Appreciation towards Red Deer for providing the following description:

项目位于伦敦郊区历史悠久的De Vere Theobalds庄园内，庄园内一些最古老的部分可以追溯到十五世纪末期。项目酒店所在的豪宅建于1763年，现已被列为国家二级保护建筑。在过去，庄园主们通常以整合的方式来管理土地与资源。受到前人智慧的启发，Birch酒店致力于融入周围环境，并开发出一条以自然为主导的，从庄园产品到餐饮的完整产业链。Birch的管理者认为传统的酒店模式与陈旧的室内装潢，已经不再能满足当今不断变化的市场需求。

Inspired by the resourcefulness of the past, where old estates used to manage their resources and land holistically, Birch spaces aim to work with their environments as much as possible, from estate-made produce to nature-led restaurants. Some of the oldest parts of the estate date back to the 15t h-century, while the mansion house itself was built in 1763. Now a Grade II*-listed building, the existing rooms were what you would expect from a traditional hotel, which Birch felt no longer met the needs of today’s changing market.

项目由Red Deer事务所与酒店创始人Chris King和Chris Penn共同设计完成。改造后的Birch酒店将颠覆人们对传统酒店的刻板印象，彰显出全新的生活模式，成为新一代年轻人的世外桃源。项目旨在挑战传统酒店千篇一律的室内风格与空间浪费。Red Deer事务所深入研究了Birch酒店现有的资源，并把它们纳入改造方案中。例如，在先前的翻新中，接待大厅地毯下面的地板被用白色油漆编号，设计师并没有将这些痕迹覆盖住，而是将其暴露出来，使其成为室内装饰的一部分。这种手法，将酒店的历史与发展过程悉数展示在人们眼前。

Designed in collaboration with Birch founders Chris King and Chris Penn, the new lifestyle hotel sees the former De Vere Theobalds Estate hotel totally reimagined as an escape from urban living, where everything you think you know about traditional hotel life is turned on its head. Red Deer was also adamant that traditional tendencies towards wastefulness and uniformity were challenged throughout the hotel. As part of this process, Red Deer looked at how they could work with what already existed at Birch. For example, the floorboards underneath the carpet in the reception area were numbered in white paint from a previous renovation. Rather than cover the marks Red Deer exposed them and celebrated the evolution, with the painted numbers becoming part of the decorative features in the room.

设计师仅在必要的部位对酒店进行了改造，使室内风格变得舒适轻盈。设计的重点在于修复与重新利用酒店内现有的材料，移除多余的家具，将杂乱的空间整合成富有思想深度的空间。

Red Deer approached the renovation with an inspiring touch of lightness, setting out to only intervene where it counted, reusing and repairing the existing site’s materials, and stripping back clutter and unnecessary furniture to create more thoughtful spaces.

“我们希望以最小的干预对项目进行室内改造，并保留其原始的格鲁吉亚风格。”事务所创始人Ciarán O’Brien说，“建筑本身已经营造出非常强烈的背景氛围，因此我们以存在即合理的角度看待每一个空间。任何对空间的干预，都基于空间内现有的元素。带有故事性的设计，使我们可以轻易地想象出改造后房间内的使用场景。”

“We wanted to take a light touch on the existing features and celebrate the Georgian building,” says Ciarán O’Brien, co-founder of Red Deer. “The building created a really strong backdrop, so we looked at each space from the point of what already existed. Any intervention within a space needed to work with that, and once you build that design story it allows us to imagine how that room will operate.”

项目内材料的修复，受到了日本的金继工艺（kintsugi）的启发。这是一种使用金漆粉修补陶瓷的日本传统工艺。设计师计划将相同的理念贯彻到项目内任何可以修补的材料上。“当某件物品损坏时，与其直接换掉不如尽力去修复它，就如同在本项目中，将破损与修补痕迹作为建筑历史的一部分，而不是去掩盖它。”

Taking inspiration from the Japanese craft of kintsugi, where broken pottery is highly visibly repaired using gold-dusted lacquer, the plan going forward is to carry through the same philosophy to anything that can be mended: “As something breaks, it can be fixed rather than replaced, telling a new story whilst treating both the breakage and repair as part of the history of the place, rather than something to disguise.”

在当今的社会环境下，金继工艺（kintsugi）将为Birch酒店与客人之间带来巨大的共鸣。作为一家帮助人们逃离现代生活压力与美完主义的世外桃源般的酒店，正视“缺点”将成为Birch酒店的一大特色与卖点。

In today’s social climate kintsugi’s potential to resonate with hotel guests is considerable. As a hotel offering an escape from the city, and all the pressures of perfectionism in modern-day living, the idea that “flaws” should be appreciated is compelling.

Red Deer事务所相信，在致力于长期的可持续发展下，Birch将成为新建酒店或酒店翻新项目的里程碑。

Red Deer believe Birch to be an example of how hospitality projects should be approached, considering a long-term commitment to sustainability within a renovation or new build as a crucial component of architectural design.

客房内，引人注目的电视与工作桌，被温暖的定制家具与本地手工艺术品所取代。在这个安静的空间里，人们可以屏蔽掉日常生活的压力，得到全心身的放松与休息。

The bedrooms have been stripped of attention-grabbing TVs and work-orientated desks to remove the pressures of daily life, and filled instead with warm well-crafted furniture and locally made artwork to offer a calm space in which to switch off and unwind.

为了迎合自然为本的理念，Red Deer事务所邀请了当地艺术家与手工业者参与到项目中。对Red Deer事务所而言，Birch酒店内的家具不应该是量产的工业制品，而应该是一系列独特且舒适实用的艺术品。其中最具代表性的家具作品是由Jan Hendzel工作室设计定制的多功能衣架。

With the Birch ethos placing such an emphasis on the collaborative creative nature of the space, Red Deer felt it crucial to bring local artists and makers on-board to work on the interior projects and create some truly unique pieces to be enjoyed by the guests, challenging the idea that uniformity was essential for large batch runs of furniture.

这个衣架融合了多名艺术家的心血，由几个部分组成，包括由利用可持续材料进行创作的设计师Charlotte Kidger制作的再生塑料球，陶艺师Emma Louise Payne的质感花瓶以及金属匠Lucie Naujalis手工打造的铜碗。该作品是对空间中色彩、纹理与细部三大要素的抽象与完美展现。

The most prominent of these pieces is a bespoke valet stand manufactured by Jan Hendzel Studio, utilising recycled plastic orbs by sustainable material designer Charlotte Kidger, textured vases by ceramicist Emma Louise Payne and hand-beaten copper bowls by metalsmith Lucie Naujalis. In a space where colour, texture and detail take centre stage, the valet stand is a wonderful demonstration of all three.
