Residential Barn

穀倉住宅

這個約15棟建築形成的村莊，座落在一個以農業為主的環境中。位於村莊中的新住宅尊重且保留了該地區的歷史文化脈絡。

Around 15 buildings form a hamlet zone in a rural, mainly agricultural setting. This new home in the hamlet feels obliged to honor the area’s historical context.

典型的穀倉特徵以現代的方式重新詮釋。從遠處看，這棟住宅巧妙的融入周圍鄉村環境。外牆採用了帶有光澤的雲杉木板，與傳統瑞士穀倉上使用的同一種木材。屋頂承襲當地傾斜屋頂的風格，採用典型的瓦片。可開啟的窗戶被木質百葉窗所遮蔽，而寬敞的固定玻璃窗前面則是帶有遮陽、遮光和保護隱私功能的木質滑動門。一根未加工的鋼梁作為排水槽，從屋頂基底伸出。未設雨水落水管，任其如瀑布般從側面流淌。

Typical barn characteristics were taken up and reinterpreted in a modern way. From a distance, the residence discreetly blends into its rustic surroundings. The exterior facade is clad in glazed spruce wood – the same type of timber used on traditional Swiss barns. A pitched roof was designed in the same vein, with tile roofing typical to the local architecture. Openable windows are concealed behind wooden shutters, while the generous fixed glazing is fronted by wooden sliding doors that provide sun protection, darkening, and privacy. A raw steel beam serves as a gutter, jutting out beyond the base of the roof. Downpipes were omitted; the rainwater drains off the side like a waterfall.

該建築與基地的地形相呼應。於斜坡上施工通常需要在建築物後方進行挖土，並在前方填土；然而，這種做法被建築師否定，取而代之的是，底層被安排在一系列不同高度的層次上，以順應現有的斜坡，既可創造更豐富的空間體驗且展現了建築與自然環境的和諧共存。

The building responds to the topography of the site. Building on a slope usually requires excavation behind the building and backfilling in front; this approach was deliberately rejected. Instead, the ground floor is arranged in a series of levels at different heights to follow the existing slope.

穀倉通常被用於儲存和農業生產的工作室。儘管這棟新建築不是一個倉庫，但它的房間——臥室、浴室、壁櫥等——被「存放」在其中，形成封閉的空間，並以堆疊的方式排列在一起。這種「堆疊」創造了一種如雕塑般的三維空間或稱之為建築內的「正空間」。在這些堆疊的周圍形成了「負空間」，由相互垂直和水平連接的開放式生活場域組成。寬敞的內部空間展開，給人一種無盡延伸的感覺。

A barn is typically used for storage and as a workroom for agricultural production. Although this new building is not a depository, its rooms – bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, etc. – are “stored” within it as closed volumes and are figuratively stacked on top of one another. This “stacking” creates a sculptural interior, a positive spatial volume within the building. A negative volume forms around these stacks, comprising a landscape of open living spaces that are interconnected vertically and horizontally. A generous interior unfolds with a sense of endless expanse.

此建築透過建材的選擇，重新詮釋了傳統穀倉的簡單、無裝飾的特性。地板採用未修飾的混凝土板，牆壁則採用特殊的灰泥材料，確保了一種原始、未完工的質感。因此，在整個室內，只採用兩種不同的材料——混凝土和灰泥——以豐富呈現原始及自然的效果。

The new building reinterprets the simple, unadorned nature of a traditional barn through its choice of materials. Exposed concrete slabs for the floor and a special plaster covering the walls ensure a raw, unfinished feel. Two different materials with a similar effect – concrete and plaster – are used throughout the interior to achieve an expressive effect.

獨立的雙車庫同樣使用未修飾的混凝土建造，使用與房屋外牆相同的木質模板。在輕微傾斜的混凝土山牆屋頂上安裝了光伏系統，太陽能板像地毯一樣覆蓋在表面上。

The freestanding two-car garage in exposed concrete was created using the same timber formwork as that used for the house facade. A photovoltaic system was installed on the gently sloping concrete gable roof, the solar panels covering the surface like a carpet.

這個新的住宅與周圍的農業建築進行主題對話，以獨特的詮釋方式呈現民居穀倉的風格。
