这一转变不仅仅是为了恢复旧的荣耀而进行的表面模仿，而是为了满足现代的需要而进行的变质化。新的当代DNA可以被定义为轻盈、简单而复杂、有趣和活泼。

This transformation is not just superficial mimicry to restore old glory, but rather is metamorphic to address modern day needs. The new contemporary DNA can be defined as light and airy, simple yet complicated, fun and lively.

这座战前旧建筑的翻修简况要求创造一个新的、易于识别的空间特征。关键要素包括：非形式的混凝土接待处，与老水井并列的大堂水井，带有下垂的老式灯的新浴室，以及一张由餐厅的旧地板托梁制成的大型栈桥木桌，这条170英尺长的蜿蜒的走廊，墙壁是有装饰的，提供艺术和设计方面的冒险。

The refurbishment brief for the old pre-war building demanded the creation of a new and easily recognizable spatial identity. Key elements comprise the off-form concrete reception counter, juxtaposed with old water-well at the lobby, new bathrooms with pendulous vintage lights, and a large trestle timber table made from re-used old floor joist at the dining hall, the 170 feet long meandering hallway with patinaed walls that offer an adventure in art and design.

该建筑物由3口气井通风，因此所需的机械空调是最低限度的.屋顶是用马赛兵马俑和瓦莱尔剖面重建的，这是18世纪房屋中使用的原始瓷砖。聚会墙被保存在原来的形式上，旧的灰泥和帕蒂纳都暴露在外面，每一层都代表了前房子的一段历史。

The building is ventilated by 3 air-wells, hence minimal mechanical air conditioning is required.  The roof is reconstructed using terracotta Marseille and V-Tile profiles which were the original tiles used in the 18th century houses.  The party walls were preserved in its original form with the old layers of plaster and patina exposed, whereby each layer represents a piece of history of the former house.

The traditional rear façade brise soleil is made from modernised Malaccan vintage window frames. The vivid colored frames are arranged to illustrate a contrasting giant art piece where modernity and vintage converge.

该项目协调了所有内部元素的设计，包括家具、灯具、艺术品等。

The project coordinated the design of all interior elements including furniture, light fittings, artworks & murals. With a modest budget existing materials were re-used to rejuvenate the interior while preserving the core values of the former house. A brickwork collage becomes feature wall at one of the courtyards which is a now a favorite chill-out section for guests.

Nomaps是一个隐藏的宝石，旧的和新的合并在一个紧密的内部景观系列。

Nomaps is a hidden gem where the old and new merges in a tight series of interior-scapes.
