DAVIS ARCHITECTS--拜伦湾Terra Casa 住宅

坐落于拜伦湾的一栋现代住宅Terra Casa，由Davis Architects和Sally McMillan设计完成。该项目的内部和外部清晰的联系在一起，将住宅置于周围的景观之中，同时也成为了一种户外生活的表达。Davis Architects对材料、细节和形式的整合和考虑贯穿了整个场地。被动式室内外气流以及地面上的石板限制了对空调或暖气的需求，使房屋冬暖夏凉。


Terra Casa, a contemporary house in Byron Bay, was designed by Davis Architects and Sally McMillan. The interior and exterior of the project are clearly linked, placing the home within the surrounding landscape and also becoming an expression of outdoor living.Davis Architects' integration and consideration of materials, details, and forms is evident throughout the site.Passive indoor and outdoor airflow and slate on the floor limit the need for air conditioning or heating, keeping the house warm in winter and cool in summer.





这是Davis Architects与客户共同完成的第二个项目，他们从一开始就建立了牢固的理解和工作关系。北朝向住宅的正面，业主希望优化自然光和太阳能热量的获得，同时创造一个开放和隐居的生活区，延伸到景观中。室内将木材和石头等自然元素融合在一起，通过点缀外部形式创造出轻盈的氛围，与周围环境形成清晰的联系。


This is the second project Davis Architects has worked on with the client and they have developed a strong understanding and working relationship from the beginning. With a north-facing residential frontage, the owners wanted to optimize access to natural light and solar heat, while creating an open and secluded living area that extends into the landscape. The interior incorporates natural elements such as wood and stone to create a light atmosphere by punctuating the exterior forms and creating a clear connection to the surroundings.





由于Terra Casa背靠一个私人保护区，因此，在设计过程中，Davis Architects的首要重点是利用这一特点，通过借用远处的景观，在视觉上扩展户外生活区和总体空间感。同时在户外娱乐区上方创造了一个双层高度的空间，从而使阳光能够深入到内部和外部生活区。Davis Architects在设计的核心部分加入了一个大的空隙，将冬日阳光引向了地板和厨房的深处。


Since Terra Casa backs up to a private conservation area, Davis Architects' primary focus during the design process was to take advantage of this feature by visually extending the outdoor living areas and overall sense of space by borrowing from the distant landscape. A double-height space was also created above the outdoor entertaining area, thereby allowing sunlight to penetrate deep into the interior and exterior living areas.Davis Architects incorporated a large void at the heart of the design, directing the winter sun deep into the floor and kitchen.





作为一个向景观开放的住宅，嵌入可持续发展原则是关键。虽然每一种材料都是根据其能源足迹和低体现能源来选择的，但住宅的主要结构元素是由麻混凝土构成的。由于喜欢麻、石灰和水的组合材料的质地和表面处理，业主选择在入口处的墙壁上不涂抹灰泥，以庆祝创新。


As a residence open to the landscape, embedding sustainability principles is key. While each material was chosen for its energy footprint and low embodied energy, the primary structural element of the home is composed of hempcrete. Preferring the texture and finish of the combined materials of hemp, lime and water, the owners chose to celebrate innovation by leaving the entryway walls unpainted with stucco.
