拉萨太阳的味道

项目位于拉萨老城区南端，拉萨河北岸的仙足岛上的一片老小区里。小区基本上是兵营式布局的联排别墅。地块处在临河的第一排，面对着拉萨河和前面的宝瓶山。房子是前后两排建筑围合的一个院子,建筑原貌是一种欧式和藏式混杂的风格。

The project is located at the southern of the old city of Lhasa, on the northern bank of Lhasa River, in an old residentiel area of Xianzu Island.The house is in the first row facing the the Lhasa River and the Aquarius Hill in front. The house is a courtyard surrounded by two rows of buildings at the front and back: the front row has only one story, containing the kitchen and dining room, and the back row has two stories, containing the living room and bedrooms. The original is a hybrid style with European and Tibetan elements.

屋主想把这个院子改造成民宿。但现状房子在功能上有很多不足。比如厨房因为临路所以没有开窗，造成昏暗和通风差。前排屋面上可以欣赏河景，但上屋面是一部简易的小钢梯，做民宿的话还要加建几个卫生间，诸如此类的问题。所以，在设计策略上，在保留原有建筑格局的基础上，我们加入了一些小的几何体：微几何，来补足原有功能上的缺失，同时激发空间上的品质。比如在厨房空间加入了采光高窗，使厨房变得明亮舒适，同时它又做为厨房上方屋顶平台的安全护栏。还有二楼原有的储物夹层的位置，增加了一个沐浴天光的卫生间，同时天光让原本昏暗的楼梯间也亮堂了。

The owner wants to turn the yard into a b&B. But the present house has many inadequacies in the function. For example, because the front kitchen is facing the road inside the community, there is no window so, resulting in dim and ventilated poor; The front roof can enjoy the river view, but at present,to climbing the roof we using a simple small steel ladder; in the second floor of the bedroom back row , two bathrooms should be added etc…. Therefore, in terms of the design strategy, while retaining the original architectural pattern, we used small operations and added some small geometry: microgeometry, to complement the absence of the original function, while stimulating the quality of the space. Added daylighting high window in kitchen space for instance, make the kitchen becomes bright and comfortable, at the same time skylight serves as the safety guardrils of terrace above kitchen again. There is also the location of the original storage mezzanine on the second floor, where we break through the roof and add a bathroom to bathe in the skylight, while the skylight brightens the originally dark stairwell. The same built-in geometry includes the steps to the terrace; the bridge connecting the two rows of houses; the entrance gate; and the addition of a floating staff toilet etc.

建筑语言方面，当你拿到风景这手好牌的时候，你不再需要任何的炫技。所以，建筑被处理的尽量的简单，所有多余的装饰和符号都被抹去。建构上，采用的也都是最简单的工艺，工人们最熟悉的方法。最终整个建筑被统一成一个现代的白房子。白色的外墙用了当地特有的工艺：牛骨油混合白石灰，这是在很多民居和宗教建筑外墙都会看到的日常材料。同时，白色与屋主人从拉萨各处淘购来的民族气息的彩色配饰也形成了空间配色上的绝妙平衡。庭院原计划用小石块铺地，但当地市场没有找到，于是改成常规的石材铺装衬以卵石，卵石就近取材，就是拉萨河河滩地上拾取。

When it comes to architectural language, you don’t need to show off any more when you’re in such beautiful scene. Therefore, the building was kept as simple as possible, and all superfluous decorations and symbols were removed. For construction technique, we use the most simple process. The way that workers are most familiar with: Concrete mold, flat steel welding, indoor plain cement floor, wood doors and Windows on-site production, paint exterior wall and so on… Eventually the entire building was unified into a modern White House. The white exterior walls are made with a local technique: yak bone oil mixed with white lime, an very commun material found on the exterior walls of many houses and religious buildings. In the meantime, the white color formed the wonderful balance on dimensional match color with the colorful ethnic objets bought from Lhasa by house host . The courtyard was originally planned to be paved with small stones, but it was not found in the local market, so it was replaced with conventional stone paving lined with pebbles, which were picked up on the beach of Lhasa River.

建筑面南向尽量的扩大窗洞口，把河景更多的收入房间也让拉萨充沛的日光照射进来，北面除庭院处做了落地推拉门以外，则都是小洞口。

In the south of the building, the window hole is expanded as far as possible to bring more river view into the rooms and let the abundant sunlight of Lhasa into the room. In the north, there are all small holes except the sliding door made in the courtyard.
