Two professors of mathematics who reside an hour’s drive from Toronto wanted to have a flexible pied-à-terre in the city. They purchased a 900 sf loft within a former chocolate factory and asked PLANT to renovate it in a way that would enable them to use the space as either a two-bedroom condominium or a one-bedroom unit with an expanded living area.

两位住在多伦多一小时车程的数学教授想在这个城市有一个灵活的平台。他们在一家前巧克力工厂购买了一套900 SF的阁楼，并要求工厂对其进行改造，使其能够将这一空间用作一套两居室共管公寓或一居室单元，并扩大其起居面积。

Our solution was to insert a wall that passes through the high-ceilinged unit on a gentle dogleg stretching from the hallway entry to the front of the building. Transitioning from mostly glazed at the street edge to entirely wood veneered closer to the entry, a series of sliding doors in this wall makes it possible to close off the northeast corner of the loft’s cube-like volume when a second bedroom is required, or append this space to the living room when the owners need only one bedroom. Near the entry, the wall also conceals a new bathroom and laundry room.

我们的解决方案是在从走廊入口延伸到大楼前部的一条平缓的狗腿上插入一堵墙，穿过高天花板的单元。这堵墙上的一系列滑动门从街道边缘的大部分玻璃变成了靠近入口的全木板，这样就可以在需要第二间卧室时，关闭阁楼立方体状体积的东北角，或者在业主只需要一间卧室的时候，把这一空间附加到客厅里。在入口处附近，墙壁还隐藏了一个新的浴室和洗衣房。

In keeping with the owners’ passion for numbers, many aspects of the Chocolate Loft are visual manifestations of mathematical formulas. The pattern CNC-routed into the cherry wood-veneered Baltic Birch plywood panels of the entry niche’ s feature wall depicts nested parabolas; the shifting ratio of translucent glazing to wood veneer on the sliding doors embodies the Fibonacci sequence; and even the tile pattern in the bathroom expresses a mathematical sequence in two dimensions.

为了与主人对数字的热情保持一致，巧克力阁楼的许多方面都是数学公式的视觉表现。进入壁龛特征墙的樱桃木贴面波罗的海桦木胶合板上的网纹描绘了嵌套的抛物线；滑动门上半透明玻璃与木板的移动比率体现了斐波纳契序列；甚至浴室中的瓷砖图案也在二维上表达了数学顺序。

For tonal and textural consistency, all of the slip-matched veneer of the wall and entry niche was sliced from a single flitch of cherry wood. This project also includes new lighting throughout the loft, a refinished kitchen with new cabinetry and a colourful backsplash, and a new rift-sawn white oak floor.

为了色调和纹理的一致性，所有的滑动匹配的墙面和入口壁龛被切割从一个单一的樱桃木材。这个项目还包括整个阁楼的新照明，重新装修的厨房与新的橱柜和彩色的背溅，以及一个新的裂痕锯白橡木地板。
