Bates Smart将1980年代的建筑改造成一个现代，豪华的陈列室，提供了引人入胜的客户体验，并体现了Living Edge品牌长寿，简约和可持续性的价值。由Grant Filipoff领导的Bates Smart设计团队将建筑精简到最原始的结构，用精致的材料和最少的插入物为室内增添了现代感。
Bates Smart transformed the 1980s building into a modern, luxurious showroom that provides an inviting and engaging customer experience and reflects the Living Edge brand values of longevity, simplicity and sustainability. Lead by Grant Filipoff, Bates Smart design team pared the building back to its bones and took a modern touch to the interior with a refined material palette and minimal inserts.
Living Edge的家具和照明来自世界著名品牌，包括Herman Miller、Walter Knoll、BassamFellows、Muuto和BD Barcelona，它们都陈列在开放的一楼，每个品牌都有自己的区域。黑色的天花板，暴露的横梁和结构柱提供了一个黑暗的背景来展示照明。木材和砖块的自然、中性材料与家具相得益彰。硬件和固定装置具有微妙的工业优势。
Furniture and lighting from Living Edge’s world-renowned brands, including Herman Miller, Walter Knoll, BassamFellows, Muuto and BD Barcelona, are displayed on the open ground floor, with each brand occupying its own area. The black ceiling, exposed beams and structural columns provide a dark backdrop to showcase the lighting. The natural, neutral material palette of timber and brick complements the furniture. Hardware and fixtures have a subtle industrial edge.
汤姆·迪克森(Tom Dixon)的闪亮铜质大餐桌是Living Edge系列的新成员，它是作为销售柜台的一件标志性物品，上面悬挂着他的反射镜球吊坠。
New to the Living Edge collection, Tom Dixon’s glistening brass-clad Mass Dining Table is a statement piece that serves as the sale counter, with a series of his reflective Mirror Ball Pendants suspended above.
建筑物的中央砌砖芯谨慎地隐藏了楼梯和服务设施。楼梯可通往俯瞰教堂街的接待活动空间。Libreria del Vino餐厅是厨房和酒吧的引人注目的背景，而Buster + Punch硬件则给人以摇滚的感觉。贝茨·斯玛特（Bates Smart）继续围绕着第一层所有四个侧面的缎带窗户，并将内部漆成白色，以最大化楼上的自然光线。服务也已升级，并以可持续和节能产品取代。
The central brick-clad core of the building discreetly conceals the staircase and services. The stairs provide access to the hospitality event space overlooking Church Street. The Libreria del Vino is a dramatic backdrop to the kitchen and bar, while Buster + Punch hardware lends a rock-n-roll edge. Bates Smart continued the ribbon windows around all four sides of level one and painted the interior white to maximise natural light upstairs. Services have also been upgraded and replaced with sustainable and energy-efficient products.
