Yael Siso | 特拉维夫 The Levee LOFT风格酒店-设计风向

The Levee坐落在以色列特拉维夫最古老的街区之一的Neve Tzedek一座历史悠久的别墅里，这是该镇最新的酒店，提供八套宽敞的公寓，空间低调豪华而具有现代感，让客人感到宾至如归。经过9年的精心修复，这座两层楼高的别墅采用了全新的屋顶覆盖式顶层公寓，其现代感与其百年建筑风格截然不同，创造出一种混搭的感觉，抓住了这座城市的时代精神。

Housed in a historic villa in Neve Tzedek, one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Tel Aviv, Israel, “The Levee” is the town’s latest hospitality arrival offering eight spacious apartments of understated luxury and contemporary sophistication where guests can feel at home. Gracefully revamped during nine years of meticulous restoration, the two-storey villa is crowned by a new rooftop-spanning penthouse whose contemporary sensibility, far from clashing with the century-old architecture, creates a hybrid sensibility that captures the city’s zeitgeist.

酒店由来自以色列比利时的室内设计师Yael Siso设计，The Levee的八套公寓遵循了建筑外部的折衷主义，并结合了工业氛围和基于中世纪的优雅和现代极简主义的精致美学。

Designed by Israeli-Belgian interior designer Yael Siso, The Levee’s eight apartments follow the exterior’s eclectic paradigm by combining an industrial vibe with a refined aesthetic based on mid-century elegance and modern minimalism.

这座别墅最初被命名为Gurevitch，建于1913年，现在是特拉维夫联合国教科文组织世界遗产的一部分，特拉维夫拥有4000座包豪斯和折衷主义建筑风格的建筑。在设计新的顶层公寓，以及对建筑后立面进行扩建时，建筑师没有模仿现有建筑折衷风格的风格，而是将新古典主义的影响和东方的细节融合在一起，并选择了一个完全包裹在金属格栅中的立方体体量作为当代美学的形式。

Originally named The Gurevitch House, the villa was built in 1913 and is now part of Tel Aviv’s UNESCO World Heritage site of 4,000 Bauhaus and Eclectic architecture-style buildings. When it came to designing the new penthouse, as well as an extension at the back of the building, instead of emulating the eclectic style of the existing building which can be summed up as an amalgamation of neoclassical influences and oriental details, the architects choose a contemporary aesthetic in the form of a cubic volume completely clad in metal grating.

8间公寓面积从115平方米到280平方米不等，空间宽敞明亮，拥有大窗户和落地玻璃窗，层高很高并且采光充足。与别墅经过修复的外观的历史外观相反，翻新的阁楼式内饰以工业美学为基础，采用未经处理的水泥墙，板形混凝土天花板和外露管道。

Ranging from 115 to 280 square metres, all eight apartments feel spacious and bright, blessed as they are with generous ceiling heights and plenty of daylight, courtesy of large windows and floor to ceiling glazing in the penthouse. Contrary to the historic look of the villa’s restored exterior, the refurbished loft-like interiors are underpinned by an industrial aesthetic featuring untreated cement walls, board-formed concrete ceilings and exposed air ducts.

如果粗糙的表面体现了特拉维夫充满活力的过去，那么完美的现代装饰和优雅的现代家具则表达了现代城市的生活。漂亮的木地板、最小的玻璃隔断和精心制作的内置家具给空间注入了一种无拘无束的精致感，此外，意大利标志性品牌的现代派和现代派作品也为其增色不少。

If the rugged, rough-hewn surfaces embody Tel Aviv’s dynamic past, then the impeccable modern finishes and elegant contemporary furnishings speak of the city’s celebrated present. Beautiful timber floors, minimal glass partitions and exquisitely crafted built-in furniture imbue the spaces with a sense of nonchalant sophistication, which is further enhanced by an eclectic collection of modernist and contemporary pieces from iconic Italian brands.
