Prefabricated weathering-steel boxes form California retreat by Alchemy Architects

位于Minnesota的Alchemy工作室最近完成了加利福尼亚的索诺玛谷的住宅设计，项目包括两个独立的预制模块，完成后被运送到现场。

这两个模块组成的建筑是跨国合作的结果，是由建筑师和设计师客户共同完成的。

Minnesota-based firm Alchemy Architects has completed a home in California's Sonoma Valley, which comprises two separate modules that were almost entirely prefabricated before being brought to site.
The two modules that make up the home were the result of a cross-country collaboration between the architects and client, who is also a designer.

Alchemy建筑师说：“这座房子是为San Francisco的一名客户设计的，地址位于Oregon，90%的结构是先预制然后运送到建设场地的。”

“该项目是一个证明预制结构效率的最好例子。”

"The home was designed in Minnesota for a client in San Francisco, built in Oregon, and shipped 90 percent complete to its site in Santa Rosa, California," said Alchemy Architects.
"The project proved to be a best-case scenario for illustrating the efficiencies of prefabrication."

两个开放的立方体包裹着耐候钢，放置在两个独立的混凝土底座上。

较大的立方体是为业主设计的，面积有640平方英尺（59.5平方米），并包含一个开放式厨房和餐厅。

Two open-sided volumes clad in weathering steel sit above individual concrete plinths.
The larger one, which encompasses 640 square feet (59.5 square metres) is for the owners, and includes an open-plan kitchen and dining space.

另一个“大模块的缩略版”位于15英尺（4.5米）之外，是为客人设计的。

室内有一个白色橡木衣柜，将卫生间隔离开来。除了保护隐私外，还能充当存储单元。

Another "abridged version of the larger module" lies 15 feet (4.5 metres) away, and is for guests.
It features a whitewashed oak wardrobe that creates a wall for the bathroom. In addition to providing privacy, this feature also acts as a storage unit.

两个简单的金属箱都有大片的玻璃幕墙。

工作室表示，“通高的滑动玻璃墙嵌在定制波纹耐候钢箱内。Ipe钢和油橡木橱柜形成了内部结构。”

The simple metal boxes both feature ample glass facades.
"Full-height sliding glass walls are set into custom corrugated weathering steel boxes," said the firm. "Ipe finishes with oiled oak cabinetry form the interiors."

这两个立方体能通过私人阳台直接访问，私人阳台贯穿了整个立面，可以俯瞰生动的景观。

“山谷里有葡萄园、州立公园、地区公园和Santa Rosa镇”，建筑师说。“保持广阔的视野对客户来说是最重要的。”

Both volumes have direct access to private balconies, which run the whole length of their respective facades and overlook the dramatic landscape.
"The valley is rich with vineyards, a state and a regional park, and the town of Santa Rosa," said the architects. "Maintaining expansive views was paramount to the client."

该模块采用的是基于Alchemy工作室创建的weeHouse预制系统，为了降低成本，项目在现场完成组装。

“每个weeHouse是一个紧凑的、经济的设计，庆祝‘少的奢华’”，依据设计师所说。

The modules used are based on the weeHouse prefabrication system created by Alchemy Architects, intended to minimise costs and onsite assembly.
"Each weeHouse is a compact, economic design that celebrates 'the luxury of less'," according to the designers.

最近美国预制房屋的例子比比皆是。

SHoP建筑师已经完成了在布鲁克林区中心的一个模块化预制单元的居民楼高层建筑，而在Arkansas，一群大学生创造了采用一个长的、上釉的预制悬臂的住宅，重点突出其结构。

Recent examples of prefabricated homes abound in the US.
SHoP Architects has completed a modular residential high-rise made of prefabricated units in the centre of Brooklyn, while in Arkansas, a group of university students created a prefabricated dwelling with a long, glazed cantilever that shows off its structure.
