Replacing a former taxi garage, London-based architects vPPR completely transformed the once contaminated site with an award winning design.

经过一次极端的建筑改造，这套四卧室的家庭住宅取代了以前的出租车修理厂，是伦敦建筑师vppr的作品。这片位于伦敦Hammersmith的地块，在建筑团队开始施工时，已被指定为受污染的土地。这并没有阻止他们。随着一个鼓舞人心的新设计，vppr彻底改变了网站，现在，它藏在原来的车库门，主办获奖的拱形房屋。

为了消除污染，需要进行深基坑开挖。在此过程中，所有1.5米挖出的土壤都必须进行测试，然后仔细处理。周围的环境也需要考虑，因为该遗址被十一个党墙包围，并被一个引人注目的二十四位邻居忽视。

参观拱形房屋

该项目最近获得了RIBA奖，由一系列重复的几何形式组成。拱顶-借房子的名字-是整个建筑的主要特色。屋顶是设计中的关键要素。一套非常详细的拱形屋顶定义了不同的居住区域，从所使用的两种色调的单层屋顶膜上，可以看到建筑物的鸟瞰模式。这一举动巧妙地打破了大屋顶面积，大大改善了邻居的看法(它以前只是腐烂的沥青)。

屋顶系统非常复杂，建筑师解释说。它必须经过多次的3D软件建模，以确保关键的结构部件，如巨大的钢梁，完全隐藏在清晰的角度完成，无论是在里面和外面。由于场地地处内陆，每个拱顶顶部都安装了屋顶灯，这使得空间充满了自然光。

在内部，金库在锋利的抹灰边缘无缝地相遇。房子标志性的拱顶形状在不同的尺度上被精心地重复，包括雕刻的倒角边缘，壁炉和窗户。即使是木材成品地板也是以交叉的方式铺设的，就像倒映在上面的拱顶一样。

该项目的景观设计是为了鼓励家庭的孩子们花尽可能多的时间在户外玩耍。可以通过房子后面的一个双高的巢穴进入花园。另外还有一项单独的研究，它提供了声音的隐私和一个通过生活空间的看法。一扇大的双滑动门完全打开了，把餐厅变成了夏天的门廊。

The design hosts a series of seamless geometric shapes, repeated throughout the structure.

As the building is landlocked, roof-lights were installed on top of each vault, flooding the spaces with natural light, creating an echoed relationship between the large sliding doors and windows with the roof-lights.

The building's aerial view reveals a playful harlequin pattern from the two tones of single-ply roofing membrane used. The roof is a key element of the design, creating a sense of continuity between the crisp and angular aesthetic both inside and out of the house. 

The house's trademark vault shape is repeated meticulously at different scales, including sculptural chamfered edges, the fireplace and windows. Even the timber floors are laid in a cross pattern, mirroring the vaults that lay above it. 

The project's landscaping is designed to encourage the children of the family to spend as much time playing outdoors, expecially during the summer time.

vPPR accommodates the many aspects of everyday life by seperating the study and creating acoustic privacy providing a quiet space to work and contemplate.  

De-contamination of the site was essential due to the lands previous use and 1.5 metres of soil was taken away and meticulousy tested in order to guarantee the site was safe for construction.   

Access to the garden is possible via a double-height den at the back of the house.

Internally, the vaults meet seamlessly at sharp plastered edges, creating rigid lines that symphonise with the monochromatic colour scheme, accentuating the repitition of the house's trademark geometric shapes.

The roof was a challenge for the architects and had to be modelled on  3D software to ensure that key structural components, such as the large steel beams, were completely hidden away in order to not distract from the design aesthetic of the project.

The timber finished floors are laid in a cross pattern, mirroring the shapes of the vaults that lay above it; creating a further sense of harmony and tranquility in the design.

The site is enclosed by eleven party walls and is overlooked by at least twenty-four neighbours creating a challenge for the architects to provide privacy to the house.
