The Alan酒店的設(shè)計(jì)源于“想要做一些不同事情”的創(chuàng)新精神，項(xiàng)目將藝術(shù)家、廚師、設(shè)計(jì)師等富有遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)的人集結(jié)在一起，以合作的方式進(jìn)行一系列帶有實(shí)驗(yàn)性質(zhì)的、新鮮的嘗試。酒店坐落于城市的心臟地帶，面對(duì)曼徹斯特美術(shù)館，毗鄰充滿活力的唐人街和繁忙的中央購(gòu)物區(qū)。酒店建筑形式獨(dú)特，共有六個(gè)樓層，內(nèi)部設(shè)有豐富的多功能空間，底層設(shè)有餐廳、咖啡館、酒吧，其余樓層則容納了137間客房。

The Alan was borne from a vision of wanting to do things differently. Something experimental, fresh and with an emphasis on partnerships between artists, chefs, designers, and forward-thinkers. Situated opposite the Manchester Art Gallery, in the heart of the city, next to the vibrancy of Chinatown and the bustle of the central shopping district, The Alan is a unique six-storey building with a pop-up mixed-use space, ground floor restaurant/cafe/bar, and 137 bedrooms.

“The Alan酒店的設(shè)計(jì)始于項(xiàng)目各方之間開(kāi)放且緊密的合作關(guān)系，這些參與者包括：品牌定位團(tuán)隊(duì)、室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)團(tuán)隊(duì)，以及酒店業(yè)主，”Red Deer首席設(shè)計(jì)師Ciarán O ‘Brien說(shuō)，“在設(shè)計(jì)中，我們所感興趣的是尋回這個(gè)地方曾遺失的價(jià)值，通過(guò)將建筑最原始的結(jié)構(gòu)重新暴露在空間，歷史悠久的磚材、凹凸的石雕以及石匠留下的手工痕跡悉數(shù)展示在人們眼前，通過(guò)這種方法，設(shè)計(jì)不僅致敬了建筑豐富的歷史價(jià)值，同時(shí)也活化了室內(nèi)空間，使酒店內(nèi)充滿生機(jī)與活力。原有的石膏板和降低的天花板是室內(nèi)看起來(lái)不協(xié)調(diào)的主要原因之一，因此，設(shè)計(jì)師將這些元素全部拆除，將房間的真實(shí)尺度揭示出來(lái)，進(jìn)而釋放了公共區(qū)域與客房的空間潛力，大大增強(qiáng)了空間的可塑性。

By exposing the building’s modest beginnings – the historic brickwork, the pitted stonework and honest craftsmen marks – they have been able to pay homage to the building’s rich heritage and bring the interior back to life. The original plasterboard and lowered ceilings, which had made the whole building disproportional, were removed, revealing the true tall dimensions of the rooms and unlocking the potential for stunning sculptural additions in both communal areas and guestrooms.

“我一直十分關(guān)注建筑行業(yè)的浪費(fèi)情況，”O(jiān)’Brien說(shuō)，“因此，我們決定在項(xiàng)目中發(fā)掘出大理石碎片中仍然存在的內(nèi)在價(jià)值，盡管它們通常被認(rèn)為是邊角料或‘缺陷’，單獨(dú)來(lái)看，它們似乎是無(wú)用的碎片，但當(dāng)它們作為一個(gè)流動(dòng)的整體時(shí)，它們?cè)诳臻g中就產(chǎn)生了意義。這句話也蘊(yùn)含了一些人生哲理，我們都是由自己的故事拼貼而成的 —— 有些好，有些壞，但都是我們自己的一部分。”

“I had always been acutely aware of how wasteful the construction industry is,” says O’Brien, “and decided to celebrate the inherent value still found in these marble pieces, despite typically being considered as offcuts or ‘defective’. When viewed individually they seem to be useless fragments, but make sense in the space when they flow together as one. Subtly this refers to how we’re all made up of a collage of our personal stories – some good, some bad but all have a part in who we are.”

Red Deer事務(wù)所與制造商，以及Robin Grasby、Mika Kaski、Int Marble等工匠緊密合作，為曾經(jīng)的棉花倉(cāng)庫(kù)開(kāi)啟了新篇章。“客房梳妝臺(tái)在設(shè)計(jì)中至關(guān)重要，它將浴室和臥室這兩個(gè)看上去不可能結(jié)合的元素結(jié)合在一起。”O(jiān)’Brien說(shuō)，“這些梳妝臺(tái)整合了多重功能，從衣柜到水槽，從鏡子到隔斷，每一件都堪稱一件精美的藝術(shù)品，并以不同的尺度迎合了不同類型客房的需求。”

Red Deer worked with makers and craftsmen Robin Grasby, Mika Kaski and Int Marble to transform the former cotton warehouse. “The guest room vanity units are a feat of engineering in their marriage of the impossible joints of a shower and bedroom,” says O’Brien. “They ful?l so many functions, from wardrobe to sink, mirror to partition, all whilst being a sculptural art piece in their own right, helping to anchor the room against its vast size.”

