Ness Point 住宅

Ness Point是坐落在英格兰多佛白崖上的一幢新住宅，它以蜿蜒的姿态嵌入环境，将周围的绝妙景致尽收眼底。从横跨英吉利海峡的来往船只，到冬至时从海平面升起的太阳，再到名为Ness Point的沿海悬崖，每个房间都坐拥独特的风景，房屋也以此命名。该建筑在某种程度上属于凯尔特风格，由生长于此的当地客户委托Tonkin Liu事务所打造，以回应这一地标性的文化和家庭遗产。

Ness Point is a new house set in the dramatic landscape of the White Cliffs of Dover. Hunkered into the land with undulating thick walls along its length, Ness Point is constructed as a journey with views that pull the surrounding landscape into the house. Each room is orientated towards a different aspect of the landscape, across the passing ships of the English Channel, towards the sun rising out of the sea at the winter solstice, to the coastal cliffs called Ness Point, after which the house is named. The client grew up in the locality and commissioned Tonkin Liu to design a modern building that responded to the cultural heritage of this landmark setting and to his own family heritage, suggesting that the building could in some ways be Celtic.

Ness Point的设计就好像它是从其嵌入的土地中长出来的。具有生物多样性的绿色屋顶向下倾斜到房屋后方的地面上，在储存雨水的同时还为当地的野生动植物提供了栖居场所。随着时间的流逝，房屋逐渐融合到了沿海崖顶的景观中。

Ness Point has been designed as if it had grown out of the land in which it is embedded. The bio-diverse green roof slopes downward into the land at the rear, retaining rainwater and harbouring local wildlife, merging the house, over time, into the landscape of the coastal cliff top.

虽然房屋的形状并不规则，但建造的技术却十分传统。浮动的平面和倾斜部分的共同创造出一个可灵活使用的大型洞穴式空间。室内能够捕捉到一天之中的光线变化，也让人更加切身地体会沿海天气的千变万化。

Although the form is irregular the constructional techniques used to construct the house are traditional. The combined effect of undulating plan and inclined sections creates a cavernous internal space that has been articulated to allow flexibility of use. The interior catches the dynamism of the day’s changing light so that the building becomes a part of the larger canvas of ever-changing coastal weather.

为了回应高出海平面65米的悬崖顶部的裸露自然景观，住宅被设计成高度密封和隔热的围护结构。城堡般的Ness Point住宅采用了热回收和太阳能热再生系统，使得能源效率在冬季达到最大化。而长长的走廊天窗和生态通风口，使被动冷却系统在炎热的夏季骄阳下也能发挥作用。

In response to the exposed nature of cliff top site perched 65 meter above the sea, the house is designed as a highly sealed and insulated enclosure. The castle-like Ness Point House utilises heat recovery and solar thermal renewable systems to maximise energy efficiency in the winter, whilst the long gallery skylight and eco-vents enable passive cooling for equally exposed hot summer sun.
