该项目改造了蒙特利尔旧港口的loft公寓，公寓位于名为“Unity”的百年历史建筑中，旨在将自然和家庭生活融入城市空间，同时延续工业背景。

The Rue de la Gauchetière project restores a loft apartment in the Old Port of Montreal. Located in a hundred year-old heritage building called ‘Unity’, the design seeks to integrate nature and family living into a space that is decisively urban while celebrating its industrial origins.

设计通过“盒中盒”这一简单概念来呈现。两个安装玻璃的木盒子被精心安置在混凝土结构中，用作卧室并组织住宅的功能，厨房、客厅、餐厅、书房、阅读和活动区域位于它们周围，形成流畅而开放的平面布局。在该项目中，卧室既是家具也是建筑，它是包括天花、竖框、地面与家具的一体式装置，一系列既微透又遮光的自动卷帘将其从私人房间变成漂浮的灯笼。公寓设计受到建筑物原始特征的启发，使用的材料朴素且有质感。胡桃胶合板呼应砖墙的泥土色调，粗糙的混凝土墙面呈现以暖灰色，遍布各处的玻璃和镜面提升空间的通透性，大量绿植营造出梦幻般的自然效果。

The design is manifested through a simple concept: a box inside the box. Two glazed wooden volumes are thoughtfully arranged within the concrete structure and programmed as bedrooms. They are used to organize the residential functions. Kitchen, living, dining, study, reading, and exercise areas take life on their periphery in a fluid and open plan. At once object and architecture, the bedroom is crafted as a bespoke kit of parts including everything from ceiling panels and mullions, to flooring and furniture. A series of automated blinds—both sheer and blackout—transform it from a private room to a floating lantern. Inspired by the original character of the building, the loft’s material palette is elemental and tactile; walnut plywood echoes the earth tones of the brick walls, warm greys pick up on the rough concrete, pervasive glass and mirrors emphasize the airiness of the space while the ample addition of greenery adds a dream-like, natural dimension.
