Excell已经完成了 "Camden Workshop "项目，这是一个独特的从仓库到家庭住宅的项目，其客户要求是回收和再利用。这座废弃的仓库曾经是著名雕塑家McLaren的艺术工作室。Excell与客户合作，对建筑进行改造，增加其容积和使用潜力。

Excell has completed‘Camden Workshop’, a unique warehouse-to-family home project with a rare client brief rooted in recycling and repurposing. Once a disused warehouse-come-art studio for a notable sculptor, McLaren. Excell worked with the client to remodel and increase the volume of the building and its usage potential.

Iro工作室的Lucy Currell被指定与McLaren Excell合作完成该方案，确保McLaren Excell工作室的建筑外观和室内设计元素与室内软装和装饰艺术品之间协调一致。Lucy与客户密切合作，策划了所有软装、装饰元素和家具修复工作。

Lucy Currell of Studio Iro was appointed to work with McLaren Excell on the scheme, ensuring cohesion between architectural exterior and interior design elements by the McLaren Excell studio and the interior soft furnishing and decorative objet d'art. Lucy, working closely with the client, curated all soft furnishings, decorative elements and furniture restoration work.

整座建筑的结构和材料都采用了可减轻环境影响的材料，并保留了原始、裸露的天然材料。这既是客户的指示，也是工作室的特色，增加专业饰面只会进一步彰显砖砌结构、木梁或石膏饰面等元素。McLaren Excell 主张将保留和改造作为现有结构的可持续建筑实践。项目中的所有地板都是使用回收木材建造的，建筑原有的地板也被回收利用，形成了一楼大厅和卧室入口空间的特色镶板墙。

Construction and materials throughout the building were used to mitigate the environmental impact and retain original, exposed raw and natural materials. A directive from the client but also a signature of the studio, adding specialist finishes that only serve to further celebrate the elements like the brickwork, wooden beams or plasterwork. McLaren. Excell champions retention and retrofitting as a sustainable building practice for existing structures. All the floors in the project are constructed using recycled timbers, and the building’s original floors have been recycled to form the feature panelled walls in the hall and bedroom-entry space on the first floor.

整个建筑的色调朴实自然，一楼和二楼之间的风格节奏变化明显。Studio Iro在整个车间项目中采用了柔和的色调，重点是坚持只采用天然材料的指示。新旧家具混搭，营造出宁静、舒适和熟悉的氛围。大型玻璃门窗是一个重复的主题，将外面的野外花园（包括蜂箱）映衬其中，一楼的窗户高达3米。通过设计特色，McLaren. Excell引入可移动的墙壁和门，实现了保持楼上开放感的愿望，并使花园和室外的景色始终一览无余。

There’s unity in the earthy, natural colour tones throughout the property, with a noticeable change in character tempo between the ground and the first floor. Studio Iro introduced a muted colour palette throughout the workshop project, focused on upholding the directive to adopt only natural materials. A mixture of old and new furniture pieces was curated to create serenity, comfort and familiarity. The large glass windows and doors are a repeat theme, framing the wild garden - complete with beehives - beyond, with the first floor boasting windows that measure 3m tall. Through design features, McLaren. Excell has been able to meet the desire of keeping the upstairs feeling open and the view of the garden and outside always accessible by introducing walls and doors that move and can be entirely opened flat to allow a straight line of sight to the garden and city rooftops beyond.

花园是一片植物绿洲，是伦敦繁忙生活的休憩之所。园内有蜂箱、池塘和旨在鼓励蝴蝶、蜜蜂和其他昆虫的色调，倡导生物多样性，是一个充满野性和奇思妙想的景观。草地的运动和轻松的形态，以及植物和花卉的鲜绿和紫色，与车间的灰砖外墙形成了鲜明的对比。从旋律上看，大自然的色调与建筑中的土制材料之间形成了一种亲切感。

The garden is a botanical oasis, a respite from London’s busyness. Championing biodiversity with beehives, a pond and a palette designed to encourage butterflies, bees and other insects, it is a wild and whimsical scape. The movement and relaxed form of the grasses and the colours of the bright greens and purples from the plants and flowers are a striking contrast to the grey brick exterior of the workshop. Melodically, this creates a kinship between nature’s hues and the earth-made materials in the build.
