Home╱Internal Landscape Villa

住宅╱內景別墅

“I wanted to try and create an inner disposition in which people can move naturally, where they can swim like a fish in the water. The kind of relaxed living where you subconsciously anticipate where everything is. The natural flow of the daylight is most important. As light flows through large windows as well as through circular openings in the roof. When I first visited the completed project, my eleven-year-old daughter unexpectedly stayed there for the next three days, because she loved the space so much.“ (Marek Štěpán – Naturalness)
 

This residential project is located very conveniently near the historical town centre. But also, in the close vicinity of large parklands that have favourable influence on the local microclimate.The two-storey residence is located on a gentle sloped terrain, which is fully reflected in the concept. The building is composed of an inner residential landscape facing inwards, into an inverted living experience, in parallel with providing openings into the outside world. The villa is horizontally divided into three different platforms. The entrance platform at the street level is made of concrete and contains the utility rooms. The main living platform with the social area is elevated by a little less than a storey above the street level. The external atrium is elevated by another half metre. The social and resting areas are constructed of timber, and are orthogonal to each other. Both areas are connected to a grassy atrium, the inner core of the whole house. A sauna with a small plunge pool closes the atrium separating it from the street.

The most important areas of the villa are compositionally emphasised. For example, above the dining table there is a large circular window that accentuates it with daylight. The fireplace, as a symbol of a loving home, is situated at the end of the entry axis into the house. A large romanticising motif of Lysá Hora (mountain) decorates the bedroom. The facades of the house are simple and abstract. They express the material essence of the house. The ‘front garden’ is replaced by integrated elevated linear planters.

「我想要創造一種空間特質，讓人能夠自在地移動於各個空間，就如同魚在水裡悠游般順暢。這種輕鬆的居住氛圍會讓你下意識地融入環境，感受在大片窗戶和圓形天井間自然流線的光線，光線在此處扮演了最重要的角色，當我第一次走進完工的作品時，11歲的女兒即刻愛上了整個空間，並且意外的在那裡住了三天。」—馬雷克・斯捷潘《自然誌》

本案位於歷史悠久的小鎮中心不遠處，鄰近大片公園綠地，此處自成一格的小氣候令人怡然自得。共有兩層樓的建築物座落於緩坡地形上，在整體設計方面也充分運用了地形環境的優勢。將建築以中央為核心，利用鏤空的圓形天井將住宅視覺景觀全數朝內引導，延伸出倒置的生活體驗，同時也提供通往室外的入口。

整體住宅以基地的坡形街道為標準，橫向分割成三個高度不同的樓層區域，首先是入口區的混凝土建築，與街道同高，並在入口含有一座工具間，接著是包含交誼廳的主要生活起居空間，高度僅高於街道不到一層樓；而戶外圓形天井則較主要起居空間高出五十公分。交誼廳與休息區域使用木材建造，兩個區域交會成直角格局，並互相連結到充滿綠意的圓天井中庭，形成整座建築的室內核心，圍繞天井的動線利用小型SPA溫泉池收尾，藉此讓天井與接到有所區隔。

住宅裡的重要場域，藉由縝密的設計思考而突顯。例如，餐桌天花板利用圓形天窗導入自然陽光，藉以創造不斷變換的橢圓形光影；壁爐有著家庭美好的畫面意象，座落在主要生活起居區域的軸線盡頭，凝聚家人之間溫暖的情感；臥室裡佈置著利薩山的繁星夜空，浪漫而寧靜地妝點著入睡前的夜晚。住宅的立面外觀簡單而俐落，表現出建築本身的材質特性。設計師利用長形區塊和直線形格柵、圍牆打造出前院花園，混凝土結合植栽呈現自然與樸質的衝突對比，透過格柵圍牆還能一窺建築核心的圓形天井。
