伊甸园洛克是一个有72个房间的酒店,底层有一个咖啡馆和酒吧,是我们在苏格兰首都爱丁堡设计的。该项目是对一个现有的混合结构进行彻底的改造和综合装修。我们将一座18世纪的乔治亚大宅和其20世纪的扩建部分拆成了各自的骨架,并在此基础上创建了这家酒店。

Eden Locke is a 72 room hotel with a cafe and bar on the ground floor that we designed in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh. The project was a complete gut renovation and comprehensive fit out of an existing hybridized structure. We took an 18th Century Georgian mansion and its 20th Century extension down to their respective bones and created the hotel from there.

爱丁堡的新城区(现在已经有250多年的历史,是联合国教科文组织的遗产地)是一个美丽的,即使是朴素的,由坚固和统一的乔治亚风格的立面组成的集合。一排排的梯田和用当地灰砂岩包裹的豪宅是苏格兰改革的具体体现。我们的建筑是这种类型的一个典型例子,用克雷格里斯采石场的灰岩覆盖,在石板屋顶下有一排雨棚。虽然乔治亚人没有提供太多的变化或修饰,但他们空间中的光线和比例平衡之美对我们来说是首屈一指的。

Edinburgh’s New Town (now well over 250 years old and a UNESCO Heritage Site) is a beautiful, if austere, collection of sturdy and uniform ranks of Georgian elevations. Rows of terraces and mansions clad in local grey sandstone were the physical embodiment of the Scottish Reformation. Our building is a classic example of the typology, sheathed in Craigsleith Quarry Ashlar and topped in a row of dormers under a slate roof. While the Georgians didn’t offer much in the vein of variation or embellishment, the beauty of the light and the proportional balance in their spaces are, to us, second to none.

带着一丝敬意,我们试图以我们自己的方式,由内而外地点缀这座建筑。我们赞美了现有的遗产细节,特别是门窗和它们的周围。我们用一种倾向于复杂的热带风格的方法,放大了苏格兰长光的视觉温暖。我们的意图是,严峻和多石的建筑结构与青翠的内部之间的紧张关系将促进有分寸的不协调,在这里,一个夸大了另一个。我们还设计了许多家具和所有的细木工制品,并采用了弯曲的木头、藤条、柳条和赤土,与黄铜、石头、水泥包层和钢等材料并驾齐驱,所有这些都位于充足的植被之中。在进入建筑的门槛处,我们特别注意如何在建筑上实现空间和时代的过渡。玻璃扇形灯和锻铁被玻璃、木材和石头的前庭所包围。内部空间的小插曲被展示在街道上,外部白石和内部立面在立面上形成了一个研究性的构成。

With a dash of reverence we sought to embellish the building in our own way, and from the inside out. We celebrated the existing heritage details, in particular the fenestration and their surrounds. We amplified the visual warmth of the long Scottish light with an approach that leaned towards the sophisticatedly tropical. Our intention was that the tension between the severe and stony building fabric and the verdant interior would foster measured incongruity where one exalts the other. We also designed much of the furniture and all of the joinery and employed bent wood, cane, wicker and terra cotta in equal measure with brass, stone, cementitious cladding and steel, all of which sits amongst ample vegetation. At the thresholds into the building we paid special attention as to how to architecturally transition between both the spaces and the eras. Glazed fanlights and wrought iron are framed by glass, timber and stone vestibules. Vignettes of the space within are shown to the street and the exterior ashlar and interior elevations form a studied composition on the facade.

我们对建筑进行了截面处理,使房间既跨越了乔治亚时代的宽大体量,又跨越了20世纪新增的狭小空间,产生了一些动态空间。我们在房间的公共区域利用了较大时期的门窗和高耸的天花板,而在混合空间的较私密区域则设置了床和循环。我们创造了环绕中央浴室和厨房核心的内部楼梯,而定制的衣柜则在高度变化的房间里充当了栏杆。

We manipulated the building sectionally so that rooms spanned both the generous Georgian volume and the tighter spaces of the 20th century addition, yielding some dynamic spaces. We capitalized on the larger period fenestration and lofty ceilings in the public areas of the rooms while beds and circulation sit in the more intimate areas of the hybrid spaces. We created internal stairs that encircle a central bathroom and kitchen core while a bespoke wardrobe doubles as a balustrade within rooms where the height changes.

在整个建筑中,我们采用了温暖的材料和质地,粉色的色调和柔和的灯光,充分利用了苏格兰独特的令人惊叹的自然光线。虽然我们尊重历史悠久的乔治街和我们的建筑的遗产和美丽,但我们的干预有一个决定性的大胆观点。我们希望它成为其环境的资产,就像这个环境对我们的价值一样。

Throughout the building we crafted a palette of warm materials and textures, powdery tones and soft lighting that make the most of the inimitably breathtaking natural light in Scotland. While we were deferential to the heritage and beauty of both historic George Street and our building, our intervention has a decidedly bold perspective all its own. We hope it becomes as much of an asset to its environment as that context has been invaluable for us.
