伊丽莎白Mews住宅
Elizabeth Mews House / Trewhela Williams

该项目位于伦敦北部的Primrose Hill地区，是一座庭院住宅的改造项目，包含了车库的改造以及一层的翻新，建筑坐落在一条宁静的石板路马厩小巷中，这里是Belsize Park保护区内，因此任何面向街道的改动都需谨慎处理，以免破坏马厩小巷现有的历史风貌。重复出现的木质面板门是该小巷作为马厩和马车住所历史遗迹的一部分，并且至今仍是其整体风貌的重要组成元素。因此，设计师认为最合适的方式是以精心的木工设计对原有的门洞进行巧妙改造。

The project comprises a garage conversion and ground floor refurbishment of a courtyard house on a quiet cobbled mews in Primrose Hill, North London. Elizabeth Mews falls within the Belsize Park Conservation Area which means that any proposed street-facing alterations to the garage needed to be carefully considered so as to not harm the existing character of the mews. The repeating wood-paneled doors are a legacy from the mews' origins as stabling and coach accommodation and remain a key contributor to its overall character. It was therefore felt most appropriate to sensitively repurpose the existing door opening with a carpentry insert.







车库门被重新构想为精致的橡木百叶屏风，旨在平衡引入自然光与通风的需求，同时提供隐私保护与遮阳功能。从小巷入口远观，这些百叶屏风呈现出一种稳固的印象，而当人们靠近时，其层次感如翻动的书页般展开。这种平面、体量与边缘的趣味性排列，令人联想起艺术家Donald Judd的胶合板雕塑作品。

The garage door was reimagined as a finely crafted oak finned screen developed to reconcile the competing considerations of admitting daylight and ventilation into the home whilst providing privacy screening and solar shading. When viewed from the gateway to the mews, the flutter of fins retains an impression of solidity which unravels like turning pages on approach. This playful choreography of planes, volumes, and edges recalls the plywood sculptures of artist Donald Judd. The sculptural simplicity of the overall carpentry composition was achieved by concealed restraint fixings, tightly abutting joints, grain alignment, a unifying white oil finish, and frameless detailing of the glazing. Set back behind the central fins, this glazing unit can tilt as a window for cross-ventilation, or turn inwards as a door to allow the family cat to venture out.



这一建筑设计在尊重小巷原有窗户布局秩序的基础上，为其风貌带来了低调而庄重的演变。焕然一新的立面为邻里带来了更丰富的视觉活力、安全监控，以及充足的光照。设计师希望该项目能够为邻里树立积极的典范，鼓励更多的改造项目，持续推动街道地面景观的逐步复兴。

The architectural approach respects the established fenestration order of the mews, whilst offering a quietly dignified evolution of its character. The enlivened frontage contributes greater visual animation, passive surveillance, and illumination to the neighborhood.  The hope is for the project to set a positive precedent for other neighbors to follow suit with their own garage conversions and continue this incremental revitalization of the ground-level street scene.







室内空间中，一层的平面布局沿着前后轴线进行了重新规划，一条长达9米的长廊式厨房贯穿整座建筑，将街道与现有庭院连接起来。在靠后的区域，厨房扩展为一个用餐区，随后收缩为一个小型的舒适休息区。宁静、沉思的室内氛围通过色调与材质的微妙变化来定义，使空间整体统一。这一设计的核心是一种特殊的丹麦灰泥，它将墙面与天花板统一为织物般的表面，仿佛暗示着未定义的纺织材料。工作台面由云白色的穆拉大理石制成，其厚重的边缘在视觉上优于上方精致的金属架，形成了层次分明的对比。这两条线性元素之间由一条带有卡拉拉斑点的水磨石瓷砖带隔开，色彩的运用简约而精准。道格拉斯冷杉木板的玫瑰色暖调与拉丝铜装饰、红叶枫的斑驳深红色叶子以及休息区的玫瑰石英色靠垫相互辉映，营造出和谐的氛围。

Internally, the ground floor plan is re-organized on its front-back axis along a 9m long galley kitchen spanning the full depth of the property linking the street to an existing courtyard. Towards the rear, the kitchen expands into a dining area, before contracting into a small snug seating area beyond. The calm, contemplative interior is defined by tonal and textural nuances that help the space to read as a uniform whole. Central to this is a specialist Danish plaster, which unifies walls and ceilings with a fabric-like surface suggesting undefined textiles. The worktop is formed from a cloudy white Mugla marble; its weighty edge establishes a visual hierarchy over the delicately pressed metal shelf above. These two linear elements are separated by a band of Carrara-flecked terrazzo tiles. Color is used sparingly but with precision. The rosy warmth of the Douglas Fir planks is complimented by the brushed copper accents, the mottled burgundy leaves of the Acer Palmatum Fireglow, and rose quartz cushions to the snug.
