该地区被称为“白城”，是特拉维夫建国之地，2003年被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界遗产。该结构本身包括一个鲁斯蒂科底层，这是基础的两个额外的楼层与文艺复兴风格的拱门。

The area, known as the “White City” is the site of Tel Aviv’s founding and was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2003. The structure itself consists of a rustico ground floor that is the foundation for two additional floors with renaissance style arches.

我们设计的底层公寓以前是以色列第一任总理大卫·本·古里安(DavidBenGurion)的家，这给这栋建筑和公寓增添了历史意义和魔力。

The ground floor apartment we designed was previously the home of Israel’s first Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion which lends historic significance and magic to the building and the apartment.

为了在不损害立面和历史结构的情况下增加空间体积，我们设计并建造了一层地下室。(鼓掌)

In order to add volume to the space without harming the façade and the historical structure, we designed and constructed a basement floor.  

从工程的角度来看，工程的执行极为复杂，其中包括结构的悬挂和由临时梁和柱子组成的体系中的公寓天花板。

Execution of the work was extremely complex from an engineering point of view and included the suspension of the structure and the apartment’s ceilings from a system of temporary beams and pillars.

从地下室被添加到公寓的那一刻起，这就为公寓提供了一个新的、重要的元素，我们利用它在两层之间创造了一个很大的(相对于楼面面积)开阔的工作空间。(鼓掌)

From the moment that the basement was added to the apartment, this provided a new and significant element to the apartment which we exploited to create a large (in relation to the floor area) open, working space between the floors.

因此，我们创造了两层之间的视觉和物理接触与一种新的，6米，钢柱加强强大的垂直线。

Thus we created both visual and physical contact between the two floors with a new, 6 meter, steel pillar enhancing the powerful vertical line.

由于我们创造的建筑元素是全新的，我们注意不要隐藏它们，而是让它们暴露出来，以便讲述翻修的“故事”。

Since the construction elements we created were totally new, we took care not to hide them but left them exposed in order to tell the “story” of the renovation.

为了维护和尊重传统和过去，为公寓翻修选择的材料都是原材料(墙壁和天花板上的裸露混凝土、横梁和柱子用的钢、壁橱正面的铁和手轨用不锈钢网)。

In order to preserve and respect the tradition and the past, the materials chosen for the apartment’s renovation were all raw materials (exposed concrete in walls and ceilings, steel for the beams and pillars, iron for the facades of the closets and stainless steel net for hand rails).

现代设计与20世纪30年代的新古典结构相结合，使设计师在一个项目中创造了一个充满对比和张力的世界；在优雅与工业之间，在原始与观赏性之间，在简单与复杂之间，它们共同丰富了建筑的结构，以及空间与其中的关系，并在一个空间中讲述了两个时期的故事。

The combination of modern design and the neo-classical structure from the 1930’s enabled the designer to create a world full of contrasts and tensions combined in one project; between elegant and industrial, between raw and ornamental, between simple and complex.  Together, they enrich the structure, both architecturally as well as the relationships between the space and those in it, and tell the tale of two periods in one space.

开放的阳台，毗邻的庭院铺在水磨石上，就像公寓的空间一样，在公寓和外面喧闹的城市环境之间充当着一个安静而优雅的半岛。

The open balcony, the adjacent courtyard paved in terrazzo just as are the apartment’s spaces, act as a silent and elegant peninsular between the apartment and the noisy, urban surroundings of the outside world.

所有的家具都是精心挑选出来的，以补充两个时期之间的共同文化。一抹红色的油漆也象征着稀薄与工业风格的结合，以及公寓最初时期的古典典雅。新空间成功地利用了过去的芬芳，改变了作为当代空间的公寓。在同一时间，成功地尊重它的传统，同时放弃自己，以一种赤裸裸的暗示，从装饰，新古典风格。

All the furniture was carefully chosen to complement the common culture that connects between two periods in time.  A touch of red paint also symbolizes the combination between rawness and industrial styling and the classical elegance of the apartment’s original period.  The new space succeeds in exploiting the fragrances of the past, transforming the apartment that is experienced as a contemporary space  that that, at one and the same time, succeeds in honoring its tradition whilst renouncing itself, with a bare hint,  from the ornamental, neo-classical style.
