“喜鹊之家”是DGN Studio为一对纺织设计师和数字设计师夫妇设计的家庭住宅，项目位于伦敦东部，由一座经典联排住宅改造而成。在以优质的材料为住宅进行扩建与翻新后，室内空间变得通透明亮，证明了建筑能够在巧妙的设计下不断发展并适应居住者的需求。
DGN Studio has demonstrated adaptability to an ever-evolving brief at Magpie House, resulting in a bright, material-first refurbishment and extension of an East London terraced home for a textile designer and digital designer.

业主夫妇是一对中世纪家具的狂热收藏家，并且在自建住宅方面颇具心得，在此前提下，他们找到了DGN Studio，希望设计团队能够帮助他们改建自宅北侧的底层空间。在深入了解事务所的设计经历后，业主夫妇将委托扩展到对住宅上层空间的翻新，他们希望建筑师能够以与改建部分相同的设计语言对上部楼层进行翻新，同时将他们的古董家具收藏结合在空间的设计中。

The clients, keen collectors of mid-century furniture with extensive knowledge in self-build projects, approached DGN Studio to open and extend the ground floor of their north-facing home. The brief quickly grew to encompass refurbishing the upper floor, requiring DGN Studio to execute a cohesive renovation throughout while incorporating many repurposed fittings and furniture from the clients’ vintage collection.

设计首要步骤始于对空间的重新规划，以及为住宅引入更多自然光线。更新后的底层空间更富有凝聚力，并形成了从生活、到餐饮、再到烹饪的无比顺畅的空间流线。设计团队打破了住宅多个小房间的传统式布局，将平面的中心向外界环境打开，并在入口植入了一处宽敞舒适的生活空间。该空间不仅通向新的厨房和餐厅空间，更是继续向住宅后部扩展了3米，将家庭生活延伸至后花园。
Working first on the principles of spatial planning and natural light, DGN Studio redesigned the existing ground floor plan to encompass a more cohesive and seamless sequence for living, dining, and cooking. DGN Studio reworked the traditional configuration of smaller rooms, opening the centre of the plan to create a welcoming living space on entrance, which leads down into the new kitchen and dining space, which extends 3 metres into the rear garden.

与花园连接的生活空间可谓是整个项目设计的核心，扩建出来的部分为建筑后侧立面增添了混凝土肌理以及深色橡木制成的窗台座椅，此外，扩建体的玻璃面板可以完全打开，为居住者提供了从餐厅到花园的流动视觉体验。从外部看，住宅后侧立面的设计提供了一定程度的视觉深度与隐私。富有表现力的镀锌钢结构和深色木制窗饰，与现有的花园房黑色立面紧密相连。细长的钢柱则打破了立面的节奏，呈现出一抹亮色，立面的顶部则是厚厚的铅护墙，护墙上设有凸出的小型悬垂结构，能够为下面的长凳遮挡雨水。
Connection to the garden was central to the brief, met with the addition of a cast concrete and dark stained oak window seat at the rear elevation, the glazed panels of which can be entirely opened to offer a seamless flow from dining area to garden. Outside, the rear façade is designed to offer depth and a degree of privacy. It has an expressive, galvanised steel structure with dark stained timber window trims, chosen to tie neatly in with the existing black-stained garden room. Slim steel posts break up the dark elevation, which is topped by a thick lead parapet that projects to create a small overhang, sheltering the bench below from rain.

庭院的设计旨在创造一处低维护成本的室外空间。砾石覆盖着的回收钢网板构成了花园地面，此外，业主夫妇还将从啤酒厂回收的麦芽窑瓷砖重新利用在花园中，作为新旧结合的精心叙事线索。设计团队从业主对不同材料与肌理的拼接中得到了灵感，并将这种设计语言编织在整个住宅的改造翻新中。在新的扩建部分中，DGN Studio利用矿物涂料来处理回收的伦敦砖，进而为室内营造出温暖柔和的氛围。此外，设计团队还在入口层与扩建部分的地面之间设置了三级台阶，利用地形的落差增加了天花板的高度，同时在天花板中置入玻璃天窗，以引入更多自然光线。
The courtyard is a low maintenance space featuring gravel overlaid with reclaimed steel mesh panels, and brewer’s malting kiln tiles salvaged and repurposed by the client as part of a careful narrative of old and new. This stitching and weaving of different material components and objects inherited from the client continues throughout the home. In the new extension, DGN Studio treated reclaimed London stock bricks with a mineral paint for a softer interior. Set three steps down from the entrance level, the new extension takes advantage of increased ceiling heights and overhead glazing.

