墨爾本Interwar工廠改造家庭住宅設計-設計風向

這座新近翻修過的家庭住宅位於菲茨羅伊（Fitzroy）——曾經是墨爾本工人階級的市中心郊區，現已成為該市最時髦的街區之一——占據了一個處於兩次世界大戰之間的工廠，由來自香港和墨爾本的建築工作室HOLA PROJECTS改造。設計師的靈感來自於對早期歐洲現代主義的理解，所以產生了這座具備包豪斯美學的現代建築，設計師也想借此向工業曆史的致敬。

Located in Fitzroy, a once working class inner-city suburb of Melbourne that has become one of the city’s hippest neighbourhoods, this recently renovated family residence occupies an interwar factory which Hong Kong and Melbourne-based architectural studio HOLA PROJECTS has transformed, inspired by the owners’ affinity for early European Modernism, into a contemporary dwelling with a Bauhausian aesthetic that pays homage to its industrial past.

這座不起眼的單層磚砌建築建於1920年，曾經是為Federal Trolley and Truck Company公司提供城市有軌電車的車軸和起落架的製造設施的地方。它與當地其他工業設施的區別，以及被列為遺產的原因，在於其具有不尋常的磚砌裝飾藝術風格的牆麵，這成為了這座建築的一個特色，並以金屬標牌命名。建築師完整的保留了建築原本的磚瓦，並對外牆進行了精心翻新，其外部的複古與內部的現代完全轉變相悖，但也碰撞出了不一樣的美感。

Built in 1920, the brick building is a modest, one-storey structure that used to house the Federal Trolley and Truck Company, a manufacturing facility for axles and undercarriages for the city’s trams. What distinguishes it from other local industrial facilities, and the reason it has been listed as a heritage property, is its Art Deco-inspired façade which features a stepped parapet adorned by an unusual corbelled brick decoration and the company’s name in slender metal signage. The architects have kept the building’s original brick shell intact including the façade which has been meticulously refurbished, its retro sensibility belying the complete transformation that has taken place inside.

室內設計中的主要元素是可見的鋼結構，加固了原有的建築結構，並對上層的建築起到了支撐作用。這些鋼結構被漆成了黑色，也暗指建築本身的工業曆史。鋼框架玻璃以及有線玻璃麵板將廚房與就餐區分隔開來。現代主義的整潔線條和中性色調的白色灰泥牆，公共區域淺灰色的石材地板和臥室的原始實木地板體現出工業風格。建築中較為引人注目的是由柯布西耶設計的白色混凝土螺旋樓梯通道以及中世紀的家具及燈具，同時，業主收藏的藝術品與古典地毯的結合，讓空間的色彩產生了不一樣的碰撞。

A dominant element in the interior design is the visible steel structure, which reinforces the original building fabric and supports the upper floor. Painted black, it also alludes to the building’s industrial past as does the steel-framed glazing, and the use of wired glass panels that separate the kitchen from the dining area. The industrial references are complemented by a modernist sensibility of uncluttered and sleek lines and a neutral palette of white plaster walls, light grey stone floors in the communal areas and natural solid timber for the bedroom floors. The modernist aesthetic is further enhanced by a dramatic white concrete spiral staircase that channels Le Corbusier, as well as by an eclectic collection of mid-century furniture and light fittings, while the owners’ exuberant art collection and selection of vintage carpets add splashes of colour.

從更衣室定製的日本榆木櫥櫃，到主浴室定製的馬賽克大理石，再到定製的青銅窗戶杠杆，衣櫥皮革拉手和委托定製的青銅門把手，房子的每一個細節都經過建築師的精心設計和精心製作。建築師對工藝的重視不僅確保了這座建築的質量、使用壽命和品質，也是向過去卓越的建築製造致敬。

From bespoke Japanese elm cabinetry in the dressing room and custom laid marble mosaic in the master bathroom, to custom cast bronze window levers, bespoke wardrobe leather pulls and commissioned bronze doorknobs, every detail in the house has been carefully thought out and meticulously crafted. The architects’ emphasis on craftsmanship not only ensures the project’s quality, longevity, and elegance, but also pays homage to the building’s former life of manufacturing excellence.
