Godmer & Manon d’Alençon l 加拿大Elmwood別墅-設計風向

蒙特利爾室內設計師Michael Godmer通過保留原始木製品並添加現代細節，對當地的聯排別墅進行了擴建和改造翻新。Elmwood住宅是一棟兩層的Victorian聯排別墅，位於蒙特利爾的Outremont街區。這次室內設計師Godmer和Manon d’Alençon的任務是改造他們2970平方英尺（276平方米）的半獨立式住宅。

Montreal interior designer Michael Godmer has expanded and revitalised a local townhouse by preserving original woodwork and adding contemporary details. Elmwood Residence is a two-storey Victorian townhouse in Montreal’s Outremont neighbourhood. Interior designers Godmer and Manon d’Alençon were tasked to transform their 2,970-square-foot (276 square-metre) semi-detached house.

這棟建於1920年代的房屋改造重點在於保留原有的魅力，同時增加新的硬質裝飾和軟裝家具。改造包括保持某些房間的私密性，同時開放其他空間和增加新的窗戶。裝飾，造型和牆壁被漆成白色，以使整個空間保持明亮。Godmer說：“該項目的完善之處在於細節，所有這些細節在現代性與真實性之間創造了一個完美平衡的和諧。”

The overhaul of the house, which was built in the 1920s, focused on retaining the original charm, while adding in new fixtures and furniture. The renovation involved keeping certain rooms intimate and opening up other spaces and adding new windows.Trim, moulding and walls are painted white to keep spaces bright throughout. “The refinement of the project is found in the details, all of which create a perfectly balanced harmony between modernity and authenticity,” said Godmer.

改造後的Elmwood住宅擁有一間新的，擴張後的開放式廚房和餐廳，並設有可俯瞰花園的大窗戶。木地板鋪有馬賽克瓷磚，以滿足客戶喜愛的旅行回憶，而櫥櫃和櫃台是白色的。餐廳區還有一個由舊衣櫃改造而成的嵌入式櫥櫃，它被漆成白色，放置兩個鏡子之間，給人營造出雙開門的視覺效果。一張傳統的白色木製餐桌旁配以深色的Gubi椅子和S一盞由Serge Mouille設計的黑色三臂吸吊燈。這對組合為Elmwood住宅新舊融合提供了基調。

Called Elmwood Residence, the property has a new, enlarged open-plan kitchen and dining room with large windows overlooking the garden. Wood floors meet a mosaic tile – a nod to the clients’ fond travel memories – while cabinets and counters are white. There is also a built-in cabinet made from an old wardrobe in the dining area, which is painted white and placed in between two mirrors to create an optical illusion of double doorways. A traditional white wooden dining table is accompanied by dark Gubi chairs and a black three-arm ceiling lamp by Serge Mouille overhead. This pairing sets the tone of the Elmwood Residence’s fusion of old and new.

新設計在這些建築元素和院落的大型現代開放之間創造了一種對話。Godmer說：“20多年的曆史裝飾品被保存在他們家樓梯間裏，對客戶來說，在新的裝飾中延續和協調家庭中曆史裝飾品是很重要的。”現有的木製樓梯和石膏模型也得到了修複，而當代作品則包括家具，燈具和藝術品。對室內原有的建築元素進行了細致的修複；宏偉的中央壁爐證明了該空間的真實外觀。

The new design creates a dialogue between these architectural elements and a large contemporary opening to the courtyard. “With more than 20 years of life kept within the walls of their home, it was important for the clients to perpetuate and harmonise its family heritage into the new decor,” said Godmer.The existing wooden staircase and plaster mouldings are also restored, while contemporary pieces include furniture, light fixtures and artwork. Meticulous care was given to the restoration of the original architectural elements found in the room; the grand central fireplace attests the authentic look of the space.

二樓進行了重新改造和空間分布，增加了幾個較小空間的房間，包括兩間兒童臥室和一間浴室。主臥室也位於這一層，綠色天鵝絨窗簾後麵隱藏著一個大衣櫥和一間浴室。Elmwood還擁有一個翻新過的地下室，它以前從未使用過，現在作為石板地板，洗浴區和嵌入式儲物間的第二個入口。

Upstairs was reorganised with the addition for a few smaller rooms, including two children’s bedrooms and a bathroom. Also on this level is the master bedroom with a large wardrobe concealed behind a green velvet curtain and an ensuite. Elmwood Residence is complete with a renovated basement that was formerly unused and now serves as a second entrance to the home with slate floors, a wash area and built-in storage.
