澳大利亚工作室Dane Taylor Design设计完成了Butterfly住宅,这是一座位于新南威尔士州的沿海住宅,深受日本美学的影响。为了帮助患有多发性硬化症的屋主,这座位于奥斯汀的房子由一系列可访问和适应性强的空间组成。每一个都是用温暖的材料色调完成,并受到日本wabi-sabi哲学的启发,该哲学庆祝随着时间的流逝而到来的不完美和变化。
Australian studio Dane Taylor Design has completed Butterfly House, an accessible coastal home in New South Wales that is informed by Japanese aesthetics.Designed to support its owner who lives with multiple sclerosis, the house in Austinmer comprises a series of accessible and adaptable spaces.Each one is finished with a warm material palette and is informed by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which celebrates imperfections and changes that come with the passage of time.
Butterfly House is spread across two rectangular volumes topped with sloping roofs, after which the home is named. These volumes are connected by a hallway and a covered terrace that wraps around the edges of the dwelling.In addition to the wabi-sabi philosophy, the project also draws on Japanese design and mid-century modernism.Butterfly House is accessed by a brick-paved path sheltered by a red overhang. A door made from recycled hardwood sits between the two blocks and leads to the hallway. The hallway is topped with generous skylights and offers access to all rooms of the house, including two ground-floor bedrooms, a garage and a bathroom.There is also a timber staircase that leads to an upstairs guest suite.
An open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space at the end of the hallway features a rammed-earth chimney breast and Australian hardwood flooring.Sliding doors and large windows with frames made from recycled timber help connect the living space to the garden outside.Wide wooden decks sheltered by timber overhangs wrap around the perimeter of Butterfly House, accessed from additional sliding doors in the bedrooms and other ground floor spaces.
