岩石上的棚屋
Shack in the Rocks
這個場地位於維多利亞州的鄉村地區，距離墨爾本西部約一小時車程。由於成本因素而被擱置的計畫，在重新評估後，我們建議客戶可以考慮在場地以外的地方建造一個簡單的農場棚屋，提供基本的居住設施取代之前的計畫。他們已在山上建造了一個大型機械棚，裝有太陽能板和雨水回收槽，從而簡單地改造乾草棚。討論過程中，我們注意到在澳大利亞的農村和偏遠地區，人們最需要的是 - 一個提供遮陽和避雨功能的遮陽篷屋頂，同時也是一個可以享受戶外活動的居所 - 烹飪、用餐和欣賞著天然的壯麗景觀與其互動。最終，我們改造了乾草棚的結構，加入了半透明的屋頂材料以提供光線，並結合工業步道格柵板作為遮陽篷。兩個半透明的“棚子”被規劃在獨立混凝土的基座東端 - 一個棚子用於烹飪及用餐，另一個則用於睡覺和盥洗。
The site is in country Victoria approximately one hour’s drive west of Melbourne. A previous scheme for this site was shelved due to cost. In reappraising the problem we suggested to our client that they might consider a simple farm shed to provide rudimentary accommodation on a different part of the site from the previous scheme. They had already erected a large machinery shed with solar panels and rainwater collection tanks uphill from where we agreed a very simple adaptation of a hayshed might occur. In our discussions we noted the primary requirement in rural and outback Australia for shelter - a roof parasol that provides some shade and protection from the rain as well as a place to enjoy outdoor activities - cooking, eating and engaging with and framing the spectacular landscape that exists on this particular site. In the end we adapted a hayshed structure and modified it by including a translucent roofing material for light and adapting some industrial walkway grating to make a louvre for shade. Two translucent 'sheds' are positioned to the east end of a monolithic concrete plinth - one shed for cooking and eating and the other for sleeping and ablutions.
由山本理顯（Riken Yamamoto）和田地工房（Field Shop）設計的房屋 - 山川山屋（1976年）和石井住宅（1977年） - 以高度創意的方式拆解了傳統住宅的功能性且重新佈局。在我還是一名年輕建築師的階段，對這項目感到相當好奇。山川山屋的案例中，其功能性的住宅佈局被有序且有邏輯的方式分佈在單層木質平台上。這種設計創造高度詩意的空間分佈，由大範圍而淺的山牆屋頂控制，這個屋頂不僅提供了室內空間的遮蔽，且涵蓋建築的戶外或“其他”空間。這個“其他”空間對我來說十分有趣，當我設計這個房屋時，確實受到了山川山屋的啟發。
Two houses by Riken Yamamoto and Field Shop - Yamakawa Cottage (1976) and the Ishii house (1977) - disassemble conventional residential programmes and then reassemble them in a highly creative way. I remember being intrigued by these projects as a young architect. In the case of the Yamakawa Cottage the functional programme is distributed in an ordered and logical way across a single level timber platform. This highly poetic scattering of spaces is controlled by a large shallow gable roof which shelters not only the rooms but the outdoor or 'other' space in the building. This 'other' space is intriguing to me and I certainly had the Yamakawa Cottage in mind when I designed this shack in the rocks.
