架构师提供的文本描述。墨尔本港已迅速成为墨尔本开发中低层混合用途公寓楼的主要居住郊区之一。无敌舰队也不例外，它代表了一种建筑风格，它既具有视觉吸引力，又具有实用性。

Text description provided by the architects. Port Melbourne has fast become one of the key residential suburbs of Melbourne to develop low and mid rise mixed use apartment buildings. Armada is no exception and represents a style of architecture that is both visually intriguing, yet practical. 

位于墨尔本诺特街港口，这些现代的低层公寓建议过往的船只，以及每天到达码头附近的集装箱。这些海洋主题启发了无敌舰队公寓的总体设计，并结合起来形成了一种既曲折又流线型的建筑，同时也有着坚实的基础和自信。

Located in Nott Street Port Melbourne, these contemporary low-rise apartments suggest the passing ships, as well as the shipping containers that arrive daily at the docks nearby. These maritime themes inspire the overall design of the Armada apartments and combine to produce an Architecture that is both sinuous and streamlined, while also being well grounded and assertive.

这座建筑包含了丰富的航海参考资料挂毯，以整体形式和所采用的重要性为特征。

The building comprises a rich tapestry of nautical references, which feature in the overall form and materiality adopted.

墨尔本港的工业历史及其作为水边生活目的地的重生成为无敌舰队设计背后的关键驱动因素。这座建筑的设计语言被分为两部分。底层参考现代海军建筑以及在港口工作环境中使用的机械。上层是一组帆的抽象-建筑名称背后的起源。

Port Melbourne's industrial history and its re-birth as a destination for waterside living became the key driving factors behind the design of Armada. The design language of the building has been broken into two elements. The lower level references modern day naval architecture as well as the machinery used in a working port environment. The upper levels are an abstraction of a group of sails – the genesis behind the name of the building.

然而，总体的设计意图并不仅仅是参考它的海洋环境，而是产生一种复杂的设计美学，既对周围环境表示敬意，又引起观众的兴趣。

However, the overall design intent was not to solely reference its maritime locale, but rather produce a sophisticated design aesthetic that both pays homage to its surroundings and intrigues the viewer.

无敌舰队的公寓被配置成提供了宽敞的居住空间，并最大限度地利用了自然日光。照明已被仔细考虑为整体设计的一个组成部分，美学和慷慨的露台区，增加了丰富的生活体验。

Armada apartments have been configured to provide generous living spaces and maximise the amount of natural daylight. Lighting has been carefully considered as an integral element of the overall design aesthetic and  generous terrace areas add to the richness of the living experience.

与一些拥有大量公共设施的公寓开发项目(如游泳池和健身房)不同，无敌舰队是为业主占用的市场设计的，每间公寓的面积略显大方(一间卧室50平方米，两间90平方米)。因此，虽然地下室停车场有两层，里面有供居民过度使用的钢制保持架，但在每套公寓里都可以找到“额外的”。例如，这套90平方米的公寓有一个清晰的入口，里面有大的隐蔽洗衣房和独立的洗衣房。这一划定也确保了180度的城市天际线景观不会在公寓的前门一打开就立即显露出来。

Unlike some apartment developments that have a plethora of communal facilities, such as a swimming pool and gymnasium, Armada was designed for the owner-occupier market, with the size of each apartment being slightly more generous (50 square metres for a one-bedroom and 90 square metres for two). So, while there are two levels of basement car parking, complete with steel cages for residents' excess, the ''extras'' can be found in each apartment. The 90-square-metre apartments, for example, feature a well-defined entrance with large concealed laundry and separate powder room. This delineation also ensures that 180-degree views of the city skyline are not immediately revealed as soon as the front door to the apartment is opened.

虽然无敌舰队的木材和钢铁正面是生动活泼的，带有切割的钢梯田，但大厅却吸引着你进入大楼。一堵弯曲的雪松墙，围绕着形成天花板，把居民送到电梯前，也把居民送到一个口袋大小的日式花园里。

While the timber and steel facade of Armada is animated, with cut-out steel terraces, it's the foyer that draws you into the building.  A curvaceous cedar wall, which wraps around to form a ceiling, delivers residents to the lifts as well as to a pocket-size Japanese style garden.
