Cap St·Martin 住宅

Cap St-Martin住宅位于波顿镇（Potton）内一条蜿蜒道路的尽端。该住宅坐落在一个高处的平地上，西面是树木茂盛的高地，东面是陡峭的斜坡。此外，住宅的周边还有一系列隐藏在树林中、面向Memphremagog湖（Lake Memphremagog）的度假住宅。通过一个建在陡峭山地上的楼梯，住户可以直接到达湖泊。

The Cap St-Martin residence is located at the end of a long winding road in Potton. Most of the neighbouring properties are made up of second homes isolated from each other by a mixed forest, facing Lake Memphremagog. The residence is located on a plateau surrounded by a wooded mound to the west and a steep slope to the east. The path down from Cap St-Martin is steep, but a staircase leads to the lake.

受到当地农场建筑的影响，客户希望建筑师为他们设计一座能够欣赏到自然美景的“农舍”风格的度假住宅。因此最终的体量采用了简单而细长的传统形式，以现代的设计方法和造型重新诠释了谷仓。

From the first meeting, clients spoke of their attraction to the “barnhouse” style, an architectural influence that refers to the region’s long farm buildings. They are looking for a warm second home that offers a great view of nature. The design then moves towards a simple and elongated traditional shape, which is characterized by a contemporary reinterpretation of the barn.

走近住宅，人们便会看到两个具有双坡屋顶的建筑体量。位于前侧位置的较小体量内囊括了一个loft式客房空间、客户的车库和一个艺术家工作室。该体量通过一个可作为过渡空间的明亮的玻璃走廊与住宅主体量联系在了一起。在主体量空间里漫步，之前的空间紧凑感都不复存在，人们会逐渐感受到住宅的悠长和宽敞。主体量的公共区域作为整个住宅的核心，宽阔且明亮。背靠山林，面朝湖泊，这个公共空间两侧长长的玻璃立面不仅提供了截然相反的绝佳景观：一侧是郁郁葱葱的森林山景，另一侧则是宁静悠远的湖景，还确保了室内空间全天候的自然采光，给人一种置身于室外的错觉。室内的混凝土地板向外延伸，创造出一个室外的露台，突出了空间的通透性和连通性。厨房、次要服务空间和有顶的室外露台依次相连。木饰面的坡屋顶覆盖着整个聚会空间，给人一种大教堂般的柔和感。

As you approach, you will see two familiarly shaped silhouettes with a gable roof. The smallest area in the foreground houses a guest loft, the client’s garage and artist studio. This section of the residence is connected to the main area by a glass tunnel, which provides a gentle transition filled with light. The length of the residence that can be discovered while walking around, contrasts with the impression of a compact house that can be seen when arriving. The heart of this residence was inspired by the clients’ desire to have a spacious, bright and lake-oriented “great room”. This central room that hosts the living spaces is quite surprising. Its two long glass facades offer a contrast between the view of the forest and the view of the lake. The room provides plenty of natural light all day long, so you literally feel like you’re outside. The extension of the concrete floor on the patio emphasizes this transparency effect. The residence is designed to be a gathering place. The kitchen connects to a second service area that connects directly with the covered patio. The cathedral ceiling, covered with wood, gives the place a softer feel.

底层架空的二层室内走廊位于建筑的西侧，贯穿了整个主要居住空间，连接了两端的卧室。主卧设有自己的露台，住户可以在此欣赏壮丽的景色。

A footbridge on the west side crosses the room and leads to the bedrooms. Upstairs, the master bedroom with its own patio offers a breathtaking view.

住宅外立面上的深色木制壁板和金属屋顶都让人不仅联想到农舍。两个建筑体量的屋顶向彼此所在的方向延伸，在视觉上变成了一个整体，从而突显了住宅的线性形式。自然景观和建筑在半覆盖的露台空间上相遇，随后在住宅外墙干净利落的线条轮廓和精致的外立面处相融合。

Outside, the dark wood siding and metal roof are reminiscent of farm buildings. The awnings on either side of the residence continue and link the two areas, underlining the linearity of the house. The semi-covered patio marks the interface between the landscape and the built environment. The pure lines and refined treatment of the façades promote integration into the region’s natural and built landscape.
