架构师提供的文本描述。为AG Leventis基金会提供餐厅和公寓的新艺术画廊，这是一个私人基金会，支持促进希腊文化的教育、文化和慈善事业。这种被侵蚀的建筑形式受到当地对塞浦路斯气候挑战的反应的启发，在坚实和空虚之间制造了一种脆弱的游戏，产生了一系列公共和私人的庭院和花园，这些庭院和花园连接着街道和北边的五旬节山脉，与尼科西亚的古代和当代地区产生了共鸣。

Text description provided by the architects. A new art gallery with restaurant and apartments for the AG Leventis Foundation, a private foundation supporting educational, cultural and philanthropic causes which promotes Hellenic culture. The eroded building form is inspired by the vernacular response to Cyprus’s climatic challenges, creating a tenuous play between solid and void and generating a series of courtyards and gardens, both public and private, which connect to the street and the spectacular views to the Pentadaktylos Mountains to the north and resonate with both ancient and contemporary quarters of Nicosia.

事实证明，建立一个新的文化中心，既体现了家庭收藏的个性，又有助于尼科西亚的复兴，这是一项令人感兴趣的挑战。精心设计的洞口为城市提供了景观，将艺术和艺术品的收藏与更广泛的文化背景联系起来。天窗的采光设计以排除有害的紫外线，淹没了画廊，上面两层是由光轴连接的。

Creating a new cultural centre that embodies the personality of the family collection and also contributes to the regeneration of Nicosia has proved an interesting challenge. Carefully orientated openings provide views to the city, connecting the collection of art and artefacts to a broader cultural context. Daylighting from rooflights designed to exclude harmful UV, floods the galleries, the upper two stories of which are connected by light shafts.

每套公寓都占据了塔的一整层，阳台朝南，向西，并有海湾，北至山。宽敞的客厅/厨房面向南、东、北，为您提供了壮观的视野，俯瞰尼科西亚中部，以及中央的黑橡树脊柱包括服务空间。

Each apartment occupies an entire floor of the tower with balconies facing south, west and, interspersed with bays, north to the mountains. A generous living room/kitchen facing south, east and north provides a spectacular eyrie overlooking central Nicosia and a central spine of dark oak embraces service spaces.

莱文提斯的灵感来自传统的塞人建筑-当地的石制建筑，开着狭小、百叶窗的开口，不受夏季酷热的影响，但为了让冬季的阳光穿透，我们挑战了人们普遍使用的薄、开缝的石头雨幕，并开始用细腻的细节和紧密的凡人接缝来体现传统石材建筑的同质性。

Leventis is inspired by traditional Cypriot architecture of local stone with small, shuttered openings which exclude the fierce heat in summer but open to allow the winter sun to penetrate.We challenged the prevailing use of thin, open-jointed stone rain screens and set out to echo the homogeneity of the traditional stone buildings with their fine detail and tight mortared joints.

当地的规划政策在很大程度上决定了建筑的占地面积和外部空间的需求，导致创建了一个由三层楼高的画廊组成的庭院，并向街道开放。

Local planning policies largely dictated the building footprint and the requirement for external space led to the creation of a courtyard embraced by the three storey gallery and open to the street.

莱文提斯画廊位于尼科西亚的一部分，最初是在19世纪末基奇纳勋爵的指导下发展起来的，当时是15世纪威尼斯城墙外的第一次城市化浪潮。从19世纪的两层别墅到21世纪的商业大厦，这座遗址的邻里都是不同世代的邻居。我们的建筑在这些极端之间起到了中介作用，并治愈了城市粮食，特别是莱昂尼杜街的分裂。

The Leventis Gallery is located in a part of Nicosia originally developed under the guidance of Lord Kitchener in the late 19th century in the first wave of urbanisation outside the fifteenth century Venetian city walls. The site is adjoined by neighbours of different generations – from the two storey villas of the nineteenth century to commercial towers of the 21stcentury. Our building mediates between these extremes and heals the disjunction in the grain of the city and in Leonidou Street in particular.

为具有历史意义的尼科西亚提供石料的采石场位于被占领土内，因此，我们使用的是巴勒斯坦石灰石，这种石灰石很容易就坐落在它的环境中

The quarries which supplied the stone for historic Nicosia lie within the occupied territory so we have used Palestinian limestone which sits easily in its context.

呼应传统使用板条木百叶窗，开口和阳台是用穿孔的金属面板，其定制模式的灵感来自威廉莫里斯的橄榄叶设计。青铜阳极铝(也用于幕墙和玻璃)在明亮的光线下与石头几乎相同的颜色，当百叶窗被移动以接纳或排除太阳时，表面的坚固性被改变。

Echoing the traditional use of slatted timber shutters, openings and balconies are screened with perforate metal panels, the bespoke patterning of which was inspired by William Morris’s olive leaf design. The bronze anodised aluminium (also used for curtain walling and glazing)is rendered almost the same colour as the stone in bright light, and as shutters are moved to admit or exclude sun the apparent solidity is transformed.

莱文提斯画廊和公寓的设计是为了尽量减少能源的使用，避免潜在的有害太阳能获取，加强隔热和密封，并在可行的情况下使用采光。与许多轻巧、高釉度的邻居相比，一个有着精心遮阳开口的重量级建筑，对耗能系统的依赖程度将大大降低，但在夏季的几个月里，它仍将需要冷却。地热能是利用铸造线圈提供的背景加热和冷却，恒温20摄氏度。

The Leventis Gallery and apartments are designed to minimise energy use by avoiding potentially harmful solar gains, enhanced insulation and airtightness and use of daylighting wherever feasible. A heavyweight structure with carefully shaded openings will be less reliant on energy hungry systems than many of its lightweight, highly glazed neighbours, but will still require cooling through the summer months. Geothermal energy is harnessed via cast-in coils to provide background heating and cooling with a constant temperature of 20 degrees celsius.
