B.E. Architecture | 黄金海岸美人鱼沙滩住宅-设计风向

美人鱼海滩住宅是建筑与人类内在的渴望以及对持久性的情感需求之间的对话。但是，它坐落在一个无常的海滩上，一个既受侵蚀又受运动影响的地方。

The Mermaid Beach Residence is a dialogue between architecture and the intrinsic human desire and emotional need for permanence, or in other words; to put down roots. In contrast, the home is situated atop a beach which is impermanent, a place of both erosion and movement.

美人鱼海滩的位置经常不得不面对飓风和雷暴，以及刺眼的穿透性阳光。这些环境因素意味着建筑必须考虑到这些基本的考虑，既为居民提供隐私，又保护他们不受经常变化的天气条件的影响。同时，客户希望有一个轻松，开放，阳光普照的家庭住宅，可直接通往海滩。现浇混凝土被用作主要的建筑材料，给房子一种结实的感觉，保护它不受自然因素的影响，而可操作的木板穿插在立面上，提供了与海滩通道的私密性。

The locality of Mermaid Beach often has to contend with cyclonic winds and thunderstorms, as well as harsh, penetrating sunlight. These environmental factors meant that the architecture had to speak to these fundamental considerations by providing both privacy for the residents, and protection from the often volatile weather conditions. At the same time, the clients wanted a relaxed, open, sun-drenched family home which opened directly onto the beach. Poured in-situ concrete was used as the primary building material giving the house a sense of solidarity and protection from the elements, while operable timber panels punctuate the facade and offer privacy from the thoroughfare of the beach.

混凝土立面是光滑和粗糙纹理的对比，这是通过一种被称为“scabbling”的技术实现的，该技术涉及到使用高压手动冲击钻手工暴露下面的骨料。作为室内装饰的一部分，整个房子的混凝土特征通过天然木材细木工和家具软化。这些都反映了客户对极简主义斯堪的纳维亚设计的欣赏，以及对简单、整洁的开放空间的渴望。

The concrete facade is a contrast of smooth and rough textures that is achieved through a technique called ‘scabbling’, which involves exposing the aggregate beneath by hand using a high pressure, hand-operated impact drill. The concrete features throughout the house as part of the interior finishes and softened by natural timber joinery and furniture. These are reflective of the client’s appreciation of minimalist Scandinavian design and desire for simple and uncluttered open spaces.

该设计允许家庭共享和私人体验，他们可以在整个结构的建筑形式中，周围，下方或之上共存。自然环境与建筑物之间有着明显的联系。客房散布在内部庭院中，大窗户可欣赏海滩和游泳池的景致，一楼的起居区距离沙质海岸线仅几步之遥，在一楼的露台还可俯瞰广阔的美人鱼海滩海岸线。

The design allows the family shared and private experiences where they can co-exist on, around, under or on top of architectural forms throughout the structure. There is a clear connection between the natural environment and the building. Rooms spill out into internal courtyards, large windows offer framed views of the beach and swimming pool, the ground floor living area is mere steps away from the sandy shoreline, and the first-floor terrace overlooks the expansive Mermaid Beach coastline.

在室内，楼梯顶部的天窗将光线有趣地向下拉到光滑的混凝土、悬垂物和屋檐上，创造出阴凉的地方供人吃饭和娱乐，而壁架和庭院则是供人坐下和阅读的地方。该住宅反映了家庭的多样化兴趣，包括一个工作室，可以在家工作或练习瑜伽，放松和阅读的地方，开放的娱乐区，一个宽敞的厨房和生活区，和四个卧室套房。

Inside, the skylights at the top of the staircase drag light playfully downwards over the smooth concrete, overhangs and eaves create shaded areas to eat and entertain, while ledges and courtyards are places to sit and read. The home reflects the family’s diverse interests and includes a studio to work from home or practice yoga, places to relax and read, open entertaining areas, a generous kitchen and living area, and four bedrooms complete with robes and ensuites.

该住宅配备了许多可持续发展的功能，可减少碳排放，提供舒适的生活环境。其中一些功能包括太阳能电池板和热水系统、双层隔热玻璃、低压热风风扇、屋檐和天然遮阳的木屏，以及贯穿整个房子的对流通风等技术。

The Mermaid Beach Residence is equipped with numerous sustainability features for a comfortable living environment with a reduced carbon footprint. Some of these features include solar panels and hot water system, double glazing for insulation, low voltage thermos fans, eaves and timber screens for natural shade, and cross-flow ventilation throughout the house among other techniques.
