悉尼一間73平米loft公寓改造設計-設計風向

Killing Matt Woods完成了澳大利亞悉尼市中心住宅的改造設計，為一對夫婦尋求一個與室內相匹配的極簡主義生活方式。作為一個混凝土建築，公寓的外殼由設計師對粗野主義建築的偏愛所決定。設計的主要意圖是創造一個簡約的幾何室內環境。

The project brief called for the re-design of an inner city warehouse conversion in Camperdown, for a couple seeking a minimalist lifestyle with an interior to match. Conceived of as a “concrete bunker”, the shell of the apartment has been informed by the designer’s penchant for Brutalist architecture. The principal intent was the creation of a pared back, geometric interior.

朝西的開放式公寓設有一個定製廚房和一間夾層臥室，可以俯瞰客廳空間和一個小露台。閣樓充滿了來自通高玻璃牆的光線，平衡了室內的氛圍。所有的內部元素都被創建為原始的混凝土單體結構，如彎曲的天花板形式和水泥結構的浴室。選擇具有幾何形狀和柔和的調色板的家具，使空間更加整體。

The west-facing open plan apartment features a custom kitchen and a mezzanine bedroom, which overlooks the living room space and a small terrace. The loft is flooded with light from a full height, glazed wall, counterbalancing the interior mood, which is intentionally dark and brooding. All interior elements have been created as “raw and extruded concrete monoliths”, as seen in the fluted kitchen joinery, curved ceiling forms, and the cement-rendered bathroom. The furniture selection features geometric forms and a muted palette, underscoring the overall concept.

這個室內設計避開了老套的“工業”倉庫美學和“Sydney”設計方法，設計了一個新穎的室內，大膽的設計方法結合客戶需求，形成了一個實用的的居住空間，同時充滿陽光和家庭氣息。

This interior eschews the cliched “industrial” warehouse aesthetic and ubiquitous “Sydney” design approach, offering a fresh, yet site-specific take on the warehouse conversion category. Great lengths were taken to synthesize client direction and the specificity of the brief with a bold design approach. resulting in a utilitarian, cave-like sanctuary that is also intimate, light-filled and homely.

空間設計創新是顯而易見的，巧妙地把功能部件簡化成簡單的幾何形式。此外，盡管該建築是一個混凝土盒子，但在建造過程中幾乎沒有使用水泥。混凝土的主要成分是玻璃鋼水泥(GRC)，其重量和水泥含量遠低於傳統的混凝土。

Design innovation is evident in the skillful reduction of the functional components into simple geometric forms that are evocative. In addition, although the brief was a concrete box – remarkably very little cement has been used in its creation. The “solid” concrete elements are Glass Reinforced Cement (GRC) – which has far less weight and cement than traditional concrete techniques.
