本案為一項電器小屋內的空間實驗，位於義大利奧爾塔湖周邊，Quadro 水龍頭公司總部內。團隊著重外部設計，並修復位於老舊的電器小屋。
Spatial experimentation inside an abandoned electrical cabin. The project is located in the surroundings of Lago d’Orta, inside the headquarters of the faucet company Quadro. Our intervention, focused on the design of the exteriors and the restoration of an old electrical cabin located inside the property, corresponds to the second phase of a wider intervention.
業主期望打造一座彈性多變的嶄新空間，既可供其家人居住，又可作商業用途，亦能是藝術家居所。該混凝土高地彷彿是一座公共廣場，小屋、涼棚和游泳池，透過三座獨立量體巧妙區分，靈活地定義各自的潛在用途。
The client's desire was to introduce in the property new flexible and dynamic spaces that could be lived from Magistro’s family, owner of the company, yet used for commercial purposes or as an artist’s residence. A concrete plateau identifies as a sort of public square from which three volumes emerge, subtly and flexibly defining various potential uses of the space: the cabin, the pergola, and the swimming pool.
鑑於小屋獨特的基地輪廓，設計師將其視為一次翻新與再利用的空間實驗機會。首先．利用推拉門模糊室內外邊界，好似直接地相互連通，位於室內的浴室和迷你廚房，則可作為戶外活動的支援。接著，透過金屬樓梯打造樓中樓，使垂直空間獲得充分利用。
The renovation and reuse of the abandoned electrical cabin, given its unusual shape for an inhabited space, becomes an opportunity for spatial experimentation. A system of sliding doors almost blurs the border between the exterior and the interior, which is consequently felt as in direct connection with the outside. The interior accommodates some technical functions, such as a bathroom and a mini kitchen, which can also serve as support for activities carried out outdoors. The building thus becomes a small activator of the company’s open spaces. The vertical dimension of the building is exploited through two mezzanines connected by a system of metal stairs.
第一夾層板尺寸較大，由天然木材製成，可放置一張床。第二塊夾層板由混凝土製成，寬敞尺寸亦可放置單張床舖；第三塊夾層板則是以現存的混凝土夾層板打造，亦因寬闊尺寸而能容納單張床鋪。材料和顏色的選擇上，試圖創造一個中性和且定義明確的空間，採用單一用色，保留材質的自然紋理和特性，任憑光線覆蓋其上。
The first intermediate slab, more generous in dimensions, is made of natural wood and accommodates a bed. The second one, pre-existing and in concrete, is transported into a more domestic dimension creating an intimate space in direct contact with the light entering from a window near the roof. The material and color choices aim to create a neutral and absolute space, almost sacred. With no additional colors, the materials preserve their natural texture and identity, flooded with light.
涼棚位於混凝土平台的邊緣，與小屋垂直，採鍍鋅鋼管狀型材建造，2.6 公尺的規則間距，排成 5 個跨距。前兩個跨度可容納休息室或用餐區，石材和金屬板製成的訂製廚房櫃檯則佔據另外兩個跨度，且由輕質波紋鐵板製成的屋頂遮蓋。
The pergola, located on the edge of the concrete plateau, perpendicular to the cabin, is built with tubular profiles in galvanized steel arranged in 5 spans with a regular pitch of 2.6 m. The first two spans can accommodate a lounge or dining area, while a custom-made long kitchen counter, made of stone and sheet metal, occupies other two spans and is protected by a roof made of light corrugated iron panels.
小型游泳池圍出整體空間界線，部分沉入地下，看似從混凝土地板中冒出的煙灰色石材，與廚房配置相互映，同時設有大型座椅供休憩。
A small swimming pool completes the intervention and defines its boundary. Sunken into the ground only for part of its depth, it looks as emerging from the concrete flooring as a monolithic volume in anthracite stone, recalling the volume of the kitchen and creating the occasion for a large seat.
