Sélénite住宅

有些小型项目蕴藏着宏大的愿景。Selenite便是其中之一。这是一处位于魁北克东部小镇的森林小屋，专注于放松与身心健康的体验。委托人是一对年轻的夫妇，他们多年来希望与建筑师合作，以实现他们将生态建筑、健康理念和独特度假体验相结合的愿景。

Some small projects have big ambitions. This is the case of Selenite, a forest refuge focused on relaxation and well-being located in the Eastern Townships, Quebec. The clients, a young self-builder couple, had wanted to work with architects for several years to realize their vision of combining ecological architecture, wellness, and a unique resort experience.







对于委托人来说，项目的一个重要目标是打造一座面向租赁的度假屋，既具有普适的无障碍性，又不牺牲空间的品质。的确，对于行动不便或残障人士而言，租赁乡村住宅可能是一项复杂的任务。因此，所有的通道、设备和家具都经过设计，确保尽可能多的人能够安全通过和使用。

An important aspect of the project for the clients was the desire to offer a chalet for rent that is universally accessible, without skimping on the quality of the space. Indeed, renting a country house can be complex for a person with reduced mobility or a disability. All clearances, equipment, and furniture have therefore been designed to be passable and safe for as many people as possible.







委托人将项目命名为“Selenite”，取自一种名为“月光石”的晶体矿物，据说这种矿物具有舒缓身心的特性。宛如森林中的一处圣殿，在设计初期建筑师便决定，这座小屋将采用形式上单一的白色外观，以强化Selenite的意象及其宁静的特质。出于象征意义与地形条件的双重考虑，项目采用了方形平面布局。这种形式既增强了建筑的紧凑性，又合理分配了主要功能需求，同时强化了项目本身所蕴含的平衡与和谐的意象。

The clients themselves named the project "selenite" in reference to the crystalline mineral also called "moonstone" which is believed to have soothing properties. Like a sanctuary in the middle of the forest, it was set quite early in the process that the lodge would have a formally monochrome white appearance to reinforce the idea of selenite and its restful quality. Both for symbolic reasons and topographical conditions, a square plan was adopted. This form made it possible to increase the compactness of the project and to properly distribute the main programmatic needs while reinforcing the idea of balance and harmony, intrinsic to the identity of the project.



因此，这座住宅呈现为一个边长36英尺的白色立方体，其斜屋顶形态如同一对从中心轴倒置的等比例晶体。从远处观察，这座小屋宛如两座从周围岩基中生长而出的孪生棱柱。每个屋顶顶端都有一个方形天窗穿透其表面，进一步强化了建筑的平衡与对称意象。起居室与浴室配备了天窗，因此层高较高，而阁楼的其他部分则被巧妙地用作存放多种机械设备，这些设备为用户提供更多便利设施，提升居住体验，其中包括完整的水疗系统，包含有蒸汽浴、桑拿、按摩浴缸、冷水浴和盐屋。住宅还配备了完整的智能家居系统，使用者可以通过该系统控制与昼夜节律同步的整体照明，并在任意房间启动引导式冥想课程。

Therefore, the house appears as a white cube measuring 36 feet by 36 feet with a set of sloping roofs resembling two equal crystals inverted from a central axis. Moving away from the lodge we distinguish two twin prisms emerging from the surrounding bedrock. A square skylight pierces each peak, accentuating the idea of balance and symmetry. The living room and the bathroom are the two rooms provided with a skylight and consequently a higher ceiling while the rest of the attic was judiciously used to store several mechanical devices serving other facilities available to users to enhance their stay. Among these, we find a complete hydrotherapeutic circuit, including a steam bath, a sauna, a spa, a cold bath, and a salt room. A complete home automation system is also available to travelers, controlling overall lighting synchronized to the circadian rhythm and allowing them to launch guided meditation sessions in any of the rooms.







考虑到健康且经久耐用的特性，委托人选择了以麻纤维棉为例的墙体保温材料。住宅外部包裹的法拉第笼可以屏蔽电磁波，为电磁过敏人群提供保护。室内的饰面材料全部不含挥发性有机化合物（VOC），而木材则被优先用于项目的柜体设计中。厨房由À hauteur d'Homme工作室设计，采用符合人体工学的理念，注重舒适性、适应性与包容性。

Keen on using healthy and local materials that would stand the test of time, the clients opted for hemp wool wall insulation, as an example. A Faraday cage wrapping the house also blocks electromagnetic waves for people with electro-sensitivity. Interior finishing materials are all VOC-free while wood was favored for the cabinetry elements of the project. Designed by the workshop À hauteur d'Homme the kitchen was ergonomically conceived for comfort, adaptability, and inclusiveness.



住宅的外立面简洁且单一，以木板、大型玻璃窗和金属屋顶构成，同时所有机械设备均被巧妙地涂成白色，强化项目的单色概念。

The exterior envelope, subtle and monochrome, is made up of wooden planks, a large window pane, and a metal roof while all mechanical elements were judiciously painted white to reinforce the monochromatic concept of the project.
