我们的客户在这间公寓里度过了她的整个童年,而我们要为她和她的丈夫把它变成一个家。重建一个旧公寓和处理一个新公寓之间有很大的不同,在那里你应该简单地定制和个性化一个空盒子。在这个项目中,这个空间原本并不空旷,而是充满了回忆和情感。这正是你面临双重任务时的情况–你应该保留记忆,跳过一些记忆,同时增加新的东西。我们的很多空间决定正是基于这种双重性的想法。

Our client spent her whole childhood in this apartment, and we were to make it Home for her and her husband. It makes a great difference between reconstructing an old apartment and working with a new one, where you should simply customize and personalize an empty box. In this project the space, originally, was not empty, but was full of memories and emotions. This is exactly the case when you are facing a dual task — you should keep the memories skipping some them and adding something new at the same time. A lot of our spatial decisions were based on this very idea of duality.

公寓的构成包括三个主要的区块,它们似乎充满了一个共同的空间:一个长长的黑色橱柜,厨房岛,和翡翠色的区块,包括厨房、浴室和卧室。我们故意淡化了修复和破坏、房间和颜色之间的边界线。填充卧室的颜色在其空间边界之外蔓延得更远。翡翠块的颜色边界可以被清楚地标示出来,但它们的扩散却模糊了空间边界。

The composition of the apartment includes three main blocks which seem to fill one common space: a long black cabinet, kitchen island, and emerald block, including kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. We deliberately faded out the borderlines between repaired and destroyed, between rooms and colors. The color filling the bedroom spreads farther beyond its space borders. The color borders of the emerald block could be clearly marked, but instead they spread blurring the space borders.

地板的白色,在某种程度上反映了房间里发生的一切,在墙上慢慢消失,并揭开了从一开始就在这里的普通天花板,因此,将这个新家与过去的记忆联系起来。充满整个客厅空间的黑色橱柜和黑色厨房岛呈现出明显的边界块。然而,橱柜被反射到走廊的镜子里,似乎是相当无尽的。公寓的另一个主题是由透明的划线网格呈现的,它被应用于由椅子、扶手椅、浴室窗户和由白色管子覆盖的天花板配件电线所描绘的新空间。瓷砖的网格本身是可以改变的,并闪烁着不同的颜色。一些来自老房子的物品–切割玻璃器皿和一些塞满记忆的家具–正在低声诉说着一些重要的事情。但我们不能说什么–这个故事不属于我们。

The white color of the floor, which, in some way, reflects everything happening in the room, comes over the wall slowly vanishing and uncovering a plain ceiling that has been here since the very beginning, thus, linking this new Home with memories of the past. The black cabinet, filling the whole space of the living room, and the black kitchen island present the clearly bordered blocks. However the cabinet, being reflected in the mirror of the hallway, seems to be quite endless. Another theme of the apartment is presented by transparent scribed grid applied to the new space painted by chairs, armchairs, bathroom window, and ceiling fitting wires covered by white tubes. The grid of the tile is changeable itself and sparkles with different colors. Some items from the old house — cut-glass ware and some pieces of furniture stuffed with memories — are whispering about something important. But we can’t say anything about it — this story is not ours.
