Kew House is a family home in London designed by Piercy - Company.

Kew House是由Piercy设计的一座位于伦敦的家庭住宅。

Description by Piercy - Company: Set within the Kew Green Conservation Area of southwest London, the four bedroom family house is formed of two sculptural weathering steel volumes inserted behind a retained nineteenth century stable wall.

皮耶西的描述

The brief evolved through a series of conversations with the clients which ranged over imagining the children running about the house, summer dinners spilling outside and the balance of quiet nooks with social spaces, to pragmatic concerns like drying laundry and how to build a boat in the basement. In response, Piercy-Company designed the house as a built diagram of the way the family wanted to use the spaces, with an internal landscape of alternative routes and levels connecting expressive spaces aimed at creating moments of delight for adults and children alike. First and foremost a family home, the spaces are intended to be informal but rich with incidental spaces, unexpected light and complex vertical volumes.

这份简报是通过与客户的一系列对话演变而来的，这些对话包括想象孩子们在房子里跑来跑去，夏天的晚餐在外面散落，安静的角落和社交空间之间的平衡，还有一些务实的考虑，比如烘干洗衣房，以及如何在地下室建造一艘船。作为回应，皮耶西

The house is formed of a simple plan to make the most of the constrained site, reduce the building’s mass in the streetscape and respond to the living patterns of the family. Consisting of two rectangles; one slightly smaller, set back and sunken 1m lower, the wings each have living spaces on the ground floor and bedrooms above. Connecting the wings is a glass encased circulation link which allows light to pour into the house whilst providing breathing space between internal spaces. Inside, oak veneer paneling and Dinesen flooring are the basis of a light, natural and refined palette of materials.

房子是由一个简单的计划组成的，以充分利用受约束的场地，减少建筑物在街景中的质量，并对家庭的生活模式作出反应。由两个长方形组成；一个稍小一点，向后倾斜，下陷1米，翅膀上各有一层的起居空间和上面的卧室。连接翅膀是一个玻璃包围循环环节，使光线倒进房子，同时提供呼吸空间之间的内部空间。在里面，橡木单板镶板和迪尼森地板是一个轻，自然和精致的材料调色板的基础。

The two shells housing the main living and sleeping areas are formed of 4mm weathering steel, a hardworking combination of structure and façade. The weathering steel is maintenance free, essential for the enclosed site, and is softened by a patchwork of expressed welds and perforated panels. The deep orange tones of the weathering steel and the perforations within this skin echo the dappled light and autumnal palette of nearby Kew Gardens.

这两枚炮弹是主要生活区和睡眠区的外壳，由4mm的耐候钢组成，结构和外观结合在一起，工作很辛苦。耐候钢是免费的，必要的围封现场，并软化了由表达的焊缝和穿孔板拼凑。风化钢的深橙色色调和皮肤内部的穿孔与附近Kew花园的斑驳灯光和秋天的调色板相呼应。

A list of planning constraints – including a conservation area context, a change of use and no access on three sides -formed a backdrop to the project. To overcome these challenges Piercy-Company inserted the house behind a retained 19th century brick gable end and split the house into twin gabled forms in keeping with local massing. The natural patina of the weathering steel with its marks, stains and perforations giving the surfaces different characters depending on the exposure and orientation, anchor the form into its context and impart a sense of permanence.

一系列的规划限制-包括保护区的环境、使用的改变和三个方面都没有进入-构成了该项目的背景。为了克服这些挑战皮耶西

Kew House was an experimental build, driven by the architect’s and client’s shared interest in a ‘kit-of-parts’ approach and the self-build possibilities emerging from digital fabrication. The weathering steel shells were prefabricated in Hull and then craned into place and welded together. CNC milling and the on-site joinery workshop were used to create bespoke paneling, furniture and cabinetwork that could be fitted by the client and a small team of architecture graduates, testing the theory that digital fabrication can reduce the distance between design and production. The implications of this technology for house building are manifold with bespoke fit-out on a budget becoming increasingly viable. For more information visit Piercy - Company

KewHouse是一个试验性的建筑，受建筑师和客户对“零件套件”方法的共同兴趣以及数字制造产生的自我构建可能性的驱动。在船体上预制风化钢壳，然后将其伸直，焊接在一起。数控铣削和现场细木工车间被用来制作定制的镶板、家具和橱柜，客户和一小群建筑系毕业生可以安装这些家具和橱柜，测试数字化制造可以缩短设计和生产之间距离的理论。这项技术对房屋建设的影响是多方面的，定制的预算越来越可行。欲了解更多信息，请访问皮耶西
