这个项目客户的设计概要很简单,即功能上最大限度地利用未开发的空间,同时更多地容纳绿色植被,美学角度上,丰富地利用石灰华作为建筑的外层涂料,这是设计师受到意大利城市图景影响的结果,同时这种材料也能完美地表达住宅的个性。住宅由两个平行的体量组成。它们两者之间由透明的封闭的桥体连接。这两个体量之间的分离可以使阳光直穿地下室空间。厚厚的石灰华墙壁和巨大的悬挑被放置于西侧,以减少过热的太阳光。入口,起居和卧室纵向地分布,最大限度地利用十字通风和日光。为了高效利用土地,而不是仅仅呈现一个突兀的建筑,四层的住宅包含一个地下层和三层向内偏向的楼层。 The client’s brief for this house was simple. Functionally, to maximize usable area and to incorporate greenery. Aesthetically, to use travertine copiously as an architectural finish. Inspired by the Italian urban-scape during his travels, so too would travertine express this house. The house is organized as two parallel blocks connected by a glass enclosed bridge. The separation between the two blocks allows daylight to stream down to basement spaces. Thick travertine walls and large overhangs are placed on the western side to limit heat gain from the harsh afternoon sun. The entry, living spaces and bedrooms are arranged longitudinally to take advantage of natural cross ventilation and daylight. In order to intensify land use without ending up with an imposing structure, the four storied house has one level sunk into the ground and the other three set away from the access road.
