來自建筑事務所的描述:Cullinan工作室近期在英國完成了一個有趣的項目,建筑師通過輕質交叉層壓木材(CLT)和磚石設計建造了一座住宅。
Text description provided by the architects. Cullinan Studio has completed a playfully creative, light-filled, cross-laminated timber (CLT) and brick new-build family home in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.

這座住宅位于上世紀30年代的住宅區之中,周邊有著藝術工藝風格時期的作品。這座兩層的獨立式住宅同樣也彌漫著藝術工藝氣息,建筑的形態方正,有些傾斜的屋面與堅實的材料。建筑師應用了裸露的CLT結構,呼應了工藝特征,同時簡約的材料也構成了簡約的外部特征。但是,與傳統藝術工藝建筑不同的是,推拉住宅將機械化CLT策略應用在現代化施工技術之中。
The house is located in a residential area built in the 1930s, known for its Arts and Crafts architecture. The two-storey detached house is redolent of Arts and Crafts architecture in its well-proportioned solid forms, steep roof and palette of sturdy materials. With an exposed spruce CLT structure, the house echoes the Arts and Crafts ethos of simple forms created through truth to materials. However, unlike the Arts and Crafts movement, which denounced industrial processes, Push-Pull House harnesses modern methods of construction with its use of machine-made CLT.

這樣的設計方式打破了傳統的斜屋面空間體量,將屋頂分隔開,讓建筑體量構成三個部分,使得光線能夠進入到建筑之中,建筑師調整了原有住宅的區域,更好地適應了新家庭的使用需求,同時把建筑朝向花園開放,讓花園成為了家庭空間的一部分。
The design ruptures the volume of a traditional pitched house, pulling it into three parts and cracking open the roof to pour light into the heart of the home. The architects have pushed and pulled the footprint of the original house to better suit the family, orientating the new house towards the garden, making it a natural extension of their home.



這座住宅的主要體量在平面布局上相互對稱,中央是入口大廳和樓梯。建筑入口向內凹陷,兩側則是兩個有著單坡屋面的空間,建筑的基礎部分應用了當地的Chiltern磚石和石灰砂漿,上方則應用了黑色的垂直模板。灰色黏土瓦屋面構成了材料面板,似乎漂浮在上部窗戶上方,不僅讓使用者在臥室里能擁有良好視野,同時也保障了內部的隱私。
The main volume of the house is symmetrical in plan, with an entrance hall and stairwell slicing through the centre. The recessed entrance hall is flanked by two mono-pitched volumes, defined by a brick base of locally-sourced Chiltern brick and lime mortar, topped with black stained vertical timber panels. A sweeping grey clay tile roof completes the materials palette, appearing to float over the high-level eave windows which, in turn, allow views directly from bedrooms into the tree canopy while maintaining privacy.



東側的屋面向下傾斜,構成開放式單層空間,內部設置有廚房、起居室、餐廳,在地面層的西側則有一間為老人提供無障礙臥室,,另外還設置有一間書房和工作室。在大型起居空間下側,建筑師設計了孩子們玩耍的地下空間,一層有四間帶浴室的臥室。
The eastern pitched roof slopes down to an open plan, single-storey volume containing a large ground floor kitchen and living and dining rooms. On the western side of the ground floor there is an accessible bedroom for visiting grandparents and a study and workshop. Beneath the large living area, the architects created a den in the basement for the boys to escape to. The first floor has four corner bedrooms with bathrooms.

建筑的地面層有著大型玻璃窗戶,光線能夠進入到建筑的室內,從早到晚,家人們能夠在室內或花園感受溫暖的陽光。Cullinan工作室的建筑師們能夠十分熟悉地將人們生活空間與自然聯系在一起,從而改善人們的生活環境,而這座住宅正是表達了他們的這種設計理念。
The home is flooded with daylight from full-height glazing on the ground floor, top lighting from the middle hallway and clerestory windows above the hall. From morning to evening, the family enjoys sunlight sweeping across their home and garden. Cullinan Studio is passionate about reconnecting people with nature as a means to improve our health, wellbeing and creativity, and this house captures the spirit of their values.


重疊的區域和通高的墻體構成了一系列的空間場所,讓起居空間流動起來,打造有趣而具有社交感的住宅。一面儲物墻體和東部樓梯相結合,其中展示了家庭的書籍、裝飾品、藝術品,而夾層則是家人們的休息區域,住宅的核心部分是聚會場所。
Overlapping voids and double-height spruce walls form a sequence of volumes so the living spaces flow together, making for a fun and sociable home. A storage wall built into the eastern stair displays the family’s books, ornaments and artwork, and mezzanine floors offer spaces for retreat with views back over across larger gathering spaces at the heart of the home.

Cullinan工作室通過可持續策略給客戶帶來了定制的設計方針,讓建筑專屬于使用者,讓他們能夠自由地生活于此,這里有著寬敞的空間、充足的采光、溫馨的室內區域、清新自然的花園,仿佛一切都被大自然所包圍著。
Cullinan Studio offered its client a bespoke solution which met the family’s sustainability criteria, and ensured the house was tailored so that the family can play out their daily lives as they’ve always wanted: in a spacious, naturally-lit home connected to their leafy, mature garden and surrounded by the warmth of the exposed timber structure.
