一座小木屋
Chalet A / Matière Première Architecture

由专筑网小R编译

这座始建于上世纪50年代的建筑的新房主十分着迷于曾经流行的A型框架小屋，因此希望这座建筑的翻新改造也能够在此基础上拥有21世纪的新风格，这座建筑位于加拿大蒙特利尔东部小镇的一片森林之中，甚至能够接触到水源，这里的冬季十分漫长，人们几乎无法进入，这也造成了人们长时间对于这片区域的忽视，使得建筑裸露在加拿大的寒冷冬天之中。

Text description provided by the architects. Charmed by the ever-so-popular typology of the A-frame cottage, the new owners of this 1950s property aspired to renovate and revitalize the cottage into a 21st-century home. Located in the Eastern Townships, near Montréal, this unique structure sits on an evergreen forest, nearly touching the water on its breathtaking waterplane. Inaccessibility during the long winter months greatly contributed to accumulated neglect, essentially exposing the old cabin to years of harsh Canadian winters.







客户和当地的建筑工作室Matière Première Architecture共同合作，除此之外还有施工公司Nu Drom，共同设计改造了这座三层小屋，为了保留简约的A型框架形态，同时还强调生态策略，建筑师设计了一系列的空间，强调了建筑和水的共生关系，优化了屋面的可用空间。

The owners engaged with a resourceful local architect studio, Matière Première Architecture, and its affiliated construction company, Nu Drom, to design and renovate the 3-seasons cottage. Obtaining a simple brief honoring the A-frame typology, with an emphasis on an ecological approach, the architects designed a series of spaces that promote its juxtaposition with the water, while optimizing the available space of the cottage for better usage.







概念&内部空间。该项目可以容纳一系列的流动和放松空间，同时保留和水源的亲密关系，建筑完美地捕捉了建筑结构之外的自然景观，给使用者带来了舒适的生活体验，同时也成为了生活的基本感受，A型框架轮廓构成了有趣的空间氛围，让自然湖景展示出来，在整个项目之中，内外的关系始终保持连贯，外部的环境直接表达于内部空间。

Concept & interior spaces. The project was designed to host a series of fluid and relaxing spaces while offering a close relationship to the lake. The architecture beautifully captures the natural landscape that unfolds beyond its structure, which becomes fundamental to the living spaces with its offering of an intimate and cozy experience for its occupants. The A-frame silhouette produces playful spaces, while continuously offering views toward the lake. This undisturbed relation with the exterior is held throughout the project, exposing the cycles and the rhythms of the ever-changing weather.



材质。这是一座海滩住宅，室内设计强调了浅色调，表达了轻松愉悦的感受，其中还应用了休闲家具，结合了地毯和亚麻构件，给起居室带来了温暖气息，建筑师应用了当地的可持续耐用材料，比如白色松木地板、裸露的木框架，以及云杉面板，外部设计强调了耐用特征，应用了诸如白色雪松面板、金属屋面，以及铝制窗框等材料，它们都能够减缓空间的老化，同时还不影响建筑的使用。

Materiality. Designed as a beach house, the interior design emphasizes lighter tones in shades of white and sage to promote a relaxed feel. It also embraces casual furnishings, with welcoming rugs and linen accessories, to add warmth to the living spaces. The architects selected local, sustainable, and durable materials, including white pine flooring, exposed timber framing, and painted spruce boards. The exterior design focused on more durable materials, such as natural white cedar siding, metal roofing, and aluminum windows. These materials contribute to the controlled aging of the cabin without risking its longevity.





功能。建筑的占地面积很小，多个起居空间都集合在一起，A型框架的主要大开窗让内部空间的餐厅、客厅能够欣赏到外部风景，全新的楼梯建造于餐厅后方的隐蔽位置，使用者可以通过楼梯来到夹层区域，其下方是起居室，这里面向自然景观构成了一个舒适安全的阅读区，餐厅的旁侧是紧凑的厨房，独立的休息空间和主要小屋相连，给使用者提供了更多的生活区域。

Program. The cottage integrates multiple living spaces within its relatively small footprint. The A-frame main large window was shifted toward the interior to accommodate a larger exterior dining area, followed indoors by the living room and dining nook, all offering spectacular views of the lake through the large windows. A new stair was relocated to a more discreet position at the rear of the dining nook, leading to a mezzanine. Nestled above the living room, it offers a cozy reading net facing the lake, while removing the need for a railing. The compact kitchen adjoins the dining nook, and a separate dormitory pavilion sits adjacent to the main cottage, offering more space for guests.



施工。通向场地的道路较为陡峭，因此施工起来十分具有挑战，需要步行许久才能到达项目场地，材料的运送和拆除都十分困难，还需要以生态的思路进行施工指导，那么就需要尽可能多地将旧材料进行回收。

Construction. The very steep and limited access to the site posed challenging construction conditions, with well over 150 steps required to reach the cottage. Difficult access to deliver new materials and to remove existing materials, guided the construction in an ecological mindset, leading to the recovery of as many existing materials as possible.



这样的设计措施也使得客户依据现有的策略，对建筑进行了细致的改造，场地上安装了临时的起重机，用于运输建筑材料，同时也可以保护场地沿路的树木植物，这是客户十分强调的内容，并且尽可能地保护周边的水源，沿岸也增加了当地的植物，促进生物的多样性发展。

This undertaking motivated the clients to meticulously and thoroughly renovate the cottage in line with current building practices. A temporary cable crane was erected to transport all construction materials to the site while ensuring the protection of mature trees along its path. The client emphasized the conservation of all existing trees, as well as the revitalization of the lakefront. Local indigenous plants were added to the shoreline to promote organic renaturalization.
