纽约建筑事务所MKCA将西村（West Village）某公寓中的过时内饰拆除，将这个原本黯淡无光的空间改造成充满自然采光的场所。

该公寓名为Bank Street，其中有两间卧室、两间浴室，设计师重新对其平面空间进行了设计。

New York architecture firm MKCA has gutted an outdated apartment in the West Village, transforming its dim interiors into light-filled spaces.
Bank Street Apartment is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom property that has been redesigned to make the most of its angular floor plan.

该项目由当地的事务所Michael K Chen Architecture（MKCA）负责设计改造，其业主是有着收藏爱好的一对夫妇，他们有一些艺术作品，家具和装饰品的收藏。

设计师为这座公寓添加了定制的木工活， 储物空间，并结合了酒吧、娱乐区、工作区域，以及拉出式电视柜。

Local firm Michael K Chen Architecture (MKCA) overhauled the residence for a professional couple who already had a notable collection of artwork, furnishings and decorative pieces.
The studio added custom millwork made from bleached ash to add more storage space, integrating a bar, entertaining area, work space, and a pull-out television.

这些橱柜让使用者储藏各种物件，从而让室内区域看上去更加开敞。

该项目的另一个特点是厨房设计，厨房面向起居室和餐厅开放。

This cabinetry allows the residents to hide away their possessions, and gives the impression of more space.
Another feature of the redesign is a kitchen that now opens out onto a living room and dining nook.

厨房原先是一个用墙体围合而成的狭小空间，改造后全新的备餐区域有了自然通风与采光，设计师扩大了厨房操作台，运用的是一块完整的佛蒙特州大理石。

连续的窗户设置让公寓更加开敞，设计师将现有的一系列窗户从原本的条形窗改造成沿着公寓立面的系列长窗，让整个空间可以用于艺术品与装饰品的展示。

Originally a narrow galley enclosed with walls, the new food preparation area has natural light with an airy feel. The countertop was extended, and anchored with a block of Vermont marble.
A continuous window sill runs the width of the apartment, updating the existing series of black-ribboned sash windows to provide space for displaying art and decorative pieces.

一个大型滑动门所形成的房间主要用于家庭办公，另外一个小型客房和餐厅也经过了细致的改造。

A new room formed by a large sliding pocket door creates a private home office when closed. Other subtle changes to the existing floor plan include a smaller guest room and a redesigned dining area.

餐厅里的改造主要由MKCA建筑工作室和纽约设计师Martin Albert共同合作。其中的白色橡木餐桌由MKCA设计、JHWorks制作而成。

In the dining space is custom-made banquette designed by the architecture studio and fabricated by New York designer Martin Albert. The white oak dining table was also designed by MKCA, and built by JHWorks.

主卧套间也经过重新布局，设计师将化妆室远离厨房。另外，门的位置也产生了改变，从而改善了公寓的内部流线。

A master bedroom has been redesigned with an ensuite, while a powder room is now located off the kitchen. The placement of doors has also changed, drastically improving routes around the apartment.

室内的墙体粉刷成白色，并结合有光面大理石台面，现有的白色橡木地板也经过抛光，隐藏式照明系统和电动窗帘让空间焕然一新。

All of the walls are painted white, with light countertops and marble accents. Existing white oak floors were refinished in oil, with new recessed lighting and motorised rolling shades to update the space.

许多位于纽约的公寓都在进行着翻新工作，从而适应不同使用者的不同需求。其他类似案例有很多，例如近期刚完工的公寓阁楼，其屋顶有着露台与泳池，还有一座为某位摄影师而设计的迷你公寓，以及位于纽约翠贝卡两座公寓住宅的合并项目。

Apartments in New York City are constantly updated and refreshed to suit ever-changing occupants. Other examples completed recently include a nearby penthouse with a new rooftop deck and pool, a minimal loft apartment for a photographer and two properties joined together with archways to form a much bigger home in Tribeca.
