设计特色:
项目 – 坐落于加拿大多伦多如画风景中的" Dove 住宅",由本地设计团队AGATHOM设计,重新定义了现代住宅的概念,将建筑与自然完美融合。这座建于2021年、面积5000平方英尺的设计作品,摒弃了传统的房间布局,采用一系列相互连接的“帐篷”体量空间设计,创造出一种空间漫游体验,仿佛置身于安大略省的树林和草地之中。
这座L形住宅的设计理念以环境管理和仿生原则为中心,旨在培养居住者与周围环境的深度联系。建筑师巧妙地设计了一系列令人惊喜的空间变化,从高耸的天花高度过渡到温馨适宜的低矮空间。住宅的核心是壁炉,被包裹在独具气势的混凝土主体中,仿佛森林中的一片空地。
" Dove 住宅"的可持续发展特征同样令人印象深刻。该住宅利用地热能和太阳能,41块光伏板甚至能产生剩余电力。建筑物的保温性能通过绿色屋顶和全方位的隔热层得到了进一步提升。
受自然启发的材料选择包括耐候钢、白桦木和质感丰富的混凝土,创造出丰富的触觉体验。AGATHOM公司的整体设计方法还延伸到定制照明灯具、定制地毯和综合景观设计,最终呈现出建筑与环境的和谐融合,推动了住宅设计的愿景边界。

Project - Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Toronto, Canada, Dove Cottage by AGATHOM Co. redefines the concept of a modern residence, seamlessly blending architecture with nature. This 5,000 square-foot masterpiece, completed in 2021, eschews traditional room layouts in favor of a series of interconnected pavilions, creating an immersive journey through space that mimics a walk through Ontario's woods and meadows.
The L-shaped home's design philosophy centers on environmental stewardship and biomorphic principles, fostering a deep connection between occupants and their surroundings. The architects have ingeniously crafted a succession of surprises, with spaces transitioning from soaring heights to intimate, low-ceilinged areas. At the heart of the home, back-to-back fireplaces encased in monolithic concrete trunks serve as a focal point, reminiscent of a clearing in the forest.
Dove Cottage's sustainability features are as impressive as its design. The home harnesses geothermal energy and solar power, with 41 photovoltaic panels generating surplus electricity. The structure's thermal performance is enhanced by green roofs and a robust insulation envelope.
The material palette, inspired by nature, includes weathering steel, white birch, and textured concrete, creating a rich tactile experience. AGATHOM Co.'s holistic approach extends to custom lighting fixtures, bespoke rugs, and integrated landscaping, resulting in a harmonious fusion of architecture and environment that pushes the boundaries of residential design.
