ALEEYA DESIGN STUDIO--巴基斯坦建筑师之家

ALEEYA设计工作室已经完成了The Architect’s Home。The Architect’s Home位于Karachi的一个高档社区，坐落在西南方向2000平方米的土地上，宽116英尺-6英寸，深149英尺-9英寸。在Karachi这样的城市，文化规范和传统价值观在某种程度上决定了住宅的设计，但在这个案例中，建筑师渴望为她的家乡引入一种新的美学。


ALEEYA. The design studio has completed The Architect’s Home. Located in an upscale neighborhood of Karachi, The Architect’s Home is situated on a southwest facing 2,000 square yards lot measuring 116’-6”wide by 149’-9” deep. In a city like Karachi, cultural norms and traditional values somewhat dictate the design of homes, but in this case, the architect was keen to introduce a new aesthetic to her hometown.





与街道上其他房屋的设计不同，该建筑的外墙由倾斜突出的块状物组成，上面铺有法国乳白色石灰石，中间嵌入了7英尺-0英寸宽，8英尺-0英寸高的窗户，创造了一个沉重的外部结构。这为街道提供了一定程度的隐私，并巧妙地隐藏了边界墙和正门内95英尺长的车道。这个想法是，在一个与瑞士外墙相呼应的混凝土结构后面，屏蔽一个大型、宽敞、充满光线的生活空间。


Unlike the design of other houses on the street, the facade consists of slanting protruding masses cladded with French crema limestone with 7’-0” wide by 8’-0” high windows embedded in between, creating a heavy exterior structure. This provides a level of privacy from the street and aptly conceals a 95-foot-long driveway inside the boundary wall and main gate. The idea was to screen a large, spacious, and light-filled space of living behind an all-imposing concrete structure echoing a Swiss facade.





住宅提供了两个入口，其中一个体验到独特的氛围，即平静无声的泳池天井通过一个大型玻璃转轴门让路；另一个是宽16英寸、深16英寸的双高入口门厅。在9英尺厚的桃花心木双门后面宽16英寸、长28英寸的天窗下，从日出到日落，不断变换的光线充斥在房子的中心。所有窗户开口的精心布置，使Karachi的温暖阳光穿过房屋，直接照射到结构元素和内部的柔软材料上。


Providing two entrances to the home, one experiences distinct atmospheres - the calm, silent pool patio giving way through a large glass pivot door; the other a 16’-0” wide by 16’-0” deep double height entrance foyer under a 16’-0” wide by 28’-0” long skylight behind a heavy 9-foot mahogany wood double door, which immediately floods the center of the house with ever-transforming light from sunrise to sunset. The careful placement of all window openings invites the warm Karachi sun to strike through the house directly hitting structural elements and the soft materials within.





一个常见的误解是，复杂的边缘和独特的曲线赋予结构生命。自然和光线可以解开感情，创造出唤醒我们感官的氛围。通过最简单的形式，可以产生最美丽的体验。这座房子的结构设计考虑到了这一思想，有意设置了大的流通空间，在整个房子里创造了一个有意义的流动，从而启动了内部的运动。The Architect’s Home揭示了建筑师的灵魂，创造了一个随着季节变化而不断进化的空间。


It is a common misconception that complex edges and unique curves give structures life. Nature and light can unravel feelings and create atmospheres that awaken our senses. Through the simplest form, the most beautiful experience can emerge.The structure of this house was designed with this thought in mind, with the intentionally large circulation spaces that create a meaningful flow throughout the house, which initiates movement within. The Architect’s Home reveals the soul of the Architect, creating a space that is in constant evolution as the seasons change.
