* 리니어 하우스 [ patkau architects ] linear house

자연을 가득 안다.

시원하게 직선으로 뻗은 경쾌함보다
플렉시블한 오픈플래닝 평면보다
더 중요한 것은 자연과 얼마만큼 더 조우 될 수 있도록
계획하는 것이다.
건축주의 프로그램이 반영된 모듈은 리니어한 형태로
흐르면서 외부자연환경과 리드믹컬하게 만난다.
긴 방향성을 따라 형성된 공간은 때로는
콘크리트 메스로 막힌 솔리드 공간을 만나고
때로는 무빙월을 만나 오픈공간으로 열리면서
다양한 공간감을 연출한다.
더이상 공간은 내부에 있지 않고
외부로 확장되어 커다란 단일공간을
이룬다.
처음부터 하나의 공간이였던 것처럼...

또한 외장재로 사용된 목탄컬러의 파이버 시멘트 판넬은
초록의 나뭇잎, 식물들과 묘한 조화를
보이는데 이것은 마치 커다란 고목이 옆으로
누워 있는 숲속의 한 풍경을 보고 있는 듯하다.

자연을 가득 안은 형태가
정직하고 심플하다.

located on a sixteen acre farm on salt spring island, british columbia is 'linear house', a single family home
by canadian practice patkau architects. looking to maximize the exposure to the desirable weather and natural
landscape, the design features a series of porous and modular spaces that can be adapted to suit the needs of
the inhabitant.

bold and linear, the home both confronts and contrasts the diversity and textures of the secluded tree filled
environment in which its exists. expressed as a single and continuous form, the main body of the dwelling
extends 276 feet in length, opposing a row of mature fir trees and a body of water in the distance.

a retractable exterior wall exposes the interior volumes, fully integrating indoor and outdoor spaces.
filling the home with natural light and air, the flexible and adaptable panels instantly transform the home into
an open air pavilion. on the opposite side of the structure, a covered walkway spans the unit, sliding past the
existing trees, edging an adjacent fruit orchard.

 

inside, a series of open and expansive rooms are subdivided and defined by the insertion of concrete masses
and wood cabinets. simple and organic, the pieces look to camouflage themselves with the outdoors, providing
a visually unobstructed flow between both environments. a collection of skylights - over forty in total - pierce
through the roof of the structure, further intersecting the home with its surroundings.

 

the exterior surface, clad in charcoal colored fiber-cement panels, is submissive to the encircling environment,
rendering itself almost invisible when seen against the dark green foliage.
