In a city that commands some of the highest per sq.ft rates for mostly underwhelming properties, industrial conversions are a popular and budget friendly option for those seeking more unique spaces, with higher floor to ceilings and more generous areas.
“The Art Loft” in Chai Wan is our 2nd loft in Hong Kong and builds upon the work done on our Ap Lei Chau “Bachelor’s Loft”. Although the two lofts find themselves in completely different parts of the city, both districts are industrial zones and both projects are driven by an intention to generate better spaces than those available in the city’s residential neighborhoods.
The owner of the Chai Wan Loft is an art collector; as such his wish was to be able to display his art and book collection while also being able to entertain guests, in a spacious and comfortable setting, with views of the city.
A pragmatic layout plan uses a concrete dividing wall to separate the Living and Sleeping areas, the wall is left short of the ceiling allowing for ventilation and light to be shared between the spaces while maintaining privacy.
Opening and closing elements are used to hide and reveal spaces. The catering kitchen can be opened or closed by large sliding partitions that double as blackboards creating a dynamic public living area, while the Bedroom uses a curtain to hide and reveal the wardrobe, drastically changing the character of the space from Bedroom, to Walk in Closet without sacrificing space for either.
A general approach of “industrial roughness” and adhoc strategies are used to maintain the quality of the –converted- space; scraped beams and columns reveal the structural concrete, exposed piping and machinery show the sense of urgency and perhaps temporality of the occupation of the space.
位于香港柴湾的艺术公寓以鸭脷洲“单身公寓”为蓝本，虽然两者地点不同，但都是在工业区内，而且设计概念都是为了提供比住宅区更好的空间。 公寓的业主是一名艺术品收藏家，她希望此场地可作艺术品展示和宴客用途。 空间规划并不复杂：混凝土隔墙将起居室/展览室和卧室分开，隔墙不但保持了两个空间的隐私度，它与天花之间留有空间，亦发挥通风和透光作用。可滑动的大型隔板将大面积的专业用厨房遮掩或展露，这些黑色隔板亦可充当画布，满足艺术用途，营造生气勃勃的休息区域。
