The project brief was to refurbish the original 1960’s interior which has never been touched by the previous owners. It wasn’t a very complicated brief for us to create a modern and contemporary open space living area as the client was open to any ideas.

项目简介是对1960年原有的内部结构进行整修，以前的业主从未碰过它。对于我们来说，创建一个现代和现代的开放空间并不是一件非常复杂的事情，因为客户对任何想法都是开放的。

Our concept design for the renovation was to create a sense of a larger “apartment style” living space with most of the cost spent removing load bearing walls and providing a new structure to support the existing roof above.

我们的概念设计是为了创造一个更大的“公寓风格”居住空间的感觉，花费的大部分费用拆除承重墙，并提供一个新的结构，以支持现有屋顶以上。

The existing original worn out mauve carpet was discarded followed by the removal of the existing vinyl in the kitchen and laundry which was turned out contain asbestos. The removal of the asbestos didn’t help us with the restricted renovation budget.

原来破旧的紫红色地毯被丢弃，厨房和洗衣房中现有的乙烯基被移除，原来的衣物中含有石棉。拆除石棉无助于有限的翻修预算。

Although we were given the freedom to be creative, at the same time we also had a constrained budget as a challenge to create and achieve this modern and contemporary open space living area.

虽然我们获得了创作的自由，但与此同时，我们也面临着有限的预算，这是创造和实现这一现代和当代开放空间的挑战。

We were so pleased to find the existing timber floor was all in a very good condition and only needed sanding then stained in a darker tone and finished with a glossy coating for richness.

我们很高兴地发现，现有的木材地板都处于非常好的状态，只需要打磨，然后用更深的色调染色，最后涂上一层光滑的涂层，以求丰富。

The existing wallpapered and uneven walls and ceilings were also removed and reconstructed with new walls and ceiling that were given layers of white paint to achieve a crisp contemporary sense of volume contrasting from the darker tone timber floor.

现有的墙纸和凹凸不平的墙壁和天花板也被拆除和重建了新的墙壁和天花板，这些墙和天花板被赋予了一层白色的油漆，以实现与深色色调木材地板形成鲜明的当代体积感。

Continuing the contrasting theme by applying a wood like laminate for the new extensive joinery to complement the existing tasmanian oak timber floor after it was renewed and stained in Black Japan. The use of the vivid white for the walls took several extra layers of paint in order to achieve a pure crisp white and expansive feel.

继续对比主题，应用一种新的广泛细木工木料，以补充现有的塔斯马尼亚橡木地板后，更新和染色，在黑色的日本。使用生动的白色为墙壁采取了几层额外的油漆，以实现一种纯粹，清爽，白色和膨胀的感觉。

In step with our modern living needs the kitchen, dining and entertaining area were created in the new large space that resulted from the removal of walls and also including wasted hall space. The idea was that anyone can entertain while also doing the preparation in the kitchen as there is no visual barrier any more.

为了配合我们现代生活的需要，厨房、餐厅和娱乐区在拆除墙壁所产生的新的大空间中被创造出来，同时也包括了浪费的大厅空间。这个想法是，任何人都可以娱乐，同时也在厨房做准备，因为不再有视觉障碍。

The man-made materials such as a laminate product for the finish to the new joinery pieces helps us to keep the renovation within the budget. Led lighting throughout the spaces to provides low maintenance and durability. We have reinvigorated the unexciting, worn out original 1960s villa unit in a secluded inner eastern Melbourne suburb to a “modern inner-city apartment” within the constrained budget.

人造材料，如用于完成新细木工件的层压板产品，有助于我们保持在预算范围内的翻新。LED照明贯穿整个空间，提供低维护性和耐久性。我们已经恢复活力，在一个与世隔绝的东部墨尔本郊区的一个与世隔绝的内墨尔本郊区的乏味，破旧的20世纪60年代的别墅单元，在有限的预算范围内的“现代内城公寓”。

Some of this feeling was achieved with the removal of walls and adding new timber beams to support the roof above. By relining the ceiling and walls with new plasterboards and a fresh coat of crisp white paint create this expansive fresh and crisp new interior to the property. White sheer curtains installed in front of narrow venetian blinds softened the existing window and yet accentuate the existing ceiling height.

一些这种感觉是通过拆除墙壁和增加新的木梁来支撑上面的屋顶来实现的。通过重新装饰天花板和墙壁，用新的石膏板和一层崭新的白漆，创造出这个宽敞、清新、新的内部结构。在狭窄的百叶窗前安装的白色透明窗帘，软化了现有的窗户，但却突出了现有的天花板高度。
