中性色调和温暖的木材创造了一个远离城市街道喧嚣的避难所。通过有色的白墙、天然的木板地板和不复杂的家具，我们试图创造一个远离纽约街道喧嚣的隐居场所。改造后，居民的单人卧室公寓从原来的三楼后半部分扩大到现在的整层楼。面对在纽约的旅游中心设计一个避难所的挑战，我们从斯堪的纳维亚的极简主义和日本的相互联系中获得灵感。
Neutral Tones and Warm Woods Create a Retreat from the Clamor of the City Streets. With tinted white walls, natural plank floors, and uncomplicated furnishings we sought to create a retreat from the clamor of New York’s streets. The renovation expanded the resident’s single bedroom apartment that was the rear half of the building’s third floor to now occupy the entire floor. With the challenge of designing a sanctuary within a tourist center of New York, we took inspiration from Scandinavia minimalism and Japanese interconnectedness.
基础是材料的连续性，用一个低调的焦点来定义每个房间。除了保持12英尺高的天花板和可以追溯到1846年的原始皇冠造型外，我们还通过连接设计中的功利和美学元素，保持了与以前住宅相同的原则。这表现为一个集中的 "立方体"，提供了与其相邻的每个房间所需的设施和存储。每个面都为三个定义的空间中的一个服务；客厅和餐厅，卧室和办公室，以及厨房。
The Foundation is a Continuity of Materials with an Understated Focal Point to Define Each Room. In addition to maintaining the 12-foot high ceilings and original crown molding, dating back to 1846, we kept the same principles of the former residence by connecting utilitarian and aesthetic elements of the design. This manifested as a centralized ‘cube’ that provides the amenities and storage required by each room adjacent to it. Each of the faces serves one of the three defined spaces; the living and dining area, the bedroom and office, and the kitchen.
立方体的简单白色面板和嵌入式拉手与花旗松木板地板一样，在每个房间里都无处不在，以提供一种简单的连续性，鼓励居民在其他方面的进取生活中保持宁静。为了增加安静，面向街道的客厅和餐厅有一个大的高绒毛地毯，并衬以窗帘，以减少Flatiron区的杂音。
The cube’s simple white panels and recessed pulls are as ubiquitous to each room as the Douglas Fir plank floors to provide a simple continuity that encourages tranquility in the resident’s otherwise enterprising life. To increase quietude, the street-facing living and dining room have a large high pile rug and are lined with curtains to reduce the murmur of the Flatiron District.
通过白色、棕褐色和灰色的适度调色，我们能够突出每个房间的关键元素，而没有任何过度的修饰。由于每个空间都是由松散的家具组成，我们选择使用较温暖的橡木和胡桃木家具，以对比白色水洗木地板，并避免完全陌生材料的干扰。
With a modest palette of white, tan, and grays we are able to highlight key elements in each room without any over-embellishment. As each space is comprised of a loose collection of furniture, we elected to use warmer oak and walnut furniture to contrast the white washed wood floors and avoid the distraction of an entirely foreign material.
结果是一个以健康和效率为基石的家。在整个设计过程中，客户表示需要在漫长而繁重的工作之后能够放松下来。作为小企业的所有者，企业家的生活方式需要不断地发挥聪明才智，这就变得非常累人。简单的内部装饰和有效的组织空间使他们能够避免不必要的分心，并专注于从一天的挑战中恢复身体和精神。
The Result is a Home Whose Cornerstones are Wellness and Efficiency. Throughout the process, the client expressed the need to be able to wind down after long and demanding days. As the owner of small businesses, the entrepreneur lifestyle requires constant ingenuity that becomes very taxing. The simple interiors and efficiently organized space allow them to avoid unwanted distractions and focus on recovering physical and mentally from a day’s challenges
