Painter´s Apartment

藝術家公寓

A family of academic artists contacted Neuhäusl Hunal studio by the end of summer 2019 regarding the reconstruction of a fairly small apartment in a panel house on Červený vrch. The apartment required complete reconstruction to suit a young family with a toddler. Clients had chosen Neuhäusl Hunal studio based on their previous realization of the Concrete apartment. The very decisive limit of the project was the restricted budget, however in this case, fairly compensated by the mutual understanding between us architects and the clients.

The answer, for a particular assignment, was an architecture of improvisation, relaxed and free space shoving potential to its users. The core of the design creates life itself – the furniture from clients' old apartment, art made by themselves and their friends, the secondhand lighting, or the fact that part of the reconstruction work was done self-made.

The entrance hall and the kitchen were connected by a straight-forward grid of tiles, also happily spilled on the walls. Disrupting of the grid above the stove created an altar of cooking. The obligatory glassblocks illuminated the bathroom with turquoise grouting. A beautiful original wooden floors in the rooms were refurbished. The original doors were demolished, and the openings in the concrete walls were kept roughly cut. Further, the load-bearing walls and ceilings were cleaned to concrete as far as possible. Finally, installed tin doors allow for creative work with magnets and complete the avant-garde character of the corridor contrasting with the coziness of the living rooms. Within the layout, significant construction changes did not occur. However, the living space was functionally connected to the bedroom, which allowed an independent (children's) room to emerge. In terms of furniture, using plywood, Neuhäusl Hunal studio have created three major interventions: multifunctional open storage block in the hall, full wall block of cabinets in the main room, and complete kitchen with dining corner.

2019年夏末

有兩位充滿學院色彩的藝術家找上紐豪斯・胡納爾事務所，準備在布拉格的紅丘區域（Cervený vrch）的大廈中，重新翻修一間小巧的公寓。這間公寓需要全面翻修，才能讓年輕夫妻與幼兒家庭入住。而屋主之所以選擇紐豪斯・胡納爾事務所，是因為他們曾經看到過去興建的混凝土公寓，與此案最終呈現的樣貌有些許連結。本案明顯預算不高，然而建築師與業主有諸多共識，因此能彌補這個問題。這件設計作品的宗旨是打造充滿即興色彩的建築，讓使用者在令人放鬆自由空間裡，可以盡情發揮潛力。包括屋主舊宅的家具、自己創作的藝術品與友人之作、二手燈具等，甚至部分翻修工程皆由屋主親自動手，使空間和未來要入住的使用者有著緊密連結，住宅核心充滿生命力。

玄關與廚房地面是磁磚呵成一氣地排列，且延伸到牆面，瓦斯爐上方的磁磚格狀位置錯動，因而營造出烹飪聖壇的氣氛。浴室採用的玻璃磚能引進光線，並使用湖水綠的填縫劑。臥室原有的木質地板很美，這次則予以整修擦亮。原本的門片拆除，混凝土牆上的開口保持粗獷裂口。不僅如此，承重牆與天花板也盡量清除裝飾，露出混凝土。最後裝上錫門，讓藝術家們可以用磁鐵把創作貼到門上，如此一來，能使讓走道充滿前衛特色，並與舒適的客廳形成對比。本案的空間布局沒有明顯的結構改變，不過起居空間和臥室有機能連結，兒童房則是獨立出來。室內空間的家具主要使用膠合板，紐豪斯・胡納爾事務所對此提出三大建議：玄關採用多功能的開放式儲物櫃、主空間是整面牆的櫥櫃，用餐區則與廚房合一，讓木頭的純樸自然呼應混凝土的粗獷，一應融合。
