Mitchell Sweibel Studio是一家始于蒙特利尔的建筑设计公司。该实践平衡了独立与合作:不受大公司的限制，同时利用当地工匠和手工艺者的创造力。

Mitchell Sweibel Studio is an architectural design practice started in Montreal. The practice balances independance with collaboration: free from the constraints of a large firm, while tapping into the creativity of local artisans and craftspeople.

纪念性建筑大厅被证明是公寓改造概念化的重要研究。大堂的特色是有限的选择经典和高贵的材料。简单的线条和建筑形式重复创造秩序，给大堂的存在和优雅。

The monumental building lobby proved to be an important study for conceptualizing the apartment renovation. The lobby features a limited selection of classic and noble materials. Simple lines and architectural forms repeat to create order, giving the lobby presence and elegance.

“我们的目标是引入一种当代的设计语言，但仍然忠于建筑的特征和永恒的建筑，”Mitchell Sweibel解释说。

“Our goal was to introduce a contemporary language of design but remain faithful to the character of the building and its timeless architecture,” explains Mitchell Sweibel.

公寓的特点是三个膨胀的水平窗户，提供皇家山的壮丽全景。在项目开始时，必须清除这些窗户上的任何障碍物。公寓的现有结构必须彻底改造。

The apartment, characterized by three expansive horizontal windows, offers breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Royal. It was essential to start the project by freeing these windows of any obstruction. The existing configuration of the apartment had to be completely overhauled.

一座20世纪中期建筑的翻新项目提出了一些复杂的操作挑战。首先，有必要围绕众多建筑竖井进行布局设计，这是这一时期典型的建筑。此外，团队必须将现有的管道移动到混凝土板下，并分配通风，以获得一个完整的高度，不间断的天花板。

A renovation project in a mid-20th century building presented some complex operational challenges. First, it was necessary to design the layout around the numerous building shafts, typical of constructions from this period. Additionally, the team had to move the existing plumbing under the concrete slab and distribute the ventilation to obtain a full height, uninterrupted ceiling throughout.

为了组织服务空间和仆人空间，建造了一个轴向墙将公寓分成两部分。墙壁的存在通过地板材料的过渡而得到强调，从而成为空间中的一个物体，引起人们的好奇心。铺有方缝的木地板，给偌大的空间带来了宁静。

In order to organize the served and servant spaces, an axial wall was built to divide the apartment in two. The presence of the wall is accentuated by the transition in floor materials, thus becoming an object in space that invites curiosity. The wooden floors, laid with square joints, brings calm to such a vast space.

建筑的大块墙壁是公寓的醒目特征，与它们在大厅的存在相呼应，但在这里，它们被石灰灰泥覆盖。这些墙壁具有秩序和对称的品质，在整个建筑中反复出现。

The mass walls of the building are bold features of the apartment, in a nod to their presence in the lobby, but here they are covered with lime plaster. These walls have qualities of order and symmetry that are repeated throughout the building.
