隔壁的 “隐形之家 “反映了对面沃特洛公园里的活树,房子背对着海格特公墓,所以我们的方案在这个背景下发挥作用。

The Invisible House next door reflects the living trees in Waterlow Park opposite and the house backs on to Highgate Cemetery so our proposal plays on this context.

我们决定使用被 “创伤 “过的木材,而不是反映活着的树木。这种木材,我们可以使其成为死的,反映了我们的客户对海格特公墓的氛围的恐怖的兴趣。严重烧焦的落叶松翅片与 “隐形之家 “形成了一个有趣的对立面,将这两座建筑联系在一起。

Rather than reflecting the living trees, we decided to use wood that had been ‘traumatised’. This wood, as dead as we could make it, reflects our clients’ interest in the macabre drawing on the ambience of Highgate Cemetery. The heavily charred larch fins creates an interesting counterpoint to the Invisible House that ties the two buildings together.

翅片是用镀锌的顶帽支架固定在外墙上的,然后用胶水粘住。所有木材的正面都在一个平面上,以统一立面,所以当从街道上下看时,立面看起来是封闭的,但当走过房子时,不同深度的鳍状物显示了后面住宅的原始衔接的幽灵。

The fins are fixed to the facade using galvanised top-hat brackets and glued in place. The fronts of all the timbers are in one plane to unify the facade so when viewed from up and down the street, the elevation appears closed, but on moving past the house the differing depths of fins reveal the ghost of the original articulation of the dwelling behind.
