新奇「古怪」的樹屋

設計 06-28

設計實踐Precht工作室為生態建築企業Baumbau設計了一系列截斷的木製樹屋。Chris Precht和他的妻子Fei Tang Precht提出了一個模塊化的家庭的概念，認為房子的形狀應該是由樂趣塑造的。這個被稱為「Bert」的項目概念來源於森林中的樹屋。「Bert」通過孩子的眼睛讓人們來體驗建築和自然。

Design practice Studio Precht has created a series of truncated timber treehouses for eco-building start-up Baumbau. The concept was created by Chris Precht and his wife Fei Tang Precht as a family of modular houses that are shaped by playfulness. Called Bert, the project was conceptualized as a treehouse shaped by the forest itself. Bert invites people to experience architecture and nature through the eyes of children.

「Bert」是Precht與Baumbau的首次合作。Baumbau是一家初創企業，專註於開發小型住宅、樹屋和用於另類旅遊的建築。正如Chris Precht所說，「我們以一種有趣的視角看待這個項目，是想要創造一個比傳統建築更獨特的類型。這種古怪的類型，可以成為森林生態圈的一部分。我認為這種「古怪」可以產生感覺和情緒。也許這些是當今建築中缺失的屬性。「Bert」的目標是避免無處不在的建築類型成為一再的複製品。

Bert is the first collaboration of Precht with Baumbau, a start-up that specialises on tiny homes, treehouses and buildings for alternative tourism. As Chris Precht stated, 「We took a playful look at this project and wanted to create a rather unique character than a conventional building. A quirky looking character that becomes part of the wildlife of a forest. I think this quirkiness can create feelings and emotions. And maybe these are attributes in architecture that are missing these days.」 Bert aims to avoid ubiquitous building types that have become "a copy of a copy of a copy."

「Bert」的建築理念更加多樣化，適合當地氣候和文化。「我們知道，像「Bert」這樣的建築不是大規模發展的類型，但我認為，作為一個行業，我們需要更大膽的嘗試和實驗，為我們的城市創造一個更加多樣化的未來，」Chris Precht表示。「Bert」的模塊化系統的設計是為了方便實時響應客戶的需求。客戶告訴建築師想要的項目，如卧室、廚房、客廳、圖書館和浴室，之後他們可以立即利用所有必要的信息，如成本、大小、時間表等，做出不同的安排。最終的建築以最小的佔地面積通過堆疊的功能向不同的方向延伸。

Bert builds on the idea of more more diverse, climate appropriate and culturally defined architecture. 「We know that buildings like Bert are not the path forward on a big scale, but I think as an industry, we need to dare more, try more and experiment more towards a more diverse future of our cities,」 says Chris Precht. The modular system of Bert was designed to make it easy to react to a client』s brief in real time. The client informs the architects about the desired program, like bedrooms, kitchen, living room, library and bathroom, after which they can make immediately different variations of arrangements with all necessary information of cost, size, schedule, etc. The resulting building is made with a minimal footprint and stacked functions that branch out in different directions.

「我們相信，旅遊業的未來不在於大型酒店和大眾旅遊，而在於提供獨特體驗的特殊建築。」Baumbau首席執行官Rudolf Obauer表示:「與「Bert」的合作讓我們為那些尋求冒險、自然和靈感的人提供服務。」「Bert」是第一個為Baumbau構思的樹屋。「在接下來的幾個月里，我們將宣布與建築師和設計師進一步合作，創建一系列獨特的建築。」

『We believe that future of tourism is not in large hotels and mass tourism, but rather in special buildings that offer a unique experience. With Bert, we cater to the people who seek adventure, nature and inspiration』, says Rudolf Obauer, CEO of Baumbau. Bert is the first treehouse conceptualized for Baumbau. 「During the next months, we will announce further collaboration with architects and designers to create a catalog of unique buildings.」

「Bert」的室內空間故意做得更暗，創造了一個舒適的洞穴般的氛圍，使視野朝向大的玻璃開口。立面上葉子狀的木瓦保持不同深淺的棕色，使結構與自然背景融為一體。正如Precht所言，「對於林業和木材手工業較少的地區，主要的木結構可以用鋼來代替。有了這個概念，Baumbau可以在全球範圍內設計獨特的結構。雖然「Bert」被設計成一個小型住宅，但也可以將模塊安排在更大的配置中。從花園住宅到多戶住宅，再到酒店乃至城市開發項目。」

The interiors of Bert are intentionally made to be darker, creating a cozy, cave-like atmosphere that orients the views towards the large glass openings. The leaf-like shingles on the facade are kept in various shades of brown to blend the structures with the natural background. As Precht states, "For regions with little cultivated forestry and wood-craftmenship, the main wood-structure can be replaced by steel. With that concept, Baumbau can work globally on unique structures. Although Bert was designed as a tiny home, it is also possible to arrange the modules in larger configurations. From garden houses to multifamily homes to hotels or developments in the city."

「Bert」被認為是一個模塊化的建築系統，它的所有部件都是在工廠預製的，並在現場組裝。在整個生命周期中，通過添加新的模塊，項目可以變得更高、更寬。「Bert」是一個獨立的建築，屋頂和室外都有太陽能電池板，一樓還有一個堆肥廁所和水處理設施。Precht的設計讓人回想起爬樹和搭建庇護所的經歷，打造了一種自然的三維體驗。「孩子們會怎麼想像樹屋呢?」Fei Tang Precht問道。「作為建築師，無論年輕還是年老，我們內心都是一個孩子，帶著玩鬧和好奇心看待這個世界。好奇心使我們想要探索、實驗和創造。同樣也是好奇心催生了「Bert」。」

Bert is conceived as a modular building system with all its parts prefabricated in a factory and put together on site. Throughout its life-span, the project can grow taller and wider by adding new modules. Bert is developed as an independent character with solar panels either on the roof or off-site, as well as a composting toilet and a water treatment facility on the ground floor. Precht"s design recalls the experience of climbing trees and building shelters, forming a three-dimensional experience of nature. "How would children imagine a treehouse?」, asks Fei Tang Precht. 「As architects, no matter if young or old, we have an inner child that looks at the world with playfulness and curiosity. That curiosity makes us want to explore, experiment and create. That same curiosity gave birth to Bert.」

「Bert」是由Precht工作室於2019年為Baumbau設計的。首批建築預計將於2020年春季推出。

Bert was designed by Studio Precht for Baumbau in 2019. The first structures are expected to roll out in spring 2020.
