 Floor Plan

架构师提供的文本描述。我们的客户最初来找我们对他的公寓进行一些小改动，以更好地满足他的需要。在与他讨论时，得出的结论是，在改造了一次不适合他的公寓后，应彻底取消现有的适应办法，并采取更激进的办法。

Text description provided by the architects. Our client initially approached us to carry out some minor alterations to his apartment to better meet his needs. In discussion with him, the conclusion was reached that, having already had the apartment refitted once which did not work for him, the existing fit-out should be completely stripped out and a more radical approach adopted.

详细的讨论确定了客户希望如何使用空间，并确定了最初不需要的部分，如第二间卧室和浴室，允许一个更加轻松、灵活的生活/工作环境，专门为他的需求量身定做。

Detailed discussions established how the client wanted to use the space and identified elements of the original fit-out that were not needed, such as a second bedroom and bathroom, allowing a more relaxed, flexible live/work environment tailored specifically to his requirements.

他以前住在纽约，他很想让这套公寓更像一个仓库阁楼，反映出这个空间的工业特征和规模，之前的两次装修都是在抬高的地板、降低天花板和隔墙下面失去的。

Having previously lived in New York, he was keen for the apartment to feel more like a warehouse loft reflecting the industrial character and scale of the space, which the previous 2 fit-outs had lost beneath raised floors, lowered ceilings and partition walls.

存储，浴室和公用设施的功能包含在一个详细的街区，似乎是“停放”在角落，现在充分暴露了17米x 6米阁楼。一个类似详细的线性计数器块，辅之以相邻的冰箱/冷藏室和隐藏在主块末端的“咖啡厅”，提供烹饪区域。

Storage, bathroom and utility functions are contained within a sharply-detailed block which appears to be ‘parked’ in the corner of the now fully revealed 17m x 6m Loft. A similarly detailed linear counter block, supplemented by the adjacent fridge/freezer and ‘coffee larder’ concealed in the end of the main block, provides the cooking area.

我们的当事人说，他有时早上醒来，仍然无法相信他住在他理想的公寓里。在开放屋周末，他原本打算出去玩一天，但一进门，他对游客的反应非常高兴，他发现自己热情地解释了这套公寓的特色。

Our client says that he sometimes wakes up in the morning and still cannot quite believe that he is living in his ideal apartment. On Open House weekend, having initially intended to go out for the day, he delighted so much in the reactions of visitors upon entering that he found himself enthusiastically explaining the apartment’s features.

除了未完成的沥青松木地板(实际上不是原始的，是从威尔士礼拜堂打捞出来的，而是仓库原本应有的地板类型)，所有的表面和配件，包括裸露的砖块，都是白色的；清晰的机器制造质量的HiMacs实心丙烯酸完成厨房和服务块，使他们有别于更多的手工和时间风化表面纹理的原始工业建筑。

With the exception of the unfinished Pitch Pine plank floor (not actually original, having been salvaged from a Welsh Chapel, but the type of flooring that the warehouse would originally have had), all surfaces and fittings including exposed brickwork are finished in white; the crisp machine- made quality of the HiMacs solid acrylic finished kitchen and service blocks setting them apart from the more hand-made and time-weathered surface textures of the original Industrial building.

服务块内部的表面饰面都是深灰色的，突出了水果或宝石状物体的概念，外观光滑，与深色、更性感的果核形成鲜明对比。拆除以前的分区允许阳光从新暴露在南墙和西墙的窗户，使空间充满生气，以补充更柔和的光线，从几乎全玻璃的北墙，面向庭院的建筑物。

Surface finishes within the service block are all in dark grey, accenting the idea of a fruit or jewel- case-like object with a smooth exterior skin contrasting with a darker, more sensual core. Removal of previous sub-divisions allows shafts of sunlight from the newly-exposed windows in the South and West walls to animate the space to supplement the softer light from the almost fully glazed North wall which faces the courtyard of the building.

在露天阁楼的一端，隐藏的滑动墙允许睡觉区域在需要时被完全封闭。在另一边，一张全宽的桌子和架子，也是用白色的HiMacs完成的，为摄影师的主人提供了一个工作区。拖曳电缆的问题是由一个连续的电缆托盘沿着桌子的背面，覆盖着升降襟翼。

At one end of the open Loft, a concealed sliding wall allows the sleeping area to be fully enclosed if required. At the other, a full width desk and shelf, also finished in white HiMacs, provide a work area for the photographer owner. The problem of trailing cables is removed by a continuous cable tray along the back of the desk, covered by lift up flaps.
