Wood Marsh | 探索光影之間的對話
//
Domain Road Apartments坐落在錐形混凝土基座上，對周圍環境做出持久的、精緻和簡約的表達。Wood Marsh Architecture巧妙地將開放和封閉空間編織在一起，以平衡光與暗的特點，並由此創造出獨特寧靜的避風港。
Sitting upon its own tapered concrete plinth, Domain Road Apartments is imagined as an enduring expression of refinement and simplicity in response to the surrounds. Wood Marsh Architecture articulates an intricate weaving of open and closed spaces to balance the light and dark features whilst creating distinctively calm sanctuaries.
Wood Marsh
Encased in a combination of reflective glass and solid elements, Domain Road Apartments responds to its surrounding streetscape with consideration towards its scale and form. Wanting to engage beyond the site and acknowledge the existing approaches already in place, the combined residences sit within a crisp and linear exterior silhouette. Whilst subtle shifts in the transparent façade respond to the interior functions, the overall form is contained on the existing site, purposefully increasing density. Wood Marsh Architecture creates an interplay between light and dark features, balancing differing textures and materiality as a key part of the experience of the apartments.
Carrying the exterior materials into the interior, concrete and glass create a sense of solidity that counters more traditional residential palettes.
Domain Road Apartments considers the transition from street to home and crafts a distinctive sequence of experiences along the way. The stable concrete plinth that the rectilinear base sits upon brings a sense of separation between public and private, allowing for the ground-level apartments to feel secure and disconnected. Set among an equally curated landscape designed by TCL, the next chapter should see the plinth become overgrown with plants and cascade down toward the footpath. From the rear laneway, a private access point reinforces a sense of seclusion and is the first point of contact with the building as its façade begins to fragment.
Together with stone, leather and blackened bronze, a grounded warmth is created within each of the apartments, with the framed, open views adding a certain lightness.
In the detailing and patina of the materials lies a distinct texture that allows for natural light to create its own interaction and movement throughout the day. Located across from the Royal Botanic Gardens, creating a visual connection to nature was vital, which, in turn, enlivens the bunkered homes.
羅傑·伍德 (Roger Wood) 和蘭德爾·馬什 (Randal Marsh) 自1983年起一直從事私人實踐，他們早期的哲學和審美理念一直貫穿於隨後幾十年的建築實踐中。地域性和地區性的背景問題是他們多樣化的作品的基礎，涵蓋了住宅、商業和城市建築。該事務所以其清晰的願景和多才多藝而聞名，其創作的藝術畫廊、酒莊和私人住宅與該公司在墨爾本及其周邊地區所創建的廣泛城市基礎設施一樣熟練。
在每個項目中，蘭德爾·馬什的創作原則都顯而易見：外部形式的雕塑質感、堅實與透明性的對比以及有限色調的材質。每一個項目都提醒我們，當代建築可以具有永恆性，實用的設計可以是獨特而美麗的。
羅傑·伍德和蘭德爾·馬什對設計潮流的起伏不爲所動，他們表示藝術（通常而非具體的建築）對他們的實踐產生了更大的影響，他們的作品被維多利亞國家美術館、澳大利亞國家美術館、皇家墨爾本理工大學和私人收藏家收藏而感到自豪。
