香港部屋座落在日本新潟縣中魚沼郡津南町內的一個村落里。津南的上鄉(xiāng)被大自然緊緊包圍著，是一個有大樹，有小草，充滿著雪國風貌的青蔥之地。為了不打擾這份自然和寧靜，LAAB以融入作為設計理念，希望香港部屋成為這個村落的一部分。屋頂微微傾側，和村落中此起彼落的民居建筑物互相呼應。LAAB用新潟當?shù)氐聂~沼杉木和常見的鍍鐵板作為部屋屋身的主要物料。部屋里有一個6米樓高的方正寛敞展覽廳，藝術家的居住空間和小區(qū)廚房。鐵閘、舊信箱、霓虹光管在大自然中安靜地歌唱。

新潟縣降雪量高,一年有六個月都在下雪,而這次的項目撥款并沒有融雪的預算,所以LAAB在設計上特意調整了屋頂?shù)膬A斜度,延長雪留在屋頂?shù)臅r間,避免雪掉落在馬路阻塞通道。

在盛夏的下午，大家可以來部屋看展覽，跟藝術家聊天，與居民在廚房分享新潟的越光米，或眺望?疄的農田。在嚴冬的雪夜，藝術家可躲在這暖暖的小房子，品嘗雪國的雪下紅蘿卜汁，倚望著對面街角的越后妻有上鄉(xiāng)劇場館 。

香港部屋剛被選為2019年Architizer A+ Award 里Architecture+Art的最后五強。

Located at the periphery of Tsunan Town in Niigata Prefecture, Hong Kong House fills up the north corner of a pocket garden in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by local dwellings.Closely overseeing the Kamigo Clove Theater, one of the major venues for Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, the house will be a new community hub for Kamigo neighbourhood in Tsunan and a major platform for Hong Kong artists to showcase their works in the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field in coming years.

Instead of building an iconic landmark, we want Hong Kong House to become part of this beautiful neighborhood. Taking inspiration from the green and picturesque landscape, we used tree branching form as the main structural element to support the gable roof and the floor of the artists quarter. The simple pitched roof geometry that resonates with the many vernacular structures in the neighbourhood was animated by the faceted and titled entrance fa?ade. Locally sourced timber, Unoma Sugi, was used for the entrance facade and artists quarter. Galvanized metal cladding-- another ubiquitous material in local village architecture-- was adopted to encompass the rectilinear white gallery. This intriguing duality houses an exhibition space, an artist residence,and a community kitchen. Under the tree, Hong Kong-crafted galvanised roller shutter, letterbox and neon-like signage orchestrate a peaceful song in the nature offered by Echigo-Tsumari.

People can come here to see exhibition, chat with our artists, or simply to look at the neighbourhood farmland.

Hong Kong House is a finalist in the Architecture + Art category of the Architizer A+ Award in 2019.
