2010年10月，斯蒂芬·戴维·彼得·史密斯建筑师受到彼得和梅兰妮·多姆布的委托，设计了一座现代设计的房子，对环境的影响最小，能够容纳他们蓬勃发展的艺术收藏。

In October 2010, Stephen Davy Peter Smith Architects was commissioned by Peter and Melanie Domb to design a house of modern design, with minimal impact on the environment and able to accommodate their burgeoning art collection.

 Ground Floor Plan

建筑师们以商业开发商的身份与PeterDomb合作了多年。他们相聚一堂，环顾这片土地，看看Dombs现有住宅花园的底部，讨论他们对该计划的期望和可能的选择。

The architects had worked with Peter Domb for many years in his capacity as a commercial developer. They met to look around the site at the bottom of the garden of the Dombs’ existing house, discussing their aspirations for the scheme and possible options.

这份简报是从一套3卧室的房子的基本要求发展而来的，房子的房间尺寸很大-客户对空间感兴趣，而不是房间的数量。该物业面积270平方米，与典型的5张床住宅面积相似.

The brief was developed from a basic requirement for a 3-bedroom house with generous room sizes - the client was interested in space, not number of rooms. At 270 sq m, the property has a similar floor area to a typical 5-bed house.

多姆夫妇对当代设计有强烈的偏好。尽管是一座现代化的建筑，但这所房子还是有一种熟悉的感觉。倾斜的屋顶有着传统的内涵，黑色的外墙让人想起当地谷仓和农业建筑的轮廓，它们通常颜色很深，地平线上几乎是黑色的。

The Dombs had a strong preference for a contemporary design. Despite being a modern building however, the house has a familiar feel. The pitched roof has traditional connotations and the black façade is reminiscent of the silhouettes of local barns and agricultural buildings, which are typically very dark in colour, appearing almost black on the horizon.

建筑师在住房方面的经验使它能够设计出一个符合实际生活需要的住宅。该房子允许灵活性在未来，开放的计划生活和一个合并的厨房和娱乐空间，加上一个封闭的私人舒适。

The architect’s experience in housing enabled it to design a home that responds to practical living needs. The house allows for flexibility in the future, with open plan living and a combined kitchen and entertaining space supplemented by an enclosed private snug.

内部由几个流动的空间组成，这些空间从厨房和餐饮区相互连接并流出到外部露台和花园。这座建筑非常窄，尽管它的黑色整体外观，大窗户提供了慷慨的意见，并从外面的建筑物俯瞰。

The interior is comprised of several flowing spaces, which interlink and flow out to the external patio and garden from the kitchen and dining area.  Internally, the rooms step down to each other in response to the sloping site. The building is very narrow and despite its black monolithic appearance, the large windows offer generous views out and views right through the building from outside.

Dombs游刃有余，有大量的个人艺术品可供展示。由于没有主题可将它们连接起来(比如迷你Burrell系列)，这座房子被设计成一个画廊空间，有定制的地方展示他们的珍宝。这一过程在设计过程中一直在进行，楼梯储藏室的墙壁被重新设计，以便在项目期间容纳一支奥运火炬。

The Dombs are well travelled and have a large collection of individual pieces of artwork to display.  With no theme to connect them (like a mini Burrell collection), the house is designed to double as a gallery space, with bespoke places to display their treasures.  This process was ongoing through the design process and the stair storage wall was redesigned to accommodate an Olympic torch during the project.

充足的自然光是至高无上的。大面积的玻璃，屋顶灯和一个太阳能管的敷料区，确保家庭被淹没的自然光。入口大厅和居住空间都是双高的-一直到屋顶的底部，这突出了宽敞的空间和光线的感觉。

An abundance of natural light was paramount. Extensive areas of glazing, rooflights and a solar tube to the dressing area ensure the home is flooded with natural light. The entrance hall and living space are double height – right up to the underside of the roof, which accentuates the feeling of generous space and light.

梅勒妮是一个热心的园丁，房子的设计与外部有明确的关系，从起居室和厨房通往花园、露台和露台的大门很大。该建筑利用地面水平的变化，将场地平分，将公共战线与私人后方分开，并创建上、下花园。

Melanie is a keen gardener and the house is designed have a clear relationship to the exterior, with large doors leading out from the living room and kitchen onto the garden, terraces and patio. The building makes use of the change in ground level and bisects the site, separating the public front from the private back and creating upper and lower gardens.

该建筑是块体工程、钢铁和传统木材的混合体，包括可持续和节能的特点。一个新的钻孔为房子提供了所有的淡水，有雨水排放的渠道、热回收系统和地底采暖区。

The construction is a hybrid of block work, steel and traditional timber, including sustainable and energy efficient features. A new borehole provides all fresh water for the house, with soakaways for rainwater discharge, a heat recovery system and zoned underfloor heating.

客户热衷于使用寿命长且无需维护的材料。黑色锌包层既可回收利用，又含有可回收材料。这种简单的形式一直延续到锌的清脆细部，带有隐蔽的排水沟。

The client was keen on materials with longevity and which are maintenance free.  The black zinc cladding is both recyclable and has elements of recycled materials contained within it.  The simple form was continued through into the crisp detailing of the zinc, with concealed gutters.

这只狗是Domb家族中非常重要的一员，一些“狗”的影响在设计中很明显，包括低水平的玻璃，让狗可以看到外面的东西。有趣的是，它确实利用这些特征，从窗户到花园里巡逻。

The dog is a hugely important member of the Domb family and some ‘doggy’ influences are manifest in the design, including low-level glazing which allows the dog to see out.  Interestingly, he does use these features and goes from window to window to police the garden.

Dombs一家为他们的新家感到非常自豪。设计是一种建设性关系的产物，客户和建筑师在创造房子的最终外观和功能时相互影响。

The Dombs are hugely proud of their new home. The design is the product of a constructive relationship where both client and architect influenced each other in the creating the final appearance and function of the house.
