Orange Bay Homestay 长沙岛橘子湾民宿
项目位于太湖大桥脚下,是一个存量改造与新建结合的项目,建筑师希望通过材料、光影的运用,探索空间与自然之间的关系。相比于从太湖大桥上就可以看见的城堡咖啡馆部分,民宿部分显得更为隐秘,需要完全通过大桥,才可以看见全貌。地块内拆除了一栋锯齿形建筑后,留下一个两层楼的圆筒。基地地理位置优越,背靠太湖山水,建筑师希望建成后的建筑构图尽量简洁,因此新建部分精简成了一个简单的长方体,与存量的圆筒之间,通过一个大平台相连接。在自然山水中,用最简单的方圆构成几何的美感。
空间秩序
民宿共9个房间,分为4种主要户型。存量的大圆筒,改造后-1F用于布草等后勤空间,1F为民宿接待空间,面向湖面为落地窗,最大化利用自然风景。长方体主体部分均匀分布8个房间。其中一层结合建筑体量,设计成中间2个LOFT房型,以及两侧的天窗大床房。方和圆的体量通过一个大的平台整合,底图的体量穿过大平台升起,圆筒的2F设计成新的客房,另一侧长方体之上则升起不同体量的长方体,在立面构图上延续了几何美感的同时,建筑物内部也形成了丰富的空间和光线效果。
光线设计
在计划出行时,当代的顾客们不仅仅追求当地的美丽风景和特色文化,同时也希望在短暂的假期中,能有一个独特的居住体验。一个好的民宿应是自然风光和空间设计的结合。对光线的设计则是空间设计中一个重要的主题。一层入户的圆柱体与存量的大圆筒空间呼应,顶部完全开敞,随着季节和天气的变化,漏下不同的光线和雨雪。入户空间一方面隔绝了来自场地外部的视线干扰,另一方面,也为客人清除了来自外界的喧嚣,重建使用者与自然的连接,由此开启一段宁静舒适的假日之旅。
色彩
空间整体以陶土的砖红色为基本色,灵感来源于从场地望向太湖的夕阳。不同于中式山水画的黑白,自然界的色彩是丰富而热烈的。因此民宿主体部分采用了粗糙质感的涂料,小圆筒体量用陶砖贴面强调。简单的建筑造型和质朴的材质互相衬托,同色系不同材料让建筑立面的丰富度和可读性得以提升。热烈的色彩刺激人们的感官,在落日时,这种感受将达到顶峰。建筑物既是作为框景存在的画框,也可以是以自然为背景的视觉主体。
平衡和克制
在项目实施的过程中,设计团队通常要面临很多复杂的情况,特别是如何通过设计,让新与旧,自然和人工在场地内达到一个平衡。通过多次现场的调研和场地状况的解读,我们认为“简单”是解决复杂难题最有效的办法。通过简单的几何体,使得建筑从自然环境的底图中浮现出来,同时又不过分抢眼。通过单一颜色不同材质的表达,更加强调了建筑形体的“简单”。同时让建筑在近人尺度表达出设计细节。建筑形态与内部空间的设计,与其功能具有一致性,拒绝“炫技”式的表达。希望使用者在空间中可以感受到建筑与自然之美。
Located at the foot of Taihu Lake Bridge, the project is a combination of stock renovation and new construction. The architects hope to explore the relationship between space and nature through the use of materials, light and shadow. Compared to the café part, which can be seen from the Taihu Bridge, the lodging part is more secretive and needs to pass through the bridge completely before it can be seen in its entirety. A two-story cylinder was left behind after the demolition of a sawtooth-shaped building within the site. The site is strategically located, backed by the Taihu Lake landscape, and the architects wanted the completed building composition to be as simple as possible, so the new part was streamlined into a simple rectangle, connected to the stock cylinder by a large platform. In the natural landscape, the simplest squares and circles are used to form a geometric beauty.
The B&B has a total of 9 rooms, divided into 4 main types. The stock is a large cylinder, transformed - 1F is used for fabrics and other logistical space, 1F is the reception space of the B&B, facing the lake with floor-to-ceiling windows, maximizing the use of natural scenery. The main part of the rectangle is evenly distributed with 8 rooms. One of the first floor is designed as 2 LOFT rooms in the center and two large bed rooms with skylights. The square and round volumes are integrated through a large platform, the volume of the base plan rises through the large platform, the 2F of the cylinder is designed as a new guest room, and the other side of the rectangular body rises above the rectangular body with different volumes, which continues the geometrical aesthetics of the façade composition, and at the same time, creates a rich spatial and light effect inside the building.
When planning a trip, contemporary customers not only seek beautiful local scenery and special culture, but also want to have a unique living experience during a short vacation. A good B&B should be a combination of natural scenery and space design. The design of light is an important theme in space design. The cylinder of the first floor entry echoes the large cylindrical space of the stock, with a completely open top that funnels different light, rain and snow as the seasons and weather change. On the one hand, the entry space isolates the visual interference from the outside of the site, on the other hand, it also removes the noise from the outside world for the guests, re-establishing the user's connection with nature, and thus opening up a peaceful and cozy holiday journey.
The overall color of the space is the brick red of terra cotta as the basic color, inspired by the sunset looking towards Taihu Lake from the grounds. Unlike the black and white of Chinese landscape paintings, the colors of nature are rich and warm. Therefore the main part of the B&B is painted with rough texture, and the small cylinder volume is emphasized with ceramic brick veneer. Simple architectural shapes and rustic materials set each other off, and different materials of the same color make the richness and readability of the building façade enhanced. The warm colors stimulate the senses, which will reach its peak at sunset. The building is both a picture frame that exists as a framed scene and a visual subject with nature as a backdrop.
In the process of project implementation, the design team usually has to face a lot of complicated situations, especially how to make a balance between the new and the old, the natural and the artificial in the site through design. Through many on-site researches and interpretation of the site conditions, we believe that “simplicity” is the most effective way to solve complex problems. Through simple geometry, the building emerges from the natural environment without being overly conspicuous. The expression of different materials in a single color emphasizes the “simplicity” of the building form. At the same time, the building expresses the design details at a close human scale. The design of the building form and interior space is consistent with its function, and refuses to be expressed in a “showy” way. It is hoped that users can feel the beauty of architecture and nature in the space.
