壁龛住宅（House with Alcove）

壁龛住宅位于米兰Navigli老城区的一栋修建于20世纪的传统多层建筑，是一间小小的顶层阁楼公寓。公寓的位置与古老的Darsena港口距离很近，在被遗忘多年之后，该区域于近期得到了重新规划。壁龛住宅是casatibuonsante事务所对以Airbnb等平台为代表的、日益受到均质化品味影响的共享式居住形态进行的研究成果之一。

casatibuonsante architects presents House with Alcove, a mini loft on the top floor of a traditional 20th century multi-storey building with balcony access, in Milan. Located in the historic Navigli workers’ district, the apartment is a stone’s throw from the Darsena, the ancient port of the city: a forgotten area that has recently been the focus of a redevelopment plan. House with Alcove is part of broader research carried out by the office, dedicated to studying the effects of the sharing economy on the delineation of the domestic landscape, which is increasingly shaped by platforms such as Airbnb, and influenced by a growing homogenization of taste.

住宅的面积为35平方英尺，具有独特且整体化的室内装潢，室内结构分为一个简洁的厨房，以及一个同时充当卧室、客厅和餐厅的多功能的混合空间。该住宅的主人是一位年轻的剧本创作者和影视记者，室内空间富有层次感，其开放和私密的程度也有着不同变化。固定的模块将空间分为不同的部分（包括厨房和储藏室），并将客厅界定出来，另外还有一条窄窄的走廊通向浴室。精致的卧室被嵌入模块之中，床垫旁边围绕着橡木材质的衣橱和储物空间。滑动式的窗帘将睡眠区域和走廊隔开，创造出一个私密的空间，以具有现代感的壁龛唤起对中世纪帐床的记忆。

A unique and complex fixed furnishing element crowns the 35-square-foot surface of the project, originally divided into a modest kitchen and a multi-purpose hybrid space that served as a bedroom, a living room and a dining room. New hierarchies and varying levels of intimacy articulate the space, which has been tailor-made for a young screenwriter and cinema journalist. The fixed module divides the environment into separate spaces, hosting the kitchen and a storage room, and defining the living area, from which a small corridor leads to the bathroom. The small bedroom is located within the module itself. On the sides, wardrobes and storage spaces in flamed oak surround the mattress, while a sliding curtain separates the sleeping area from the corridor, creating a private space, a contemporary alcove evocative of medieval canopy beds.

家具被赋予了建筑的特质，为以红色地砖为特征的室内空间赋予了层次感。按照房主的要求，建筑师以模块的形式来承载厨房、壁橱、卧室、书架和衣柜的功能，使起居空间变得开放而自由。住宅通过充分地考量使用者的行为习惯和性格秉性，为之打造出独一无二的居住环境。高度的私密性使得住宅和居住者彼此融为一体，均质化的共享经济在这里将不复存在。

Furniture becomes an architectural element, defining the hierarchies of the space, characterized by a surface of red cementiles. Assuming the role of kitchen, closet, bedroom, bookcase and wardrobe, the module introduced by the architects leaves the living area free to be reconfigured, as required. House with Alcove approaches domestic landscape through the representation of people’s behavior, within a process that considers the characteristics of each person, their habits and their aspirations. House and identity fuse through an exceptional level of intimacy that the sharing economy tends, by nature, to dissolve.
