所 在 地:英国 柴郡
这是由Ellis Williams
Architects设计的英国柴郡Lymm水塔改造房。Lymm水塔的改造方案是将一个遗弃的二级水塔改造成一个豪华的当代家庭住房的设计,这一设计赢得了建筑翻新改造奖。八角形石水塔辅以新现代主义环绕的双重高度扩展。这一额外高度的釉面提供了精心挑选的相邻领域的景色,并考虑到了现有建筑的周围成熟的树木。
内部水平的变化,定义了各种空间的角色,提供了不同的风格和功能布局。每一个居住空间都精心的计算着太阳从塔的一段到另一端的距离和时间,以便于在一天中都可以接受到良好的自然日光。外立面上的低耗能的广阔玻璃面板与周围的自然景色和四季的更迭相搭配。屋顶花园高出地面10.21米,是通过一个原始的石质台阶构成的。在这里可以欣赏到Cheshire的无限乡村景色。

Lymm Water Tower is the award winning renovation of a once derelict Grade
II listed water tower into a luxurious contemporary family home.
The
octagonal stone water tower is complemented by a new modernist wrap around
double height extension. This highly glazed addition offers carefully selected
vistas across the adjacent fields and considers the existing mature trees
surrounding the site.
The internal changes in level delineate the roles of
the various spaces offering style and function. Each habitable space is
carefully orientated to experience the changing quality of natural light as the
sun tracks daily from one side of the tower to the other. The vast panels of
low-energy structural glass within the façade allow these spaces a sensory
contact with nature and the seasons.
The tower roof garden, 110 feet above
ground level, is accessed via the original stone staircase and offers
spectacular views across the Cheshire countryside and beyond.
