English: The atelier for a painter is located on the coast of Portugal. The project was part of a course at Aalborg University in 2017. Throughout the course, I had to focus on the use of concrete construction and ventilation strategies. You might discover, that my inspiration for this project was mainly the beautiful East House by Peter Rose + Partners.
Danish: Atelieret for en maler er placeret ud til Portugals kyst. Projektet var en del af et kursus på Aalborg Universitet i 2017. Jeg skulle gennem kurset sætte fokus på brugen af betonkonstruktion og ventilationsstrategier. Du vil sikkert opdage, at min inspiration gennem dette projekt var det smukke East House af Peter Rose + Partners.
English: You enter from the right, between a small passage, where you decide either to enter the home or walk around and into the workshop and exhibition area, which is located to the far left. In the middle of the building are the two small bedrooms, which are placed with a close connection to the bathroom, which is located on the opposite side. Furthermore, the technical room was placed in close connection to both the workshop, the bathroom and the kitchen, which are the critical rooms in terms of ventilation.
Danish: ankommer til dette atelie fra højre, mellem en lille passage, hvor der er mulighed for enten at gå ind i hjemmet eller omkring og ind i værkstedet og udstillingsområdet, som er placeret helt til venstre. I midten af bygningen er de to små soveværelser, som er lagt i tæt forbindelse til badeværelset, som er placeret overfor. Desuden blev det tekniske rum placeret i tæt forbindelse til både værkstedet, badeværelset og køkkenet, som er de kritiske rum i forhold til ventilation.
English: The concept was to create a direction through the atelier, with a bearing wall, that will support the terrain. The living room and workshop are volumes that were extruding out from this wall, to in a way separate the functions visually. Furthermore, by playing with different ceiling height, gave an impression of leaving or entering a new room. Because the building was placed in such beautiful surroundings, this was a primary element, that had to be implemented into the concept. By using large panoramic windows, give the opportunity to explore the landscape and views of the North Atlantic as it were a painting.
Danish: Konceptet var at skabe en retning gennem dette atelie, med en bærende væg, som støtter terrænet. Stuen og værkstedet er volumener, der trækker sig ud fra denne væg for at adskille funktionerne visuelt. Ved at arbejde med forskellige lofthøjder, resulterede det i et indtryk af, at forlade eller komme ind i et nyt rum. Bygningen skulle placeres i natur skønne omgivelser med havudsigt, hvilket var et primært element, der måtte implementeres i konceptet. Ved brug af store panoramavinduer, gav det muligheden for, at betragte landskabet og udsigten over det nordlige Atlanterhav, som var det et maleri.
English: As seen above, the passage, where you have to decide rather enter the home or walk around and discover the workshop and exhibition area.
Danish: Herover er passagen, stedet hvor man må beslutte om man vil gå ind i boligen eller om man tager turen rundt og udforske workshoppen og den tilhørende udstilling.
English: When you go inside, you are entering the living room, where you have the view towards the sea, a wooden roof construction, raw semi-reflective concrete walls, and beautiful wooden flooring, that is orientated towards the view.
Danish: Når man går ind i bygningen, ankommer man i dagligstuen, hvor der er udsyn over havet, et loft i en trækonstruktion, de rå simi-reflekterende betonvægge og et smukt trægulv, som leder ud mod udsigten.
English: The kitchen and living room seem divided by the hallway, by changing the height of the room.
Danish: Dagligstuen og køkkenet bliver opdelt, ved at ændre højden på rummene.
English: The workshop and exhibition area are created in the same style, but with a higher room height, so make it possible for the artist to create tall paintings. Natural light is important for the artist, that is why the room has many windows, with the possibility to shade from direct sunlight.
Danish: Workshop og udstillingsområdet er designet i samme stil som det resterende, men med højere til loftet, for at kunstmaleren får mulighed for at skabe større værker. Naturligt lys er vigtigt for maleren, derfor er rummet indrettet med store glas arealer, så der også er mulighed for at afskærme for det direkte sollys.
English: The section above is a cut through the workshop area and storage, which is located to the right. The thick black line is showing how the building cuts into the landscape. Furthermore, the drawing also shows, how the building is isolated and supported.
Danish: Snittet ovenfor er over workshop og lageret, hvor workshoppen er placeret i venstre side. Den tykke sorte linje illustrerer, hvordan bygningen er sat ind i det naturlige landskab. Derudover viser tegningen også hvordan bygningen er isoleret og understøttet.
