This is the third in a series of posts exploring materiality in the architecture of Turkel Design homes—specifically, our use of wood. In previous posts, we delved into the 나무의 유기적 성질 보완적 요소와 모순적 요소를 모두 검토했습니다. 나무와 돌.
이 상호 작용을 탐색하기 위해 우리는 다음에 중점을 두었습니다. 멀머 힐스 농장—an Ontario home built almost entirely from those two materials, plus glass. Now, we move west to Wyoming, where 테톤 마운틴 홈 stands on a bluff, framing the spectacular views beyond—and exemplifying the special relationship between wood and glass.
숲으로 둘러싸인 나무 프레임
Surrounded by proud fir trees and imposing peaks, Teton Mountain Home is inspired by its location, with carefully framed views and an embrace of indoor/outdoor living. It is a home for an active family that enjoys the lifestyle of the mountain region. With this purpose in mind, our team worked with the homeowners to select premium wood materials that honor and reflect the home’s surroundings. For example, ceiling beams are made from Douglas fir, a species prevalent in the forests around the Teton Mountains. All the qualities we extolled in our post “The Wonders of Wood” 이 집에서는 분명합니다:
- wood’s organic nature as a living material, with grain that suggests how it wants to be used
- 자연의 힘과 아름다움이 포스트 앤 빔 건축의 기능성을 드러내는 방식
- 장소감을 만들어내는 능력
유리를 통해 보는
Now, consider the role of glass in our appreciation of the qualities above. Contrary to the opacity of wood, glass brings lightness and transparency, which further our appreciation for the wood. At Teton Mountain Home, the open, double-height great room is wrapped in walls of glass, including retractable doors. The transparency of the glass connects the materiality of the wood materials inside the home to the landscape outside. Even while indoors, one’s experience of the home is shaped by the forests and mountains beyond.
The Douglas fir glulam beams that stretch across the great room extend past the glass walls to the outdoor overhang. The rhythmic quality of the beams captures the eye and draws it outward to the rolling views beyond. The reverse is also true; the glass walls allow the home’s wooden structure to be visible even from outside. Viewed from this perspective, the glass helps the wood reveal to us how it supports the structure.
유리의 투명성은 자연광을 들여와 나무의 미적 특성, 즉 자연스러운 아름다움, 질감, 결을 강조합니다. 자연광에 비추인 나무는 건물을 집으로 바꾸는 데 도움이 되는 따뜻함을 만들어냅니다.
오래도록 집을 지을 수 있는 재료
Wood has a timeless quality; we associate it with hundreds of years of timber-frame architecture. Glass, in contrast, feels more modern, especially when paired with manufactured materials such as aluminum and steel. The combination of wood and glass, however, maintains a sense of modernity without sacrificing that sense of timelessness. When employed with the right design principles, it creates beautiful modern architecture that doesn’t feel like a product of the moment in which it was built.
