Reclamation of an existing construction always has more than simply ecological value, restoring to the community a part of its collective memory. One such example is the recent水塔project byTonkin Liu Architects在英国的诺福克县，获胜者RIBA Stephen Lawrence Prize 2021以及其他几项奖品。The old metal construction relocated from an airfield to the vicinity of the historic village ofCastle Acreafter the Second World War quickly became a landmark for the local community; many of the villagers have fond memories of climbing the structure to enjoy the view of the barley fields around it in their youth. This was one reason for the popularity ofTonkin Liu的想法是收回旧塔并将其转换为摄影师的家Dennis Pedersen, the new owner of the property.
The architects transformedthe original water tankinto the living area that forms the central part of the home. This is the top level of the residence, and the old metal volume has been cut open at the top to create a skylight and on three sides to open up a ribbon window with panoramic views over the countryside. The metal panels have been preserved inside the tank, along with original parts of the system such as valves and manifolds, which have been cleaned up and treated as new decorative elements in an architectural idiom that intentionally reflects the industrial style of the 1930s.
The two levels below the main volume contain the bedrooms, built by adding a new prefabricated glulam structure to the original metal frame. A kitchen and dining area has been created on the ground floor, while a second tower, containing the stairs and lift, constitutes the entrance to the home and stabilises the old construction so it will not sway in the wind. This tower, which faces the village, is windowless on the sides so it looks like a tall box connected with the水塔by a glass bridge, containing a dramatic spiral staircase that rises up toward the rooftop skylight and terrace.
法官RIBA Stephen Lawrence Prize 2021appreciatedTonkin Liu’s reinterpretation of the original structure of the Water Tower, emphasising how the architects rigorously and honestly maintained the building’s agricultural look, without any pretentious reinterpretation or clichés, praising its appearance as a gentle giant standing out in the countryside.
