巴尔斯塔尔住宅House in Balsthal

这是位于瑞士巴尔斯塔尔郊外的一座木屋住宅，它以独特而朴实的建筑形式存在并感知着周边的野外自然美景。住宅分为两个主要楼层：底层向地下凿深0.75米，二层层高1.5米，结构简约而稳固。底层没有任何隔间，是一间带平面天花板的大型家庭休闲室，四周是与地平线持平的透明玻璃窗，屋外的景致一览无余。二层的空间布局则与底层恰恰相反，分隔为四个大小相等的独立空间，并带有高达6米的坡式屋顶，屋顶的结构限定着空间的格局。二层的两面住宅侧面外墙设有两扇巨型的落地式透明玻璃窗，与底层玻璃窗形式保持一致，在屋内便可望见一望无际的广袤麦田。底层的视野更加开阔，置身室内，仿佛与屋外的自然世界零距离，而二层则不同，二层的视野中，更多蕴含的是对大自然一种观赏、一种带着客观感知的观察。

This timber house is about different ways of perceiving the landscape surrounding it. There are two principal floors; one set 750mm below the earth, one 1500mm above. The ground floor consists of one single family room with a noticeably low horizontal ceiling. In this space there is a physical connection with the nature outside the continuous windows. The space above is the inverse. This floor is divided into four equal rooms with 6m high ceilings. The height defines the space. Large windows open to composed views of the wheat field. Whereas the ground floor is about connecting with the visceral nature of the context, the floor above is about observing nature - a more distant and cerebral activity.
