*뉴욕의 폭 좁은 부지 내 주택 리노베이션-[ Maziar Behrooz Architecture ] House in the Lanes

뉴욕 메인 스트리트에서 인접해 있지만 멀리 바다가 보이는 곳에 위치한 이번 '차선들 lanes'라는 프로젝트는 동서 방향으로 길게 뻗은 매우 좁고 긴 부지를 차지하고 있다. 내부와 외부의 유지보수가 필요없던 구조물에 건축주의 소망을 수용할 수 있는 주택을 만들기 위해 집은 거리가 아닌 남향으로 짓기로 하였고 이는 좁은 주택면을 스트리트뷰에서 노출시켜 집과 이웃간의 거리를 편안하게 유지하고 남쪽의 직접적인 빛에 노출시키도록 하였다.

The ‘lanes’ in Amagansett, New York, offer a nearly idyllic village life: adjacent to Main street, walking distance to ocean, but far enough to feel protected from it, walkable and dotted with a diverse range of houses and styles.

Our challenge with this exceptionally long and narrow lot, with its long axis in east-west direction, was to create a home that would accommodate the owners wish for a maintenance-free structure, inside and outside, that would be a compelling fit in this historic neighborhood.

In a departure from recent additions to the neighborhood, where houses extend from one side-yard setback to the other, we opted to let the house face the south (rather than the street). By doing so, we were able to expose the narrower side of the house to the street view, and allow the house to have a comfortable distance to its southerly and northerly neighbors and be exposed to direct southern light.

Amagansett houses are congenial and often the facades that face the street are in dialogue with it. In this case, the conversation starts with a gable-end raw concrete wall; its profile echoing the familiar shape of a barn; it hides the garage which is entered from the north, and scales the front face of the house down to meet neighboring homes. Quickly, the concrete gives way to a slightly charred cypress; starting a play between these two materials that extends throughout the house — contrasting spaces of recluse (clad with charred cypress) with foundational anchoring walls (raw concrete). While the raw, unfinished, concrete extends from the foundation reaching upward, cypress-clad walls create soft volumes that wrap around, making for living spaces, bedrooms and hallways.

The ground level of the house is dedicated to living spaces (living room, dining room, kitchen) and offers a bedroom for guests. In the living room, a raw steel box is inserted into the concrete wall providing an easily accessible area for our clients collection of rare and vintage vinyl records (which can be played on the turn-table in the adjacent vestibule). The connection with the outdoors, size of windows and overhangs,  is carefully managed to both address the clients’ wish for a ‘womb-like’, cozy interior, as well as the filtering of natural light.

The second floor holds the parents bedroom, at the far end, which is separated from the children’s bedrooms with a second floor porch and roof ‘cut-out’. The porch is entered through a south-facing sliding glass door that, together with the north-facing ribbon window, allow natural light to penetrate the house from above and get reflected and drawn into the heart of the house via the concrete stair-wall.
