Space建筑工作室设计了这座位于新西兰 Te Horo的新住宅。

建筑师描述
SPACE起初致力于调查本地Lockwood住宅大量的改建及翻修情况。

经过严格的设计和成本分析后，我们的客户认为，按照提出的计划对已存在的建筑结构进行改建，太过妥协于其建筑方案。

因此决定重新开始。现存的住宅被出售、搬迁再利用。

建筑场所受到陡峭陈旧的堤坝、现存的车库/室外居住场所、以及主要的景观元素如广泛存在的装饰以及成熟的植物等地形限制。

我们的客户同时希望保留场地中部遗传下来的巨朱蕉。

设计方案要求新住宅应与现存的景观融为一体，同时又节能。新住宅应当与已建成的室外生活区相连；方案同时包括对现存的室外居住场所/车库建筑的改建及翻修。

房主想要一个现代的、优雅的家，一个精心制作的设计方案，并让人感觉它与已建成的建筑融为一体、而不是一个“新”建筑。

而涉及到他们对不同空间的具体意见以及怎么住等问题时，他们有很多硬性规定。

住宅的设计目的是使其完全符合现存的场地限制，并与更广泛景观的自然双重性相容。

传统的乡村建筑主要是山墙形式，我们的客户在设计过程的开始阶段就为这一形式所吸引。

住宅的设计以两间耳房为基础——一间卧室耳房、一间客厅耳房，中间由玻璃入口连接。

湿地河床上有连接带作桥，经由木板小路可进入住宅，这条连接路上，可以看到远处的海岸。我们的顾客几年来正努力重建，以突出住宅与湿地的关联。

Space Architecture Studio designed this new home in Te Horo, New Zealand.
Description from the architects
SPACE was intially engaged to investigate the extensive alteration and renovation of an existing Lockwood home located on the site. After rigorous design and cost analysis our clients decided that the proposed alteration of the existing structure would prove to be too much of a compromise to their brief and decided to start anew. The existing house was sold and relocated for reuse.
The building site was defined by the topographical constraints of steep battered banks, an existing garage/sleep-out and key landscape elements such as extensive existing decking as well as mature vegetation. Our clients also wished to retain a heritage cabbage tree located in the middle of the site.
The design brief required the new home to be a high performance energy efficient, accessible building integrated into the existing landscape. It should allow for connections to the established outdoor living areas and include the renovation of the existing sleep-out/garage building.
The owners wanted a contemporary and elegant home, one that reflected a well crafted and thoughtfully designed solution, yet felt like it had been well established on the site and wasn’t a “new” building. They were very prescriptive when it came to the specific views they required from different spaces and how they wanted to live in the home.
The home was designed to fit seamlessly into the existing site constraints and sit within the natural dunal forms of the wider landscape. Traditional rural architecture has been articulated in strong gable forms, forms that our clients were drawn to and comfortable with from the outset of the design process.
The design of the home is based on two wings – a sleeping wing and a living wing connected by a glazed entrance link. The link bridges the wetland stream bed below and entry to the house is via a boardwalk with views through the link-way to the coast beyond. This accentuates the connection to the wetlands which our clients had been regenerating for several years.
