Marika-Alderton House

由专筑网雷君，刘庆新编译

该项目是受土著领导人Banduk Marika和她的搭档Mark Alderton 委托建造的，所以该项目与Yirrkala家族相关。该项目在澳大利亚的最北部，有着气候固有的文化条件，面朝阿拉弗拉海域和卡奔塔利亚湾，这个选址属于热带气候，有大风和强降水。被海滩、河口溪和淡水泻湖所环绕。该建筑位于普通的郊区定居地点中稍微下移的位置。

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

From The Architecture of Glenn Murcutt, via OZ.e.tecture:
Commissioned by the aboriginal leader Banduk Marika and her partner Mark Alderton this project is in Yirrkala on land associated with the Marika clan. The project presented a rare opportunity to design a house in Australia’s extreme north and to architecturally address the inherent climatic and cultural conditions. Facing the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria the site has a tropical climate with cyclonic conditions, high winds and very heavy rainfall. Surrounded by a beach, estuary creek and freshwater lagoon, the building is slightly removed from a generally suburban settlement.



设计师以建筑原型为构思，设计了一个小窗口，适应于土著居民公共住房典型的砖建筑。在悉尼以北戈斯福德，所有的建筑部件都是由两个集装箱包装并且通过半挂车和驳船运到现场，并用螺栓连接在一起的，整个建筑过程花费了四个月的时间。

该建筑是由基本元素构成。屋顶用干燥的木材建成，还有可操作的外层结构。其结构体系是钢框架和澳大利亚硬木。精细的金属板屋顶占主导地位，深檐设计可以保护室内在夏季免受太阳直射。外墙为精雕细琢的填充板，没有玻璃开口。这些胶合板板条木材可以滑动或转动，便于微风吹入室内，自然冷却房子。

It was conceived by Murcutt as a prototype and as a viable alternative to the house then occupied by the clients, a brick building with small windows typical of aboriginal public housing in this context. Prefabricated in Gosford, north of Sydney, all components were packed in two shipping containers and transported to site via semi-trailer and barge. The house was bolted and screwed together on site, the entire process taking four months.
The building is elemental. A pitched roof, dry timber platform and operable skin float in relation to each other. The structural system is comprised of a steel frame and Australian hardwoods. The fine sheet metal roof is dominant, deep eaves protecting the interior from summer sun. The exterior wall is treated as finely crafted infill panels with no glazed openings. These typically plywood and slatted timber screens slide or pivot open allowing prevailing breezes to naturally cool the house.



设计层次结构中的一个重要方面是南外立面，垂直胶合板刀片从不同深度嵌入。厨房里的长桌子用木材建成，还有浮动窗口的海湾。该建筑屋顶形似鳍结构，悬垂出来，在清晨和傍晚都能帮助保护隐私和遮阳。在海湾结构下的空隙使建筑呈水平状态。在这所房子里的居民可以观察地平线的情况，看到天气的变化，人和动物的运动，玩耍的孩子；这座建筑作为一个高架遮蔽的平台在发挥着自身的作用。

One of the most striking aspects of the architecture is the southern façade, where vertical plywood blades of varying depths project out from the steel column line. These register the dimensions of different built-in furniture elements; a kitchen bench, timber joinery or beds, framed as floating window bays. The fins provide both visual privacy and shade from the summer sun in early morning and late afternoon. Voids under the bay structures confirm the sense of suspension above a horizontal floor plane. In this house Murcutt creates a situation from which the inhabitants can observe the horizon, changes in the weather patterns, the movement of people and animals and the playing of children; a building which is experienced as an elevated shaded platform.
