将芝加哥一家老旧的西尔斯百货改造成现代化零售和住宅需要哪些条件

Lead designer and MG2 principal Jooyeol Oh talked with C+CT contributing editor Joel Groover about 六角阁楼, a transformed historic Chicago Sears building that is now a mixed-use development.

MG2’s Community Environments team carefully preserved the building’s art deco character while introducing contemporary elements like floor-to-ceiling windows and a new top floor with luxury amenities.

“We punched floor-to-ceiling windows and added balconies and terraces. This allowed us to modernize the old Sears retail store and warehouse to a residential use while preserving its art deco character. To expand the number of residential units, we added a whole new 31-unit wing that complements the look and feel of its counterpart.”

布莱恩的职业生涯涵盖了广泛的项目，从小型零售店铺的租户改造到大型高层住宅开发项目，不一而足。如此丰富的经验使他直接接触到各种建筑结构类型和建筑系统的独特技术要求。布莱恩拥有华盛顿大学建筑学学士学位和俄勒冈大学建筑学硕士学位。

伍兹餐厅

麦基诺岛上的伍兹餐厅多年来一直是宾客和游客的挚爱之所。这座都铎式宅邸最初由库达希家族于1905年建造，最初是一座精致的剧场。然而，多年来，它几经易主，曾被用作各种用途，从休闲场所到教堂，再到如今备受珍视的巴伐利亚主题餐厅。

为了跟上不断变化的口味和潮流，同时尊重其悠久的传统，该餐厅最近与 MG2 合作，对其内部进行了翻新和更新，同时保留了游客熟悉和喜爱的经典体验。

该项目旨在打造一个融汇新旧元素、和谐统一的环境，在彰显餐厅历史魅力的同时，对其进行翻新以达到现代标准，并为之前未得到充分利用的区域注入新的活力。为了实现这些目标，翻新团队几乎触及了餐厅内的每个空间，从Bobby's Bar到The Patio at Woods。

崭新的庇护所

入口大厅经过了意义非凡的改造，配备了全新家具、嵌入式长椅和彩色玻璃墙，与主餐厅的外部环境和彩色玻璃窗完美融合。这些元素营造出一个独特而崭新的空间，更增添了餐厅的历史魅力和特色。

个人风格和旧世界魅力

Bobby's Bar 以一只屡获殊荣的表演犬命名，经过翻新扩建，为宾客提供了更多座位和焕然一新的氛围。酒吧内摆放着 Bobby 生平的照片、奖项和纪念品，为空间增添了一丝个性化色彩。周围深绿色的树叶被巧妙地重新设计，打造出立体的瓷砖吧台。原有的黄铜栏杆经过巧妙改造，变成了悬挂式黄铜酒架和玻璃储物柜，更增添了浓郁的复古魅力。

清新、亲切的优雅

大厅里的装置、家具和设备都焕然一新，而餐厅的“巴伐利亚狩猎小屋”的魅力和个性也通过历史图案的墙纸和俏皮的林地动物细节得到了精心维护。. 新增加的部分营造出一种奢华的氛围，与空间的高拱形天花板相得益彰，增加了整体用餐体验的优雅。

为了使空间更方便使用，卫生间经过重新配置和扩展，包括 ADA 隔间，确保所有客人都可以在 Woods 享受无限制的用餐体验。

变革性的全新用餐体验

The Chalet 拥有宽敞的玻璃窗，并新增了一个令人惊艳的透明双面壁炉，将室内用餐体验与户外露台延伸部分连接起来，使两种环境完美融合。此外，以动物标本头像和复古奖杯为特色的混搭装饰小品，更增添了一抹独特的韵味，捕捉了房间如画般的景致。

露台进行了扩建，并新增了一个带顶棚的木质玻璃餐厅，使其与现有建筑在视觉上融为一体。餐厅中央的壁炉餐桌营造出温馨舒适的用餐体验。

奖杯厅原本是一个未被充分利用的区域，如今被改造成全新的用餐区。餐厅内安装了嵌入式卡座、金属网屏风和木制品，并配有向上照明，营造出温馨舒适的用餐氛围，让宾客能够饱览远处户外露台的壮丽景色。

和谐的改造

在整个装修过程中，设计团队利用新的或重新装修的室内装置、家具和设备，与餐厅的乡村魅力和现代优雅完美融合。

最终呈现的是一个焕然一新、和谐共存的环境，既致敬伍兹的传奇历史，又兼顾了现代标准。新旧元素的完美融合，营造出一种引人入胜、沉浸式的精致氛围，定会在未来数十年里，为麦基诺岛的宾客和游客留下深刻的印象，带来愉悦的体验。
