威尔士第一家弹出式精品酒店

Dragon’s Eye: Clearly Carwyn Lloyd Jones had a great deal of fun creating this cabin. Viewed from a distance, especially in the dark with the bedroom’s burning stove fully lit, the impression is of the giant unblinking eye of an animal hidden in the landscape

从本质上看，主题度假村可能是一个棘手的命题，但威尔士八个豪华小屋的揭幕让我们重新考虑了我们的偏见，并检查了飞机时刻表。

去年底，包括威尔士旅游产品创新基金和乔治·托马斯建筑师在内的一个财团举办了一场全球竞赛，以设计受威尔士神话、传统和自然启发的迷人单元。从结构上讲，这份简报呼吁“开发一个高质量、自成一体的迷人住宿单元，以形成一个完全独特的移动酒店”。

由此产生的八个小木屋，统称“爱泼性复生症”和威尔士第一家弹出式精品酒店，将于今年6月揭幕，这是一间几乎可以移动的住宿设施，整个月将在南斯诺多尼亚的山麓度过，然后在夏天搬迁到Llyn半岛的野生海岸小径。

显然，设计师们能够放纵自己的幻想之道，尤其是卡文·劳埃德·琼斯(Carwyn Lloyd Jones)的“龙眼”(Carwyn Lloyd Jones)，锌和金属瓦在其中唤起鳞片，以及米勒·肯德里克·建筑师(Miller Kendrick Architors)的亚瑟洞穴(Arthur‘s Cave)，这是对曾经与未来的国王曾寻求庇护的神奇洞穴的致敬

由于设计方案千差万别，每个小木屋共用一个共同的DNY，一个固定在木头燃烧器上的起居区，毗邻的浴室和一个双焦耳滚刀，而公共活动则通过公共房间、烧烤坑和就餐区得到便利。

Dragon’s Eye: A combination of slanting roof encased in shingles (for the shape of the eye), and curved glass (for the eyeball) provides for fine views

Arthur’s Cave: Miller Kendrick Architects’s slick polygonal structure is clad in birch-faced ply, the raised central foundation allowing the whole to seemingly float over the terrain

Arthur’s Cave: The beveled window, really a sliding glazed door, is both oculus and viewing platform, its generous proportions sweeping in light and panorama by day, and starlight by night

Cabin in the Woods: Inspired by a Welsh poem, Francis and Arnett designed this intriguing cubist structure to be sited in a forest, the bulk raised on slender stilts to resemble an almost Tim Burton-esque creature prowling through the foliage

Cabin in the Woods: Oriented towards the northeast, the interior of local timber, slate and timber is wreathed in shadows and light as the sun passes overhead

Miner’s Hut: The palimpsest of Wales’s once thriving mining industry, its iron sheds and mining hulks still dotting the landscape, is read with great effect in How About Studio’s tribute

Miner’s Hut: The subterranean aesthetic is immediately recalled with a low-set tunnel entrance through which guests crawl to emerge into the internal living spaces comprised of inter-connecting corridors; less agile guests enter through a quotidian door

Slate Cabin: Mimicking the stone cairns built by walkers down the ages, Trias Studio layered its cabin with grey Welsh slate to great effect

Slate Cabin: The interior, by contrast, is sheathed in warm hued timber. The centrepiece is a raised platform with a direct sightline through the oversized window to the views beyond

Little Dragon: Symbolism features heavily in Barton Wilmore Architects’ design for the Little Dragon cabin. The scaled clawed feet of the titular creature is recalled in the shingled tripod foundation, whilst the tubular form is an homage to mining machinery

Little Dragon: The result is a surprisingly spacious interior where the circular bed sits above the living room

Black Hat: A favoured children’s accessory during the St David’s Day festivities, the Black Hat is an homage to the Welsh women who rallied against an ultimately doomed French invasion in the 18th century

Black Hat: In the hands of Rural Office for Architecture, the historic event is recalled in the form of a conical structure that forms a tepee, the tip a literal sun-dial, whilst the walls are lined with Welsh wool

Sky Hut: Waind Gohil + Potter Architects has inserted a geared pulley system borrowed from sail-boating into the hinges of the roof so that the entire covering literally lifts open to take in the open sky and the constellations

Sky Hut: It’s a conceit that combines the best of both worlds – the sensation of outdoor camping, but from the comfort of bed
