重塑極簡主義，墨西哥Rombo IV住宅-設計風向

極簡主義以其精致優雅和巧妙的處理方式，往往是當代建築師設計私人住宅的審美哲學選擇。現代主義原則的基礎是純白、整潔的室內環境、不對稱的幾何形狀組合、功能的簡單性和開放的平麵布局，現代別墅是極簡主義設計的典範，但它們也可能顯得有些單調和統一。墨西哥建築工作室MIGUEL ANGEL ARAGONÉS設計了位於墨西哥城Bosques de las Lomas社區中一個的Rombo IV別墅，打破了現代主義設計的口號，太陽下山後，整個住宅被霓虹燈照亮。

With its sophisticated elegance and timeless finesse, minimalism is more often than not the aesthetic philosophy of choice for contemporary architects designing private houses. Underpinned by the modernist principles of all-white, uncluttered interiors, asymmetrical compositions of geometric forms, functional simplicity and open plan layouts, modern villas are a paragon of minimalist design but they can also seem somewhat sterile and uniform. Enter Mexico City-based architectural studio Miguel Ángel Aragones, whose recent project Rombo IV, a wholeheartedly minimalist villa in the prestigious Mexico City neighbourhood of Bosques de las Lomas, breaks away from the modernist design mantra, lighting up the entire residence in an ambient deluge of neon colours after the sun goes down.

正如它的名字所暗示的，Rombo IV是四個分散在同一位置的建築中的第四個。空間占據三層樓，通過各種幾何形狀相互連接，形成寬闊的視線，使得三層樓的房間之間建立視覺聯係，同時賦予空間立體感。事實上，在建築內部開口、切口、護牆、柱子和內置家具的結合下，使用正交的形狀加上全白色色調，已經把房子變成了一個立體主義雕塑。

As its name suggests, Rombo IV is the fourth out of four separate buildings clustered in the same location. Occupying three floors, the spaces flow into one another with a variety of geometrical cut-outs facilitating wide sight lines and allowing for visual connections between rooms across all three levels, while bestowing a cubist sensibility. In fact, the creative use of orthogonal shapes and volumes in the guise of openings, cut-outs, parapets, pillars and in-built furniture, in combination with the all-white colour palette, has turned the house into a lived-in cubist sculpture.

幾個裝飾石球的存在進一步增強了這種感覺，包括水池和鏡麵的反射表麵。這種反射元素的使用是建築師設計的一個關鍵元素，允許地塊周邊的種植區域在視覺上深入到房子的內部，並給房間注入一種寧靜感，促進沉思。

The presence of several decorative stone spheres further enhances this sensation as does the inclusion of reflective surfaces like water ponds and mirror-polished finishes. The use of such reflective elements is a key element of the architect’s design allowing the planted areas in the perimeter of the plot to visually penetrate deep into the house’s interior, as well as imbue the rooms with a sense of tranquillity and promote contemplation.

在一層，公共空間圍繞著一個開放的中心，由看起來像一個淺水池的反射的“T台”主導。該空間通過一個兩層高的陽光房向外開放，進入一個三角形的庭院，庭院被豐富的植被和池塘包圍，呼應了室內的“T台”。

On the ground floor, the communal spaces coalesce around on an open-plan hub dominated by a reflective “catwalk” that appears like a shallow pond. The space opens up through a double-height sunroom to a triangular courtyard which is hemmed in by a strip of rich vegetation and a linear pond that echoes the “catwalk” inside.

臥室位於一樓，主臥室在三角形庭院上方伸出，而其他兩間臥室通往一個露台，露台上可以俯瞰一個三角形池塘。在頂層，屋頂遊泳池四麵遮蔽，可以保護隱私和遮陽，而一係列細長的切口可讓人們一睹周圍的植被，並且全天都能看到陽光和影子之間的互動。

The bedrooms are located on the first floor with the master bedroom jutting out over the triangular courtyard, while the other two bedrooms open up onto a terrace overlooking a triangular pond sitting on top of the garage.On the top floor, a rooftop pool is sheltered on all sides for privacy and shading while a series of slim cut-outs allows glimpses of surrounding vegetation and the discrete interplay of sunlight and shadows throughout the day.

晚上，全白的室內空間被轉換成三維的霓虹色畫布，和諧地融合在一起。明亮的藍色、橙色、紫色、粉色和紅色照亮了房間，從窗戶裏投射出棱鏡般的光芒。色彩允許房間的氛圍與居住者的情緒相協調。

At night, the all-white interiors are transformed into a three-dimensional canvas of neon colours that harmoniously blend into each other. Bright blue, orange, purple, pink and red hues illuminate the rooms that cast a prismatic glow out of the windows. The colour scenarios also allow the ambience of the rooms to tune in to the occupants’ mood.
