这是由DSDHA设计的克拉珀姆隐蔽的住宅。这个家庭住宅坐落于伦敦克拉珀姆古镇，住宅周边是由成年树木和花园组成的田园风景，该住宅可作为验证若干假设的研究案例。研究范围从质询21世纪初的“国内”理论，到质询可持续如何在不妥协的情况下整合到高质量设计。此外，在城市尺度上的策略，它质询了一个像伦敦这样的全球城市将如何在靠近历史中心的、受保护的低密度偏僻地区提供新型住宅。

作为一个低调的家庭住宅，该住宅有着几条简单的原则：采用最可持续的设计理念，同时使用有限的材料面板，创建一个混凝土体块里的家庭生活环境，而又不干扰毗邻场地的敏感环境和23个邻里住宅。材料是两种形式的混凝土，现场的、原始的、未完成的，或者是精确而高度灵活的。这两种混凝土与“洁白”相对比，而混凝土之外的其他表皮则涂有白色饰面，形成一个精准而雕刻感的设计，材质丰富而冷静，宜居。

From the architect. DSDHA has completed a family home, known as the Covert House, which lies hidden from view in the heart of a conservation area in Clapham Old Town, London. Set in a pastoral landscape of mature trees and gardens, the house acts a case study for testing several hypotheses. These span from interrogating the idea of the ‘domestic’ at the beginning of the twenty-first century, through to how sustainability might be integrated into high quality design without compromise. In addition, at a strategic urban scale it asks how a global city like London might provide new housing within its fiercely defended low-density backlands, close to the historic centre.

As a modest family home, the house is designed with a few simple rules; to use the most sustainable design principles possible whilst deploying a limited material palette, yet creating a sense of domesticity within a concrete armature, that does not disturb its sensitive setting and the 23 neighbouring properties adjoining the site. Materials are either concrete – cast on site, left raw and unfinished, or precise and highly articulated – read against ‘whiteness’, be it in the form of natural light, controlled and carefully calibrated to bring animation and delight deep into the plan, or represented though the use of white as a finish for all the remaining surfaces beyond the concrete. The resultant design is precise and sculpted; materially rich yet calm as a place in which to live.

Set partially into the ground to limit its height and provide thermal mass, the house has lower floor lightwells and an elegant white concrete stair that effortlessly mediates the spatial experience between levels within a double height space. The clarity of the architecture echoes the carved forms of the artist Chillida, and is predicated on an engagement with craft and specificity, at a time when standardisation and off-site construction are widely promoted. The project represents an insistence on combining everyday needs with a search for new forms of beauty. The house has been shortlisted for an RIBA London Award 2015.
