住宅附加建筑体量的特征通常是通过两个独特的处理方式达到的:模仿原始建筑体量的风格,以便将附加建筑体量与原始建筑体量变得别无二致;或者创造一些与原始建筑体量相比明显新的和不同的特征。我们在对Brahler住宅的扩建过程中既没有模仿原始建筑体量,也没有创造完全新奇的风格,因为这都不能满足项目的要求;场址独特的品质和想要将附加建筑体量整合进原始建筑体量的愿望要求我们提供一个混合策略。 项目的场址拥有一个引人注目的、从街道下降到一条小河的斜坡,小河将项目的场址一分为二的划分了开来。项目场址的边缘上长满了密集的树木,从紧凑的郊区社区中保护了居住者们的隐私。原始的、老旧的、摇晃的、包层的建筑结构是一个古雅的村舍风格,客户想要保存这样的风格,但是要加强开放的、充满自然光线的内部空间。新增加的主卧、走廊和室内/室外的休闲娱乐空间补足了原始的项目结构。 译者:蝈蝈 Architecture for residential additions is often characterized by two distinct approaches: imitate the style of the home so the addition is indistinguishable or create something clearly new and different. Neither mimicry nor novelty would suffice for the expansion of the Brahler Residence; the unique qualities of the site and a desire to integrate with the existing architecture called for a hybrid strategy. The site possesses a dramatic downward slope from the street toward a brook that bisects the lot. A densely wooded perimeter provides privacy from the compact suburban neighborhood. The existing century old shake clad structure is a quaint cottage style that the client wished to maintain but enhance with open interior spaces filled with natural light. A new master suite, gallery, and indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces supplement the existing program.
