The Alley House 房舍巷子
本案位于北京·灵境胡同附近的一座顶跃住宅,业主是一对年轻夫妇。户型原始毛坯,高处为4.3米最低处为2.6米,房屋体类型空间。在寸土寸金的老城区里,200m²以上的坡屋顶住宅是较为少有的。业主也希望能够与流出更多生长的可能性,为多代同堂做充足准备。我们在思考房屋建构过程中,认为老北京胡同巷子是一个很好的建筑原型。一条街巷充满了各种错落有致的房舍,街巷与建筑群落相互依存,所以我们将这座住宅赋予一个全新内向化的城市概念。通过梳理功能、动线和类型后,在内向的房屋体空间中,顺势做了三组建筑群,分别赋予了不同的拓扑形变,形成丰富的场景组合。这像极了微缩的城市街道,也让它具有一定的地域性生活意向。比如在胡同里穿梭,在大树下乘凉,坐在长椅上看书,三五好友一起上房揭瓦,站在屋顶上眺望远方等。将北京胡同的生活特色,街坊邻里关系,内外关系,场所记忆都分别进行了现代性的空间转译。让城市记忆嵌套在这栋房子之中,同时赋予更适合当代人的生活方式。室内亦可以成为一个崭新的现代胡同。
The project is a two-story loft house near Lingjing Hutong, Beijing. The house owner is a young couple. The original house is roughcast, with a pitched roof; and in its interior space, the highest part is 4.3 meters, and its lowest part is 2.6 meters.In the old district, where even an inch of land is valuable, the house with a pitched roof of more than 200 m² is relatively rare. So, the house owners also prefer that there will be more growth possibility in the house so as to make an adequate preparation for the living of multi-generation.When thinking about the construction of the house, we believe that the hutongs and alleys in old Beijing are good construction archetype. In the street and alley there locate all sorts of well-arranged houses. Streets, alleys, and building groups are interdependent. So, we endow this house a new inward-looking urban concept.After we sort out the functions, moving lines, and types, three groups of buildings will be built in the inward-looking space of the house. Each with different topological deformations, forming a rich combination of scenes. This design makes the house look very like a miniature urban street, and also gives the house a certain regional living preference. For example, shuttling through alleys, enjoying the cool under the big tree, sitting on bench and reading books, having three or five friends go up to the house together to uncover tiles, standing on the roof and gazing into the distance, and so on. The living characteristics, neighborhood relationships, internal and external relationships, and place memories of Beijing Hutong have been respectively spatially translated modernly, making the city memories nested into the house, and endowing it with a lifestyle more suitable for contemporary people as well.And the interior space can also be designed as a new modern alley.
