White Rabbit House / Gundry & Ducker

来自建筑事务所的描述：这座住宅属于原来建造于上世纪70年代的新乔治亚时代建筑的部分露台，其场地上原来是一座大型维多利亚时期别墅。这个露台有着典型的上世纪60年代的风格。建筑的前侧立面是新乔治亚时代风格，室内布局和设计则是70年代的风味。建筑师将内部拆除，只剩下墙体和屋面，然后通过全新的内部空间来表达乔治亚时期风格的现代特征。项目围绕着悬挑楼梯，通过楼梯人们可以直接进入到上部的房间。

Text description provided by the architects. The house is part of a terrace of 1970s neo-Georgian houses, built on the site of demolished large Victorian Villas. This terrace is one of many similar examples built in a ten year period from the mid-1960s around Canonbury. Whilst the front facade was designed in the Neo-Georgian style, the interior layout and design were generic 1970’s housebuilders. Stripping out the entire interior back to just the external walls and the roof, we inserted a new interior as a modern interpretation of a Georgian house interior. The design is centered around a cantilevered pill-shaped staircase that sits in a triple-height space with the upper rooms accessed directly off the stair.







走廊里有着大理石与水磨石地面，一直延续向楼梯。后部的扩建部分是厨房和餐厅。屋顶吊灯让空间更加明亮。由于规划条件的限制，老虎窗无法延伸向后，因此建筑师只能在内部可利用空间里充分地发挥。

The hallway has a chequerboard floor in marble and terrazzo with the terrazzo continuing up the staircase. A rear extension provides a kitchen and dining space. A full-width roof light illuminates the middle of the plan. Local planning restrictions inexplicably prevented dormer windows to the rear (or any form of roof extension). Our solution was to move the floor levels around to achieve three stories, within the available space.



建筑师的设计目的是构成一条贯穿建筑的对比流线。入口大厅的体量和外部拱形形态形成对比。从前侧到拱形花园窗户有着视觉上的联系，后侧立面则由白色砖石和水磨石共同构成，呼应了乔治亚风格的大理石壁炉。

The design was intended to provide a contrasting route through the house. The initial volume of the entrance hall is contrasted by the scale of the arched tunnel beyond. There is a visual link through the house from the front door through to the arched garden window and space beyond. The rear facade is composed of white brick and terrazzo and alludes to Georgian marble fireplace surrounds.







该项目很好地表达了精湛的工艺，现代楼梯的建造方式与维多利亚或乔治亚风格楼梯都相同，因此悬臂式楼梯完全在现场建造。建筑师还与水磨石专家共同合作，研制了结合现浇与定制特点的混合水磨石，这种材料用于楼梯踏板、地面、工作台面，以及立面覆层中。

The project was an opportunity to explore the skills of craftsman some of whom we have been working with for some years. The cantilevered staircase was built entirely on-site and although contemporary is built in the same way a Victorian or Georgian staircase would be built. We also worked with a terrazzo specialist on a bespoke mix terrazzo used both in-situ and precast formats. This formed the stair treads, the flooring, worktops and the cladding of the rear façade.
