Garden Pavilion, Prague, Czech Republic

捷克布拉格 花園亭閣

Clients for whom the garden pavilion is designed own a large mature garden in the middle of the city, which is also just a ten-minute walk from their apartment. When the clients are in their garden, they try to spend as much time outdoors as possible and came to us with a specific and perhaps slightly paradoxical task. They wanted a new structure on the site of the original dilapidated cottage, but at the same time, they didn't want to close off the garden. The building was supposed to offer only modest space, primarily in adverse weather, and allow for occasional overnight stays in the summer months. An additional function for the winter season was to provide a space for storing plants, somewhat resembling a winter garden.

 

此案位於市中心的一座大花園,該花園為業主所擁有,由此處步行至其居所僅需十分鐘。業主平日前來此處時,皆盡可能地待在室外享受自然環境;如今對此花園,業主有了一個非常特殊卻稍顯矛盾的想法:以既有的破舊平房為基礎建造一座新建築,但不可使此花園成為一座封閉場域。業主期望在天氣無常的夏季裡,此項目能是可供過夜的避風港;冬季時則作為植栽空間,形成一座冬季花園。

We thought about how to connect the building as closely as possible to the surrounding garden, and we ultimately came up with the idea of a folding panel that allows one side of the house to completely open. This way, the interior seamlessly transitions to the outdoors, with the garden penetrating the building, creating a kind of paraphrase of a garden loggia, which was our fundamental architectural inspiration. When open, the polycarbonate wall also functions as an outdoor roof, expanding the covered space where one can stay during rainy weather. The panel folding mechanism consists of steel cables, pulleys, and counterweights, making it easy for one person to open the entire facade.

 

為滿足該要求,設計團隊仔細思量,期望以某種方式連結建築與花園;最終,團隊決定以涼廊為靈感,利用折疊板使房屋一側完全敞開,藉此連接室內外環境;打開的折疊板亦可作室外屋頂,除了擴大整體空間,也是下雨時的避雨處。選用聚碳酸酯打造折疊板,折疊裝置則由鋼纜、滑輪和配重組成,使其開關簡易,單人即可輕易操作。

The garden pavilion is situated on the foundations of the original wooden cottage in a garden colony near the Vltava River. It is located in an environment where, in addition to the mature garden, there are greenhouses and arbors, along with several other small cottages that mostly serve as storage and facilities for individual gardens. These cottages are similar to each other, mostly dark, almost windowless, and possess a romantically imperfect and irregular quality. We tried to incorporate the character of the surroundings into the new building, which is made of dark, burnt wood (shou-sugi-ban technique) with a naturally irregular structure. With closed shutters, it corresponds to the quiet objects in the vicinity.

 

該案落址處位在伏爾塔瓦河附近,四周有溫室、涼棚,以及與數間木屋。木屋多作儲物和私人花園設施之用,外型大多昏暗無窗戶,因此瀰漫著一股不完美、不規則的浪漫氣息。設計師試圖將環境特色融入新量體設計,故特意選用深色焦木建造此屋,並打造自然不規則的結構,搭配緊閉的百葉窗,與附近靜物彼此呼應。

The building is designed as a wooden structure in a two-by-four construction system. The interior walls are plastered, and the rear wall with an integrated bookshelf and a ladder leading to the upper floor is lined with wood. The construction of the library and the upper floor are made of wooden slats to create a subtle interior that allows natural light to filter through. Thanks to windows oriented in three directions combined with the polycarbonate panel, the lighting mood inside the building changes during the day, and even when closed, the interior space does not feel cramped. The floor plan dimensions are minimal – 3 x 5 m, and the height of the building is just under 5 m. The building is not connected to any utility networks and has only its photovoltaic panel, which covers the basic electricity consumption in the building and provides lighting.

 

量體採二乘四的木質結構,內牆抹灰飾面,後牆設有集成書架以及通往上層的木製梯子。內部空間不大,長寬僅 3X5 公尺,高度更不及 5 公尺,但因三面皆有窗戶,且由聚碳酸酯板組成,光線因此得以向內傾灑,並隨時間推移產生各種變化;即使閉窗亦不至於使室內顯得擁擠。圖書空間和上層樓板的結構則由木板條構成,穿透而入的自然光營造出一股微妙氛圍。該建築無連接任何公用設施,僅依靠光伏板來滿足基本用電及照明需求。
