美国洛杉矶Flip Flop住宅

超妹大爱

这是由Dan Brunn建筑事务所设计的Flip Flop住宅。客户期望这座动态的住宅既可以展示艺术收藏品，又可以拥揽威尼斯海滩辽阔的海景。该住宅的特色是通过旋转墙来展示或者藏起艺术品。除此之外，这座5700平方英尺的简约住宅内，大量运用对比的设计手法，硬的和软的、哑光与反光、阴影与光亮的对比处处可见。宽敞的房间实现了内外景观的流动，一望无尽的大海尽在眼前。

客户有三个简单的设计要求——电梯，露台，以及在主沐浴房能看见大海。建筑转角处提供了许多观赏区，同时设有大量出挑的露天阳台。白色的石膏墙与玻璃落地隔墙形成对比。在建筑首层的家庭活动室，可体现室内外空间的流动性。这间大房间采用了宁静的中性色调，对户外的水池开放，使得室内始终保持清凉。这层还布置了日常生活的功能区，如储藏室、电梯、家庭活动室等，还布置了一个藏有1200瓶葡萄酒的地窖，带有内置光照功能的沙滩沐浴等辅助功能区。而建筑二层，作为家庭空间的心脏，提供了充足的社交空间，包括露天阳台、客厅、厨房等。在房子最东边设有两间卧室及公用浴室，为客人提供私密与安静的空间。主卧室坐落在西侧最大的海景房，内设有温暖的壁炉。在宽敞的阳台可以闲逛、看潮汐。

该住宅的设计遵循着可持续发展理念。客户不再需要人工降温，而是利用悬挑平台遮荫，减少地表热量；利用海风降温；首层的浅水池使得建筑室内温度保持凉爽；天窗有助排出热气；排气扇设有自动恒温器，会自动监测每天的热量排放，并作出相应调整。建筑师还设计了屋顶花园，以供未来建设与使用，将收集的雨水用于浇灌一楼的花园。

Design: As its name suggests, the Flip Flop House by Dan Brunn Architecture plays with a sense of duality on multiple design levels. Acting as an architectural chameleon, the dynamic house is malleable to the clients’ desire to both display their art collection and embrace the sweeping vistas of Venice beach. The house’s signature gesture—its top-floor pivoting walls—facilitates this by rotating to display or conceal artwork. Besides the artwork and beach duality, there are other contrasts at work in this 5,700-square-foot minimalist house. The play of hard and soft, matte and reflective, shadow and light permeates every space. Expansive rooms with interior and exterior vistas flow seamlessly into endless ocean views.

Overall, the clients had three simple design requests—an elevator, wraparound terrace, and a view of the ocean from the master shower. The corner lot provides ample viewing areas while massive overhangs facilitate expansive outdoor balconies. Storeys of white plaster along with poured-in-place concrete are separated with glass window walls.

Fluidity between indoor and outdoor spaces can be seen in the ground-level family room. With a serene neutral color palette, the large room opens onto reflecting pools that wrap around the house to help keep it cool. This floor contains features that address the homeowners’ daily needs, such as pantry, elevator, and family room. But the space also includes a ???1,200-bottle wine cellar, beach shower with built-in light that makes the flowing water glow, and reflecting pools, thus addressing their additional functions.

As a minimalist home, Flip Flop House contains an expected precision and craftsmanship-quality of employed design elements. This is especially true on the second floor, where the central glass stairs are most visible and punctuate multiple vantage points. As the heart of the home, the second floor provides ample socializing space, as the sun deck, living room, kitchen, and dining room flow seamlessly into one another.

Sweeping beach vistas and an ocean breeze are always accessible from the large sun deck. Inside, a spacious living room is enclosed in glass on three sides with plenty of space to relax on a large, elegant wraparound sofa. The open-plan kitchen, coupled with the lack of diving walls, keeps the entire floor airy. The kitchen is made from a glass and aluminum Italian system that is fully recyclable. The dining room table’s warm oak wood gives off a welcoming glow amid the predominant whiteness, conveying the communal nature of mealtimes. At the far east side of the house, two bedrooms with shared bath provide guests with privacy and silence.

Wrapping and folding movements are included in every aspect of the design. All finish applications are fluid, as stainless polished steel wraps around the columns, back-painted glass covers kitchen counters and cabinetry, and translucent glazing hangs smoothly around the staircase. Terrazzo rising from the floor glides along each tread like a liquefied sheet of stone.

Much of the top floor is devoted to the master suite. Minimally furnished in black and white, the bedroom is ideally situated on the west side for maximum ocean views and kept warm by a fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling window walls wrap the corner and a generous balcony provides space for lounging and watching the tides. An inner window looks onto the stairwell and to the opposite side of the house.

Sustainability: Many design decisions in the Flip Flop House were made with sustainability in mind. Several features allow Flip Flop House’s owners to forgo artificial cooling, such as large overhangs that provide shading and reduce solar heat gain, the beachfront location that utilizes wind pressure for passive air cooling, and shallow pools at the ground floor level that help keep temperatures low. Operable skylights siphon hot air out, while active fan vents in skylight shafts are automatically activated by thermostats that monitor daily heat gain and adjust accordingly. The architect designed a roof garden for future installation, which will minimize and collect storm water runoff and channel it as irrigation to the first-floor garden.