“在我參與的每個(gè)項(xiàng)目中，我都提倡減少材料和能源的浪費(fèi)。消費(fèi)者在選擇具有相同價(jià)值的品牌時(shí)變得越來(lái)越挑剔，因此，我希望Red Deer能夠一直站在建筑行業(yè)的前沿，展示室內(nèi)如何重新分配‘價(jià)值’，并在保護(hù)地球與環(huán)境情況下，將老舊的建筑改造成美麗的空間。”O(jiān)’Brien解釋道。

“I advocate for disrupting waste streams in materials and energy on every project I work on. Consumers are becoming increasingly selective in aligning themselves with brands that have the same values, and I want Red Deer to be at the architectural forefront of showcasing how interiors can reassign ‘value’ and be transformed into beautiful spaces without a huge cost to the earth. ” says Ciarán O’Brien, Lead designer

The ‘living’ functions of the guest rooms were accentuated through the use of a long terrazzo shelf, made by Robin Grasby, and light ?ttings crafted around waste materials with a kinetic playfulness, made by Mika Kaski. “We worked with Mika Kaski on light ?ttings for the Ground Floor public areas and the swivel and alabaster lights for the bedrooms,” says O’Brien. “They are lively, balanced lights that respond to touch and the transfer of energy of the room’s inhabitants.”

與所有Red Deer項(xiàng)目一樣，建筑師追求設(shè)計(jì)的敏感性，旨在盡可能多地重用原始材料，修復(fù)和刷新建筑的現(xiàn)有部分，同時(shí)盡可能回收利用廢舊材料。例如，項(xiàng)目中帶有水磨石拼貼碎片和廢棄的大理石碎片的地板就充分證明了這一理念，這種大理石材料由Red Deer與Int合作設(shè)計(jì)定制，可謂是閉環(huán)設(shè)計(jì)方法的完美體現(xiàn)。

As with all Red Deer projects, a sensitive approach was taken to reuse as much of the original materials as possible, repairing and refreshing existing parts of the building and engaging in disrupted waste streams. The ground floor terrazzo collage of fragmented and discarded marble pieces, crafted in collaboration with Int. Marble, is a perfect example of this circular design approach.

“我們可謂是時(shí)代的先鋒，因?yàn)槲覀兺耆捎没厥詹牧希瑒?chuàng)造出新一代的材料，可持續(xù)性不再是膚淺的‘綠色’粉飾，而是項(xiàng)目原則的組成部分。在The Alan酒店中，我們還沒(méi)有做到完美，但我們?cè)诓牧系脑倮谩⒔ㄖF(xiàn)有區(qū)域的修復(fù)更新，以及處理回收建筑廢料上邁出了很多步，正如上文所述，這是設(shè)計(jì)的基本理念。”主創(chuàng)設(shè)計(jì)師O’Brien說(shuō)道。

“We are the ?rst designers to operate in an era where we have a whole new generation of materials to play with made from recycled content. Sustainability should no longer be a skin-deep greenwashing, but integral to the principles of the project. At The Alan we haven’t been perfect, but we have taken many steps forward in that direction to the sensitive reuse of materials, the repair and refreshment of existing areas in the building and engaging with disrupted waste streams as noted above as a founding idea of the design.” says Ciarán O’Brien, Lead designer

Red Deer事務(wù)所以塑造富有感情的空間與家具作品而聞名，此次The Alan酒店的室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)理念不以“風(fēng)格”為驅(qū)動(dòng)，而是旨在讓空間在情感層面上與人們產(chǎn)生聯(lián)系與共鳴，進(jìn)而創(chuàng)造出永恒而優(yōu)雅的空間感受。作為一次有力的設(shè)計(jì)實(shí)踐，Red Deer事務(wù)所認(rèn)為設(shè)計(jì)敘事與旅行和自然的聯(lián)系是他們所有項(xiàng)目的新鮮和真實(shí)視角的基礎(chǔ)，并且他們深知酒店項(xiàng)目的成功是需要在項(xiàng)目各方的緊密合作與共同努力下才能實(shí)現(xiàn)的，這一點(diǎn)在本項(xiàng)目的設(shè)計(jì)與建造過(guò)程中尤為明顯。

Red Deer are renowned for creating spaces and objects with feeling. Their concept for The Alan was driven by purpose rather than style, to ensure the space connected and resonated with people on an emotive level and, in turn, created a lasting feeling. As a practice they feel a connection to travel and nature is fundamental to a fresh and authentic perspective for all of their projects. Red Deer understand that projects of the nature and scale of hotels require an international framework, agility and a global team effort. This is evident in their design of The Alan.

“Red Deer想要挑戰(zhàn)傳統(tǒng)。如今的酒店行業(yè)充斥著許多夸張或過(guò)時(shí)的‘品牌指南’，對(duì)于我們這代人來(lái)說(shuō)，真正的奢侈品是寧?kù)o的空間，以及能夠激勵(lì)人心，引人微笑的，經(jīng)過(guò)深思熟慮的作品。我們認(rèn)為酒店需要重新書寫自己的品牌書，在這個(gè)世界上，我們什么都見(jiàn)過(guò)了，如今，我們要有勇氣以不同的方式做事。”O(jiān)’Brien說(shuō)，“藝術(shù)總是在我參與的每個(gè)項(xiàng)目中激發(fā)我的靈感 —— 我所尋求的是設(shè)計(jì)并制作出‘可用的’藝術(shù)作品，這些藝術(shù)作品可以與人們互動(dòng)，并幫助人們重新思考他們與周圍空間的關(guān)系。”

“Red Deer want to challenge conventions. The hotel industry is saturated with ‘brand guidelines’ – many of which are over the top or antiquated. True luxury to our generation is space and quiet and considered pieces that inspire or make someone smile. We believe the hotel brand book needs to be rewritten to incorporate courage to do things differently, in a world where we’ve all seen everything before.” says Ciarán O’Brien, Lead designer，“Art always inspires me in every project I take on – I seek to make usable art pieces that are interacted with and help people rethink their relationship with the spaces around them.”
