Stone Chimney: A Volume Piercing the Full Height

A stone-built volume rising directly from the ground to the ridge. Its width is over two meters, constructed from local stratified rock in a dry-stack manner, with horizontally stacked stones of varying thickness and natural split edges; it passes through the mezzanine and ceiling directly to the roof, continuing upwards outdoors to become a chimney. The fireplace opening is a simple horizontal rectangle, without any frames or moldings. Avoid: using cultured stone or faux stone veneers, interrupting the chimney at the ceiling, adding decorative frames to the fireplace opening, cutting the stone into neat blocks to form a regular wall.

一道從地面直上到屋脊的石砌量體。它的寬度在兩米以上,由當地的層狀岩以乾砌的方式水平堆疊,石塊厚薄不一、邊緣是天然的劈裂面;它穿過夾層與天花直接頂到屋頂,在室外繼續往上變成煙囪。壁爐的開口是一道簡潔的橫向矩形,沒有任何框與線腳。避免:使用文化石與仿石貼片、把煙囪在天花處中斷、讓壁爐開口加上裝飾性的爐框、把石材切成整齊的方塊砌成規則的牆。
