架构师提供的文本描述。在一个以平淡无奇的房地产价格最高的城市，工业改造对于那些寻求更独特空间的人来说是一个很受欢迎和预算友好型的选择，有更高的楼面到天花板和更宽敞的区域。

Text description provided by the architects. In a city that commands some of the highest per sq.ft rates for mostly underwhelming properties, industrial conversions are a popular and budget friendly option for those seeking more unique spaces, with higher floor to ceilings and more generous areas.

位于柴湾的“艺术阁楼”是我们在香港的第二个阁楼，是以我们在鸭脷洲的“学士阁楼”上所做的工作为基础的。虽然这两个阁楼位于城市的完全不同的地区，但这两个地区都是工业区，这两个项目的驱动力都是为了创造比城市居民区更好的空间。

“The Art Loft” in Chai Wan is our 2nd loft in Hong Kong and builds upon the work done on our Ap Lei Chau “Bachelor’s Loft”. Although the two lofts find themselves in completely different parts of the city, both districts are industrial zones and both projects are driven by an intention to generate better spaces than those available in the city’s residential neighborhoods.

柴湾阁楼的业主是一位艺术收藏家，因此他的愿望是能够在宽敞舒适的环境中展示自己的艺术和藏书，同时也能在一个宽敞舒适的环境中欣赏城市的景色。

实用的布置图采用混凝土分隔墙将居住和睡觉的区域分开，墙与天花板相隔，允许空间共享通风和照明，同时保持隐私。

A pragmatic layout plan uses a concrete dividing wall to separate the Living and Sleeping areas, the wall is left short of the ceiling allowing for ventilation and light to be shared between the spaces while maintaining privacy.

打开和关闭元素用于隐藏和显示空格。餐饮厨房可以通过大的滑动隔板打开或关闭，这种隔板可以作为黑板，创造一个动态的公共客厅，而卧室则使用窗帘来隐藏和展示衣柜，彻底改变了空间的特征，从卧室到衣橱，在不牺牲空间的情况下，两者都不牺牲空间。

Opening and closing elements are used to hide and reveal spaces. The catering kitchen can be opened or closed by large sliding partitions that double as blackboards creating a dynamic public living area, while the Bedroom uses a curtain to hide and reveal the wardrobe, drastically changing the character of the space from Bedroom, to Walk in Closet without sacrificing space for either.

采用“工业粗糙”的一般方法和临时策略来保持转换后的空间的质量；刮过的梁和柱揭示了结构混凝土，暴露的管道和机械显示了占用空间的紧迫感和暂时感。

A general approach of “industrial roughness” and adhoc strategies are used to maintain the quality of the –converted- space; scraped beams and columns reveal the structural concrete, exposed piping and machinery show the sense of urgency and perhaps temporality of the occupation of the space.
