法国南部度假屋丨Valerie Chomarat

法国建筑师和室内设计师Valerie Chomarat为她的家人设想了一个以日本为灵感的度假屋，它和周围的环境一样壮观。在过去的25年里，Chomarat为她的客户设计了宫殿式的住宅和令人惊叹的游艇，但这个位于法国南部的住宅是她第一次为她的家人创造超越装饰的东西。从开始到结束，这个项目花了她近四年的时间来完成。

French architect and interior designer Valérie Chomarat has envisioned a Japanese-inspired holiday home for her family that is just as spectacular as its surroundings.Over the past 25 years, Chomarat has designed palatial homes and swashbuckling yachts for her clients, but this home in South of France was the first time she was creating something for her family that went beyond decoration. From start to finish, this project took her almost four years to complete.

在她位于法国南部的度假屋中，Chomarat创造了亲密的体量，例如这个赤土色的露台，漂亮地框住了外部景观，并提供了避暑和避光的机会。地平线既是背景，也是住宅的主角，设计师用拉长的开口和伸展的体量组成了一种崇高的建筑语言。该住宅由当地石灰石覆盖，融入了Bandol的阳光地带，让大自然成为中心舞台。

At her holiday home in South of France, Chomarat has created intimate volumes, such as this terracotta-hued terrace, that beautifully frame exterior views and offer respite from heat and light.The horizon became both a backdrop and the main protagonist of the home, with the designer composing a sublime architectural language of elongated openings and stretched volumes.Clad in local limestone, the house blends into Bandol’s sun-kissed terrain, allowing nature to take centrestage.

受到建筑师Tadao Ando将风景与建筑环境和附近的Ardeche森林之美结合起来的启发，Chomarat创造了一个微妙的分层方案，使房子的内部和外部世界相互丰富。通过保持墙壁、地板和天花板的相同颜色，只使用一种石材，即石灰石，这种石材在该地区非常丰富，探索它的一切都是美丽的，从粗糙、磨练到抛光，Chomarat 充分利用了其简单性和独特性。

Inspired by the architect Tadao Ando’s mastery of framing landscapes with the built environment and the beauty of the nearby Ardèche forest, Chomarat has created a subtly layered scheme in which the house’s interior and outside world enrich one another.By keeping the walls, floor and the ceiling in the same colour and deploying just one stone – limestone, which is abundant in the region, and exploring it in all is beauty, from rough and honed, to polished – Chomarat dialled into the strength of simplicity and singularity.

因此，这所房子巧妙地融入了它的周围环境。赭石色的外墙、砖石长椅的泥土色调和烟草色的瓷砖，使它与当地环境融为一体，同时创造出一种子宫般的舒适感。从泥土色调的床单到阳台上似乎触手可及的古树，卧室里有一种与自然不间断的联系。

As a result, the house artfully blends into its surroundings. Ochre exterior walls, the earthy hues of the masonry benches and the tobacco-hued tiles ground it in its locality, while creating a womb-like cosiness.From bed linen in earthy tones to the ancient trees that seem within grasp from the balcony, there is an unbroken connection to nature in the bedrooms.
