 Ground floor

这个项目实际上是对一座旧建筑的改造-清空内部，加固和扩大，主要是使用轻型建筑材料。最初，这栋建筑的底层有几个房间-包括一个牛棚-还有一个外部楼梯通向一楼，那里是主要的生活区。

This project was in fact a renovation of an old building – emptying its interior, strengthening it and enlarging it, mainly by using light construction materials. Originally, the building had several rooms on the ground floors – including a cowshed – and an external staircase led to the first floor, where the main living area was.

作为设计师，这座建筑对我们提出了一些挑战，主要的挑战是非常低的天花板，甚至更低的结构梁(从地面到梁的下部2.15米)。这阻止了阳光进入建筑物的内部空间，并造成窒息和缺乏新鲜空气的感觉。外观设计的主要指导方针是使用中性的暗色调，以创造适合高大树木和周围花园阴影的建筑。因此，选择的阴影，为前面的建筑主要是灰色和深绿色。一个人在沿着小路、院子和一直走到大厅的路上所获得的体验是一种自然的结构，它吸收了周围的环境，在进入房子的内部空间时产生了一种惊讶的感觉。

The building set some challenges for us as designers, the main one was the very low ceilings and even lower structural beams (2.15m from ground level to the lower part of the beams). That prevented sun light from entering the building's inner spaces and caused the feeling of suffocation and a lack of fresh air. The leading guideline for the design of the exterior appearance was using neutral dark shades in order to create a building that fits in the shadow of the tall trees and the garden that surround it. Therefore, the chosen shades for the front of the building were mainly grey and dark green. The experience one gets while walking down the path, the yard and all the way to the lobby is of a natural structure that assimilates in its surroundings which creates a feeling of surprise when entering the house's inner spaces.

当我们进入大厅的内部空间时，这种惊讶的感觉是通过大量的阳光进入光线遮挡和高耸的空间(6.5米高)，我们通过拆除旧天花板来将楼层合并成一层，在那里我们还在两层之间放置了新的路径。我们用3.2米宽的大玻璃窗取代了大楼上部的外墙。为了调节进入房屋的阳光量，安装了电子百叶窗。

This feeling of surprise when entering the inner space of the lobby is achieved by the great amount of sunlight that enters the light shaded and tall space (6.5m tall) that we created by removing the old ceiling in order to combine the storey into one, where we also placed the new path between the levels. We replaced the outer walls of the upper part of the building with large glass windows, 3.2m wide. In order to regulate the amount of sunlight that enters the house, electric blinds were installed.

粗大的柱子和突出的开口不仅是设计上的问题，也是旧建筑问题的静态解决方案。通过用混凝土、铁和砖块包裹旧柱子，解决了这些问题。新增加的建筑物，新的地板和阁楼都是由轻材料，如铁型材，木材，面板等。

The massive appearance of the thick pillars and salient openings is more than just a matter of design but also a static solution for problems with the old construction. By encasing the old pillars in concrete, iron and bricks, these problems were solved. The new additions to the building, the new floors and attic were all made with light materials such as iron profiles, wood, panels etc.
