Hong Kong, 22 January 2019 – Lim   Lu, the New York-founded multidisciplinary design practice, announces the transformation of a 1,200 square feet vacation-like haven that was previously abandoned for over 15 years in Hong Kong’s Quarry Bay neighborhood.

香港，2019年1月22日-由纽约创立的多学科设计事务所林路(Lim Lu)宣布，将改造一个面积1200平方英尺(约合1.2万平方米)的度假胜地，这个度假胜地此前在香港的鲤鱼涌社区被遗弃了15年以上。

The story is a fascinating one. The flat’s previous owner, who resided in the apartment for most of his life, left Hong Kong over 15 years ago and left everything behind. When Lim   Lu visited the site last year, it seemed like time had stood still. Everything had been kept exactly in its original location, reminiscent of a classic Wong Kar Wai movie.

这个故事是一个迷人的故事。公寓的前主人，住在公寓里度过了一生的大部分时间，15年前离开了香港，把一切都留下了。去年LimLu访问了该网站时，似乎是时候了。一切都保持在原来的位置，让人想起了一个经典的黄家卫电影。

The new owners, one of them is co-founder of boutique developer District 15, are no stranger to refitting old properties. They are also a nature-loving couple with a passion for relics. Their sentiment towards the building’s old characteristics remains true. As a result, Lim   Lu decided that the chipped concrete beams throughout the apartment were to remain untouched. The faded jade and orange hue beams juxtaposed with the new pristine white walls, and complements the warm palette of oak and brass accents throughout the apartment.

新业主，其中一位是精品开发商15区的联合创始人，对改造旧房产并不陌生。他们也是一对热爱大自然的夫妇，热爱文物。他们对这座建筑物的旧特性的看法仍然是真实的。因此，林鲁决定，整个公寓的混凝土裂缝梁将保持不变。褪色的玉和橙色的光束与新的原始白色墙壁并置，补充了整个公寓里温暖的橡木和黄铜的调色板。

More so, the couple wished for the Quarry Bay Residence to be awash with elements of surprise, things unique to this apartment and this apartment alone. “The idea that time could be used as part of the material palette was incredibly poetic” says Lim   Lu co-founder Vince Lim, adding that the space contained a patina that could not be replicated with modern processes.

更有甚者，这对夫妇希望这间公寓和这套公寓的独特之处都充满了令人惊讶的元素。“把时间作为材料调色板的一部分的想法非常富有诗意。”林路的联合创始人文斯·林(VinceLim)说。他补充说，这个空间包含着一种无法用现代工艺复制的帕蒂纳(Patina)。

Located on the major artery of a densely populated area, the apartment has direct sightlines into apartment units and offices across the street. For this reason, Lim   Lu focused on creating internal views the couple could enjoy.

该公寓位于人口稠密地区的主干道上，直通街道对面的公寓单元和办公室。出于这个原因，林鲁专注于创造这对夫妻可以欣赏的内部观点。

Upon entry of the revamped 1,200 square feet apartment, one is greeted by a full-height oak slat shoe closet with a puncture carved out and finished in brass. The window acts as a valet at the entrance, but more importantly, offers a glimpse of the open kitchen on the other side. Framing devices populate the apartment’s walls to offer moments of emphasis on relics from the couple’s travel adventures.

一进入改造后的1200平方英尺的公寓，其中一个是一个全高橡木板鞋壁橱与穿孔雕刻和完成黄铜。窗户在入口处充当一个侍从，但更重要的是，在另一边提供了一个开放式厨房的一瞥。在公寓墙壁上架设框架装置，让人们对这对夫妇的旅行冒险中的遗物给予更多的重视。

The brief prepared by the client read: “When we enter the apartment, we want to forget about where we are in the world and leave the city behind us.” Lim   Lu decided to bring elements of nature into the space, transforming this new home into a haven to escape from the fast-paced lifestyle of the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong. The view of offices and apartments across the street from the living room windows are replaced by a row of lush greenery. The aesthetic is clean, fresh, and sophisticated. Pairing materials such as warm oak, woven wicker, and volcanic slate allows inhabitants and visitors alike to be transported to an island getaway.

客户准备的简报写道：“当我们进入公寓时，我们想忘记我们在世界上的位置，把城市抛在身后。”林鲁决定把大自然的元素带入太空，把这个新家改造成一个避风港，以摆脱香港喧嚣的快节奏生活方式。客厅窗户对面的办公室和公寓的景色被一排茂盛的绿色植物所取代。美学是干净的，新鲜的，复杂的。像温暖的橡木、编织的柳条和火山石板这样的配对材料，使居民和游客都可以被运送到岛上度假。
