It's in Sheung Wan in central Hong Kong.

它位於香港中部的上環。

It's a historic neighbourhood with a rich mix of density, of people, of different cultures and different building types.

這是一個歷史悠久的街區，有著豐富的人口密度、不同的文化和不同的建築類型。

The building dates from the 1960s.

該建築可追溯到 20 世紀 60 年代。

It's very typical of that era.

這是那個時代的典型特徵。

It doesn't have an elevator.

它沒有電梯。

At that time, there was just a few punched windows.

當時，只有幾扇被打孔的窗戶。

It was in a state of real disrepair.

它已經年久失修。

It was coming to what seemed like the end of its natural lifespan.

它的自然壽命似乎即將結束。

We really saw an opportunity for adaptive reuse.

我們確實看到了適應性再利用的機會。

We could create a modern one-bedroom apartment per level, so give five apartments, and then a really generous retail or F&B unit with a great relationship to the street at ground level.

我們可以在每層建造一套現代化的一房間公寓，這樣就有五套公寓，然後在地面層建造一個非常寬敞的零售或餐飲單元，與街道保持良好的聯繫。

Several elements that we reused from the original structure.

我們重複使用了原結構中的幾個元素。

So this includes, for example, the balustrades in the central stair course.

是以，這包括中央樓梯的欄杆等。

So they were cleaned up, they were reused.

是以，它們被清理乾淨，重新使用。

So with the very small footprint per floor of only 25 square metres, this was a real challenge.

是以，由於每層佔地面積非常小，只有 25 平方米，這確實是一個挑戰。

One of the key insights we had was analysing that existing post and beam structure and how that would let us really open up the window all the way along the façade.

我們的一個重要見解是分析現有的柱樑結構，以及如何讓我們真正沿立面打開窗戶。

By creating this single piece of service furniture at the centre of the apartment and structuring the kitchen and the other rooms around this, it allowed us to provide a full modern kitchen.

通過在公寓中心打造一件服務傢俱，並圍繞這件傢俱佈置廚房和其他房間，我們得以提供一個完整的現代化廚房。

It's set along the side of this service core, and this beautiful curved window from the existing building.

它位於服務核心區的一側，這扇美麗的弧形窗戶來自現有建築。

And it really leads you in to the main spaces of the apartment.

它真正引領你進入公寓的主要空間。

In the main living area, bringing in these horner windows really opens up the space.

在主起居區，這些霍納窗的引入真正打開了空間。

It brings in light and air.

它能帶來光線和空氣。

Even though the actual dimensions are quite confined, you really feel like you're in a big room in the heart of the city.

儘管實際空間非常狹小，但你確實會覺得自己置身於城市中心的一個大房間裡。

The TV unit can be moved in and moved out, allowing for different flexible uses of the main living space.

電視櫃可以移入或移出，使主要起居空間的使用更加靈活。

The glass wall to the bedroom is another flexible element.

通往臥室的玻璃牆是另一個靈活的元素。

It allows you to close the door, but while also bringing light into the bedroom.

它既能關上門，又能將光線引入臥室。

By bringing in this central piece of furniture at the heart of the apartment, you have generous modern levels of storage.

將這一位於公寓中心的核心傢俱引入室內，您就可以擁有寬敞的現代儲物空間。

In the kitchen, we combine natural materials such as marble and lime-washed oak, where you have a full-size fridge, even though it's fully concealed.

在廚房裡，我們將大理石和石灰橡木等天然材料結合在一起。

You have a full oven, a ton of storage, counter space.

你有一個完整的烤箱、大量的存儲空間和櫃檯空間。

It's part of this concept that we provide a real full one-bedroom apartment.

我們提供真正完整的一房間公寓也是這一理念的一部分。

There's also no compromises with the bathroom.

浴室的設計也毫不含糊。

It's a generous space.

這是一個寬敞的空間。

And it's a beautifully detailed bathroom.

這間浴室的細節也非常精美。

It relates back to the heritage of the building, whilst being unmistakably modern.

它既體現了建築的歷史傳承，又不失現代感。

But at the same time, we also integrate a flexible element, such as the full washer dryer underneath the sink.

但與此同時，我們也融入了靈活的元素，比如水槽下方的全套洗衣烘乾機。

There's been more of a focus in recent years in Hong Kong on adaptive reuse and heritage architecture, but it's generally been very landmark projects.

近年來，香港更加註重活化再利用和文物建築，但一般都是非常具有標誌性的項目。

What we hope with this project, and there's several others like it in the neighborhood, they show the potential for the adaptive reuse of just common buildings.

我們希望通過這個項目，以及附近其他幾個類似的項目，展示出對普通建築進行活化再利用的潛力。

And we think this is very essential for retaining the character of neighborhoods, but it's also very sustainable, and it's economically sustainable.

我們認為，這對於保留街區特色非常重要，同時也是非常可持續的，在經濟上也是可持續的。

It saves on resources, saves on wastage.

它節省了資源，減少了浪費。
