The Brutalist apartment project brief called for the re-design of an inner city warehouse conversion in Camperdown, for a couple seeking a minimalist lifestyle with an interior to match. The clients, who work in design-related disciplines, sought to shed their home of unimportant accumulation and create a space free of clutter and visual pollution. Conceived of as a “concrete bunker”, the shell of the apartment has been informed by the designer’s penchant for Brutalist architecture. The principal intent was the creation of a pared back, geometric interior and a celebration of the neighborhood’s industrial heritage.

布鲁塔式公寓项目简介呼吁重新设计在坎佩顿市中心的仓库改造，一对夫妇寻求一种极简主义的生活方式与室内匹配。这些客户在设计相关学科工作，他们试图摆脱不重要的积累，创造一个没有杂乱和视觉污染的空间。公寓的外壳被认为是“混凝土掩体”，这是设计师对布鲁塔式建筑的偏爱。其主要目的是创建一个修剪过的、几何的内部结构，以及庆祝邻里的工业遗产。

The west-facing open plan apartment features a custom kitchen and a mezzanine bedroom, which overlooks the living room space and a small terrace. The Brutalist loft is flooded with light from a full height, glazed wall, counterbalancing the interior mood, which is intentionally dark and brooding. All interior elements have been created as “raw and extruded concrete monoliths”, as seen in the fluted kitchen joinery, curved ceiling forms, and the cement-rendered bathroom. A homely “mid-century” touch has been introduced in the form of film-faced plywood and American Oak joinery, brass accents, and statement lighting. The furniture selection features geometric forms and a muted palette, underscoring the overall concept.

这套面向西面的开放式公寓有一个定制厨房和一个阁楼卧室，可以俯瞰客厅空间和一个小露台。布鲁塔式的阁楼充满了光线，从一个完整的高度，玻璃墙，平衡了内心的情绪，这是有意的黑暗和沉思。所有内部元素都被创造为“生的和挤压的混凝土单体”，如凹槽厨房细木工，弯曲天花板形式和水泥渲染浴室。一种家喻户晓的“世纪中叶”的触感已经以胶合板和美国橡木细木工、黄铜口音和陈述照明的形式被引入。家具选择的特点是几何形式和低调的调色板，突出了整体概念。

This interior eschews the cliched “industrial” warehouse aesthetic and ubiquitous “Sydney” design approach (read: natural/seaside/light, bright and airy), offering a fresh, yet site-specific take on the warehouse conversion category. Great lengths were taken to synthesize client direction and the specificity of the brief with a bold design approach. As a result, de-materialization is at the core of the concept, and all elements have been reduced to their bare essentials, resulting in a utilitarian, cave-like sanctuary that is also intimate, light-filled and homely.

这内部避开陈词滥调的“工业”仓库美学和无处不在的“悉尼”设计方法(阅读：自然/海滨/光，明亮和通风)，提供了一个新鲜的，但具体地点的仓库转换类别。用大胆的设计方法综合了客户的方向和简略的特殊性。因此，非物质化是这一概念的核心，所有元素都被简化为它们的基本要素，从而形成了一个实用的、洞穴般的避难所，它也是亲密、轻盈和朴素的。

Each design decision has been rooted in a practice of sustainability, resulting in a materials palette that is environmentally responsible (eg VOC-free finishes, strict use of FSC timbers, reduced use of chrome and cement) paired with a construction process that was streamlined to minimize waste. Given the project context of a residential warehouse conversion, it would have been natural to emulate any of the well-articulated examples in the genre. However, the designer has chosen to ignore the whims of a trend, opting for a unique approach that perfectly underscores the clients’ vision.

每个设计决策都植根于可持续的实践，导致材料调色板对环境负责（如无VOC饰面、严格使用FSC木材、减少铬和水泥的使用）与简化的施工过程相结合，以减少浪费。考虑到住宅仓库转换的项目背景，模拟流派中的任何清晰的示例都是自然的。然而，设计师已经选择忽略趋势的想法，选择一种完美强调客户愿景的独特方法。

Design innovation is evident in the skillful reduction of the functional components into simple geometric forms that are evocative. In addition, although the brief was a concrete box – remarkably very little cement has been used in its creation. The “solid” concrete elements are Glass Reinforced Cement (GRC) – which has far less weight and cement than traditional concrete techniques – and the “concrete finish”, has been achieved with a French Wash Porter’s Paint. This interior offers a probing look at the level of creativity and execution that can be achieved within a particularly restrained and pragmatic design approach.

设计创新体现在巧妙地将功能部件简化为简单的几何形式，这是令人印象深刻的。此外，尽管简介是一个混凝土盒子，但在其创建过程中使用的水泥非常少。“实心”混凝土元素是玻璃增强水泥(GRC)-它的重量和水泥比传统的混凝土工艺要轻得多-而“混凝土表面处理”是用法国Wash Porter的油漆实现的。这内部提供了一个探索水平的创造力和执行力，可以实现在一个特别克制和务实的设计方法。
