建筑师：大棚建筑

Site: The award-winning 1310 East Union Building designed by the Miller Hull Partnership for Seattle-based developers, Dunn   Hobbes, accommodates eight loft-style condominiums with big views of the surrounding neighborhood.

地点：由米勒赫尔公司为西雅图开发商设计的1310号东联大厦，邓恩霍布斯，容纳八个阁楼风格的共管公寓与周围社区的大视野。

Program: To add functional elements to the Capitol Hill Loft space that blended with the building’s original palette of concrete floors, zinc plated pan-decking ceiling, and blackened steel beams and railings.

计划：在国会山阁楼空间中添加功能元素，将其与建筑物原有的混凝土地板调色板、镀锌平底板天花板以及变黑的钢梁和栏杆混合在一起。

Design: The client, a young couple who work nearby, came to the firm with an original layout that did not harmonize with everyday living patterns; an exposed entry way, lack of storage and oversized hallway left no place to hide. Inserting a mix of texture, raw materials and functional elements, the new additions were artfully married with the original industrial construction using a palette of concrete brick, stainless steel plate, blackened steel and mirror.

设计：客户是在附近工作的一对年轻夫妇，来到公司时，公司的布局与日常生活模式不协调；门廊裸露，缺乏存储空间，过道面积过大，留下了无处可藏的地方。新增加的材料将质地、原材料和功能元素混合在一起，与原来的工业建筑巧妙地结合在一起，采用混凝土砖、不锈钢板、黑钢和镜子组成的调色板。

In the kitchen, the counter was extended beyond the original range to create a protected entry way and more generous kitchen space. The brick found in the backsplash and island was chosen for its sympathetic materiality that is forceful enough to blend in with the native steel, while the boldly grained Zebra wood casework adds warmth and character. The new island houses valuable additional storage, a built-in microwave (a playful “curly cord” hanging from the ceiling provides the power) and informal seating for four. Its wood top is easy on the elbows while the 3/16” stainless steel plate counter that flanks the sink and range is impervious to the hazards of the kitchen. The geometric wallpaper by local designer Brian Paquette adds subtle texture and movement to the space. Inspired by a traditional Japanese pattern book, the design was reproduced on 11×17 paper and applied to the wall using wheat paste.

在厨房里，柜台超出了原来的范围，创造了一个受保护的入口和更宽敞的厨房空间。在背溅和岛屿发现的砖是因为它的同情物质性，这是足够有力地融入到本地钢，而大胆纹理斑马木案件增加温暖和性格。这座新岛屿拥有宝贵的额外储藏室、内置的微波炉(天花板上悬挂的一根好玩的“卷发绳”)和四个人的非正式座位。它的木材顶部很容易在肘部，而3/16英寸的不锈钢板计数器，两侧的水槽和范围是不受危害的厨房。几何壁纸由当地设计师布赖恩帕奎特添加微妙的纹理和运动的空间。受日本传统图案书的启发，该设计被复制在11×17纸上，并用麦糊涂在墙上。

The extended kitchen creates a protected entry way that lets things unfold naturally upon entering the space. The open cabinet above the extension sheds light into the entry and serves as a place for personal belongings; the bench below creates a space for shoes, and a mirror clad wall reflects light from the living room windows into the heart of the space. “These functional elements are things we think about when designing a new space; it’s a consistent theme on all our projects,” says Thomas Schaer, Principal of SHED Architecture - Design.

扩展的厨房创造了一种受保护的进入方式，让事物在进入空间时自然展开。展台上方的开敞柜将光线射入入口处，用作个人物品的场所；下面的长凳为鞋子创造空间，镜面包墙将来自客厅窗户的光线反射到空间的中心。SHED建筑负责人ThomasSchaer说：“这些功能元素是我们在设计新空间时考虑的；它是我们所有项目的一致主题。”

Under the stairs, the steel base board was replaced with steel plate to create a durable storage space for bikes. Storage was an outstanding issue throughout the Capitol Hill loft, particularly in the master bedroom. The SHED team designed a lightweight enclosure of perforated steel that defines a closet space while maintaining the openness of the original layout. The intention in the newly converted loft upstairs was the opposite; the formerly exposed loft space was closed off with a translucent 3Form wall panel and a framed wall to create a guest room and additional storage. The thoughtful mix of raw materials and targeted elements helped solve practical problems while building upon and enriching the original aesthetic of the building, leading to cohesive additions that feel native to the space.

在楼梯下面，用钢板取代了钢基板，为自行车创造了一个耐用的存储空间。在整个国会山阁楼，尤其是主卧室，储藏是一个突出的问题。棚屋小组设计了一种轻型的穿孔钢外壳，它定义了一个壁橱空间，同时保持了原始布局的开放性。楼上新改建的阁楼的意图正好相反；以前裸露的阁楼空间被封闭，用半透明的3Form墙板和一堵镶有框架的墙来建造客房和额外的储藏室。经过深思熟虑的原材料和有针对性的元素混合在一起，帮助解决了实际问题，同时在建筑的基础上丰富了建筑的原始美学，导致了有凝聚力的添加，让人感觉到空间的本源。
