Galvani House是一栋私人住宅,位于法国巴黎,是由Christian Pottgiesser 及architecturespossibles建筑事务所设计的,2003年建成。
Galvani House是一座三层小楼向庭院的扩建建筑,可以容纳7人居住。
在小楼旁边有一处街道花园,现行的建筑法规、Galvani House业主都希望能将花园保留在Galvani House项目中。观赏老建筑的视线不能被阻塞,还要有建一个车库及门廊,建筑立面要采用的是巴黎盆地岩(卢浮宫就采用了这种建筑材料)。
业主希望Galvani House能容纳6个空间,分别以相应的活动及最初的要求命名:ntrance, cooking/eating/light, hosting/light, hosting/not being seen/light/garden, watching movies with friends, car.
利用三维设计,建筑师满足了业主的这些复杂要求。建筑师通过对建筑做延伸、弯曲等处理,实现了其与周围环境的共存,并与老建筑的门阶及新入口相连接。从街道上看,Galvani House好像隐形了,唯一能引起人们注意的是悬浮在花园上重大数千吨的砖石,以及被欧椴树贯通的两面玻璃墙。
The urban garden serves as the upper skin of the concrete surface, containing the kitchen, dining area and garage. These are well lit by two patios, piercing through the surface.
A prototype for the domestic elements showing their sculpted stand-alone character is to be found in the oversized chimneys for stairs, not touching the ground.
The textural contrasts, vivid colours, sensuous aesthetic and accentuation of the building’s garden pay hommage to Luis Barragàn’s work (1902-1988).
Everything seems designed to be forgotten, construction details sparkling in their abscence.
It feels as if it ’s drawn from human necessity, lacking attention seeking frivolity without purpose, suiting the urban fabric, silent but radiating intelligence, in line with the french rational tradition. A protection from urban city business, hiding underground, under a garden camouflage. Serenity in the disposition of materials, details, architectural elements and residential activities makes living in it an experience for the architectural mind.
By proper analysis, imagination deciphered the parisian urban code. It enacts a strange different logic, setting up a new but rational typology.
