在天津,一個兼具雕塑般的克制美感與溫馨舒適的家

Diverse Studio 在天津將普羅旺斯別墅轉化為雕塑般的極簡住宅

天津這座改造別墅 在保留普羅旺斯式外觀的同時,透過克制的極簡語言重新梳理空間比例與光線,使住宅轉化為一場關於 材料敘事 的安靜實驗。 位於中國天津綠樹成蔭的街區,一棟普羅旺斯風格的別墅經由Diverse Studio的重新設計,搖身一變成為寧靜祥和的現代極簡主義居所。這次翻新並非追求形式上的革新,而是透過材料與觸感重新定義居住經驗,使建築本身成為日常生活的敘事載體。最初,這棟別墅是為一位熱愛汽車的企業家及其多代同堂的家庭進行翻新改造,最終演變成業主與設計師長達兩年的合作,最終打造出一個兼具雕塑般的克制美感與溫馨舒適的家。 天津一棟翻新別墅,古典韻味與雕塑般的極簡主義完美融合。別墅內部進行了徹底改造,以滿足家庭的需求,但設計師保留了其外觀的古樸魅力——例如赤陶瓦屋頂、拱形窗戶和童話般的塔樓——並以一種靜謐的方式與之對話。最引人注目的改動出現在別墅正面:波浪形的頂棚如同懸浮的絲帶般懸於車道上方,其流暢的造型既呼應了主人對汽車的熱愛,又像徵著住宅的全新面貌。頂棚旁是一個極簡的白色盒子,內設車庫;別墅後方,一座獨立的、宛如太空艙般的涼亭,則成為主人父親的湖畔休憩之所。這些新增部分既不喧賓奪主,也不遮蔽原有風貌,而是讓新舊建築語彙在同一場 材料敘事 中取得平衡。       室內則呈現出截然不同的景象。曾經繁複的裝飾風格如今已轉變為簡約精緻的極簡主義空間,流暢的線條、質感豐富的表面和單色調的運用,共同營造出優雅的氛圍。為了呼應屋主對汽車的熱愛,設計師從汽車空氣動力學中汲取靈感,使每一面牆、每個天花板、每一件內置家具都擁有連貫統一的造型。蜿蜒的隔間、圓潤的邊角和弧形的艙壁模糊了房間之間的界限,營造出動態與流動性,而拱形開口與雕塑般的家具則強化了整體空間的節奏。 整體色調刻意克制,卻不失觸感。微水泥表面賦予空間柔和的歲月痕跡,同時又足夠堅固,能夠承受孩子們天馬行空的玩耍。一層鋪設的大尺寸石板流暢地延伸至地面,其細微的紋理與透過大面積玻璃窗灑入室內的光線交相輝映。二層私人空間則鋪設木地板,增添溫暖氣息,而同樣採用微水泥塗層的衣櫃則確保了視覺上的連貫性。在光滑拋光的表面映襯下,幾根裸露的混凝土樑柱格外醒目,進一步豐富了空間的觸感。 Material is explored in a comparable way in this project
