META-工作室新近完成了一幢位于中国秦皇岛市阿那亚度假社区的临海别墅。秦皇岛市由于其地理位置拥有距离北京和天津最近的海滩，因此成为了两大城市数以千万计的人们夏日度假的首选。而远离拥挤的人群，向南一小时车程的“小镇”阿那亚，以其宁静安谧的海滩与极负盛名的社区营建，在过去五年中成为了新中产阶级们追求“高品质度假生活”的目的地，也是海滨度假住宅的理想选址。

A new beach house has recently been completed in Aranya, Qinhuangdao, China. Qinhuangdao, with its geographic reason as having the nearest beach, is known as the most populous city for millions of people from Beijing and Tianjin to enjoy their summer holidays. Yet an-hour drive down south from the massive crowd, a small town – Aranya, for its serene beach environment and great community engagement, in the last 5 years has become the destination for the new middle-class, to pursue a “quality holiday resort” lifestyle，and ideal location for beach houses.

场地距离海滩仅咫尺之遥，其绝佳位置不仅可将壮丽海景尽收眼底，更因阿那亚礼堂打破海平线的尖屋顶而富有意趣。客户希望META-工作室利用场地绝佳的环境重新设计一座住宅，我们经过研究认为，原先的建筑自东向西面朝大海，又有往南延伸的部分，这一布局既能够避开夏日艳阳，还将海景最大限度地纳入眼底。于是我们在原有结构框架基础上进行了充分的利用与改造，在南侧增加稍短的侧翼以扩充开放式的生活空间。以一种可持续的方式，我们重新创造了“贯通”于建筑内的全新空间体验，使住户在住宅中穿行的同时与场地的极佳位置产生紧密联系，于偶然间邂逅其周边自然以及社群环境。

Located in a prime position within steps to the beach, this site not only takes in sweeping view of the sea without any obstruction, but also well enhanced by the pitched-roof “spiritual center”of the Aranya Chapel. While we were asked by the client to redesign a new house to fit its wonderful setting, we thought the previous building that had a footprint running west-east towards the sea and stretching to the south has a potential to orient the house to maximize the sea view while blocking out the summer sun. Thereafter, we reclaimed and altered the existing on-site structure to add a shorter wing on the south side to allow an open-plan for more living spaces. In a sustainable way, we re-create a new spatial experience that flows “through” the building, which engages people with the surrounding of this prime site as one moves through the house, providing a sense of the entire natural/communal environment in incidental moments.

T宅的北立面重构成为两个相互交织的体量：现场浇筑的白色混凝土墙呈厚重“T”型，坐落于深色片岩基座之上。这片厚实的“T”型盔甲不但使整个建筑免受冬季寒冷的北风侵袭，而且位于公众去往沙滩与礼堂的必经之路上，北立面的起伏表面与凸凹窗口也向过往行人展示了一种生动的表情。

The House T’s north façade is reconfigured with two volumes interlocking together: a thickened white T-shape cast-in-concrete wall sitting on a dark layered schist rock plinth. This solid “T” armour of the north façade shelters the building from cold winter northern winds, while at the same time its undulating surfaces and punched in and out openings provide the audiences with a vivid expression, as most of the public coming towards the beach and the chapel will pass by this prime located property along the north side.
