这是一个位于伦敦Bermondsey的底层公寓的内部翻新工程,该公寓被列为二级保护建筑,曾是造纸厂和制革厂。该仓库由几个原始特征组成,如木梁、砖墙、铸铁柱和铸铁旋转窗。一对年轻夫妇在该公寓居住了一年,决定是时候翻新他们的家了。他们的主要标准很简单–使他们的家成为一个更明亮的空间,并拥有一个更大的带中央岛的厨房。

This is an interior refurbishment of a ground floor flat in Bermondsey, London— a grade II-listed, former paper mill, and tannery. The warehouse consists of several original features such as timber beams, brick walls, cast-iron columns, and cast-iron pivoting windows. A young couple had lived in the flat for a year and decided it was time to renovate their home. Their main criteria were simple— to make their home a brighter space, and to have a larger kitchen with a central island.

为了解决光线问题,我们决定拆除以前分隔客厅和卧室的一个隔板。通过打通房间,来自南向窗户的日光可以渗透到客厅和餐厅空间,创造出一个更加明亮的区域。作为墙的替代,我们引入了一组全高的木质玻璃屏风,使空间具有灵活性,并增加了视觉上的趣味性,通过透明玻璃和复古压制玻璃的混合来过滤光线。双层屏风有两个作用–既可以完全打开客厅,也可以封闭起来成为卧室。屏风后面直接加了一个帘子,以增加晚上的隐私。

To address the issue of light, we decided to remove one of the partitions that formerly divided the living room and bedroom. By opening up the rooms, daylight from the south-facing windows could penetrate into the living and dining space, creating a much brighter area. In lieu of the wall, we introduced a set of full height timber-glazed screens to allow flexibility of the space, and add visual interest, with the filtering of light through a mix of clear and vintage-pressed glass. The bi-fold screen serves a two-fold purpose— either to completely open up the living room or to be closed up into a bedroom. A curtain is added directly behind the screen for added privacy in the evening.

我们为该公寓引入的另一个元素是位于厨房和浴室之间的内部壁炉窗。在确定了厨房单元的高度后,我们利用剩余的墙面空间增加了一个窗户,这进一步让日光涌入室内房间深处。

Another element we introduced to the flat was an internal clerestory window, positioned between the kitchen and bathroom. After establishing the height of the kitchen unit, we utilized the remaining wall space to add in a window, which further allows daylight to flood deep into the interior rooms.

除了解决空间配置的问题,材料色调的选择也对实现更明亮的空间起到了关键作用。我们有许多列举的元素需要处理,其中砖墙是最主要的一个。砖的颜色被用作我们材料调色板的出发点。我们利用砖的棕色和黄色色调,并为调色板增加温暖,在所有的窗户上采用了橡木框架的二次玻璃。务实地说,这也是为了对空间进行保温和隔音。其余的色调被刻意保持平静–暖白色的油漆墙面、相匹配的细木工制品、洗得发白的橡木木地板,以及厨房里的中性色混凝土铸件。

Aside from resolving the spatial configurations, the choice of the material palette also played a key role in achieving a brighter space. There were many listed elements we had to work with, of which the brick wall was a dominant one. The colours of the brick were used as a starting point for our material palette. Picking up on the brown and yellow hues of the brick, and to add warmth to the palette, we introduced oak-frame secondary glazing to all windows. Pragmatically, this also served to insulate the space thermally and acoustically. The remaining palette was deliberately kept calm— with warm-white painted walls, matching joinery, white-washed oak timber floor, and neutral colour cast concrete in the kitchen.

厨房是开放式生活空间的焦点。根据客户的要求,我们通过减少浴室的面积,在原来的布局上增加了厨房的面积。由于增加了地板面积,我们能够增加一个宽敞的厨房岛,配备洗碗机、酒柜和大量的存储空间。厨房的细木家具被保持在最低限度,反映了公寓其他地方的色调。框住厨房视野的是原来的水管,它悬挂在新的厨房岛上面,并向上延伸到建筑的其他部分。

The kitchen is the focal point for the open-plan living space. Based on a request from the client, we increased the kitchen floor area from the former layout by reducing the size of the bathrooms. With the added floor area, we were able to add in a generous-sized kitchen island, equipped with a dishwasher, wine fridge, and plenty of storage. The kitchen joineries were kept minimal, reflecting the palette to the rest of the flat. Framing the view of the kitchen, is the original water pipe in place, suspended above the new kitchen island and upwards into the rest of the building.
