Handling the relationship between old and new can be a tricky task in architecture and achieving the right balance between the two is an often elusive goal; yet the masterful approach Hasa Architects took in its latest residential project, an apartment interior in a listed terrace in London’s Mayfair, ticks all the right boxes.

在建筑领域，处理新旧关系可能是一项棘手的任务，在两者之间实现恰当的平衡往往是一个难以捉摸的目标；然而，Hasa建筑公司在其最新的住宅项目中所采取的巧妙做法-在伦敦梅费尔(MayFair)上市的露台上的一套公寓内部-都是正确的选择。

When Hasa directors, Mark Stevens and Charlotte Harris, were called upon to refresh a space within a Grade II-listed Georgian building in one of London’s most affluent districts, they knew they had a real challenge on their hands. ‘It can often be difficult working with old structures, especially listed buildings’, says Stevens. ‘Understanding the history and context is fundamental. We always look to retain and repair the original fabric and our approach to any alteration is limited, with subtle changes that can be reversed’.

当哈萨董事马克·史蒂文斯(Mark Stevens)和夏洛特·哈里斯(夏洛特·哈里斯)被要求更新位于伦敦最富裕地区之一的格鲁吉亚二级建筑内的空间时，他们知道自己面临着真正的挑战。史蒂文斯说，使用旧建筑，尤其是上市建筑，往往很困难。理解历史和背景是根本。我们总是希望保留和修复原有的织物，我们的任何改变都是有限的，细微的变化是可以逆转的。

The relatively new studio was pleased to secure the commission, having pitched against several other practices. ‘The property was tired and in a state of disrepair,’ explains Stevens, ‘so we knew that any intervention would make a significant transformation. We were particular interested in the generous floor-to-ceiling height on the principal floor and by the level of the natural daylight. We wanted to remove the intrusive alterations that had been introduced and to return these rooms back to their original proportions’.

相对较新的工作室很高兴获得了委员会的支持，反对其他几种做法。史蒂文斯解释说，房产已经很累了，处于失修状态，所以我们知道任何干预都会带来重大的转变。我们特别感兴趣的是主地板上的地板到天花板的高度，以及天光的高度。我们想要删除已引入的侵入性改动，并将这些房间恢复到原来的比例‘。

The project, commissioned by owner Sundip Vyas, who also acted as the developer, revolved around the transformation of a first floor flat into an elegant, modern private home. Keen to work with the existing character of the architecture, the team worked hard at removing years’ worth of paint and restoring original details and decor, such as mouldings and the dentilled cornice.

该项目由业主SundieVyas委托，他也是开发商，围绕着将一层公寓改造成一座优雅、现代的私人住宅。渴望与现有的建筑特征，团队努力消除多年的油漆和恢复原来的细节和装饰，如模具和牙缝檐。

Now, a restrained design enriches the space by working with the historical elements, rather than trying to upstage them. Refreshed original features sit side by side harmoniously with contemporary, minimalist cabinetry and marble and metal work. ‘It was important that the programme of inhabitation not dominate the architectural space’, explain Hasa. ‘This is successfully achieved through the use of minimal interventions in the form of freestanding joinery, panelling, and sliding and folding planes.‘

现在，一个有限的设计丰富了空间与历史元素，而不是试图超越他们。清新的原始特征与当代的、极简的橱柜、大理石和金属制品齐头并进。“重要的是，居住计划不能主宰建筑空间”，哈萨解释道。“这是通过使用最小的干预手段，如独立细木工、镶板、滑动和折叠平面来成功实现的。”

By inserting a mezzanine floor and a sharply designed staircase, the architects capitalised on space by placing the master bedroom, which is lined in solid American oil-finished white oak, upstairs. Directly below is the kitchen and dining area (featuring an Arabescato marble island), leading through to a generous entry hall and the majestic, high ceilinged living room beyond. Off the bedroom on the mezzanine is a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom. The staircase also connects to a second, smaller bedroom at the rear of the property.

通过插入一层阁楼和一个设计精巧的楼梯，建筑师们充分利用了空间，把主卧室放在楼上，这间卧室内衬着结实的美国油炸白橡木。正下方是厨房和餐厅(特色是阿拉贝斯卡托大理石岛)，通往一个宽敞的入口大厅和宏伟的，天花板高的起居室。在阁楼的卧室外，有一个步入式衣柜和套房浴室。楼梯还连接到第二个，较小的卧室在后面的财产。

The new elements can be read clearly as such, while an overall pared-down approach and neutral colour palette underline Hasa Architects’ delicate touch. The apartment is currently on the market. §
