When you enter a penthouse duplex apartment and it feels like you’ve walked into a basement, something isn’t right. That is what happened when we first arrived to look at a project in the former parish house at St. George’s church. The building was converted into the ABBEY condominium in the 1990’s but the relationship between the interior and the 1888 Landmarked exterior was … unholy.

当你走进一套顶层复式公寓时，感觉就像走进了地下室，有些地方不对劲。这就是我们第一次来到圣乔治教堂前教区的房子里看一个项目时发生的事情。这座建筑在20世纪90年代被改建为阿比共管公寓，但内部与1888年地标外墙之间的关系是…。邪恶。

The design mission became to reconcile past sins- where dormer windows sat on the floor and other windows with great views were too high. We resolved to flood the interior with light and play up the drama of the angled walls. The demolition revealed beautiful historic steel structure that heretofore had been covered with drywall. The new design allows the most unique aspects of the space to inform the new layout. The existing metalwork remained exposed and inspired many of the architectural details, lighting and furniture choices.

设计任务变成了调和过去的罪恶我们决定用光淹没室内，并渲染出角墙的戏剧性。这次拆除揭示了历史上美丽的钢结构，这些钢结构迄今都是用干墙覆盖的。新的设计允许空间中最独特的方面为新的布局提供信息。现有的金属制品仍然暴露，并启发了许多建筑细节，照明和家具的选择。
