Stable in West Flanders
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 :)
