Frame House, New York, USA

美國紐約 框架之屋

Worrell Yeung

該住宅以 2×2×的三維網格結構為核心,以鋼構框架貫穿內外,確立了建築的韻律與秩序。由於業主希望擁有一座鋼結構與玻璃相結合的通透住宅,團隊自柯比意的 Domino House、密斯.凡德羅的 Farnsworth House 等經典建築中汲取靈感,滿足透明性的同時,為未來居住者提供適當的私密性。

 

Set on a bluff overlooking Gardiners Bay in East Hampton, New York, Frame House by Worrell Yeung eschews the traditional hallmarks of an East End property and creates something wholly unique for a client looking for an alternative way to enjoy the natural beauty of the region. The house is a study on a 2x2x7 grid structure in three dimensions, expressed through a steel frame that establishes the rhythm of the house on the interior and exterior.

藉由框架的模組化設計,搭配精準規劃的實牆與玻璃開口回應基地,以及日照方位與內部機能。面街道一側以染色雪松木覆蓋部分框架,以維持隱私;朝向海灣一側則採大面積玻璃引入北側日光,亦將室內與周圍景觀、懸崖邊的遼闊水景相連。

 

The client came to the project with a vision for a transparent glass house with a steel frame. Taking cues from iconic projects like Le Corbusier's Domino House and the Edith Farnsworth House by Mies van der Rohe, Worrell Yeung sought to incorporate the client's ambition while also providing the house’s future residents with a certain amount of privacy. The solution came about through the implementation of modularity within the eponymous frame that allows for the considered and calibrated placement of opaque walls responding to site, solar orientations, and interior functions. Solid stained cedar-clad walls fill portions of the frame to provide privacy on the street-facing side while large, glazed openings on the bay side maximize northern daylight connecting the interior with the surrounding grounds and expansive water views over the bluff's edge. 

此外,設計師更從 Sol LeWitt 等藝術家及極簡主義畫家 Agnes Martin 的作品中取經,將「框架」視為一種空間抽象概念,並以此作為設計起點。

 

Drawing from conceptual artists like Sol LeWitt and minimalists like Agnes Martin, Worrell Yeung looked into the idea of a "frame" as a spatial abstraction, and used this as a jumping off point for the design.

入口處,石階沿著車道緩緩上升,引領訪客步入住宅。一進門,視線即刻穿透建築,經由後方全景玻璃立面延展至泳池,最終投向遠方的水灣。玄關內,一座懸浮樓梯與雪松木包覆的量體劃分出公共與私密區域,空間刻意壓縮,形成與開放起居空間的對比,營造層次感。

Visitors to the house approach via a gradually sloping stone stair at the driveway. Upon entry, one can immediately peer through the house past the glazed back facade, to the pool and out to the water views.

向右行進,結構網格的韻律在挑高的客廳、餐廳與廚房區域延展,兩側以大面積玻璃包覆,將周圍林木與海灣景色納入室內。廚房上方設置高窗,引入柔和的自然光,勾勒出天際線與樹梢的風景,寧靜而純粹。

 As one moves to the right, the rhythm of the structural grid opens into a voluminous double-height living room, dining room, and kitchen fully glazed on two sides, looking to the surrounding woods and, most prominently, the open view of Gardiners Bay. Above the kitchen, large glazed openings act as a clerestory and flood the space with diffuse natural light, framing views of the surrounding treetops.

左側設有兩間臥室,皆配備獨立衛浴並與戶外緊密相連,將如畫的水岸風光納入生活,讓居者在光影與自然交錯之間,感受建築與環境的和諧共鳴。

 

Left from the entryway, two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms occupy the opposite end of the lower level and offer direct connection to the landscape. All rooms are laid out to maximize engagement with the picturesque site and capitalize on views to the water.

Worrell Yeung
Founded in 2015 by Max Worrell and Jejon Yeung, our practice synthesizes complex systems and needs into clear conceptual solutions that are precise and considered. Working across several scales and typologies—from adaptive reuse and public space to ground-up residential and cultural—we approach every project as an opportunity to create work that is adaptable to the present climate, focused on function, and enduring.
