作为历史悠久的砂岩区的一部分，这座被列为历史保护建筑的前教育部大楼距悉尼港仅400米，现已作为五星级的悉尼嘉佩乐酒店重新面世，同时也是奢华酒店品牌嘉佩乐在澳大利亚开设的首家酒店。

Make Architects受庞蒂亚克置地集团 (Pontiac Land Group) 委托，精心修复和改建了这座爱德华时期巴洛克风格的前政府地标，为其赋予了新的功能。建筑底层首次向公众完全开放，具有标志性意义。BAR Studio负责为整座酒店设计精致的室内空间。

设计团队与顾问和利益相关者（包括新南威尔士州遗产中心和悉尼市）密切合作，彰显这座历史保护建筑的原始特征。原建筑由政府建筑师George McRae设计，可追溯至1912年。麦克雷设计的宏伟建筑拥有佛罗伦萨宫殿风格的砂岩立面，以及覆有大理石的前厅，这里也将成为全世界最具影响力的酒店之一。

悉尼嘉佩乐酒店拥有192间客房、活动空间以及3间类型不同的酒吧和餐厅，是一座与都市生活紧密联系的地标性下榻场所。归属感是该项目整体设计愿景中不可或缺的一部分。

原八层建筑始建于一个多世纪前，分为两个部分，占据了整片街区。对建筑的重新布局是一项重大任务，尤其在经历了时代的更迭后，许多内部空间的完整性因结构的临时改变而受损。

项目尽可能恢复了McRae原始的建筑设计方案，包括位于底层的内庭花园（现名为 Aperture）。周围的空间以富有想象力的方式构建为公共餐厅、酒吧以及会议室和多功能厅等各种全新功能区域。

位于6层的前教育部美术馆被保留并改造成屡获殊荣的Auriga水疗中心。这里设有20米的精美泳池、健身房和个人护理空间。这处空间顶部由铜衬的古董屋顶灯饰点亮，在经过精心修复和重新设计后将日光引入洒向这个独具特色的健康目的地。创新工程的采用将泳池植入了原有结构。

扩建四层后，建筑总楼层达到了11层。这个现代化的增建结构，具有定制的凹槽翅片和弧形玻璃角。增建部分沿建筑边缘向内退界，以体现对原有砂岩结构的尊重。历史建筑的楼层和扩建楼层中均设计有多种客房。其中，历史建筑中房间的设计旨在展示既有窗户的比例，最大限度地减少对原始结构的影响，同时融入了现代化的设施。

扩建层为Make的设计团队提供了重新构想屋顶景观的机会。这里被设计为建筑的第五个立面，以积极的贡献参与到城市景观中，为酒店附近高层建筑的居民提供了优美的视野。定制的穿孔幕墙和凹槽覆层将屋顶的服务设备隐藏在后。BAR Studio的室内设计沿用了已有的建筑结构，与曾经实用风格的室内空间形成了鲜明的对比。设计表达回应了原始建筑的理性主义和功能性，同时融入了反映建筑起源时代的设计姿态，例如使用黑钢和钢框玻璃屏风和门，巧妙地体现了当时的工业时代风格。反复出现的木材或金属框架大门在界定空间、饰面、艺术和物品方面发挥着重要作用。

暖灰色石材和深浅木材的中性配色灵感源自既有建筑及其设计元素，同时营造出一种城市桃花源的舒缓氛围。设计特色受到时代的启发，黑白大理石地板、古董镜子以及在整个用餐品酒空间引入的现代拱门，是对过去时代的优雅魅力的现代诠释。

通过采用既有建筑的深色木材和金属框架元素以及空间划分元素，清晰的设计特征从入口延伸到客房空间中。由过去对灵活旅行物品的需求衍生出的活动家具，为独立式衣柜、迷你吧及集成皮革屏风提供了灵感。

从外部看，酒店在花拉广场街道和悉尼嘉佩乐酒店的天窗内院间建立了自然的联系。设计团队规划了一个到达序列，让公众从历史迈向现在，这一旅程还通过公共艺术展览和对遗产空间的诠释得到进一步加强。Freeman Ryan Design和The Artling的艺术策划带来了别样的故事讲述，精心布置的作品在酒店的公共空间展出，成为一种分享该地区丰富遗产的方式。

后勤设施分布在新的地下三层空间，从而减少对地面遗产结构的影响。经过策略性规划，这些地下设施层，致力为教育大楼和邻近的土地大楼提供服务，并提高能源使用效率，同时最大限度地减少该区域的碳足迹。

Make的项目建筑师米歇尔·埃文斯 (Michelle Evans) 谈到：“我们很自豪能够参与到这个城市中千载难逢的项目中。设计愿景的核心是将这座建筑向公众开放。在底层，我们设计了到达序列，以发挥空间规模的作用，邀请公众进入过去无法进入的建筑，将客人从花拉广场、精心修复的建筑遗产入口引至双层高的接待处，激活原始中庭的开放性。”

BAR Studio联合创始人兼创意总监斯图尔特·罗伯逊 (Stewart Robertson) 表示：“悉尼嘉佩乐酒店所在的遗产建筑是我们的室内设计的根基和灵感来源。从底层空间的连续性演变而来，将花拉广场的城市景观与内庭花园连接起来，我们使用框景细腻地连接和分隔公共空间。整个酒店的框架、拱门和门户加之多层设计，致力创造一个仿佛会随着时间的推移不断演变的空间，同时又充满了新鲜现代的氛围。”

悉尼嘉佩乐酒店总经理Marc von Arnim表示：“嘉佩乐品牌是奢华、卓越的待客之道和沉浸式文化体验的代名词。悉尼嘉佩乐酒店通过无可比拟的遗产工作、建筑和室内设计、前沿的健康设施以及超越预期的变革性宾客体验，将这一理念提升到全新高度，世界一流的住宿和餐饮也是该处闻名的特色。”

悉尼嘉佩乐酒店已于2023年3月开幕。

Located 400m from Sydney Harbour, the heritage-listed former Department of Education building, part of the historic Sandstone Precinct, has reopened as the 5-star Capella Sydney hotel, the first Australian property from luxury hospitality brand Capella Hotels and Resorts.