扩建厨房中，大型细木工件创造出充足的存储空间，满足了业主对于厨房经济性与多功能性的要求，所有的设计都是围绕业主夫妇已经拥有的物品展开的，例如：烤箱和灶台。在材料方面，不锈钢台面以及防溅板与灰色橱柜和开放式置物架形成了鲜明的对比，同时这种对比还进一步延伸到厨房操作台上方的不锈钢顶柜中，这个隐藏式顶柜为居住者提供了更加充足的储存空间，能够轻松满足大型家庭聚会或社交活动的服务需求。此外，嵌入在墙壁中的白蜡木肌理将厨房与住宅前部的客厅联系在一起，使整个底层空间形成统一的空间氛围。
The requirement for an economic and functional kitchen is accommodated by large joinery pieces for plentiful storage, all designed to work around items that were already in the client’s possession such as the oven and hob. Stainless steel counters and splashback act as the main material of contrast against ash cupboards and open shelving. These extend to a larger, stainless-steel unit that conceals the extract at high level, as well as providing ample space for preparation to service large gatherings. An ash wood cut out in the wall connects the kitchen to the sitting room at the front of the home, elongating site lines throughout the ground floor.

住宅上层空间同样经过了重新规划，将原先的三间卧室改造为两间卧室和一间家庭浴室，如果业主需要，上部楼层在未来还可以容纳第三间小卧室。由橡木框架支撑的芦苇玻璃屏风围合出全新的浴室空间，门上方的格栅将光线引入顶楼。微水泥的肌理由地板一直延伸到墙壁，浴室也是围绕客户收集的物品而设计的，包括：马桶、大水槽，以及浴缸等。原浴室外狭窄的走廊如今被改造为开放明亮的生活空间，可容纳沙发或书房，为曾经单一的流通空间赋予了实用性的功能。上部楼层中采用的木质地板，由英国东北部和中大西洋地区历史悠久的谷仓建筑中回收而来，温暖且富有质感的木材肌理成为了空间的流畅过渡，将居住者引向熟悉的、且仅进行了最小干预的卧室。
Upstairs, the floor plan is rearranged to accommodate two bedrooms and a family bathroom in lieu of the previous three bedroom arrangement, which can still accommodate a third small bedroom in future if required. The new bathroom is enclosed in an oak-framed reeded glass screen with slatted timbers above the door to allow light to permeate into the top floor. Microcement floors are taken up to the walls, with the interior designed around the clients’ collected items including the loo, large sink and bath. In lieu of the former, narrow corridor outside the bathroom, a bright, open landing can now accommodate a sofa or study, going beyond mere circulation space. A wood floor reclaimed from the structural and supporting timbers of historic barns throughout the North-East & Mid-Atlantic regions elevates the feel of it as a transitory space to the bedrooms where minimal alterations were made.

“‘喜鹊之家’既是约翰和爱丽丝的家，同时也是他们收藏中世纪家具和艺术品的私人博物馆。我们致力于塑造空间的完整性，让我们的作品成为约翰和爱丽丝众多材料、家具、陈设收藏的完美背景。”
“Magpie House was conceived as a home for John and Alice but also a personal museum for their incredible collection of mid century furniture and artworks. We focused on creating spaces of architectural integrity, allowing our work to become a backdrop for the many materials, fittings, and fixtures John and Alice brought to the home.”
—— Daniel Goodacre，DGN Studio负责人
Daniel Goodacre, Director DGN Studio
“DGN Studio完美地回应了我们需求，并使这栋住宅在未来能够不断发展。我们曾与Daniel在之前的一个项目中合作过，能有一位值得信赖、才华横溢的建筑师执掌‘喜鹊之家’的设计，真是太棒了。”
“DGN Studio was very responsive to our brief, which evolved continually. We had worked with Daniel on a previous project when he was part of another practice, and it was wonderful to have a trusted and talented architect at the helm of Magpie House.”

本项目的成功得意于建筑师、业主以及承包商之间长期的良好合作关系，以及设计对于项目中的各类收藏家具与物品的敏感态度。DGN Studio的设计颠覆了传统的住宅改造流程，以一种更直观、更灵活的方式回应了场地的条件与业主的需求。可以说，“喜鹊之家”的成功是多方紧密合作的成果。
The project was facilitated by a long-term relationship between the client and contractor, as well as a sensitive attitude to reusing found objects. DGN Studio rethought the traditional design process in favour of a more intuitive, flexible approach, testing new ways of working in a more agile and responsive manner to site processes, making Magpie house a successful collage of many hands.
