Highgate Residential Project by House of Grey

感谢 House of Grey 对gooood的分享。
Appreciation towards House of Grey for providing the following description:

在过去的十年间，House of Grey一直致力于重塑其作为设计工作室的理念和实践，同时为客户创造恢复性的室内空间和健康的居住环境。该项目是House of Grey最新完成的项目之一，它融合了工作室的标志性美学观念和Salutogenic Design（有益健康的设计）原则。Salutogenic Design的目标十分简单，即创造能够让人变得更加健康的空间――这也是当今世界上许多领先医疗设施所践行的原则。

Over the past decade, House of Grey have been reﬁning our thinking and design practices as a design studio, whilst creating restorative interior spaces and healthful environments for our clients. Our recently completed Highgate residential project fuses our signature aesthetic and philosophy with Salutogenic Design principles to create a home-retreat for the owners, who wished to actively pursue health and invest in their own contentment. Salutogenic Design’s simple aim is to build structures that make people healthier, a principle that originated in the construction of many of the world’s leading modern hospitals.

设计团队委托Sebastian Cox与之进行合作，共同为住宅设计了主卧室床铺、床头柜、衣柜和梳妆台等家具。橡木白蜡木被用作主要材料，它们可以通过调节湿度来改善空气的质量从而更加有利于呼吸。衣柜的内部采用了英国雪松木，可以起到防虫作用。诸如此类的细节设计使空间能够持续地满足人的需求，从而在日常的使用中达到改善人体健康的效果。

House of Grey commissioned and co-designed the master bed, bedside tables, wardrobe and vanity unit with Sebastian Cox. We chose materials such as ebonised oak and blackened ash which improve air quality by moderating humidity, to improve breathing. We chose English cedar wood for the wardrobe interior to prevent moths – utilising nature’s wisdom to eliminate common problems. Thought-through details such as these culminate in an ongoing contentment in a space that improves human health with day-to-day use.

房间中的每个元素都发挥出了其固有的价值，致力于从人类和生态健康的角度来帮助室内设计发挥出最积极的作用。主卧室的床采用了橡胶毛（通常由猪、牛、马的短毛混合而成）和天然乳胶的搭配，并铺设了100%的羊毛填充层。NaturalMat创始用品和床垫均是在互惠贸易的原则下购置，并且由100%可生物降解的原料制成，可以在需要时回归地球。

Every element is considered for its inherent values and how it positively contributes to the impact of the interior scheme from the perspective of both human and ecological health. The master bed has been upholstered using a combination of rubberised hair – this material comprises of animal hair (typically a mix of hog, cattle, horse short hairs) with natural latex and layered with a 100% wool wadding. Our choice of bedding and mattress from NaturalMat is harvested according to Fair Trade principles and made from 100% biodegradable resources, so it can return to the Earth as nature intended.

浴室的墙壁使用了Tadelakt饰面――这是一种纯天然的、以石灰为基底并借助皂溶液进行密封的饰面，在满足光滑性和透气性的同时亦提供了兼顾美感和实用、清洁与健康的居住环境。作为一款材料而言，Tadelakt可谓是House of Grey工作室一贯追求的循环健康设计先锋理念的完美体现。

Tadelakt饰面采用了传承自摩洛哥工匠大师的古老工艺，将生产过程中使用的能源最小化，且释放的二氧化碳量要比普通的水泥材料饰面减少80%。其产生的二氧化碳可以被石灰重新吸收，因而不会对大气造成危害。Tadelakt还可以进行生物降解，或者被回收并利用至新的灰泥饰面。

We utilised Tadelakt for the bathroom walls as it is completely natural, lime-based and sealed with a soap solution – providing a smooth, breathable ﬁnish and a beautiful yet practical, clean and healthy living environment. As a material, Tadelakt plaster is the perfect incarnation of the House of Grey’s pioneering philosophy: Circular Salutogenic Design.

Tadelakt is still made using ancient processes passed on and taught by the Moroccan masters. The minimum amount of energy is used during its production, it releases 80% less CO2 that cement-based ﬁnishes and any CO2 that is generated gets re-absorbed by the lime – which means it doesn’t escape and harm the atmosphere. Tadelakt is also biodegradable, so once it’s disposed of in the future it will gradually sink back into the earth, or it can be broken down, recycled and used in new mortars.

浴缸和洗手池采用了精心筛选的沙子和未经烧制的黏土，加以颜料和矿物质混合而成，最终形成天然且可呼吸的优质石膏墙面，为批量生产的浴室家装材料提供了更加健康环保的选择。

洗手间的墙面选用Clayworks饰面材料，在月白和浅黄两种色彩的基础上镶嵌了黄铜细部。Clayworks的诞生同样源于其创始人对于自然的热爱以及对可持续建筑实践的信念――它是一种100%天然且可以吸收毒素的材料，兼备了零VOC排放、低碳、100%可分解和可回收的特性。

The bath and sink are made of carefully selected sands and unﬁred clays mixed with pigments and minerals blended to become a high-quality natural plaster which is able to breathe, providing a healthy alternative to mass-produced bathroom ranges.

In the WC we used Clayworks two tone (Moon Tonal and Buff) on the walls with brass inlay. Clayworks was born from the founders’ love of nature and belief in natural, sustainable building practices. This material is 100% natural, absorbs toxins, zero VOC emission, low embodied carbon, 100% compostable and recyclable.
