海边小公寓的现代翻新

建筑师提供的文字说明。这栋公寓建于80年代，急需翻新。它的基础设施和组织都是过时的，因此它的意图是充分利用其潜力，同时使其生活经验符合当代的标准。

Text description provided by the architects. Built in the 80’s, this apartment was in dire need of refurbishment. Both its infrastructures and organization were dated, so the intention was to make the most of its potentialities while bringing its living experience to contemporary standards.

这套面积略高于400英尺2英尺(40平方米)的小公寓之所以不受欢迎，是因为它选择了更暗的材料、30年的密集使用和不太合格的隔间(尽管与时代相吻合)。

With just over 400 ft2 (40 m2) of surface, this small apartment by the sea was unwelcoming due to a choice of darker materials, 30 years of intense use and a not particularly qualified compartmentation (though in tune with its time).

这种做法的策略是通过使用非常小的方法和白色的重复来增强对公寓光线和空间的感知。

The practice’s strategy was to enhance the perception of the apartment’s light and space by utilizing both a very minimal approach and the repetition of the white color.

不过，这个项目的核心部分是一本蓝色的书，它同时解决了公寓的门和厨房橱柜的问题，这是一个整体的姿态，给整个公寓带来了色彩，但特别是一种嬉戏、朴素的语调。它的蓝色色调和海滩配件的综合挂钩，它带来了夏天在里面。

The central piece of this project, though, is a blue volume that solves simultaneously the apartment’s doors and the kitchen cabinets, an integral gesture that brings color but specially a playful, unpretentious tone to the whole apartment. With its blue hue and integrated hooks for the beach accessories, it brings the summer inside.

卧室和客厅之间的隔墙有一半变成了滑动板，而卧室上原有的门仍然保持着原来的位置。这既允许一种开放的空间体验-这非常适合公寓的每一分钟的面积-也可以由客户自行决定更为传统的体验。

Half of the dividing wall between bedroom and living room was turned into a sliding panel, while still maintaining the original door placement on the bedroom. This allows for both an open space experience -which quite suits the diminute area of the apartment- or a more conventional one at the clients’ discretion.

虽然这种设计显然是当代的，但总是愿意保持质感表面和细节，这仍然会给空间提供一个人性化的尺度。该项目实现了这一点，与80年代的原始建筑，保持天花板的造型，并引入一个表面的图案瓷砖在厨房的面积。

While this design is clearly contemporary there was always a willingness to keep textured surfaces and detailing that would still give a humanized scale to the spaces. The project achieved that with a wink to the 80’s of the original construction, maintaining the ceiling moldings and introducing a surface of patterned tiles on the kitchen area.
