Studio Farris Architects transformed a small
barn, part of a farm complex with several buildings, into an office
space with meeting room, library, office desks and a resting/reading
area. The owner wanted to have a small office detached from his
house so he would be able to work from home at times. The stable was no
more in use so he decided to use it as his home-office. The
original stable, dating back to the early 1900s, was composed of several
small rooms on two floors. With their renovation, the architects wanted
to transform this fragmented space by enhancing the perception of the
total form of the building. So they completely emptied it by demolishing
the rooms and the first floor. Within this outer brick envelope, they
created an inner one made out of concrete. A new “box” with a serene
atmosphere was designed and inserted into the original volume. Also,
this box-in-box system allows to improve energy efficiency and avoid any
chemical reactions with sulphates in the ground and walls of the
original farm. In order to respond to the functional
requirements from the client, the architects decided to design an
autonomous furniture object that could divide the space without blocking
views nor altering the perception of the whole volume. This
object, made out of layers of stacked timber beams, transforms the space
into a very functional office. The wooden beams top out to a small
shared work area with two desks. A meeting area is created below with a
view onto the landscape. The stacked beams become library, bookshelves,
storage and resting and reading corners. The beams were stacked in this
particular way to create a staircase to climb to the upper workspace,
and can easily reach the different bars on each level. The stacked wood mezzanine can be removed, thus making the building free and flexible to contain other objects and interiors. The
original façade was restored and new openings were created, responding
to programmatic needs. Extra windows and skylight take full advantage of
natural daylight. A large sliding glass door opens up the interior to
the outside.
Tā, nu šo ir paveikuši ļautiņi "tālajā" Flandrijā. Un aprakstījuši, kā jau tas skaistai idejai pienākas, citi - visā plašajā pasaulē. Jāpieliek kaut kas arī no sevis, tā sacīt, jārada pievienotā vērtība :) Jā, starp citu, iepriekšējā bildē man ir saprotams tāds fasādes dizaina elements kā pie sienas uzkārtas koka trepes. Bet šausmīgi interesantas ir tās slīpās betona kāpnītes, kuras uzved virs loga un beidzas pie aizmūrētām mazām durtiņām. Droši vien kaķiem, domāju. Neba jau suņiem vai kazām :)
Tātad. Saimniekam ir gadsimtu vecs, divstāvīgs stallis ar šķērssienām iekšā, kurā atsevišķi no citām ēkām tiek iecerēts mājas ofiss.
Acīmredzot, saimnieks un speciālisti saprot, ka veci mūri ir veci mūri, ka tie agri vai vēlu uzrādīs kaut kādus mitruma, pelējuma vai ķīmisko procesu pleķus. Tāpēc un arī siltināšanas dēļ tiek lemts: - Visu korpusu no iekšpuses iztīrīt, ielikt betona čaulu, tad unikālu kļavas koka instalāciju un beigās jumtu virsū.
Ofisa galā lielas atbīdāmas stikla durvis, kas atvērtā stāvoklī pazūd starp veco mūri un jauno betona sienu. Citā sienā ir nemanāmas durvis, varbūt uz noliktavu, varbūt uz WC. Koka konstrukcija apvieno sevī gan plauktus, gan kāpnes uz otro līmeni, gan unikālu interjera ideju. Otrajā stāvā pat var saskatīt, ka kokā iebūvēts kaut kas aizbīdāms (varbūt bāriņš :)).
Ofiss ir gaišs, jo arī jumtā ir logi. Tīri izjūtu līmenī šī ir vieta, kurā gribētos ienākt un uzturēties. Gulēšanai gan nekas nav manāms, tātad tas paredzēts "lielajā" mājā :)
Southern Poland’s picturesque, mountainous
landscape was a key inspiration for Konieczny’s Ark, a new house in the
hills of Brenna by Katowice-based firm KWK Promes.
The tough, faceted concrete looks as if it has just landed on this
grassy meadow, but its appearance belies a clever structural arrangement
that treats the home like a bridge over the landscape, allowing
rainwater to flow harmlessly underneath. The bulk of the pitched-roof building, reminiscent of the region’s gabled barns, is raised high off
the ground for security, with a drawbridge-style entranceway at one end.
The boat-like feel is enhanced by sloping concrete walls that enclose
the underfloor storage area, creating spectacular, unencumbered views
from within and making the house seem as if it’s launching itself from
the hillside. An open-plan central living space is bookended by three bedrooms and a terrace. Pictured: Konieczny’s Ark was built for the owner of KWK Promes, Robert
Konieczny. Situated on a hillside, the ‘floating’ structure allows water
and mud to flow underneath freely.

Ir tāda māja Polijā. Sākšu ar projekta
visprozaiskāko daļu - mājas plānu. Iecerēts
kā šķūnis. No kreisā gala trīs guļamistabas,
apvienotā virtuves, ēdamistabas un atpūtas zona, un
labajā galā terase. Viss vienkārši, funkcionāli un saprotami.
Bet projekts ir unikāls tieši ar pielāgošanos
dabai. Autors ir pastāvējis uz to, ka būve nedrīkst
traucēt jebkāda ūdens aiztecēšanai. Tāpēc māja tiek
pacelta virs zemes un uzlikta uz trīs balstiem. Pēc tam
šie balsti tiek nosegti ar tik pat slīpām sienām kā jumts.
Savukārt, jumta slīpumu diktējot kaut kādi tā reģiona
būvniecības noteikumi.
Tā izskatās zem mājas. Ja naktī tur ieslēdz gaismu ...,
tad izskatās kosmiski.
Vēl viens akcents, ko es sapratu no izlasītā. Māja stāv nomaļus. Tāpēc nebūt nav lieks jautājums par drošību. Māja tiek pacelta tik augstu, ka ielejas pusē logi nav aizsniedzami, bet aizsniedzamajiem otrā pusē paredzēti aizbīdāmi slēģi.
