J. JIH--波士顿Hairpin住宅

Hairpin House 将Hairpin山路的起伏作为19世纪家庭内部的组织和空间装置。 这座排屋位于以前的工人阶级社区内，内部宽度只有15英尺，排屋的特点是杠铃式的设计，内部三分之一的空间完全被垂直循环所占据，导致所有房间的大小都是一样的。为了克服这种程序上的限制，楼梯被重新设想为一个可塑的地形，在不同尺寸的新优化的程序堆上展开和垂下。


Hairpin House looks to the undulations of a hairpin turning mountain road as organizational and spatial device within a constrained 19th century domestic interior.Situated within a formerly working class neighborhood and measuring only fifteen feet in interior width, the rowhouse was characterized by a barbell plan with the interior third occupied entirely with vertical circulation, leading to a condition of all rooms being identically sized. In order to overcome this programmatic constraint, the stair was reconceived as a malleable topography, unspooled and draped across a newly optimized programmatic stack of varying dimensions.




















当Hairpin式楼梯斜斜地穿过四层楼的排屋时，它开辟了一个40英尺的中庭，在这个中庭里，这个不守规矩的元素不断地重新配置自己，从直的踏板到绕线，从实心的栏杆到开放的栏杆，然后又重新配置，在一个高度受限的场地里产生了一个雕塑般的形象和眩目的空间。


As the hairpin stair cascades obliquely through the four-story rowhouse, it carves out a connective forty foot atrium within which this misbehaving element continuously reconfigures itself – from straight treads to winders, from solid to open balusters and back again – producing a sculptural figure and vertiginous space within a highly constrained site.
