Second Floor Plan - Myrtle House

二楼图则-美特尔大厦

坐落在伦敦南部一个树木林立的街区内；一个独特的地方地标已被仔细整修，并被设计成四座优雅的房子。在17格罗夫公园的旧圣约翰会议和果园已经被赋予了一个新的生机，通过结合丰富的历史的原始维多利亚建筑与新的当代空间和干预措施。每间房子有5层以上，面积超过4000平方英尺。

Set within a tree lined neighbourhood in South London; a distinctive local landmark has been attentively refurbished and crafted into four elegant houses. The Old St John’s Convent and Orchard at 17 Grove Park has been given a fresh lease of life through combining the rich history of the original Victorian building with new contemporary spaces and interventions. Each house is set over 5 floors and spans over 4000 square feet.

作为一个开放的单一空间，大房间地板提供了三个不同的区域，在修道院的原始底层，同时仍保持在整个楼层的开放对话。

Conceived as an open single space, the Great Room Floor provides three distinct areas within the original ground floor of the convent, whilst still maintaining an open dialogue across the floor.

橡木图书馆单元在大房间里形成了中央的“家具墙”。隐蔽的全高度门允许空间自由地围绕着它流动，创造了一个流动的空间。熏蒸橡木细木工与熏蒸橡木楼梯有关，将中心核的垂直性带入空间动态。

The oak library unit forms a central ‘furniture wall’ in the Great Room. Concealed full height doors allow space to flow freely around it, creating a fluid space. The fumed oak joinery relates to the fumed oak stair, bringing the verticality of the central core into the spatial dynamic.

五层高的橡木楼梯是使用标准截面尺寸的支柱建造的，它们被层叠成一种定制的形式。在一个车间里，这些元素在现场组装成一个无缝的飞行，从房子的核心升起。细节被简化到一个最小的-只有两种类型的楔形的支柱被用来实现楼梯的内外曲线，这既是钢丝绳，也是扶手。

The five-storey oak stair is constructed using staves of standard section sizes that were laminated into a bespoke form. Crafted in a workshop, the elements were assembled on-site into a seamless flight that rises through the core of the house. Detailing is reduced to a minimum - just two types of wedged-shaped staves were used to achieve the inner and outer curves of the stair, which serves as both stringer and handrail.

厨房与餐饮

Kitchen and Dining

每所房子的中心都是一个烹饪和用餐的空间，位于戏剧性的六米“双高”空隙之下。它由一扇高满的橡木窗和滑动门构成，可以看到远处的花园和露台。室内与室外融为一体；在一间光线充足的房间里为烹饪、饮食和娱乐提供了一个花园背景。如果需要的话，双面空间可以用来创造两种截然不同的氛围，每一种氛围都有自己的氛围，用于休闲的家庭用餐和更有条理的正式用餐。一块整体式抛光平板地板将空间统一起来，而存储和实用设施则整齐地隐藏在定制的橱柜和木材覆盖的墙壁后面。厨房本身是用烟熏橡木制作的，镶有黑色花岗岩橡木门和意大利白色大理石工作台面。

At the heart of each house is a cooking and dining space situated under a dramatic six-metre ‘double height’ void. Framed by a full height oak window and sliding door, it has vistas onto the gardens and terrace beyond. Inside merges with outside; giving a garden backdrop to cooking, eating and entertaining in one light-filled room. The double aspect space can be used to create two distinct atmospheres if desired, each with their own ambiance, for casual family dining and more structured formal dining. A monolithic polished screed floor unifies the space while storage and utility are concealed neatly behind bespoke cupboards and timber clad walls. The kitchen itself is crafted from fumed oak with framed black granite oak doors and an Italian white marble worktop.
