In the heart of the stunning city of Barcelona, Spain, design and architecture teams at META Studio recently completed a stunning residential project in which they transformed an old textile factory into a unique and breathtaking loft home!

在西班牙巴塞罗那这座令人惊叹的城市中心，MetaStudio的设计和建筑团队最近完成了一个令人惊叹的住宅项目，他们将一家古老的纺织厂改造成一个独特而令人叹为观止的阁楼。

In Barcelona’s Gracia district, nestled into the urban, slightly industrial setting, sits the Textile Factory Loft, a project that a pair of the local company’s architects did for themselves and currently reside in. When they originally came across the factory, it wasn’t much more than an empty space with a solid frame for structure, but they saw nothing but potential.

在巴塞罗纳的格雷西亚区，坐落在城市的轻微工业背景下，坐落着纺织厂阁楼，这是当地公司的两位建筑师为自己做的项目，目前居住在这个项目中。当他们最初遇到这家工厂时，它只不过是一个空旷的空间，有一个坚固的结构框架，但他们看到的只是潜力。

When the main architects, a married couple, bought the textile factory in 2013, it was being used by a painter as a storage and studio space. Despite some natural wear and tear and the need for a good dusting, it was in quite good condition and the high ceilings, which would provide space for a floor of regular heigh and a small loft space, pretty much made the decision for them.

2013年，两位主要的建筑师-一对已婚夫妇-买下了这家纺织厂，当时它正被一位画家用作储藏室和工作室。尽管有一些自然磨损和需要良好的除尘，但它的状况相当好，天花板很高，这将提供一个地板的正常高和一个小阁楼空间，基本上决定了他们。

Besides the fantastic space the building offered, the couple were also beyond intrigued by the backstory of its life as a textiles factory before it became a studio and eventually their home. A building with a bit of history always makes for a more interesting project, after all!

除了这座建筑提供的奇妙空间外，这对夫妇还对它作为一家纺织厂的生活背景感兴趣，直到它成为一间工作室，并最终成为他们的家。毕竟，一座有一点历史的建筑，总是会成为一个更有趣的项目！

The factory was built in the early 1900s when most factories in Catalonia were textile based. Dubbed Frabrica Grober, it was taken over about 20 years ago after its doors closed by artists looking for creative spaces. Over time, the area became primarily residential, so the loft actually isn’t the only commercial-turned-residential property in the neighbourhood.

这家工厂建于1900年代初，当时加泰罗尼亚的大多数工厂都是以纺织品为基础的。被称为FrabicaGrober，在20年前的门关闭后，艺术家们在寻找创意空间。随着时间的推移，该地区主要是住宅，因此阁楼实际上并不是居民区唯一的商业住宅物业。

Despite the open look of the current ground floor, which has a lovely flow, privacy was actually one of the biggest priorities when the loft was redesigned. This is why the public, social, and “day space” is all located in the double height areas downstairs, while the upstairs area is saved exclusively for more intimate spaces; in this case, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

尽管目前底层的外观很开放，而且流量很大，但在重新设计阁楼时，隐私实际上是最优先考虑的事项之一。这就是为什么公共空间、社交空间和“日间空间”都位于楼下的双高区域，而楼上的空间则专供更亲密的空间使用；在这种情况下，只有两间卧室和一间浴室。

The sleeping area in this loft is afforded a little extra privacy on top of the division in floors because, before you reach it on your journey upstairs, you’re greeted by a small library that sits on the mezzanine. Besides being a relaxing space, the library serves as a sort of barrier between the day space and the quiet upstairs sleep haven in the loft itself.

这个阁楼的睡眠区在楼层的隔间顶部提供了一些额外的隐私，因为在你到达楼上之前，你会看到一个坐落在阁楼上的小图书馆。除了是一个放松的空间，图书馆在白天的空间和楼上安静的睡眠港湾在阁楼本身之间充当了一种屏障。

In terms of decor, the designers chose subtle, natural palettes that suited the materiality and made the space feel cozy rather than cramped where the low ceiling swoops over the loft to make room for the high ceiling in the day space. For example, industrial black metal brace beams are contrasted and balanced with wooden ones inset into the ceilings.

在装饰方面，设计师们选择了微妙的、自然的调色板，这些调色板适合于物质性，使空间感觉舒适，而不是狭窄的地方，低天花板俯冲到阁楼上方，为白天空间中的高天花板腾出空间。例如，工业用黑色金属支撑梁与嵌在天花板上的木质支撑梁进行对比和平衡。

Believe it or not, the loft isn’t actually the highest point in the home! on the rooftop, accessed through a subtle staircase in the further top corner of the home, is a red tiled rooftop patio with a lovely, sunny seating area. This space gets a fantastic breeze and gives visitors a lovely view of the surrounding city.

信不信由你，阁楼其实不是家里的最高点！在屋顶，通过一个微妙的楼梯，在更远的顶部角落，是一个红色瓷砖屋顶露台与一个可爱的，阳光灿烂的座位区。这一空间有一股美妙的微风，让游客可以看到周围城市的美丽景色。
