布加勒斯特中心的主轴,从城市的北部延伸到南部,在两次世界大战之间经历了它最重要的建筑发展。现有的19世纪的城市组织,包括林荫道、公园、令人印象深刻的宫殿和别墅,都非常类似于欧洲的高级住宅区,被重新定义、扩展并带入20世纪的各种规模和尺寸的特殊现代主义住宅建筑,从家庭别墅到大型公寓楼。21世纪城市的许多建筑地标都来自这个时代,它们仍然强烈影响着当代集体住房的建筑。然而,与新建筑相比,20世纪30年代的原始建筑似乎仍然更加成熟,主要可能是由于它们的铜锈、魅力和独特性。其中一栋建筑里有一个需要改造的公寓。

The main axis of the center of Bucharest, stretching from North to the South of the city, between the two World Wars underwent its most important architectural development. The existing 19th century urban tissue, with its boulevards, parks, impressive palaces and villas, all very much alike the European high class neighborhoods, was redefined, extended and brought into the 20th century with exceptional modernist housing buildings of all scales and sizes, from family villas to large apartment buildings. Many of the architectural landmarks of 21st century city are from this era and they still strongly influence the architecture of the contemporary collective housing scene. However, compared to the new buildings, the original 1930’s buildings still seem to be more sophisticated, mainly probably due to their patina, charm and uniqueness. One such building houses an apartment that was in need of a renovation project.

在过去的80年里,该公寓保持了其最初的形状和所有的原始装饰和木制品。然而,当代的功能要求已经改变,新的业主–一对建筑和设计爱好者的年轻夫妇–的日常需求与原来项目的功能方案有很大的不同,新的干预措施的核心要素是尽可能地保留和翻新原来的组件,并重新组织公寓的功能,尽管由于结构的原因,不可能改变墙壁的布局,也不会失去其固有的价值。

In the past 80 years the apartment has kept its initial shape with all its original finishing and woodwork. However the contemporary functional requirements has changed and the everyday needs of the new owners – an architecture and design enthusiast young couple – are very different from the functional scheme of the original project, the core element of the new intervention was to keep and renovate as much as possible of the original components and to reorganize functionally the apartment, in spite of the impossibility to change the layout of the walls, due to structural reasons, and without loosing its intrinsic values.

公寓的原始布局由两个不同的区域组成:主要的代表性生活和夜间功能区,由主入口、客厅、餐厅和带卫生间的主卧室组成;次要的功能区是厨房和女仆室,有自己的入口和卫生间,这个区域通常要小得多。新的功能布局消除了隔离部分之间的功能区分,并将所有空间整合在一个单一的方案中,将厨房纳入主生活区,这是我们当代生活和社会互动方式的一个重要组成部分。公寓以前的服务区被改造成一个小型的家庭办公室,方便日常使用,并与公寓的其他部分谨慎地分开。

The original layout of the apartment was composed of two different areas: the main representative living and nighttime functions, composed of the main entrance, living room, dining room and master bedroom with bathroom, and the secondary functional area of the kitchen and maid’s room, with its own entrance and bathroom, an area that typically was much smaller. The new functional layout erases the functional differentiation between the segregated parts and integrates in one single scheme all spaces, by including in the main living area the kitchen, an important component of our contemporary way of living and social interaction. The former service quarter of the apartment was transformed into a small home office, convenient for the everyday use and discreetly separated from the rest of the apartment.

该项目的主要功能和审美特征包括日间空间的流动性,在一系列交替的地方连接起来,为不同层次和夫妇的互动方式设计。
在建筑上,当代特征在于对原始价值和材料的重新诠释。旧的但经过翻新的门窗和加热器与新的硬木地板和原始与新的瓷砖、黄铜和镜面家具装饰和标志性家具作品的充满活力的组合相匹配。

The main functional and aesthetic feature of the project consists in the fluidity of the daytime spaces, linked in a sequence of alternating places designed for different levels and ways of interaction within and of the couple.
Architecturally the contemporary character lies in the reinterpretation of the original values and materials. The old, but renovated windows, doors and heaters are matched with the new hardwood flooring and the vibrant combination of the original and new tiling, brass and mirror furniture finishing and signature furniture pieces.
