架构师：模式架构

The Wedge house is a custom family home located in the eastern suburbs of Athens, in the mountainous and full of pine trees area of Pikermi, named Drafi. The site is quite distinctive and has many challenging features. The main complexity is the steep terrain with an almost 20-meter- height-difference from one side of the site to the other. The virtually vertical cliffs on both edges made access very difficult, so when a mild inclined surface appeared in the middle of the site it was quite inevitable that the house would be situated there.

楔形房屋是一个定制的家庭住宅位于雅典东郊，在山区和充满松树地区的皮克米，名为德拉菲。该网站是相当独特的，并有许多挑战性的功能。主要的复杂性是地形陡峭，从一边到另一边几乎有20米高的差异。两边几乎垂直的悬崖使进入非常困难，所以当一个轻微的倾斜表面出现在现场的中心，这是相当不可避免的房子将位于那里。

Our design concentrated in creating a house that utterly blends with its natural environment sustaining most of the existing pine trees. This supposition unavoidably led to a split-level house, accommodating the steepness and the fluctuations of the topology. Two distinct blocks, facing north and west, sit on different levels, and come together in the middle with a wedge-shaped volume that forms the entrance and the vertical circulation leading to the main spaces of the house. The entrance emerges in a tight exterior passage that opens up to the whole interior enclosure, immediately as someone enters, surprising the visitor to the house’s unpredictable nine-meter- height interior.

我们的设计集中在创造一个与自然环境完全融合的房子，维持了大多数现存的松树。这种假设不可避免地导致了一个分层的房子，适应了拓扑的陡峭和波动。两个不同的街区，面向北和西，坐在不同的水平，集中在中间，形成一个楔形的体积，形成入口和垂直流通，导致房屋的主要空间。入口出现在一个紧密的外部通道，打开整个室内围护，立即有人进入，令游客对房子的不可预测的9米高的内部。

Both block facades completely open up through large glazing surfaces to the view of the pines trees and the hills beyond, concealing the boundary between the interior of the house and its surrounding environment.

这两个街区的正面完全开放，通过大的玻璃表面可以看到松树和远处的小山，隐藏了房子内部和周围环境之间的界限。

The composite structure allows all finishes to appear in their natural state. The basic four walls are covered in stone, to seem as they are coming through the earth, connected to the exposed wooden roof only through a series of triangular aluminum windows. A butterfly roof, which reverses the conventional icon of the pitched roof house, lets natural light to enter through those high windows on the back side of the building.

复合结构允许所有饰面出现在其自然状态。基本的四壁被石头覆盖，似乎它们穿过地球，只通过一系列三角形铝窗连接到裸露的木质屋顶上。一种蝴蝶屋顶，它使倾斜屋顶房屋的传统图标反转，让自然光通过建筑背面的那些高窗口进入。

The wedge permeates the roof as well, creating a skylight right above the metal stairway that leads down to the living room, kitchen and dining room, all based on the ground floor of the block facing north. The three bedrooms only accessed through the wedge are situated on the block facing west.

楔子也渗透到屋顶上，在金属楼梯上方形成一个天窗，通向客厅、厨房和餐厅，所有这些都是基于面向北的街区底层。只有通过楔子才能进入的三间卧室位于朝西的那块楼上。

Again, due to the site’s steepness, the parking garage stands next to the main entrance, right above the living spaces. At the lower edge of the site, beyond the road, there is a small canyon and a narrow stream coming through. Due to the height difference the stream is not visible, but the water sound is noticeable. A longitudinal swimming pool parallel to the direction of the stream, but at a higher level, reenacted that natural condition.

再一次，由于场地的陡峭性，停车场就站在正门旁边，就在起居空间的上方。在场地的下边，在路的另一边，有一个小峡谷和一条狭窄的小溪经过。由于高度的差异，流是不可见的，但水的声音是明显的。一个与溪流方向平行的纵向游泳池，但在较高的水平上，重新形成了这种自然状态。
