来自建筑事务所的描述：该项目位于伦敦东部Shoreditch的一片废弃场地之中，Urban Mesh Design ltd事务所在这里设计了一座面积220平方米的家庭住宅。项目的客户是工作室总监Oliver Lazarus和他的家庭。火山住宅有着4间卧室、地面层工作室，以及一系列家庭办公室和花园露台，还有着如同黑色火山般的砖石立面。

Text description provided by the architects. An abandoned plot in Shoreditch, East London has been transformed into a 220sqm new build family home by architects Urban Mesh Design ltd. Designed by and for practice director, Oliver Lazarus, and his family, Volcano House is complete with four bedrooms, ground floor studio, a series of home offices and garden terraces and a stunning facade of bespoke ‘Black Volcano’ brickwork.



项目场地前方是一个杂货铺，这里曾经是一片开阔的庭院，自2008年以来就一直处于空置状态。Urban Mesh设计事务所敏锐地发掘了项目场地的发展潜力，在这里设计了一座住宅，建筑有着不规则的几何形态，呼应了五彩斑斓的街道。

Previously an open yard to the rear of a grocery shop, the site had been vacant since 2008. Urban Mesh saw potential in a site shunned by other developers and designed a house to transcend the narrow geometry of the plot and complement an already colourful street.





火山住宅位于CoateE2大街，面向一条东西方向的人行道，这条道路位于新兴的Oval空间和宁静的Haggerston公园之间。建筑场地位于一片保护区内，这里有着许多现代住宅和文化遗产，因此许多人会步行来到此地，Urban Mesh设计事务所希望这里能够成为伦敦东部的全新景观场所。

Volcano House sits on Coate Street E2, a pedestrian thoroughfare that runs east west between the burgeoning Oval Space and the tranquillity of Haggerston Park. Sited in a conservation area, the locale is also blessed with a number of modern house gems and given this heritage and the increasing foot traffic through the area, Urban Mesh were keen to add to this East London landscape.



鉴于外观相对较小的布局及其在街道上的突出性，Urban Mesh设计事务所的建筑师们着重表达了项目的质量而非体块的数量，从而形成独特的空间效果。建筑师与砖石供应商Erkan Nihat of EBM、砖石专家Peper of HG Matthews共同合作，为这个项目量身定制了创新的“黑色火山”砖石材质。

Given the relative small layout of the exterior and its prominence on the street, Urban Mesh were able to focus on quality over quantity and deliver something unique. Working closely with brick supplier Erkan Nihat of EBM and brick maestro Ian Peper of HG Matthews they developed an entirely bespoke and innovative ‘Black Volcano’ brick specifically for the project.





建筑有着三种不同的砖石处理方式和镜面抛光面板，形成具有反射效果的表面形态，因此建筑在白天看上去如同半透明的体量，而到了晚上在灯光的照耀下更加显得熠熠生辉。

Consisting of three bands of differing brick treatment and throwing mirror polish slips into the mix creates a surface that is as reflective as it is enveloping: by day a semi transparent elevation and by night a reflective beacon of the bright lights of the East End.







住宅的室内设计满足了Lazarus和家人的个性化需求。整座住宅充满了色彩缤纷的个性化。在餐厅空间有着淡绿色滑动门，而厨房单元则有着悬臂式海蓝色皮制软座和桃红色长椅。玻璃门融入墙体，霓虹灯熠熠生辉，楼梯成为了空间的内部景观。在建筑的三层，主要浴室有着两个踏步，分别以不同的角度放置在石材水槽处，并通过竹制露台面向街道，形成具有隐私的空间。

The interiors of the home were playfully designed to suit the desires and personalities of Lazarus and his family. As a result, the home is filled with colourful and individual touches throughout. In the main dining space sliding pastel green kitchen units are complemented by a cantilevered sea-blue wrap-around leather banquette and reclaimed peach church pew. Glass doors disappear into walls, neon hearts glow, stairs become periscopes. In the 3r d floor master bathroom a well placed step puts the 6’3” and 4’11” couple at equal heights at double stone sinks as well as providing access to a secluded street facing bamboo terrace.



上部空间主要用作音乐、游戏、工作场所，这既呼应了创意式空间规划策略，同时也结合了家庭原有的维多利亚式小型房间特征。

在地面层同样有着大型院落，中间是一棵梨树，在院落之中还设置有客房和一个开放式空间，Lazarus的妻子会在这里练习瑜伽，并且也会在这里工作。

At upper levels circulation areas expand to become music, games and homework spaces - as much a salute to creative space planning as a reaction to the family’s previous corridored Victorian maisonette.
The Ground floor provides a calm refuge arranged around a large pear tree planted within a glazed courtyard containing guest accommodation and an airy open ceilinged studio space for Lazarus’ yoga and health practitioner wife











项目的地块较大，宽度为3.7米，深度为20米，由于墙体和采光井的设置，这座住宅之中充斥着充足的自然采光。甚至场地的形态也成为了设计思路，建筑师将建筑的后部设计得略宽一些，使得使用面积得以增大，当使用者从前方来到后侧，会感受到空间愈发开阔。

Oliver Lazarus是Urban Mesh设计事务所的总监，同时也是火山住宅的使用者，他说：“这个项目从规划到设计再到最后施工，整个过程都十分和谐，如果有机会，没有建筑师可以抵制建造自己的房子的机会， 特别是离伦敦这么近的家。项目场地的特征使得我们将建筑与街道景观相结合，并且融入功能，形成良好的空间效果。这座家庭住宅为我们提供了一个契机，让我们能够在自己所热爱的地方规划自己的家。”

Despite the plot size, 3.7m wide at front, and 20m in depth, the home is filled with natural light from generous glazing in recesses that resulted from extensive party wall and rights of light negotiations. Even the plot shape formed part of the design process as negotiations with a neighbouring development resulted in a widened rear and a beguiling wedge shaped footprint to the building that subtly opens up as you pass from front to back.
Oliver Lazarus, Director of Urban Mesh and occupant of Volcano House said “The project has been a labour of love from purchase and planning through to construction and fit out but, given the opportunity, what architect could resist the opportunity to build their own house, especially so close to home in London. The nature of the site pushed us as architects to create something engaging in the streetscape and internally to create a generous home with functional, beautifully proportioned and well connected spaces. As a family it gave us the incredible opportunity to build a lifetime home in an area we lived and loved.



火山住宅提名2019年砖石大奖（2019 Brick Awards）的创新与建筑类（Innovation and Architects’ Choice）。
