南华克砖宅，伦敦/旧车库上的新房子-卓美

Satish Jassal对砖的着迷早在这位伦敦建筑师职业生涯初期就已显现，例如哈林盖砖宅中砖和木构成的舒适质感。如今，Jassal及其团队利用这种历史悠久的材料继续进行探索，推出他们的最新住宅项目，即南华克砖宅——利用砖材的现代化设计。

Satish Jassal’s fascination with brickwork became apparent early in the London architect’s career, as seen at his Haringey Brick House, and its soothingly tactile forms made of brick and timber. Now, Jassal and his team have followed up on their explorations with the time-honoured material, unveiling their latest residential project, a modern design that is an exercise in brickwork – Southwark Brick House in London.

哈林盖项目小而完美，它的南华克版本则使人感觉更加开阔。实际上，南华克砖宅也处理了类似的问题，涉及城市混杂地块中的体量、景观和光线，这要求房屋下沉一层，从而平衡隐私和更多内部空间。砖的工艺和设计同样重要，本案中应用的是West Hoathly Sharpthorne红砖。

While the Haringey project was small but perfectly formed, its Southwark incarnation feels more expansive. However, it tackles similar issues, touching upon massing, views and light in an awkward urban plot (which dictated the house be sunken one level into the ground to balance privacy and more internal space). Craft and designing with brick – in this case, red West Hoathly Sharpthorne brick – were equally critical.

与此同时，设计团队还充分地利用了基地环境，使砖宅在英国首都的南华克有种不受约束的感觉。Satish Jassal说：“空白山形墙、平檐屋顶和竖直橡木窗等本土元素均融入立面。”

At the same time, the team drew significantly on the site’s build context to make the structure feel at home in its pocket of the UK capital. ‘Elements of the local building vernacular, such as blank gables, flat-edged roofs and vertical oak windows are incorporated into the façades,’ says the architect.

该项目位于伦敦南部索伯恩广场保护区，是一座新建的三居室住宅。它涵盖地上两层和地下一层，将位于主入口旁的两翼组织起来。黑色金属楼梯位于平面中心，是房屋的焦点和交通核。室内共126㎡，包括：地面层的宽敞厨房和餐厅；上层的主要生活空间，这里设有优雅的木格天花和大面积橡木窗，与砖墙质感相呼应；以及底层的卧室，在这里，安静和隐私得到保障，同时空间还向前花园延伸。

The project is a new-build, three-bedroom home sitting in the south London borough’s Thorburn Square conservation area. Spanning two floors above ground and a basement, it is organised across two brick wings, which flank the main entrance. A staircase made of black metal sits at the heart of the plan, acting as a focal point as well as the central circulation core for the whole house. The interior spans 126 sq m, encompassing: a generous kitchen and dining area on the ground level; the house’s main living space, on the top floor, featuring an elegant coffered timber ceiling and large oak bay windows that complement the textured quality of the brick walls; and bedrooms on the lower-ground level, where peace and privacy are ensured, while the spaces can also spill out onto a paved garden courtyard at the front.
