The Nook is a family house designed by Monmouthshire-based Hall   Bednarczyk Architects.

Nook是一座家庭住宅，由蒙默斯郡的霍尔·贝德纳奇克建筑师设计。

Description by Hall Bednarczyk Architects: The Nook is a new-build four bedroom family house set in a secluded valley in Monmouthshire, UK. Planning permission for this 250m2 home was secured to replace a drab 1960’s bungalow that had previously occupied a corner of the 1 acre Wye Valley site. The aim of the project was to establish a durable and flexible home that capitalised on the best qualities of its setting.

霍尔贝德纳奇克建筑师描述：Nook是一座新建的四卧室家庭住宅，坐落在英国蒙默特郡一个偏僻的山谷中。这座250平米的住宅获得了规划许可，以取代1960年那座单调乏味的平房，这座平房此前占据了1英亩怀伊谷(Wye Valley)土地的一角。该项目的目的是建立一个持久和灵活的家庭，利用其设置的最佳质量。

The plot’s fundamental appeal lay in its combination of attractive rural surroundings combined with good year-round solar exposure. The construction budget was not overly generous at £325,000 (including kitchen and built-in furniture) equating to £1,300 per m2. A separate outbuilding, providing a carport and garden storage, was allocated a £25,000 budget.

该情节的基本吸引力在于其迷人的农村环境与良好的全年太阳曝光率相结合。建筑预算不太慷慨，达到325，000 GB(包括厨房和内置家具)，相当于每平方米1300 GB。一个单独的外建，提供一个车库和花园存储，分配了一个25，000 GB的预算。

The design adopts the simple, confident massing evident in the region’s agricultural structures, where both traditional stone barns and the spare steel-framed modern structures now used by farmers tend to possess a visual clarity and generosity of scale absent from most rural dwellings. A rectangular floor plan provided efficiency, flexibility and economy. The adoption of a steel frame enabled significant spans to cater for large openings in the building elevation and allowed the structural flexibility to omit floor sections and thereby create expansive and playful spaces within the interior.

该设计采用了该地区农业结构中显而易见的简单、自信的聚集方式，传统的石棚和现在农民使用的备用钢框架现代结构都往往具有明显的视觉清晰度和规模，这是大多数农村住宅所没有的。矩形平面图提供了效率、灵活性和经济性。钢框架的采用使大跨度能够满足建筑物立面的大开口，并允许结构灵活地省略地板部分，从而在内部创造出广阔而有趣的空间。

房子的乡村位置的隐私使得大量的玻璃区域能够被使用，用自然光照亮生活空间，以及周围景观的框架景观，这些景观似乎是穿过家的。大的滑动玻璃板向外打开了高地。

Regional materials are used – the sandstone was quarried three miles away – to help create a building that is intended to have a comfortable affinity with its setting. Consideration was given to the fact that the building would be liable to acquire moss and lichen over time.

使用区域材料-砂岩是在三英里外开采的-以帮助建造一座建筑，使其与周围环境有着舒适的亲和力。会议考虑到，随着时间的推移，建筑物可能会长出苔藓和苔藓。

The detailing of the house explores a number of vernacular elements and construction techniques through a modern lens. There are a number of examples – a sturdy stone chimney containing flues for internal and external fireplaces which creates a key moment of vertical emphasis on the principal elevation; splayed stone window reveals which have been disc-cut smoothly to contrast with the rugged texture of hand-dressed sandstone walls; a black steel frame that brings visual precision and a grid of graphic separation to the naturally-weathering materials of the elevations; and a built-in settle and welsh dresser that make the kitchen and dining space flexible and accommodating.

这所房子的细节通过现代的镜头探索了许多当地的元素和施工技术。有许多例子--一个坚固的石制烟囱，其中含有用于内部和外部壁炉的烟道，形成了垂直强调主要标高的关键时刻；八字石窗已被圆盘切割，以与手工修整的砂岩墙的粗糙纹理形成对比；黑色钢框架，为标高的自然风化材料提供视觉精度和图形分离的网格；以及内置的沉降平整器，使厨房和餐饮空间灵活和容纳。有关更多信息，请访问HallBedstarczyk建筑师。
