Studio Weave在德文郡的一座石屋中增加了一座双层木质艺术家度假屋，完成了这家度假屋的复兴，为一家居住在伦敦和乡村之间的家庭提供了度假胜地。
Made of Sand坐落在布莱克唐山的一片僻静的地产上，它的名字来源于这个地方作为当地沙坑的历史渊源。Made of Sand被构想为客户的当地家人、朋友和艺术家提供的灵活的客房和创意空间。这个度假胜地为那些希望与自然、艺术或手工艺品以及该地区的组织建立联系的人提供了在宁静的财产上独立的空间。作为狂热的音乐爱好者和创作者，客户汤姆·贝克和娜塔莉·丝克委托Studio Weave设计了一个可以与主屋分开居住的扩建，同时在农村景观中和谐共存，采用现代美学。Studio Weave设计了一个引人注目的两层立方体附加结构，带有几何木立面和大型玻璃开口。东侧立面上的恢复的石楼梯将新空间夹在现有小屋和山坡之间。
Made of Sand取代了一座已经破败的车库和车间。Studio Weave将新的85平方米 “总建筑面积” 的翼绕在老小屋周围，形成了一个内部连接的两个镶嵌L形区域的平面布局。为了创造有意义的入口感，Studio Weave重新引入了一条沿着后山坡通往中央入口大厅的小道。一个不锈钢厨房通过顶部和天窗照亮，通向底层的卧室套间，该套间通往房产前面的大型野花草地。楼上的起居空间似乎通过环绕立面的宽大的三层玻璃延伸到树线之外，提供了对远处布莱克唐山的一览无余的视野。
材料和工艺在将Made of Sand牢牢植根于其环境中起着关键作用。在外面，红色的西部雪松板材与周围的林木一同变成银色。在内部，天然材料包括黏土、陶土、黄铜和道格拉斯冷杉胶合板营造出温暖的环境。Made of Sand具有很高的绝缘性和隔音性，以允许艺术家和儿童在度假和家庭假期期间拥有创造自由。
扩建部分的结构保持展示状态，减少了材料使用和浪费，道格拉斯冷杉的天花板悬河在木质格栅、窗户座椅和墙体存储中得到了体现。由客户当地的泥建专家和工匠建造，Made of Sand在建筑精度与有机细节之间取得了平衡。深红色的黏土墙轻轻弯曲进入门框，手工逐个切割的木墙家具展示了客户、建筑师和承包商之间合作的关心和关注。
Studio Weave has added a double storey timber artist’s retreat to a stone cottage in Devon, completing the revival of the holiday home for a family based between London and the countryside.
Made of Sand is set on a secluded property in the Blackdown Hills, and takes its name from the sites’ historic origins as a local sandpit. Made of Sand was conceived as a flexible guest and creative space for the clients’ local family, friends, and artists. The retreat offers those wishing to connect with nature, their art or craft, and organisations in the region an independent space on the peaceful property. Keen music lovers and creatives, clients Tom Baker and Natalie Silk appointed Studio Weave to design an extension that can be inhabited separately from the main cottage, yet sits harmoniously in the rural landscape while adopting a contemporary aesthetic. Studio Weave designed a striking two storey cubic addition with a geometric timber facade and large glazed apertures. A restored stone stair on the Eastern elevation bookends the new space between the existing cottage and hillside.
Made of Sand replaces an existing garage and workshop that had fallen into disrepair. Studio Weave wrapped the new 85 square metre (GEA) wing around the old cottage, resulting in a floorplan of two tesselating L-shape zones that connect internally. To create a purposeful sense of entry, Studio Weave reintroduced a path along the rear hillside to the central entry hall. A stainless steel galley kitchen lit by overhead and clerestory windows leads to the ground floor bedroom suite, which opens onto the large wildflower meadow at the front of the property. Upstairs, the living space seems to extend out to the treeline through the wide expanse of triple glazing wrapped around the facade, offering uninterrupted views over the Blackdown Hills beyond.
Materials and craft play a key role in anchoring Made of Sand in its setting. Outside, the external Red Western Cedar panelling silvers in tandem with the surrounding woodland timbers. Inside, natural materials including clay, terracotta, brass and douglas fir plywood create a warm environment. Made of Sand is highly insulated and soundproofed to allow artists and children creative freedom during retreats and family holidays.
The structure of the extension remains on display, reducing material use and wastage, and the douglas fir ceiling soffits are echoed throughout in timber battening, window seating and wall storage. Constructed by the clients’ local cob building specialist and craftsman, Made of Sand balances architectural precision with organic details. Rust-coloured clay walls softly curve into door frames, and timber wall joinery cut individually by hand demonstrate the care and attention executed by a dedicated client, architect and contractor partnership.
