Solid House in North Berwick

由专筑网Brick，刘庆新编译

客户建造这座住宅的目的是想建一座现代化、令人开心和材料坚固的房屋，积极与环境相连。这座新建房屋位于以前花园场地上，在很多方面是格鲁吉亚的别墅风格的现代化诠释。整座建筑有合理的布局、简单的形状、高高的天花板和宽大的窗户。

The client brief for Solid House was for a house that was modern, uplifting and materially substantial which would connect positively to its context. It is a new-build house on a former garden site that in many respects is a contemporary reinterpretation of the Georgian Villa; with a rational layout, simple forms, high ceilings and generous window openings.

设计师仔细分析了当地环境、场地、原有树木和阳光路径，结合客户的要求，确立了建筑的基本形状和朝向。经验上的考虑决定了设计的精细。该住宅入口设在遮蔽的地方，进去后一眼就能看见美丽花园，花园里设有桌椅，主人可以沐浴在朝阳中吃早餐。

Careful analysis of the local context, site, existing trees and sun path in conjunction with the clients brief established the basic form and orientation of the building. Design refinement was then driven by experiential considerations; a sheltered place to enter, views through spaces and into the garden, a place to sit and tend the fire, breakfast in the morning sun.

毛石烟囱作为室内外另一特色，在两层楼内提供了火炉，在露台上提供了烧烤。烟囱支撑了阳台，同时也在两层楼体分离处固定空间，以便包围花园。弯曲的楼梯带有高窗和穹顶，使生活区的空间敞向上方天空。

The rubble stone chimney acts as the coordinating feature of the interior and exterior, providing fireplaces at both levels internally and a BBQ on the terrace. It holds the balcony whilst also anchoring the spaces at the point where the two-storey mass breaks up in order to embrace the garden. A dogleg stair with tall window and cupola opens up the volume of the living areas to the sky above.

实用空间如浴室沿北立面设置，北立面有较小的高层开口，既确保隐私，又使热损失最小，同时主生活空间敞向花园和太阳。

最靠近人际交往的区域的设计重在物质性元素和细节，木材摸起来很暖和，毛石也有温暖的质感。

Utilitarian spaces such as bathrooms are gathered along the north elevation with smaller high-level openings to both ensure privacy and minimize heat loss, whilst the main living spaces open up to the garden and sunshine.
Elements of materiality and (simple) detail are focused on the areas closest to human contact, timber warm to the touch and rubble sandstone warm in texture.

项目可持续性通过长远观点和“低技术”设计方法来解决。房屋有大量热质、低温地热、良好的隔热和南向大开口，这些确保稳定的内部环境能存储大量的太阳辐射。

传统厚重材料的使用创造了平静的氛围，提供令人开心的坚固住宅，它可供代代家庭享受，未来只需略作改变。

Sustainability is addressed via a long-term view and a positively ‘low-tech’ design approach. Large amounts of thermal mass, low temperature under-floor heating, good insulation and generous openings to the south ensure a stable internal environment capable of storing large amounts of solar gain.
The use of traditional and heavy weight materials creates a calm and established atmosphere designed to provide a robust and up-lifting home that can be enjoyed by many generations of families with minimal future adaptation.
