荷兰70F设计事务所设计出“有生命的”游客中心。
Hof van Duivenvoorde(Duivenvoordes庭院)正面有9个可移动板块,日出打开,日落关闭。打开的时候,这就是一家宽敞明亮的餐厅,而关闭之后,整个建筑就形成谷仓状,与周围建筑融为一体,谦逊低调。
Hof van Duivenvoorde游客中心隶属于Voorschoten市国家纪念地Duivenvoorde城堡庄园。Duivenvoorde基金会由政府人员管理,负责人委托70F建造一座外观上像谷仓的建筑,同时保证建筑有很好的透明度,给人以热情开放的感觉。
70F给出的设计方案使得负责人眼前一亮,可移动设计别具一格,但同时也增加了建造难度。所有天窗制造商和铰链供应商都不敢接受这一挑战。因此,70FBas ten Brinke决定亲自挂帅。
Hof van Duivenvoorde既有餐厅,也有博物馆商店。这里空间充裕,人们可以自己在城堡里或庄园周边随便逛逛。虽然建筑的面积相对偏小,只有6×30米,但是由于透明度好,感觉上很宽敞。可以从建筑的一面看到另一面。厨房(位于建筑最里面)和卫生间(位于建筑中间)顶部未作处理,可以直接看到屋顶以及整个内部构造。不可移动的窗子漫过屋脊一直延伸到后屋顶上,对面就是纪念园的外墙。
这是一座典型的现代建筑,却与周边古城堡这样的13世纪建筑完美融合。
Dutch architecture studio 70F architecture designed a visitors center that ‘lives’.
Hof van Duivenvoorde (Duivenvoordes Courtyard) has nine movable facade parts that open up the building in the morning and close it at night. When the façade is open the building is a light restaurant, when it’s closed it becomes a modest barn that disappears in its surroundings.
Hof van Duivenvoorde is the visitors center that belongs to Duivenvoorde Castle and Estate, a national monument in the city of Voorschoten. The Duivenvoorde foundation was the comissioner and asked 70F architecture to create a building that would look like a barn but at the same time be transparent and have a welcoming atmosphere.
The solution, with its movable facade parts was a direct hit with the commissioner, but turned out to be difficult to execute. No hatch producer or hinge supplier was up for the challenge. Bas ten Brinke, owner of 70F architecture, therefore decided to do the engineering himself.
Hof van Duivenvoorde inhabits a restaurant, a museum shop and space for the volunteers who give guided tours in the castle and around the estate. The building is relatively small – 6 x 30 meters – but feels spacious because of the high transparency. You can look from one side of the building to the other. The space above the kitchen (in the far end of the building) and the sanitary unit (in the middle) are left open, thus showing the roof and it’s construction in it entirety. Some of the fixed windows continue up and over the roof-ridge into the back roof plane, towards the monumental garden wall.
The building is an example of modern architecture, fitting seamlessly in its 13th century surroundings defined by the castle.
