NORM, Quebec, Canada

加拿大魁北克 常規住宅

Atelier Carle

NORM is a renovation and extension of an existing single-family residence that breaks the generic notion of the suburban house, typically built without real consideration to its context. Located on a gently sloping south-facing site, the original house left the sunniest part of land to the garage, while the living rooms were oriented towards the north. From the outside, the arrangement of volumes revealed only a garage door from the street, rendering the pedestrian access almost invisible.

 

本案為既有住宅的翻新與擴建,不同於普遍郊區建設,團隊格外注重建築與周遭環境的連結。量體位處朝南的緩坡,原規劃卻將起居室朝北設置,因此由外僅能看到一扇車庫門,且空間光線最充足的部分被規劃成為車庫空間。

The new configuration of spaces emphasizes a more explicit relationship to the landscape. With the complete reversal of the program, the project redefines a unified link between different architectural volumes opening to specific landscape components on the site. The new glazed openings are now oriented to specific trees or other natural areas – to the sky or ground – so as to redirect original views of the manufactured suburban neighborhood. This way, the layout of spaces allows for a closer understanding of the landscape at large, giving the house a visual quality of isolation despite the nearby buildings.

 

為此,團隊重新梳理整體配置,首先將內部環境改為對外敞開,藉此強調景觀連結,並建立不同量體間的連結性。接著,將部分玻璃窗朝向特定的樹木或植被設置,部分則面向天空或地面;玻璃的通透性不僅完善保留基地的原始景觀,亦將其全然地呈現於宅邸窗景中,使居者能近距離觀察所處環境,即便鄰近建築林立,依然瀰漫一股與世隔絕的超然感受。

The deliberate homogeneity of the interior finishes refers to the abstract and multi-directional characteristic of the architectural volumes perceived from the exterior. This radical approach relativizes the functional program of each room to subordinate it to the construction of a fluid landscaped interior, which is articulated under the play of light and complex lines of the designed space. This intentional elimination of materiality met the clients’ desires to live in a kind of minimal canvas of life, creating a neutral backdrop for their colorful lives. The continuation of a uniform materiality between the interior and exterior finishes inherently creates a contemplative living space, dictated by subtle variations of light, nature, and seasons on simplified forms.

 

量體內部則延續該案一貫的極簡設計語彙,透過白色飾面整合室內外,並任由光線隨著自然與季節的變化映照入室,帶來微妙的氛圍轉變,同時為全白居室注入一股流動感,造就抽象表徵與空間多變性,以此彰顯每個房間的差異。此外,團隊進一步捨棄多餘裝飾,旨在透過降低物質感受,滿足業主所期望的極簡生活樣貌,形成一處能使人靜思的安穩寓所。

NORM hopes to reinscribe a critical sense and awareness to the act of inhabiting, reinforcing a richer and more explicit relationship to the environment, all the while diminishing our material conquest that dominates our world of consumption.

 

綜觀本案,簡潔的單色基底不僅襯托居者豐富多彩的生活,更以一種具有批判性的方式,重新詮釋當代居住行為,回應著主宰人類的消費物質世界,從而體現極簡與純粹的難能可貴。
