William Samuels creates relocatable home as "radical departure" from standard house

新西兰的这栋住宅采用波纹金属外壳模块的设计，可以使用拖车来将其轻松移动，是标准式住宅的替代品。

面临着“在难以负担的市场中寻找自己住房”的挑战，建筑师William Samuels设计的 Studio House（单人住宅） 是一种可以放置在临时租赁土地中的住宅，如有需要，还可以搬迁或扩建。

The corrugated metal-clad modules of this home in New Zealand were designed to be easily moved by using a trailer, as an alternative to standard houses.
Faced with the challenge of finding his own home in an unaffordable market, architect William Samuels developed Studio House as a dwelling that could be placed on leased land and then relocated or expanded should the need arise.



Samuels解释说：“新西兰的住房问题已经到了紧要关头，很多人都无法拥有自己的住房......我们转而寻求其他途径，在租赁的土地上建造可搬迁的房屋。我们可以通过租赁土地，从而将预算全部用于建造房屋，而不是将大部分可用资金用于购买土地。”

"Housing in New Zealand is at crisis point, with home ownership being unobtainable for so many in our country... we instead looked at alternative paths, building a relocatable house on leased land," explained Samuels.
"By leasing land, we could direct our budget entirely towards the construction of the home, rather than sinking most of the available funds into the purchase of land."



Studio House 由两个木结构的桶拱模块组成，并排放置，稍加偏移，从而形成一个42平方米的住宅。

其中一个模块包括：厨房、书房和浴室，通向室外木制露台；另一个模块包括：上方带着小夹层空间的起居室和卧室。

Studio House is comprised of two timber-framed, barrel-vaulted modules, positioned side-by-side and slightly offset to create a 42-square-metre dwelling.
One module contains a kitchen, study and bathroom and opens onto an area of wooden decking, while the other contains a living area and bedroom with a small mezzanine space above.



William Samuels Architects的设计理念是“重新思考我们对家的理解”，事务所将舒适感和室内外之间的联系放在首位，并在住宅的两端采用了带天窗的高拱形天花板。

室外全部采用波纹锌铝板，并配有大型玻璃移门，室内的墙壁和天花板则采用木板铺设。

Samuels在采访中说：“采用桶状拱顶形式有几个原因。首先，我们希望再增加室内的高度和体积，但由于每个模块的宽度有限，高而窄的房间比例会让人感到压抑。”

他还补充说：“这样的房间还产生了令人难以置信的趣味感空间，加之内部的温暖和舒适感，这有助于创造一个有‘家’氛围的空间。”

Intended as a "rethink of what we value when we think of home", William Samuels Architects prioritised a feeling of comfort and a connection with the outdoors, introducing high, vaulted ceilings with skylights at each end.
The exteriors were clad entirely in corrugated zincalume panels and feature large, sliding glass doors, while inside wooden planks line the walls and ceilings.
"The barrel vaulted form was used for a number of reasons," Samuels told Dezeen. "Firstly, we wanted to gain extra height and volume within the space, however given the limited width of each module the proportions of a tall, narrow room would have felt constricting."
"It also created incredibly interesting spatial qualities along with a feeling of warmth and comfort internally which helps create a space that feels like 'home'," he added.



虽然一座studio house目前只由两个模块组成，但Samuels的设想是，如果有必要，未来还可以增加模块。当需要搬迁时，每个模块都可以分开并从地基上抬起，然后再单独运输。

While Studio House currently has two modules, the idea is that this could grow with future additions if necessary.
When relocation is needed, each module can be separated and lifted off its foundations before being individually transported.



Samuels说：“现在，这是我们的家。如果有了孩子，我们可能会在家里再加一个模块，增加一间卧室。”他继续说：“鉴于这个项目的实验性质，这个过程的主要成果之一就是在设计可搬迁的小型住宅时，我们学到了什么行得通，什么行不通。”

"For now, this is our home," said Samuels. "If children come along we will likely add another module on to the home to add an extra bedroom."
"Given the experimental nature of the project, one of the main outcomes of this process are lessons about what does and doesn't work when designing small, relocatable homes, which has left us well-placed as a practice to apply these learnings to other projects," he continued.
