景观引入室内：Trefoil Glass House

在佛蒙特州斯托，位于一个乡村斜坡上，Trefoil住宅继承了原有的三面壁炉和部分地基。房子经过重新设计，采用了壁炉作为设计的主要出发点：房子的核心是三角形，一角有三个方块连接在一起。作为中央项目的驱动，三面壁炉在每一个方块的周围形成了连续的三叶环，并提供了一个中心的方向，同时住宅也可以延伸到景观。公用空间由玻璃封闭，而私人空间则由雕花百叶隔开，以区别旋转对称的平面。一百五十英尺长的幕墙连续不断地围在房子的四周。三条流线为原址提供了不相互干扰的感知体验，但关键的是，它还允许了一条完全由轮椅进入的上层通道，以适应客户年老的父母和“在家养老”的想法。

The Trefoil House inherited a pre-existing three-sided hearth and partial foundation, located on a rural sloped site in Stowe, Vermont. The house was reimagined using the hearth as a structural and narrative generator: The house is built out from its triangular core as three squares joined at the corners. The three-sided hearth is used as a central program driver, producing a continuous trefoil circulation loop around the perimeter of each square and providing a central point of orientation while allowing for the house to spread into the landscape. Public spaces are enclosed in glass, while private spaces are shielded with sculpted louvers to differentiate the rotationally symmetric plan. A 150 foot long curtain wall wraps continuously around six sides of the house. The trefoil circulation allows for an unbroken perceptual experience of the pristine site, but critically also allows for an entirely wheelchair accessible upper level in order to accommodate the client elderly parents and an aging-in-place philosophy.

在所有的设计决策中，是由两个主要因素推动设计的。第一，我们希望能把景观带到室内。为实现这一目标，我们借鉴了詹姆斯•特雷尔（James Turrell）的天际空间（skyspaces）方法，通过将框架边缘完全缩小，将方形天空呈现为一幅平面图像。可以看到的所有入口，窗台，并将区别室内外通道的入口都被取消。

Two parallel driving forces propelled all design decisions. First, the desire to perceptually bring the incredible view into the interior. To accomplish this, we borrowed from the method of James Turrell skyspaces in which a square of open sky appears as a flattened image through the total reduction of the frame edge. All visible thresholds, sills, and headers to distinguish the passage from interior to exterior are eliminated.

第二，二层空间内要完全实现无障碍流线。顾客和他的父母都从事老年保健行业，非常熟悉老年人的建筑需求。为使轮椅不受干扰，门槛、窗台和柚木淋浴板齐平，整个三叶形环行路线无障碍，宽阔、清晰。

Second, the need for complete accessibility on the upper level. The client and his parents work in the geriatric healthcare industry and are intimately acquainted with the architectural needs of the elderly. To allow for uninterrupted wheelchair access, thresholds, sills, and teak shower pans are flush, and the entire trefoil circulation path is accessible, broad, and clearly defined.

这一感性认识与实际需要的有效结合，使设计决策从细节的尺度到建筑构件的尺度，都能同时满足两个要求。

This productive convergence of perceptual and pragmatic needs allowed for design decisions from the scale of the detail to the scale of the building parti to satisfy both drives at once.

为了将建筑成本控制在200美元/平方英尺，我们选择了一套高性价比的常用于商业店面的建造系统，为了抵抗零下30度的冬季温度，我们还搭配了浇筑混凝土辐射楼板和镀膜隔热玻璃。室内材料的选择仅限于雪松，抛光的黑色混凝土，黄铜和胡桃木。

To keep construction costs at $200 a square foot, a cost effective commercial storefront system was selected. To resist -30 degree winter temperatures, a poured concrete radiant floor slab and coated insulated glass were paired. The interior material palette is limited to cedar, polished black concrete, brass, and walnut.