Make Architects was appointed by Pontiac Land Group to sensitively restore and remodel this former Edwardian Baroque-style governmental landmark for new uses, significantly opening the ground floor to be fully accessible to the public for the first time, with BAR Studio designing the refined new interiors throughout the hotel.

The design team worked closely with consultants and stakeholders, including Heritage NSW and the City of Sydney, to reveal the original character of the protected building, which dates from 1912 and was designed by government architect George McRae. The grandeur of McRae's architecture, with its Florentine-Palazzo style sandstone facade and marble-clad vestibules, lends itself to a future role as one of the world's leading hotels.

With 192 guest rooms, event spaces, and 3 different bar and restaurant offerings, Capella Sydney forms a landmark home that is connected to the life of the city centre. This sense of belonging has been integral to the overall design vision for the project.

Originally built in two halves over a century ago, the former 8-storey building occupies an entire city block. Its reconfiguration has been a major undertaking, especially as the integrity of many internal spaces has been compromised over the years by ad hoc changes made to the building's fabric.

McRae's original design intent has been restored wherever possible, including the reinstatement of its internal garden courtyard, now named Aperture, on the ground floor. The surrounding spaces have been imaginatively repurposed for new uses, such as a variety of publicly accessible restaurants and bars and meeting and function rooms.

The former Department of Education's gallery on level 6 has been preserved and transformed into the award-winning Auriga Spa, featuring a stunning 20m swimming pool, fitness suite and private treatment rooms. The space is top-lit with copper-lined heritage roof lanterns that have been carefully restored and reimagined to draw in and diffuse the daylight into this unique wellbeing destination. Innovative engineering was required to insert the pool into the existing structure.

Four additional floors have also been added to the building, taking it to 11 storeys. This complementary modern extension, with bespoke fluted fins and curved glass corners, has been set back to respect the original sandstone structure. A variety of guestroom offerings have been designed across both the heritage and extension levels. In the existing building, rooms are designed to showcase the existing window proportions and minimise impact to the original structure while ensuring modern amenities are incorporated.

The new extension levels have presented Make with an opportunity to reimagine the roofscape. Designed as a fifth elevation, it now makes a positive contribution to the cityscape for those occupying high-rise buildings neighbouring the hotel. Bespoke perforated screens and fluted cladding conceal the plant and services on the roof.

The interiors by BAR Studio embrace the existing built fabric and create a counterpoint to the once-utilitarian interiors. The design narrative responds to the rationalism and functionality of the original architecture while weaving in design gestures that speak to the buildings' era and origins, like the use of black steel and steel-framed glazed screens and doors that make a subtle reference to the Age of Industry. A recurring motif of timber or metal-framed portals plays an important role in the definition of spaces, finishes, art and objects.

A neutral base palette of warm grey stone and dark and light timber takes its cue from the building's original architecture and design elements while creating a sense of a soothing urban sanctuary. Era-inspired design features, such as the black and white marble floor, antique mirrors, and introduction of contemporary arches throughout the drinking and dining spaces, are a modern take on the elegance and glamour of the time.

The design signature of bold portals carries through to the guest rooms, with dark wood and metal framing elements of the existing building as well as 'zoning' the different areas of the rooms.

Campaign furniture - rooted in the need for flexible travel pieces in bygone days - has inspired freestanding wardrobes and minibars, as well as an integrated leather screen.

Externally, the hotel now creates a natural connection between the street at Farrer Place and Capella Sydney's skylit inner courtyard. The team has designed an arrival sequence that welcomes the public in through a journey from existing to new, further strengthened by the curation of public art and heritage interpretation between spaces. Art curation by Freeman Ryan Design and The Artling brings an extra layer of storytelling, with carefully curated works exhibited across the hotel's public spaces as a way to share the area's rich heritage.

Back of house facilities are accommodated across three new basement levels, thereby reducing the impact on the heritage fabric above ground. These underground service levels have been strategically planned to operate for both the Education Building and the neighbouring Lands Building, and provide efficiencies in energy use while minimising the precinct's carbon footprint.

Make's Project Architect, Michelle Evans, says: "We're proud to be involved in this once-in-a-generation project for the city. Opening the building up to the public was key to the design vision. On the ground floor, we designed the arrival sequence to play with scale and invite the public into the previously inaccessible building, taking guests from the beautifully restored heritage entrance at Farrer Place through to the double-height reception evoking the openness of the original atrium."

Stewart Robertson, co-founder and Creative Director of BAR Studio, says: "The heritage building that houses Capella Sydney provided us with the underpinning and inspiration for the interior design. Evolving from the continuity of space on the ground floor - linking the urban landscape of Farrer Place to the internal garden courtyard - we've used framing techniques to both connect and create a sensitive separation of public spaces. Throughout the whole hotel, frames, arches and portals, together with the layered design, aim to create a space that feels like it has always been here and evolved over time, but is at once fresh and modern."

Marc von Arnim, Capella Sydney's General Manager, says: "The Capella brand is synonymous with luxury, excellence in the craft of hospitality, and cultural immersion. Capella Sydney takes this to the next level through unparalleled heritage work, architecture and interior design, state-of-the-art wellness facilities, and transformative guest experiences that go above and beyond the expected, underscored by world-class accommodation and dining."

Capella Sydney opened in March 2023.
