墨尔本Interwar工厂改造家庭住宅设计

这座新近翻修过的家庭住宅位于菲茨罗伊（Fitzroy）——曾经是墨尔本工人阶级的市中心郊区，现已成为该市最时髦的街区之一——占据了一个处于两次世界大战之间的工厂，由来自香港和墨尔本的建筑工作室HOLA PROJECTS改造。设计师的灵感来自于对早期欧洲现代主义的理解，所以产生了这座具备包豪斯美学的现代建筑，设计师也想借此向工业历史的致敬。

Located in Fitzroy, a once working class inner-city suburb of Melbourne that has become one of the city’s hippest neighbourhoods, this recently renovated family residence occupies an interwar factory which Hong Kong and Melbourne-based architectural studio HOLA PROJECTS has transformed, inspired by the owners’ affinity for early European Modernism, into a contemporary dwelling with a Bauhausian aesthetic that pays homage to its industrial past.

这座不起眼的单层砖砌建筑建于1920年，曾经是为Federal Trolley and Truck Company公司提供城市有轨电车的车轴和起落架的制造设施的地方。它与当地其他工业设施的区别，以及被列为遗产的原因，在于其具有不寻常的砖砌装饰艺术风格的墙面，这成为了这座建筑的一个特色，并以金属标牌命名。建筑师完整的保留了建筑原本的砖瓦，并对外墙进行了精心翻新，其外部的复古与内部的现代完全转变相悖，但也碰撞出了不一样的美感。

Built in 1920, the brick building is a modest, one-storey structure that used to house the Federal Trolley and Truck Company, a manufacturing facility for axles and undercarriages for the city’s trams. What distinguishes it from other local industrial facilities, and the reason it has been listed as a heritage property, is its Art Deco-inspired façade which features a stepped parapet adorned by an unusual corbelled brick decoration and the company’s name in slender metal signage. The architects have kept the building’s original brick shell intact including the façade which has been meticulously refurbished, its retro sensibility belying the complete transformation that has taken place inside.

室内设计中的主要元素是可见的钢结构，加固了原有的建筑结构，并对上层的建筑起到了支撑作用。这些钢结构被漆成了黑色，也暗指建筑本身的工业历史。钢框架玻璃以及有线玻璃面板将厨房与就餐区分隔开来。现代主义的整洁线条和中性色调的白色灰泥墙，公共区域浅灰色的石材地板和卧室的原始实木地板体现出工业风格。建筑中较为引人注目的是由柯布西耶设计的白色混凝土螺旋楼梯通道以及中世纪的家具及灯具，同时，业主收藏的艺术品与古典地毯的结合，让空间的色彩产生了不一样的碰撞。

A dominant element in the interior design is the visible steel structure, which reinforces the original building fabric and supports the upper floor. Painted black, it also alludes to the building’s industrial past as does the steel-framed glazing, and the use of wired glass panels that separate the kitchen from the dining area. The industrial references are complemented by a modernist sensibility of uncluttered and sleek lines and a neutral palette of white plaster walls, light grey stone floors in the communal areas and natural solid timber for the bedroom floors. The modernist aesthetic is further enhanced by a dramatic white concrete spiral staircase that channels Le Corbusier, as well as by an eclectic collection of mid-century furniture and light fittings, while the owners’ exuberant art collection and selection of vintage carpets add splashes of colour.

从更衣室定制的日本榆木橱柜，到主浴室定制的马赛克大理石，再到定制的青铜窗户杠杆，衣橱皮革拉手和委托定制的青铜门把手，房子的每一个细节都经过建筑师的精心设计和精心制作。建筑师对工艺的重视不仅确保了这座建筑的质量、使用寿命和品质，也是向过去卓越的建筑制造致敬。

From bespoke Japanese elm cabinetry in the dressing room and custom laid marble mosaic in the master bathroom, to custom cast bronze window levers, bespoke wardrobe leather pulls and commissioned bronze doorknobs, every detail in the house has been carefully thought out and meticulously crafted. The architects’ emphasis on craftsmanship not only ensures the project’s quality, longevity, and elegance, but also pays homage to the building’s former life of manufacturing excellence.
