Blackstone Apartments is located in Liangzhu Cultural Village, Hangzhou, designed by WATER TEAM DESIGN.

黑石公寓位于杭州良渚文化村，由水丁集设计进行设计。

The residence is built on a hill and the space has a loft on the top floor, where one can have a unique view of the mountain and the city. The owner is a freelance photographer, which gives the design team enough room for creativity. The owner wants the home to be undefinable, so the space brings together art galleries, studios, residences, socialising, photography, and other modes and venues in one.

住宅依山而建，空间的顶层有一个阁楼，在这可以拥有山和城市的独特风景。业主是一位自由摄影师，这给设计团队带来了足够的创作空间，业主希望这个家是无法被定义的，因此这个空间汇集了艺术馆、工作室、住宅、社交、摄影等多种模式与场所于一体。

The design team has always believed that the essence of space is to be used by people, and that flat functions must meet the individual needs of the owner, and that good design follows the principle of ease of use. The design of a flat is extremely personal, even intimate. Therefore, the designer is required to have a deep understanding of the owner's life trajectory and special needs in order to develop the design.

设计团队始终认为，空间的本质是为人所用，平面功能必须满足业主的个性化需求，好的设计遵循方便使用的原则。公寓的设计是极为私人的，甚至是私密的。因此，要求设计师对业主的生活轨迹和特殊需求有深刻的了解，才能展开设计。

The flat has a total of two floors, with an open layout design on the ground floor that takes into account a photography studio, a multi-functional living room, and an open-plan dining room. The original load-bearing columns are wrapped in the shape, giving the space more interesting experiences from all perspectives. Considering the friendly relationship between the owner and the animals in the space, the corner grey space of the public bathroom is used to reserve a hole (the daily entrance to the cat's toilet), so that the animals and the human beings can live together harmoniously and coexist within the function of the living space.

该公寓总共有两层，一楼采用了开放式的布局设计，兼顾了摄影工作室、多功能客厅以及开放式餐厅的。原有的承重柱被包裹在造型中，从各个视角赋予了空间更多有趣的体验，同时考虑到业主和动物在空间内友好的相处，利用公共卫生间的转角灰色空间预留了洞口（猫咪厕所的日常入口），让动物和人在居住功能内和谐相处与共存。

The guest bedroom is reserved for a hidden double bed in the whole wardrobe, through this design, the space is allowed to have more activity places without using the corresponding functions.

客卧预留了隐藏式双人床在整个衣柜里，通过这个设计，在不使用相应功能的情况下让空间有更多的活动场所。

The entrance and middle area are partially raised to create a three-dimensional experience of different spaces. Large sliding doors provide openness to the reserved living room on the ground floor, which in turn allows the spaces to be separated from each other through different uses, while the hand-finished textured paint walls define the open spaces. Meanwhile, the use of two black handmade tiles in different proportions of area creates a sense of mystery.

入口和中间区域部分抬高，形成不同空间的立体体验。大面积移门为一楼的预留起居室提供了开放性，又可以通过不同的使用将空间相互隔开，而手工完成的肌理涂料墙壁则界定了开放空间。同时，两块黑色手工砖不同面积比例的使用形成一种神秘感。

The space mixes a variety of materials, using copper, aluminium, handmade bricks, stone, micro-cement, and texture paint, and by controlling the proportion of materials used, it ultimately achieves rhythm and balance. The whole space is centred on a handmade purple copper rotary staircase. The handmade feel of the materials will appropriately convey an air of warmth, so the space somehow has a serene and warm atmosphere.

空间混搭了多种材料，使用了紫铜、铝、手工砖、石材、微水泥、肌理涂料，通过控制材料的使用比例，最终达到了节奏上的韵律和平衡。整个空间以手工制作的紫铜旋转楼梯为中心，材料的手工感会恰当地传达出温暖的气质，因此空间在某种程度上有一种宁静、温暖的氛围。

Donald Judd, a leading figure in American minimalism, valued objects in their own right and believed that ‘shapes, volumes, colours, surfaces are things in themselves. They should not be buried among other things.’

美国极简主义的领军人物唐纳德·贾德（Donald Judd）重视物体本身的价值，并认为“形状、体积、颜色、表面就是事物本身。它们不应该被埋没在其他事物中。”

The legacy of the original building's casement windows and structure was a difficult part of the project's transformation, and one that had to be addressed if the design team wanted to change the aura of the space. If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then the windows had to be the spirit of the building. As it is located on the top floor, there is plenty of light, so the adjustment of the proportion of the windows is an important basis for controlling the indoor and outdoor space to achieve harmony. The subdued entry of light will give the space a sense of ambience and pleasure.

原建筑遗留的开窗和结构是本项目改造的难点，如果设计团队想改变空间的气质，就必须解决这个难题。如果说眼睛是心灵的窗户，那么窗户就必须是建筑的精神所在。由于它位于顶楼，光线充足，因此窗户比例的调整是控制室内外空间达到协调的重要依据。抑扬顿挫的光线进入，会让空间有一种氛围和愉悦感。

The design team achieved an unexpected visual balance between the combination of various materials and the clumsy handmade feeling through the carefully considered geometric structure, the proportion of lines and the careful attention to materials. Not only to express the quietness, tranquility and warmth of the space, but also to create a spiritual refuge for the owners.

设计团队通过精心考虑的几何结构、线条比例和对材料的讲究，在各种材料的组合和笨拙的手工感之间实现了意想不到的视觉平衡。不仅是为了表达空间的静谧、安宁和温暖，更是希望给业主创造一个精神的庇护所。

The first floor is the owner's private space, which is divided into more public and private spaces through the use of different materials - the bathroom, study, dressing room and storage room are all wrapped in two ‘boxes’.

二楼是主人的私密空间，通过不同材料的使用，为这个空间分割了更多的公共和私人空间——浴室、书房、更衣室和储藏室都被包裹在两个“盒子”里。

The design team wanted to reduce the number of objects in the house to achieve an ‘empty’ atmosphere, designing more hidden storage features to free up more public space. Large spaces like the living room and master bedroom do not require luxury or significant decoration, as they are usually placed in the best parts of the house and have the best natural light and views.

设计团队希望减少家里的物品，以达到“空”的氛围，设计更多隐藏的存储功能，以释放更多的公共空间，像客厅和主卧室这样的大空间不需要豪华或重要的装饰，因为它们通常被放置在房子里最好的地方，并拥有最好的自然光线和景观。
