Foo House / The Ranch Mine

由专筑网小R编译

来自建筑事务所的描述：陶瓷在人类的历史上对于社会的发展起到了至关重要的作用，在2018年，美国菲尼克斯市中心一大片土地的所有者，其中有一位陶瓷艺术家，委托Ranch Mine建筑事务所为自己设计一座新住宅，希望家人能够在其中愉快生活，“Foo”是受到古代陶瓷影响而存在的建筑，其结构坚固且灵活，形式精确，有着不完美的肌理，以及灵活多变的体量。

Text description provided by the architects. Pottery has played a critical role in most societies in human history as well as our modern-day understanding of those societies. In 2018, owners of a large piece of land centrally located in Phoenix, including a ceramic artist, approached architecture firm The Ranch Mine to design a new home in which their family could grow and create. Influenced by the ancient art of pottery, ‘Foo’ is a house designed to be rigid in structure while malleable in use, precise in form while imperfect in texture, and varied in volume while limited in materials.







建筑被划分为几个功能单元，其中有起居空间、睡眠空间，以及日用空间，它们位于场地上，构成了一个大型院落，建筑师应用这些建筑空间实现了对于阳光的适当遮挡，使用者可以在户外进行娱乐和玩耍，在建筑外部，使用者会来到一个露台上，这里有餐饮和烧烤区旁边还有着火坑区域、橄榄林，以及配备有集中式热水的游泳池，因此在不同的气温下使用者都可以进行娱乐活动，就生产而言，场地上有着鸡舍、水果林，以及蔬菜种植区。

Schematically the house is broken into its functional elements, a living volume, a sleeping volume, and a utility volume. They are arranged on the site to create a large courtyard, using the buildings to provide privacy and shelter from the desert sun. The outdoor areas were designed for both pleasure and production. Stepping out from the house you are welcomed into a covered patio with a dining and grilling area just steps away from a sunken fire pit area, olive grove, and pool with an integrated Baja shelf and hot tub providing numerous entertaining possibilities for all types of weather. In terms of production, the property includes a chicken coop, citrus grove, stone fruit grove, and raised planting beds for vegetables and herbs.







建筑的外部由能够适应沙漠恶劣气候的材料建造而成，其中有混凝土面板、生锈的波纹金属、灰泥、钢、玻璃，每个材料都有着自己的特征，可以随着时间的推移而变化，它们构成对比，又相互协调。建筑的内部应用了木材，让空间看起来温馨一些，树木得以重新应用，构成了定制的餐桌和通向阁楼的楼梯，除此之外，木材还应用在厨房、化妆间、走廊角落，结合了混凝土面板。

The exterior of the house is composed of materials well suited for the harsh, desert environment such as board-formed concrete, rusted corrugated metal, hand-troweled stucco, steel, and glass. Each material is unique in texture and finish, changing over time with help from the weather, and composed in ways to contrast and complement each other. The interior adds wood to this palette, adding warmth and also history, as a fallen tree was reused to create the custom dining room table and the stair treads to the loft. Wood cabinetry is often used right up against the board-formed concrete in places like the kitchen, powder room vanity, and homework nook in the hallway.   







整座建筑有着通高的拱形空间，改善了生活感受，同时突出某些元素，比如混凝土壁炉可以将使用者的视线吸引向天花板，而开放的起居空间上方则有一个阁楼，在那里使用者可以远眺山景。经过枝丫过滤的太阳光线通过陶瓷工作室的拱形天花板进入室内，而儿童房的拱形天花板则在浴室和壁橱的上方构成了阅读小天地。

Double height and vaulted spaces were used throughout the home to change the feeling of the living spaces and highlighted by elements like the board-formed concrete fireplace that draws your eye up to the ceiling and over the open living space to a loft that features a steel bar for taking in distance mountain views. The vaulted ceiling in the pottery studio lets in natural light filtered by an old tree while the vaulted ceilings in the kids’ rooms allow for a reading loft above the ensuite bathroom and closet.
