我的房子——心理健康院
My House - The Mental Health House / Austin Maynard Architects

由专筑网邢子，李韧编译

有一些建筑师有受虐倾向，有一些建筑师容易自我毁灭，这些都不是恰当的调节方式，但是人们常常会处于“我工作过度，我被剥削，我理想未实现”的工作状态中。 随着研究发现，不科学的工作条件可能会导致一些重大的精神心理问题。  

Some architects are masochists. Some architects are readily self-destructive, not in a fun adventurous way, but in a boring “I’m over-worked, exploited and unfulfilled” way. As research emerges, it appears working conditions can lead to some significant mental health issues within the profession.

关于工作条件的许多问题在我写的《工作/生活/工作平衡》一文中有详细介绍，这篇文章在Parlor，Archdaily和AMA网站上均有发表。 当时我没有公开这篇文章是由于这是我自己与心理健康的斗争记录。 在许多方面，这篇文章不仅仅是针对工作条件的不满，而另一个程度上这更像是一种宣泄。

Many of the issues surrounding working conditions are detailed in the (surprisingly popular) essay I wrote: Work/Life/Work Balance published on Parlour, Archdaily and the AMA website. I didn’t make public at the time that the essay was a result of my own struggles with mental health. In many ways the essay was not just a rant about working conditions, as much as it was a catharsis.

“在澳大利亚，研究发现有45％的人在一生中或多或少都会遇到心理健康问题。每一年，约有一百万澳大利亚人遭受抑郁症的折磨，超过二百万人有焦虑症状出现。”

“In Australia, it's estimated that 45 per cent of people will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. In any one year, around 1 million Australian adults have depression, and over 2 million have anxiety.”

在冬天结束的时候，我拜访了我的医生，和他讨论我所遭受的焦虑和压力。 在讨论时，我的医生指出在冬末/春初几个月期间，他的诊室的患者数量急剧飙升，这可能是由于缺乏阳光和维生素D而引起的病症。他问我的房子是什么样的，我说，很黑暗。

It was the end of winter and I visited my doctor to discuss my increasing levels of anxiety and stress. Whilst discussing mental health, my doctor pointed out that he experiences a sharp spike in patients seeking help during the late-winter/early-spring months, maybe due to lack of sunlight and vitamin D. He asked me what my house was like. Dark, I said.

My-House 是我的家，同时也是Austin Maynard建筑事务所的办公室。 我的家人和我住在楼上，而Austin Maynard Architects在楼下办公。

My-House is my home. It is also the office of Austin Maynard Architects. My family and I live upstairs, whilst Austin Maynard Architects occupies the shopfront downstairs.

作为恢复心理健康的一部分，我决定翻新这座房子，用建筑的技能改善自己的心理健康状况。 我住在一个黑暗的地方，我需要阳光，但不仅仅只是需要阳光，所以我决定重新设计整个空间。我决定将原来的家一分为二，露台仍然保留，但延伸至一个明亮、精心制作的温室。露台设有高高的天花板和小窗户，拓展部分有Thermoclick屋顶，大玻璃墙将厨房和用餐区延伸至阳光充足的花园。 在房子中央是和Austin Maynard建筑事务所的共用的浴室和厨房。 其上是一个开放的平台，栽满了植物，供我们平时休息。

As part of my return to mental wellbeing I decided I would renovate my home. I would use my skill set to maximise my mental health. I was living in a dark terrace, and I decided that I didn't just want to get more light. I decided to create the complete antithesis of the original terraces spaces. I aimed to create a dichotomous home. The original terrace remains with all of its problems and charms, yet the new extension is a bright, elaborate greenhouse. The terrace has high ceilings and small windows. The extension has a clear Thermoclick roof. A large glass wall opens the kitchen/dining area out onto the sun drenched garden. There is a box in the centre of the house that has a bathroom, kitchen and a utility area for Austin Maynard Architects. Above is an open platform, full of plants, that we lounge around on.

My-House是自我的实验，我不敢为客户这么设计住宅。 它打破了许多重要的规则，甚至并不是最实用的方式。沐浴在阳光下的My-House通常会出现很多问题。虽然这是一个可持续的家园，但My-House并不像我为别人设计的房屋那样高效。 隐私和个人舒适的问题在My-House中常常受到挑战。 但尽管有这些问题存在，这仍然不影响我和我的家人对它的喜爱。

My-House is an experiment that I live in. It is a home that I dare not impose on my clients. It breaks many important rules, often not in a good way. My-House lets in sunlight where a house should not. Whilst it is a very sustainable home, My-House is not as thermally efficient as the homes I design for others. Issues of privacy and personal comfort are often challenged in My-House. It is for these reasons that my family and I also love it.
