Balma Murada之家丨MESURA

Balma Murada之家被构想为一种回应场地而非强加于场地的建筑。住宅位于自然保护区边缘，通过在地材料与传统建造技艺回应强风环境与不规则地形，在建筑与场所之间建立起直接关联。

Casa Balma Murada is conceived as an architecture of response rather than imposition. Located at the edge of a natural reserve, the house engages the strong wind and the irregular geometry of the terrain through local materials and traditional construction techniques, establishing a direct relationship between architecture and place.

场地解读

Reading the Site

项目始于对场地语境的细致阅读：显著的岩石地貌、持续不断的强风，以及一种基于直接利用本地资源的建造传统。这些条件从一开始便定义了建筑，并促使石材成为整个建造体系中的结构性材料。所有外围墙体均采用KM0石材建造，这些石材来自场地本身，在车库开挖过程中被直接取出。从土地中移除以腾出建筑空间的材料，最终转化为建筑自身的构成物，由此强化了土地、材料与建筑之间的连续关系。

The project begins with an attentive reading of its context: a markedly rocky ground, constant exposure to wind, and a building tradition based on the direct use of local resources. These conditions define the architecture from the outset and lead to stone as the structuring material of the construction system. All perimeter walls are built using KM0 stone extracted from the plot itself during the excavation of the garage. What is removed from the ground to make space for the building becomes the substance of its construction, reinforcing continuity between land, material, and architecture.

几何、景观与气候

Geometry, Landscape and Climate

建筑立面顺应地形与既有岩石的自然几何关系展开，贴合地势并通过碎片化处理形成多重朝向与视野。每一个室内空间都与周边环境建立起特定关系，有选择地朝向自然公园、海洋或邻近村落打开。

The façade follows the natural geometry of the topography and existing rocks, adapting to the relief and fragmenting to generate multiple orientations and views. Each interior space establishes a specific relationship with its surroundings, opening selectively toward the natural park, the sea, or the nearby village.

为应对持续性的强风环境，住宅依赖于体量、墙体厚度与整体几何形态。石墙提供了热惰性与气候防护，而碎片化的外围轮廓则促进了自然空气流通。建筑依据当地法规被设计为单层体量，在封闭与开放之间取得平衡，石材则成为连接室内空间与景观之间的媒介。

In response to persistent wind exposure, the house relies on mass, wall thickness, and volumetric geometry. The stone walls provide thermal inertia and climatic protection, while the fragmented perimeter encourages natural air circulation. Designed as a single-storey volume in accordance with local regulations, the house balances enclosure and openness, with stone acting as a mediator between interior spaces and landscape.

石材作为结构与记忆

Stone as Structure and Memory

墙体被构想为自承重构件，采用传统石砌建造技艺，并使用周边环境中的本地材料建造。该体系接纳石材自身固有的不规则性，使厚重、层叠的墙体得以形成，并主要依靠重力作用实现结构稳定。这种建造方式有助于适应地面微小位移，并促进自然排水。石材的使用延续了农业梯田与地中海历史建筑结构之间的脉络联系，同时降低环境影响，并强化建筑在物质与文化层面上的场所根植性。住宅并未强行介入场地，而是通过自身的材料属性融入这片土地。

The walls are conceived as self-supporting elements, built using traditional stone construction techniques and local material sourced from the immediate surroundings. The system embraces the inherent irregularity of stone, allowing the construction of massive, stratified walls that work primarily through gravity. This method facilitates adaptation to ground movements and contributes to natural water drainage. The use of stone establishes continuity with agricultural terraces and historic Mediterranean structures, reduces environmental impact, and reinforces the building’s physical and cultural rootedness. The house does not impose itself on the site; it integrates into the territory through its own matter.

漫步Balma Murada

A Walk Through Balma Murada

与扎根场地、充满矿物感的外部不同，室内空间则呈现出一种纯粹的地中海语言。空间追求光线、连续性与宁静感，营造出平和的居住氛围，并强调与户外环境之间的联系。厚重构造感的外部与明亮、克制的内部形成对比，进一步强化了庇护感，以及景观与居所之间的转换关系。进入路径进一步强化了建筑与地形之间的关系。日常出入通过嵌入地面的车库完成，而这些石材也正是从此处开采所得；主入口则以一种缓慢上升的路径展开，引导人们穿越岩石景观。位于上层的露台与泳池同时朝向住宅两侧展开视野，形成一个完全融入自然保护区之中的室外空间。

In contrast to the mineral, site-anchored exterior, the interior is defined by an essential Mediterranean language. Spaces seek light, continuity, and calm, creating a serene domestic atmosphere that emphasizes the relationship with the outdoors. The contrast between a tectonic exterior and a bright, restrained interior reinforces the sense of refuge and the transition between landscape and dwelling. The access sequence strengthens the relationship with the terrain. Daily access occurs through the garage embedded in the ground from which the stone was extracted, while the main entrance unfolds as a gradual ascent through the rocky landscape. At the upper level, the terrace and pool open to views on both sides of the house, forming an exterior space fully integrated within the natural reserve.

扎根于场所的建筑

An Architecture Rooted in Place

Balma Murada之家综合呈现了一种立足于场地观察与资源自觉利用的建筑方法。项目以石材与传统建造知识为基础，塑造出一座与其物理环境和文化语境相一致的建筑。最终呈现的是一种以克制、连续性与根植性回应景观的建筑——一座顺应土地而非对抗土地的住宅。

Casa Balma Murada synthesizes an approach to architecture grounded in observation of place and conscious use of its resources. Defined by stone and traditional construction knowledge, the project gives form to a building coherent with its physical and cultural context. The result is an architecture that engages with the landscape through discretion, continuity, and rootedness — a house that works with the land rather than against it.
