Steam-bent wood wraps house in the Cornish woods

家具设计师Tom Raffield和Danielle Raffield用蒸汽曲木工艺的木材覆盖位于猎场看守人山林旅店的扩建部分。这个曲木小屋位于康沃尔郡森林，于本月初展示于英国电视节目《Grand Designs》。

Furniture designers Tom and Danielle Raffield have used steam-bent timber to cover this extension to an old gamekeeper's lodge in Cornish woodland, which featured in UK television show Grand Designs earlier this month.

该房子坐落于英格兰西南部康沃尔郡的Trevarno庄园的森林中，占地6英亩（约两万四千平方米）。Tom Raffield和他的妻子Danielle也在这里经营他们的家具公司。

该夫妻专门从事蒸汽曲木家具事业——一种利用高温和水分给木材定型的传统工艺。他们希望他们自己的家也使用该工艺。

The house is set in six acres of woodland at the Trevarno estate in Cornwall, southwest England, where Tom Raffield and his wife Danielle also run their furniture company.
They specialise in steam-bent furniture – a traditional way of shaping timber using heat and moisture – and wanted to apply the same technique to their home.

“我们希望建造一个同样注重家具与照明细节的房子。”Tom Raffield说道，“为他人设计家居饰品是一种难以置信的特权。”

“我们从来不设计连我们自己都不想摆放的家居饰品，但之前我们一直没机会为我们自己的空间做设计。”

"We wanted to build a house with the same consideration and attention to detail we put into our furniture and lighting," said Tom Raffield. "Designing objects for other people to put in their home is an incredible privilege."
"We'd never design anything that we wouldn't have in our own home, but we'd never had a chance to design for our own space before."

这个二层房子通过一条玻璃通道与山林旅店的第二部分和扩建部分相连接。

该房子的木材框架是建筑设计师Chris Strike设计的，但蒸汽曲木成品是由Raffield夫妇完成。

The two-storey building is attached to the grade II listed lodge and its outbuildings by a glazed passageway.
The building's timber frame is designed by architectural technologist Chris Strike, but the steam-bent finishes are the work of the Raffields.

该房子完全由来自附近森林里的山毛榉、落叶松、舔栗和橡树制作的弯曲长木条覆盖。

这些木材也用于制作家具和灯具来填充房子——包括悬挂着的茧椅，雕刻工艺的灯具——而外面的长条木材可以从表面拆下来经过弯曲扭曲做成长凳。

It is completely covered in lengths of curving beech, larch, sweet chestnut and oak collected from the surrounding woodland.
These woods are also used to create the furniture and lighting that fill the house – including a hanging cocoon chair and sculptural light fittings – while outside a length of timber is bent and twisted away from the facade to create a bench

“我们很期望尽可能多地使用来自这些森林里的木材。” Tom Raffield说到。

“所有东西都会在暴风雨中倒塌，这些东西被保存着，并且将会被使用在外面。” Danielle Raffield补充道。

"We really wanted to try to use as much timber from within these woodlands," said Tom Raffield.
"Anything that's come down in storms, that's been kept and is going to be used on the outside," added Danielle Raffield.

这个扩建房子安置在山的一侧，一个现存的石头厕所区域的后面。约有3000吨土方被移除来建造让房子可以坐落的壁龛。剩下的山坡则用轮胎和金属框土方加固过。

弯曲的木材覆盖墙装饰了很多房间，包括地面的一个休息室，书房和开敞式平面布局厨房餐厅，以及楼上的两个卧室。

The extension nestles into the side of a hill behind an existing stone toilet block. Around 3,000 tonnes of earth was removed to create the niche it sits in, and the remaining hillside is reinforced by earth-filled tyres and gabions.
Curving wood-covered walls define rooms within – a lounge, study and open-plan kitchen-diner at ground level and two bedrooms above.

蒸汽曲木工艺的橡木和灰包层包围着一个在顶层上的优雅的阳台，虽然该建筑在地面与一个现存的厕所相接。整个建筑通过一个落叶松和玻璃装饰的走廊连接到猎场看守人旅店。

整个过程为第四频道电视节目《Grand Designs》拍摄，由Kevin McCloud敬献。该节目于2016年10月5日星期三播出。

Steam-bent oak and ash cladding surrounds a generous balcony on the upper floor, while the building is linked to the existing toilet block at ground level. The whole structure is then linked to the gamekeeper lodge by a larch and glass passageway.
The whole process was filmed for the Channel 4 television series Grand Designs, which is presented by Kevin McCloud. The show was broadcast on Wednesday 5 October 2016.
