项目 - 坐落在伦敦水晶宫郊区的绿树成荫之地,六柱住宅由31/44 Architects所精心打造,成为挑战传统住宅建筑的建筑设计杰作。荣获2024年英国皇家建筑师协会年度最佳住宅,这座为建筑师事务所创始人精心定制的家,是建筑智慧的见证,巧妙融合了个人叙事、场地呼应与前瞻性可持续设计。
由事务所创始人威尔·伯格斯为自己的家庭设计,这座住宅彻底颠覆了静态住宅设计的刻板印象。选址于一块此前未开发的边角花园,建筑以非凡的优雅姿态穿梭于复杂的场地约束中——甚至精心保护了一棵受保护的梧桐树。其创新的体量在梯形场地上扭转、跳跃,创造出一个动态的建筑形态,既尊重周边环境,又服务于更广阔的城市肌理。
项目的设计理念堪称革命性:将住宅视为一个"未完成"的有机体,能够随居住者的生活需求而不断演变。这一理念通过精心选择的材料和空间布局得到充分体现。裸露的木材、未上漆的松木细木工和野性的水泥板、喷漆砖块共同营造出一个原始而灵活的内部空间景观,摒弃了传统的装饰处理。
可持续性深深嵌入项目的基因。全电力驱动,依靠空气源热泵供能,该住宅每年仅产生1.78吨二氧化碳排放,是相对于传统住宅的极大进步。在结构创新上,通过避免混凝土桩基础,改用钢螺旋桩,建筑师们进一步彰显了他们对减少环境影响的坚持。
以六根标志性立柱为特征,融汇战后加州案例研究住宅与勒·柯布西耶早期现代主义的折衷风格,六柱住宅已不仅仅是一处庇护所,更成为当代建筑可能性的生动宣言。
团队 – 在当代建筑实践的动态景观中,31/44建筑事务所作为语境创新设计的典范,正在挑战城市建筑干预的传统边界。由威尔·伯格斯和斯蒂芬·戴维斯于2010年创立的这家位于伦敦的事务所,以其细致入微的方法而闻名,这种方法精确地将新的建筑干预融入现有的城市肌理。
怀着对场所营造的哲学承诺,31/44超越了单纯的建筑设计,精心编织能够深入共鸣历史、文化和空间语境的建筑叙事。他们的作品展现了对建筑形态学的复杂理解,每一个项目都成为对周边环境深思熟虑的贡献。
该事务所获得的国际认可——包括诸如英国皇家建筑师协会国家奖等荣誉——凸显了他们的设计卓越性。他们的作品在从伦敦到柏林的欧洲文化之都中备受赞誉,反映出一种兼具本地敏感性和全球影响力的设计语言。
由具有多元学术和专业背景的注册建筑师组成的跨学科团队领导,31/44以超越物理构建的智性严谨运作。通过在金斯顿艺术学院的教学工作室,他们确保理论探索与实践建筑实施之间保持持续对话。
最近荣获2024年英国皇家建筑师协会年度最佳住宅的六柱住宅,完美诠释了他们的设计理念——证明了他们将限制转化为建筑机遇的能力,创造出既具创新性、又可持续,同时深刻契合语境的空间。

Project - Nestled in the leafy suburbs of Crystal Palace, London, the Six Columns House by 31/44 Architects emerges as a masterclass in adaptive, thoughtful design that challenges conventional residential architecture. Named RIBA House of the Year 2024, this bespoke family home is a testament to architectural ingenuity, seamlessly blending personal narrative, contextual sensitivity, and forward-thinking sustainability.
Conceived by practice founder Will Burges for his own family, the house is a deliberate departure from static residential design. Situated on a previously undeveloped side garden, the structure navigates complex site constraints—including a protected sycamore tree—with remarkable grace. Its innovative form twists and steps across a trapezoidal plot, creating a dynamic architectural volume that respects both its immediate context and broader urban fabric.
The project's design philosophy is revolutionary: a home conceived as an "unfinished" entity, capable of evolving with its inhabitants' changing needs. This approach is manifest in the carefully considered materiality and spatial arrangement. Exposed timber, unpainted pine joinery, and a brutalist palette of spruce paneling and painted brick create a raw, adaptable interior landscape that eschews traditional finish treatments.
Sustainability is deeply embedded in the project's DNA. Fully electric and powered by an air-source heat pump, the house produces just 1.78 tonnes of CO2 annually—a fraction of a standard home's carbon footprint. Structural innovations, such as avoiding concrete-piled foundations and using steel screw piles, further demonstrate the architects' commitment to minimizing environmental impact.
With its six defining columns and eclectic architectural references—from post-war California Case Study Houses to Le Corbusier's early modern joinery—the Six Columns House transcends mere shelter, becoming a living manifesto of contemporary architectural possibility.
Design Team - In the dynamic landscape of contemporary architectural practice, 31/44 Architects emerges as a paradigm of contextual and innovative design, challenging conventional boundaries of urban architectural intervention. Founded in 2010 by Will Burges and Stephen Davies, the London-based practice has distinguished itself through a nuanced approach that meticulously integrates new architectural interventions within existing urban fabrics.
With a philosophical commitment to place-making, 31/44 transcends mere building design, crafting architectural narratives that deeply resonate with historical, cultural, and spatial contexts. Their portfolio demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of architectural morphology, where each project becomes a deliberate, considerate contribution to its surrounding environment.
The practice's international recognition—including prestigious accolades such as the Manser Medal and RIBA National Awards—underscores their design excellence. Their work has been celebrated across major European cultural capitals, from London to Berlin, reflecting a design language that is both locally sensitive and globally compelling.
Led by a multidisciplinary team of chartered architects with diverse academic and professional backgrounds, 31/44 operates with an intellectual rigor that extends beyond physical construction. Their engagement with academic institutions, particularly through teaching studios at Kingston School of Art, ensures a continuous dialogue between theoretical exploration and practical architectural implementation.
The Six Columns House, recently crowned RIBA House of the Year 2024, epitomizes their design philosophy—a testament to their ability to transform constraints into architectural opportunities, creating spaces that are simultaneously innovative, sustainable, and profoundly contextual.
