教堂改造成办公室 church transformed office

Squillace建筑事务所位于澳大利亚沙利山Albion街道80号的一座古老教堂改造成一座多功能的建筑

Squillace Architects have transformed an old church at 80 Albion St, Surry Hills into a mixed-use building that also houses their own studio space. “After endless searching for a new home for our growing team, we finally set our hearts on an unused church in Surry Hills,” said Squillace Architects. Through the doors of the overgrown and neglected façade lied an eerie empty shell of what was once a lively church. “Our director, Vince Squillace, could see the potential and possibilities of the space and set out to transform the building into the new Squillace office.” As they stripped back the layers to reveal the original heritage fabric, space began to come to life. The large open floor plan enabled them to create an ideal working environment to inspire creativity. Strategic planning saw the formation of spaces for collaborative thinking, meeting rooms, model making, breakout areas, and more. “As we undertook the extensive renovation project, we wanted to achieve a contrast between the key existing features and new contemporary additions. A minimalist design palette of white, steel and glass allowed this design intent to be realised,” they said. This ultimately enabled the original stained glass windows to read as artworks within the space; the iconic feature within the solemn interior. Squillace Architects also felt it was essential to maintain a sense of symmetry and repetition as a fundamental aspect of church design. The soft, light and harmonious interior allow the team of designers and architects to work in a motivating and inspiring space.
Squillace建筑事务所位于澳大利亚沙利山Albion街道80号的一座古老教堂改造成一座多功能的建筑，并在建筑内加入自己的工作室空间。“我想为我们不断壮大的团队寻找新家，最终把选择放在沙利山的一座未使用的教堂。” Squillace Architects说。

穿过杂草丛生和容易被忽视门面，引入眼帘的是一座令人毛骨悚然的空壳，而这曾经是一座充满活力的教堂。“我们的主指导Vince Squillace预视到这个空间的潜力和可能性，并开始将建筑改造成新的Squillace办公室。”

当他们剥离层层不可用的元素，展示原始的建筑物时，空间开始变得生动起来。大型开放式空间使他们能够创造理想的工作环境，激发创造力。空间被规划为协作区，会议室，模型制作、思维发散区。

Squillace Architects认为保持对称和重复感是必不可少的，这是教堂设计的一个基本特征。设计师和建筑师的团队在这样柔软、光亮、和谐的环境下工作，会感觉到充满活力和受到鼓舞激励。
