腰越之家丨日本丨ROOVICE

项目坐落于横滨以南镰仓市的小镇 —— 腰越（Koshigoe），小镇风景优美，面朝壮丽的相模湾，并以其独特的历史文脉和旅游聚集地而闻名。

Facing the splendid Sagami Bay, Koshigoe is a small municipality in Kamakura, a city located south of Yokohama.The area is commonly known for its historical events, as well as a touristic gathering spot.

小镇的发展遵循东西方向，平行于主要道路以及江岛电力铁路。特别是这条沿海岸线延伸的江岛电力铁路，它是日本1902年开通的首批电气化铁路之一，因此对村庄有着重要的意义与作用。由于腰越镇的发展是基于完工后的铁路展开的，因此导致了一种独特的城市肌理，即火车会在靠近住宅的地方运行。本项目初建于1971年，是一栋坐落在铁轨前的双层家庭住宅。作为腰越密集住宅城区的一部分，场地唯一的入口坐落于沿铁路的南侧街道上。

The town development follows the east-west direction parallel to the coast line given by the main road and the Enoshima Electric Railway. The latter one, in particular, has a big role in the village since it’s one of the first electric railways opened in Japan back in 1902. Since Koshigoe’s expansion started after the rails’ completion, the result is a unique situation in which the train runs exceptionally in close proximity to the dwellings. Initially built back in 1971 as a two-storeys family house, Koshigoe House finds itself right in front of the train tracks. Being part of a wider dense area, the only access is placed south along the rails.

屋主人希望建筑师能够将一楼改造为草药药房，并将二楼重新规划作为单人公寓使用。在日本，药店和其他商业活动空间需要设有独立的公共通道，但相邻的周围建筑阻碍了这第二条独立通道的设置。因此，设计团队决定保留现有的入口用于公共和私人功能。

The client asked to transform the first floor into his herbal pharmacy and rearrange the second storey for a one person apartment. Pharmacies and other commercial activities in Japan are required to provide their own independent public access, but the adjacent surrounding constructions impede a second approach to the premises. Consequently, the design team decided to keep the existing entrance for both public and private functions.

屋主人的另一个要求则关乎到室内设计，他希望他的房子能够拥有吉卜力工作室电影中的氛围。在吉卜力大量受欢迎的电影中，设计团队选择了两部作为腰越之家的参考，分别为《借物少女艾莉缇》（2010）以及《回忆中的玛妮》（2014），这两部电影中的住宅都以色彩丰富的室内设计和鲜明的木制纹理为特色。

Another request from the client regarded the interiors: he wanted his house to look like a Studio Ghibli movie. Among the vast catalogue of acclaimed films published by the studio, two were chosen as reference for Koshigoe House: The Secret World of Arrietty (2010) and When Marnie Was There (2014), both of which feature colourful interiors and a predominance of wooden texture emerging above all.

因此，设计团队将底层的几个房间合并，以形成工作空间，并采用一面从北到南的新墙将私人房间和药房分隔开来。虽然内墙已被拆除，但支撑原墙体的垂直和对倾斜的柱子却被保留了下来，这些柱子除了作为结构元素，同时还起到了在视觉上分隔不同区域的作用。此外，设计团队还将墙壁和人行道的木质色调与房间的复古家具融合在一起。

Therefore, the first floor merged several rooms to form the working space. A new wall runs from north to south and delimits the private rooms from the pharmacy. The internal walls have been removed, but the vertical and diagonal columns are still standing for various reasons: more than being structural elements, they work as a threshold between various areas. Furthermore, they blend the wooden tones of walls and pavement with the vintage-looking furniture of the room.

屋主人的单身公寓位于建筑的二层，唯一的例外是坐落于底层的浴室，以同时供客人使用。与底层空间的改造理念相同，二层的内墙也被完全拆除，使整个房间形成连续的空间氛围，进而改善了整个房间的交通流线。空间布局基于平面中四个大小尺度相似的部分，厨房和卧室位于北端，而客厅和餐厅位于南端，享有更加明亮的空间氛围以及南侧宽敞的露台。同样，二层空间中保留下来的部分结构元素也起到了分隔空间以及定义走廊过道的作用。

The apartment is located on the second floor with the only exception being the bathroom left below since it can be used for the guests as well. Similarly to downstairs, the removal of the previous dividers allowed for a continuous space with an improved flow throughout the rooms. The layout is based on four equal parts of the plan: kitchen and bedroom are placed on the north end, while living and dining rooms can benefit from a brighter space and the generous terrace on the south side. Also here, the remaining structural elements are shaping the various areas by creating thresholds and passages.

腰越之家的改造设计保留了室内空间的二元性，底层光线温和、轻松舒适的公共空间与二层清新低调的公寓形成了和谐的对比与互补。

Koshigoe House retains a duality on the inside: the darker but welcoming public space on the first floor is opposed to the fresh discreet apartment above.
