solid reflection to sheer translucency throughout the day, its opacity moderating with the sun’s changing light. In the morning, it reflects the courtyard’s yellow stone and the sights of the surrounding village, appearing as an elongated band that elbows at a single juncture. At night, its glazed corridor is internally lit, illuminating the pool area below and revealing the movements of its inhabitants as they travel from one bedroom to another.

地面层向院子望去,是餐厅和生活区。它的主要房间也是在能见度上做文章—高大的柜子点缀着空间的边缘,就像极简主义的巨石,有时也是通往切入房间的门。

The ground level, which looks out to the courtyard, is home to the dining and living areas. Its main room also plays on grades of visibility – tall cabinets punctuate the edge of its space, resembling minimalist boulders that at times double as doorways to tangential rooms.
