泰国清迈一家半透明酒店Little Shelter-设计风向

总部位于曼谷的建筑事务所Department of Architecture最近完成了一座半透明的酒店，向泰国清迈的乡土建筑致敬。酒店屋顶形式的灵感来自传统的髋部屋顶，并以不对称的形式与周围的树梢轮廓自然地融合在一起，重新诠释了酒店的屋顶形式。屋顶的西侧部分敞开形成屋顶平台，供客人欣赏日落时的河岸全景。

Bangkok-based firm Department of Architecture has recently completed a translucent hotel that pays tribute to the vernacular architecture of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The hotel roof form inspired by traditional hip roofs as homage to the local architecture has a little reinterpretation with an asymmetrical form blending naturally with the surrounding tree top silhouette. The west side of the roof is partially carved out to become a roof deck for guests to enjoy the panoramic river view at sunset.

通过使用主要的传统材料——木瓦，设计延续了当地的建筑特色。这种材料最有趣的地方在于它的体系已经发展了几百年。小块的木瓦像鱼鳞一样排列，成为一个防水的建筑平面。该设计探索了将新材料融入系统的可能性，创造了一个深植于传统的当代建筑表面。

The design continues the local architectural character through the use of the predominant traditional material – the wood shingles. The most interesting aspect of the material is in its system that has been well developed for hundreds of years. Small units of wood shingles are laid out like fish scales to become a watertight architectural plane. The design has explored a possibility to fuse new materials into the system to create a contemporary architectural surface yet deeply rooted in tradition.

木瓦用于屋顶和侧壁。在河立面上，聚碳酸酯板被切割成与木瓦大小相同的尺寸，构成了半透明的建筑立面。在入口立面上，上部由实木瓦组成，并与下部的聚碳酸酯瓦混合。虽然使用传统的木瓦系统，但不间断的半透明表面是通过使用半透明螺柱和特殊透明螺钉的特殊细节设计实现的。

The wood shingles are used on the roof and side walls. On the river facade, polycarbonate sheets are cut into the same size as wood shingles and constructed to become the architectural translucent facade. On the entrance façade, the upper portion is composed of solid wood shingles and they trickle down to mixed with polycarbonate shingles on the lower part. Although working with the traditional shingle system, the uninterrupted translucency surface is achieved by a special detail design using translucent studs and special transparent screws.

立面在阳光下闪闪发光，因为光线接触到不同的材料颗粒，从实木瓦到聚碳酸酯瓦的不同半透明水平。光线穿过立面，随着天空光线条件的变化，在不同的时间创造出不同的室内氛围。到了晚上，有了室内的灯光，建筑就成了河堤上一盏灯火通明。这个结构看起来不像建筑，而更像是一件工艺品。

The facade is glittering in the sun as the light touches different material grains, from the solid wood shingles to the different translucency levels of the polycarbonate shingles. The light passes through the facade and creates varying interior atmosphere at different time with the changing light condition of the sky. At night with the light from the inside, the building becomes a lantern glowing on the riverbank. The structure seems less of a building but becomes more like a piece of craftwork.

公共区域内部补充了外部的简单性，给人一种画廊般的感觉，容纳了场地特定的装置，灵感来自著名的布郎伞，创造了精致和戏剧性的剪影，表达了当地手工艺的当代诠释。

The public area interior complements the exterior simplicity, gives a gallery-like feeling that accommodates the site-specific installations inspired by the famous Boh–Srang umbrella, and creates delicate and dramatic silhouettes expressing contemporary interpretation of the local handicraft.

客房内部为客人们提供了发现清迈的全新视角。清迈的重要地点和事件的图像，如古城墙，水灯节，松林，Pah-Chor峡谷等，都反映在了天花板上。这些图像无限地反射到两个长长的墙壁上，上面覆盖着小镜子带状疱疹，给人一种超现实的无边框感。十四间客房中的每一间都有不同的图像。每一种都散发出不同而独特的感觉：宁静，俏皮，文化，神秘等，适合客人的任何喜好。它向游客介绍了清迈的过去、现在，或许还有未来。

The guest room interior is a place to rediscover Chiang Mai in a new angle, literally. Images of important places and events of Chiang Mai such as its ancient city wall, floating lantern festival, pine forest, Pah-Chor canyon, etc., are placed on the entire ceiling. The images infinitely reflected onto the two long walls cladded with small mirror shingles, giving a surreal borderless sensation. The images are all different for each of the fourteen guest rooms. Each emanates different and unique feeling: tranquil, playful, cultured, mysterious, etc. suitable for any preferences of the guests. Little Shelter is not only a place to sleep. It is an introduction of the past, the present, and probably the future of Chiang Mai to its visitors.
