Madrid studio ábaton has rebuilt a crumbling stone stable in the countryside of western Spain and converted the building into a self-sufficient family home. Madrid 工作室Abation 在西班牙西部的郊区重建了一个碎石马棚,把它变成了一个自给自足的家庭住宅。
Located miles away from the nearest town, the old building was too remote to be connected to an electrical grid or water supply, so ábaton had to make use of renewable energy sources. The orientation of the building helps to generate a solar heat gain, while two nearby streams provide hydro electricity, as well as clean water for drinking and bathing.
The stone and timber structure of the stable had significantly deteriorated, so the architects had to replace most of the walls. "[We] decided that building from scratch was the best option as the stable was in a terrible shape," they explain. 马棚的木石结构明显的坏掉了,因此建筑师不得不更换大部分的墙。我们达成共识,认为马棚的状态十分不佳,从头开始建筑才是最好的选择。
The rustic stone exterior of the house was restored on all four elevations. Windows sit within deep recesses and can be screened behind large wooden shutters that reference the style of stable doors. 房子外面的粗石材在四个立面上都得到了复原。窗户在(墙体)深深地凹陷处,他可以被大的木头百叶挡住,这些木头百叶参考了马棚大门的风格。
Many of the walls inside the house were removed and replaced with metal columns, opening up a large double-height living room along the entire length of the building. 屋子里的许多墙都被移除并换成了金属柱子,沿着建筑的通长方向,做成了一个巨大的双层高起居室。
Two bedrooms are positioned at the back, plus the old hay lofts were renovated to create an extra three upstairs. 两个卧室的位置在建筑后部,另有干草棚被整修成了附加的三层。
A swimming pool runs along the front of the building, doubling up as an irrigation tank, plus a small patio is tucked away at the back, where it is overlooked by bedrooms and bathrooms. 沿着建筑的前方修建了一个游泳池,它同时作为一个灌溉贮水池使用,另外建筑后面还塞入了一个小院子,从卧室和浴室可以俯看到它。
The architects added limestone floors throughout the house, plus exposed concrete walls and wooden ceilings. "In short, a mix of modern cement and iron beams coexist with well-worn stone, weather-beaten wood and local stone," add the architects. 建筑师在整个房子里加入了石灰岩的楼板,以及裸露的混凝土墙和木质天花板。“简而言之,一个现代水泥和铁梁的混合体和破旧的石头,饱经风霜木材以及当地石材一起共生。”建筑师补充说。
