*프라빗 하우스 [ RUFproject ] Gulf Islands Residence

시간과 장소와 그리고 사람을 연결한다.

뱅쿠버 서측 해안가에 위치한 고급단독주거의 시작은 지역적 문맥 -1950년대부터

시작된 건축 스타일-이 투영된 열린공간에서 시작된다.

지역 건축특성을 현대적 공간으로 재해석한 주거공간은

내외부가 밀착된 건축을 통하여 발현되는데, 이는

건축가가 이번 프로젝트에서 컨셉으로 지향하는

'캐나디안 오두막' 과 '모던 글래스 하우스'를

현대적인 감각으로 병합, 버무려 외부로 열린 통섭공간으로 구축하면서

구현된다.

이러한 건축은 우드 스트럭쳐가 자연스럽게 드러나는 포스트 앤 빔 구조와

확장된 글래스 월, 오픈 플로어 플랜, 플랫 루프, 그리고 자연그대로를 닮은

자연 목재의 사용으로 캐릭터를 구체화 한다.

이를 통해 건축주가 요구하는 바다의 아름다운 풍경을 조망 할 수 있는

자연 속에 주거가 완성된다.

A conscious decision was made to root the design of the house in the regional, west coast vernacular pioneered by architects such as Ron Thom and Arthur Erickson, beginning in the 1950s. The style is characterized by post-and beam-construction with exposed timber structural members, extensive glazing, open floor plans, interior-exterior links, wood finishes, flat roofs, orientation to views and a delicate balance with the natural setting. These elements were carefully integrated to define a new and innovative vision of regional architecture. The design of this private residence responds to the clients’ desire for a “modern log cabin” on a precious piece of oceanfront property.
They were torn between two ideals: on the one hand the rustic Canadian log cabin and on the other the modernist glass house. Through the use of expressive structure, expanses of glass, and a minimal material palette, the project took this challenge as its fundamental concept, striving to reconcile the rustic with the modern in form, materiality, and organization. The house has been designed in the form of a bridge, creating a minimal footprint and achieving a high level of environmental performance on the site, while allowing native grasses and flora to grow underneath.
Working with the topography, the house is defined in two parts—a solid stone base sunk into the land, referencing the existing rock outcrops on the site, and a light timber “bridge” resting on the stone. With a tranquil internal courtyard protected from the prevailing southeast winds, the strong horizontals of the heavy timbers reference the horizon, and transparency on the ocean side opens the full house to stunning panoramic views of the sea.
