A449 converts Scottish cottage into writer's home with scorched larch cladding

爱丁堡工作室A449已经采用了一个苏格兰边境的20世纪中期的“四不像”住宅，作为一位作家的房屋。

Edinburgh practice A449 has adapted a "nondescript" mid-20th-century dwelling in the Scottish Borders to create a home with scenic views for a writer.

该爱丁堡的建筑事务所，由建筑师Matthew Johnson领导，他拓展了Blakeburn 小屋到东边和西边，并用烧焦的垂直木条覆盖它。

The Edinburgh-based practice, led by architect by Matthew Johnson, extended Blakeburn Cottage to the east and west, and clad it in vertical strips of scorched larch.

工作室也修复和重组了室内结构，它位于梅尔罗斯镇附近。现在它为作家提供了生活住处和工作室，他可以在家工作。

The studio also renovated and reorganised the interior of the property, which is located near the town of Melrose. It now provides both living quarters and a studio for the writer, who works from home.

“鉴于现有建筑物的突出位置，任何新的作品都必须被整合，最大限度地减少在基地上创建一个更大的建筑物的视觉冲击，”Johnson说。

“我们通过借鉴现有建筑简单的山墙形式来实现这些，同时利用被约束的材料颜色，它是与周围的环境相符合的，”他补充说。“其结果是外观有一个精致的形式，使建筑融入到基地东部的森林中去。”

"Given the prominent position of the existing building, any new works had to be articulated to minimise the visual impact of creating a much larger building on the site," said Johnson.
"We achieved this by referencing the simple gable form of the existing building, and by utilising a restrained material palette that was sympathetic to the site context," he added. "The result is a refined form with an external appearance that allows the building to blend into the woods to the east of the site."

室内被打破然后重新布置，创造了一系列强调建筑坡屋顶的全高居住空间。

The interior was gutted and rearranged to create a chain of full-height living spaces that accentuate the building's pitched roof.

作家工作室位于该地产的一端，以面向基地边上一棵成熟树木的大型落地窗为特色。

写作区域与开放布局的起居空间通过卧室和洗浴间被分开——在客户的工作时间和休闲时间之间创建了区别。

The writing studio is positioned at one end of the property and features picture windows facing into a grove of mature trees beside the site.
The writing area is separated from an open-plan living area by a bedroom and bathroom – creating distinction between the client's working and relaxation time.

天窗被切割在倾斜的天花板上面，位于主卧室和浴室之上，有助于最大限度地提高自然采光，同时保持隐私，引入来自“观星浴”天空的那片风景。

Skylights are cut into the sloping ceilings above the master bedroom and bathroom, helping to maximise natural light while maintaining privacy, and framing views of the sky from the "stargazing bath".

“充分利用整个房间的体量是这座建筑的成功之处，但我们特别满意的是主浴室，”Johnson说。

“屋顶光线在大多数房间里都很有特色，但是这里，两个大屋顶的光线位于浴室正上方，创造了独特的观看云朵和眺望星空的机会。”

"Making use of the full volume of a room is successful throughout the building, but we are particularly pleased with the results in the master bathroom," said Johnson.
"Roof lights feature in most rooms, but here, two large roof lights sit directly above the bath creating a unique opportunity for cloud watching and stargazing."

白色涂层的起居室位于建筑的西面，得益于傍晚的太阳，有一个烧柴的炉子，让它在冬天保持温暖。

这些房间由长走道连接在一起，走道沿着房屋的前部，也可以作为展示厅。

The white-painting living space is set at the west of the building to benefit from the evening sun, and has a wood-burning stove to keep it warm in winter.
The rooms are linked by a long corridor runs along the front of the house that also functions as a gallery.

Blakeburn Cottage 目前入围了苏格兰（RIA）奖的皇家注册建筑师，同时入围的还有BTE和Icosis建筑事务所在苏格兰高地的风景如画的基地上设计的一对观测塔。
