场地面积:2500平方米 这是对一个既有别墅的改造项目,虽然老别墅已经破败不堪,但是客户很享受住宅自身的灵性,换句话说客户就是想要一个带有老房子感觉的新住宅。唯一可行的扩建是从原有住宅两侧出发的自由扩建,及延伸住宅的整体高度,最后达到十一米高。设计师决定采用一个表皮将既有住宅包裹,同时为住户定义新的空间。空间布局完全围绕一个中心的空洞展开,一个新的北侧墙壁的楼梯服务于一层和二层。对于设计可行性和对空间所带来的益处的考虑形成了一系列的折叠和切面,这层表皮好似一个立于既有结构之上的帽子,但同时它又能承重,减少了附加部分形成的多余重量。 The project is a redevelopment of a villa located in a green neighbourhood of Rotterdam. Although the existing house proved to be highly inefficient with a set of substantially unusable spaces, the clients really enjoyed the feeling and “the soul of the house”, in other words the task became providing a new house in preserving the spirit of the old house. The only possible expansion of the foot print were the permission free extension from the two side walls of the original house and to extend to a new maximum height of 11m. We have decided to use this given maximum envelop as a guide line to form the skin wrapping around the old house and shape new spaces for inhabitation. The layout has been totally reorganized around a central void. A new staircase on the north wall is servicing first and second floor. Folds and facets were generated by an intuitive rationalism following what was permitted and what would benefit the space inside. This skin became the structure which sits like a hat on top of the existing and works as a load carrier to bring down the additional weight induced by the new floors and roofs.
