這棟510 房屋是位于密爾沃基北岸一個戰(zhàn)后郊區(qū)的私人住宅,坐落于場地平緩傾斜區(qū)域中,高大的樹木和茂密的灌木叢包圍著房子。房主是一對工作繁忙的職業(yè)夫婦,他們希望房子能夠滿足他們對隱私和寧靜的期望,同時又能經(jīng)常舉辦社交活動。為此,我們把這個房子設(shè)計成兩個相互關(guān)聯(lián)的建筑,“T”形結(jié)構(gòu)將場地分為兩部分,前部供客人和車輛使用的“公共”場地,后部綠地為私人區(qū)域。停車場、服務(wù)功能區(qū)和主臥室套房被整合在一個長長的單層長廊內(nèi),這是一個狹長的,木質(zhì)包裹的空間,沿著西部邊緣橫跨在房子兩側(cè)??腿撕蛫蕵穲龅匚挥谝粋€互補的、垂直空間內(nèi),它是一個連續(xù)的混凝土塊帶狀物,與木質(zhì)包覆的長廊接合,與下降的地形相協(xié)調(diào),最終折疊起來形成一個高架的觀測臺,可以俯瞰周圍的樹木和不遠處密歇根湖岸邊的景色。
深凹的入口前廳,是兩個相互關(guān)聯(lián)的建筑的交匯點,是連接私人和公共區(qū)域的通道,并通向相鄰的開放式起居室——這是房屋的社交中心,主任和客人可以在這里一起做飯、用餐和休息——所有這些都在一個寬敞的空間中,墻壁是精心裝飾過的綠色。510 納米光譜波長的綠色與該房屋同名,作為一種建筑裝置,一年四季為室內(nèi)注入夏季青翠但曇花一現(xiàn)的綠色植物——一種特意的對自然色彩活力抽象的回應(yīng),尤其是在漫長的冬季,透過房子的孔徑,可以看到陰郁的景色映入威斯康星州冰封的景觀中,這種色彩活力尤為強烈。隨著季節(jié)的交替,在北方的冬天,白雪覆蓋大地,墻壁不變的生機勃勃的色彩逐漸反襯出外面不斷變化的環(huán)境,是時間流逝的靜謐紀念品和大自然四季交替充滿希望的提醒。綠色的周邊墻壁將內(nèi)部色調(diào)延伸到外部,顯示出起居室作為建筑界鋼琴貴族的驕傲體量——一個獨特而清晰的建筑元素懸掛在主體建筑的折疊混凝土帶中,突出了住宅的主要活動中心。
一個開放式的,線性廚房沿著起居室的一側(cè)延伸。備餐間墻壁變成了一個連續(xù)的木質(zhì)天花板襯壁,從空間上界定了用餐區(qū)和休息區(qū),并在相反的一端折疊下來,以容納內(nèi)置的媒體柜。配套的小休息區(qū)面向島式廚房,后面是高高的玻璃幕墻,環(huán)抱著精致的鋼制樓梯。樓梯通向觀景臺,觀景臺通向一個廣闊的植物屋頂,樓下是一間小型的客人休息室和臥室套房,房間外是一個帶有火坑的下沉式露臺。
外部材料面板來自不同地區(qū)——威斯康星州北部的漂白粉和伊利諾斯州的24 英寸長的白色混凝土砌體單元,輔以綠色的纖維混凝土墻板。室內(nèi),綠色的墻面鑲板以及整個房子里精心策劃的藝術(shù)品,為刻意中性的室內(nèi)背景——白墻、灰色的混凝土瓷磚和漂白的白橡木——增添了一些色彩。
The 510 House is a private residence located in a postwar suburb on Milwaukee’s north shore, its volume carefully embedded in the site’s gently sloping contours and cradled by the mature trees and thick underbrushlining the property’s edges.The owners, a professional couple with busy work schedules, asked for a house that would accommodate their conflicting desires for privacy and serenity on one hand, and for thefrequent hosting of social events on the other.
In response, the program of the house was organized as two interlocking building forms, their “T”configuration bifurcating the site into a “public” entry court for visitors and vehicles, and a private, visually shielded greenspace in the back. Parking, service functions, and the main bedroom suite are consolidated in a long, single-story bar, a narrow, wood-clad volume that straddles the two sides of the property along its western edge.Spaces for guests and entertainment are housed in a complementary, perpendicular volume defined by a continuous concrete block ribbon that engages the wood-clad bar, negotiates the dropping topography of the site, and ultimately folds up to form an elevated observatory with views of the surrounding tree tops and the shores of Lake Michigan in the near distance.
The deeply recessed entryvestibule, marking the junction of the twointerlocking building forms,provides access to both private and public quarters and leads into the adjacent open living hall – the social epicenter of the home where the owners and their guests can cook, dine, and lounge together, all in a commodious space defined by a series of carefully variegated, green-hued perimeter walls.The color green, whose spectral wavelength of 510 nanometers became the project’s namesake, serves as an architectural device to infuse the interior year-round with the lush tones of summer’s verdant but shortlived greenery surrounding the site – an abstract and deliberately cheerful echo of nature’s chromatic vibrancy, particularly potent during those long, protracted winter months when the actual apertures of the house frame somber views into Wisconsin’s frozen landscape. As the seasons turn and the northern winter begins to bleach the surroundings, the walls’ immutably vibrant chroma progressively contrasts the changing conditions outside, serving as a quiet memento of the passing of time and a hopeful reminder of nature’s impending renewal. The green perimeter walls extend their interior hues to the exterior, where they express the volume of the living hall as the building’s proud piano nobile – a distinct and intelligible architectural element suspended within the folding concrete ribbon of the main building mass to formally emphasize the primary activity hub of the house.
An open, linear kitchen runs along one side of the living hall. The pantry wall transforms into a continuous wooden ceiling linerthat spatially defines the dining and lounging area and foldsdown at the opposite endto accommodate the built-in media cabinet. A complimentary small sitting area faces the kitchen island and is backed by tall sheets of glass that enclose the delicate steel stairs beyond. The stairs lead upto the observatory, which provides access to an expansive vegetated roof, and down to a small guest lounge and bedroom suite, whichspills out to an intimate sunken terrace with a fire pit.
The exterior material palette was regionally sourced – bleached and whitewashed cedar from northern Wisconsin and 24” long white concrete masonry units from Illinois, complemented by fiber concrete wall panels in shades of green. On the inside, the green wall panels, along with the carefully curated artwork throughout the house, add splashes of color to the deliberately neutral interior backdrop of white walls,grey concrete tiles, and bleached white oak.
