卢森堡建筑事务所2001完成了位于南部Mondorf-les-bains的一栋独栋混凝土住宅Hercule。住宅名称取自当地英雄人物John Hercule Gruen，象征着他坚强有力的个人形象。建筑体量像冰山山尖一样从地面冒出：住宅借助设计的力量，完美地融入老农舍与乡村别墅之间的场地中。

Luxembourg-based architectural practice, 2001, has completed Hercule, a monolithic concrete single-family house in Mondorf-les-bains, in the South of Luxembourg.Named after local hero John “Hercule” Gruen for its robust strength, the volume emerges fiercely from the ground like the tip of an iceberg: the stepping of the plot, a residual portion of land situated between an old farm-house and a suburban villa, drove the design, breathing a strong sense of grounding into the site.

立面采用了不同的操作手法，南面光滑的混凝土墙作为上两层的支撑结构，从而无需使用立柱。北面在面向花园的部分开敞，通过不同构造的窗户形成不同的景观元素。朝向街道和花园的东西立面采用反光玻璃幕墙，反射周边的自然肌理，使住宅融入到自然环境之中。

Different approaches define the façades. To the south, a blind béton brut wall works as a beam for the upper two floors, in order to prevent the need for a column in the living room, while the north elevation presents punctual openings onto the garden, framing different landscape elements through furniture-windows. The east and west façades, oriented towards the street and the garden, are treated as curtain walls with a solar protective glass. Reflecting both suburban and landscape contexts, the house blends in with its surroundings.

建筑体量的设计充分迎合了地势。功能用房都安排在地下层，包括车库、入口、衣帽间、洗衣房、健身水疗室、酒窖。厨房、餐厅和起居室设置在一个14 x 6m的空间中，这个空间向西南侧的庭院完全开敞。

Rather than working against the topographical constraint, the natural context helped to determine the layout of the home’s three levels as they step down the slope. The basement gathers all the technical functions, including the garage; the entrance, the wardrobe, the laundry room, the fitness & spa area, the wine-cellar and the kitchen, as well as the dining-room and the living area, both of which are arranged in a single space of 14 x 6m, and open completely on the south-west side via a patio.

卧室和浴室位于另外两层，空间布局与地下层相同。依据必要的美学原则，这些空间被安排在一个紧凑的体量中，并且是从街道上唯一可以看到的部分。通过这种方式，建筑师最大化的保证了建筑的私密性，减少了建筑对外部环境的视觉影响。

These dimensions are repeated on the upper two floors, which accommodate the bedrooms and bathrooms. Designed according to an essential aesthetic, they are included in a compact volume that represents the only visible part of the building from street level. In this way, the architects attained maximum privacy and minimized the building’s visual impact over ground.

这个项目的激进之处在于它保留了外观的原始质朴。 2001创始人Philippe Nathan说：”为了应对复杂的文脉，这栋建筑混杂了多种人工手法，它对定义21世纪年轻家庭居住空间具有重要意义。”

The radicalism of the project is further expressed through the lack of finishing: “The project results in a multifaceted artefact, an architectural bastard, dealing with the context complexity and defining vital spaces for a young family in the 21st century”, asserts Philippe Nathan, founder of 2001.

住宅只有主要的结构元素外露，并通过框架与沙子进行加固。这种朴素的建筑外形在现代国内标准中是很独特的，这也强调了建筑的本质：简化内部环境以最小化地影响外部文脉。设计通过人们在日常生活中的使用，让建筑获得永恒。

Only the main structural elements are visible, and are enhanced through the use of formwork or sanding. The resulting austerity, which is unusual for contemporary domestic standards, underlines the essence of the project: the minimal quality of the interiors fosters a relationship with the context. The design facilitates the appropriation and the application of timeless architecture by its users in their daily lives.
