纳皮尔街231号位于菲茨罗伊中心的一条宁静的街道上，由获奖的墨尔本建筑事务所Edition Office设计的11套独家公寓。在文化和商业的包围下，这个安静的口袋是一个可以理解的令人垂涎的地方，与城市北部的Gertrude、Smith和Brunswick街相邻。纳皮尔街的设计反映了Milieu对通过设计改善社区的奉献，以及Edition Office对雄心勃勃的建筑的承诺，它的设计考虑到了周围的建筑，将当代的理想与该地的历史和背景相结合。

Positioned on a peaceful street in the heart of Fitzroy, 231 Napier Street forms eleven exclusive apartments designed by the award-winning Melbourne architecture practice, Edition Office. Surrounded by culture and commerce, this quiet pocket is an understandably coveted spot, bordered by Gertrude, Smith, and Brunswick Streets just north of the city. Reflecting Milieu’s dedication to enhancing neighborhoods through design and Edition Office’s commitment to ambitious architecture, Napier Street has been designed with consideration for its surrounding buildings, marrying contemporary ideals with the history of the site and context.

“我们研究了菲茨罗伊历史建筑的材质、它们的浮雕图案、门窗与立面的构成，以及排列在街景中的聚会墙的节奏，”Edition Office的总监Aaron Roberts说。”这种研究从一开始就为设计过程提供了信息，创造了与周边环境的紧密联系。”

“We studied the materiality of Fitzroy’s historic buildings, their relief patterns, the composition of windows and doors to the façade, and the rhythm of party walls that line the streetscape,” says Aaron Roberts director at Edition Office. “This research informed the design process from the outset creating a strong connection with the neighboring context.”

微妙的细节和材料放大了该建筑的真实特征和感觉。从街上看去，这栋建筑就像一系列单一的、原始的混凝土外壳，简单而不失庄重地堆叠在一起。每间公寓都被改造成一个容器，提供了一种封闭和保护的感觉。

Subtle details and materiality amplify the building’s honest character and feel. When encountered from the street, the building appears as a series of singular, raw concrete shells simply and unashamedly stacked, one upon the other. Each apartment is transformed into a vessel that offers a sense of enclosure and protection.

在进入私人安全住宅时，访客会被一个内部中庭所吸引，该中庭被封闭在一个穿孔金属的周围，为公共空间提供不断变化的光线和空气。这个入口处的瞬间质量确保了每次到达和离开的感觉与上次不同。它也是一种过滤机制，掩盖了公共和私人空间之间的联系。小心翼翼地套在建筑的原始外壳里的是一个更温柔的、苍白的木材内皮。这种精致的木材边界体现了奢华的简约，放大了建筑的特征和感觉。内部空间被刻意地往后配，去除内墙以最大化空间，允许更多自由流动的光线和空气，加强与户外的联系。

Upon entering the private and secure residence, visitors are greeted by an internal atrium enclosed in a perforated metal surround providing ever-changing light and air into the common spaces. The momentary quality of this entryway ensures each arrival and departure feels different from the last. It also acts as a filtering mechanism, obscuring the connection between public and private spaces. Carefully sleeved within the building’s raw shell is a more tender, pale timber inner skin. This delicate timber boundary embodies luxurious simplicity, amplifying the building’s character and feel. The internal spaces are deliberately paired back, removing internal walls to maximize space, allowing for more free-flowing light and air, strengthening the connection to the outdoors.

每套公寓都反映了一个承诺，即提供真正宜居的、永恒的、经过深思熟虑的空间，这些空间的设计和建造是持久的。增强豪华感的主要特点包括：全高玻璃窗，使外部景观加强了生活空间的最大化，定制和详细的细木家具，大量的存储，步入式衣柜，天然石材台面，彩色木材地板，凤凰的拉丝镍龙头，Smeg电器，葡萄酒冰箱和壁炉。

Each apartment reflects a commitment to deliver truly liveable, timeless, and considered spaces that are designed and built to last. Key features that enhance the luxurious feel include full-height glazing allowing outside views to reinforce the sense of maximized living space, bespoke and detailed joinery with significant storage, walk-in robes, natural stone benchtops, stained timber flooring, brushed nickel tapware by Phoenix, Smeg appliances, wine fridges, and fireplaces.

Milieu和Edition Office的共同信念是精致的简约和公民责任，创造出具有影响力的持久空间，以提高他们所处的社区，Milieu的Napier Street是这种真诚联系的典范。

Milieu and Edition Office share a belief in refined simplicity and civic responsibility, creating enduring spaces of influence that enhance the neighborhoods in which they stand and Napier Street by Milieu is exemplary of this honest connection.
