House of Attila

梧桐树下的百年洋房，是老上海永不落幕的迷人图景，在一个世纪的时间跨度中历经了风雨飘摇的民国时代，也在开国之后见证了这座城市的迅速更新。只是当我们俯瞰卫星地图从 1948 年、1979 年跟随追踪至今的解读：即便偌大的上海，每一块角落都在历史变迁中移境革新，却始终有一群建筑本体一直维持着原建造时的平面格局，未发生拆除或较大的面目改变。

The stylish century-old houses under the plane trees are a charming and never-fading picture in Shanghai. These buildings survived the turmoil during the Minguo era and have witnessed the rapid development of the city after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. If you look at the satellite images between 1979 and today, you will see the city has changed in every corner. However, these Shanghai aged garden villa are an exception. They have largely retained their original layout, with no demolition or major remodeling.

也许是曾经主人的不忍，或是住宅邻里的保护意识，我们把这份不变的坚持阐释为对美丽的庇护，和相遇的注定。如同 Attila-Co 创始人所说，当她第一次遇到始建于 1923 年，位处衡复风貌区内的这栋洋房院落，持续了一段时间的亚洲总部选址计划终于在心里落定。而当代意式文化遇上 Art Deco 风格的经典东方院落，这个衔接了历史与尚未发生的未来的空间，无疑是令人期待的。

As the founder of Attila-Co puts it, “Whether by the grace of the houseowners or the deliberate protection of the neighbors, these buildings are well preserved. We believe that their continued efforts have prolonged the beauty of the houses and given us the opportunity to gather here.”

Attila-Co’s search for its Asian headquarters, which has been going on for quite long time, finally came to an end when the founder came upon a particular Aged garden villa located in Heng-Fu Historic and Cultural Area. Its construction began in 1923.

When you add the contemporary Italian cultural elements to this classic Shanghai-style Art Deco space, the house that bridges the past and the present is undoubtedly a surprise to be expected.

Restatement of Space in Aged garden villa

整个空间包含前侧的两层主楼和后部的三层辅楼，共两栋建筑。基于 Attila 本身的品牌策略整合业务需求，法纳兴将整体空间依照功能划分为对外和对内两个大的体块。

The house consists of a two-story main building and a three-story annex behind the main building. NOTHING STUDIO divides the space into an outer area and an inner area according to its functionality. This meets Attilas needs in terms of its branding strategy and integrated business.

入口以大理石墙砖与交替着红、灰色的中式院墙互相衔接，大门与主楼一楼的入口中间，是一个放射性大理石拼花铺就的、类似天井的小院落。

At the entrance of the house, a brickwall is connected to a traditional Chinese-style courtyard wall made of red and grey bricks. Between the entrance and the door of the first floor is a patio-like yard paved with parquet marble in a radial pattern.
