现在很少有人住在商店里了。我们的生活与我们的生活环境之间曾经常见的整合已经在很大程度上消失了,因为我们已经将我们的生存隔离在工作和家庭的不同领域,这种划分反映在我们如何布局城市。通过单一用途的分区,我们将不同的功能在物理上区分开来,而且往往相当遥远,导致人们在生活和工作的需求之间有很长的通勤时间和很少的游戏时间。

Few people live over the store any more. That once‐commonintegration of our lives with our live lihoods has largely disappeared as we have segregatedour existence into separaterealms of job and family, a division reflected in how we lay outourcities. Through single‐use zoning, we have kept different functions physically distinct and often quite distant frome ach other, resulting in people having long commutes and little time for play between the demands of living and working.

大卫-萨尔梅拉的家和办公室反映了他对这一趋势的抵制,而这一趋势正开始在北美发展。在数字技术的推动下,我们几乎可以在任何地方工作,现在越来越多的人在家里办公,或者住在办公室上面。大卫-萨尔梅拉多在这两方面都做了一些工作,在他自己的住宅中展示了这种公共和私人生活的重新整合如何能够导致新的和更多的生活和工作形式的发挥。

David Salmela’s home and office reflects there sistance to this trend that is beginningtogrowacross North America. Buoyedby digital technology that letsus work from almost any location, increasing numbers of people now workout of their homesor live above their offices. David Salmeladoes a little of both, showing in his own residence how this reincorporation of our public and private ives can lead to new and more play fulforms of living and working.

大多数房子将公共和私人活动分开,居住和用餐的房间与睡觉和洗澡的房间分开。工作回到家里,通常是以家庭办公室的形式,并不容易适应这种古老的模式。萨尔梅拉的房子既整合又分离了公共和私人的追求,提供了一个在21世纪生活在商店之上的模式的含义。

Most houses separate public and private activities, with living and diningareaskepta part from sleeping and bathing rooms. The return of work to the home, often in the form of the home office, does not easilyfitthatold formula. Salmela’shousebothintegrates and separates public and private pursuits, offering a model of what it means to live above the store in the twenty‐first century.

从房子侧面的车库中点,你有两个选择。你可以沿着石护坡走到大院和通往萨米拉办公室的玻璃门,或者你可以沿着混凝土台阶,用水平的木栏杆,向上走,越过岩石台,在那里你会看到一个木制的平台,一个开放的白色油漆的壁炉,和另一组台阶,通向房子的前门。这些双重入口的性质表明了这所房子在生活和工作方面的不同。萨尔梅勒给了他的家和办公室各自的入口,与到达点等距离,并尽可能地相互远离。

From the mid point of the garage in the side of the house, you have two choices. You can follow the stone retainingwalldowntheslopetothegravelyard and the glass door that leads toSalmela’s office or you can take the concrete steps, with their horizontal timberrails, up and overthe rock ledge, where you come to a wood deck, an open‐facewhite‐painted fire place, and another set of stepsthat lead to the front door of the house. Theverynature of these dual entrie sindicates the difference in how this house accommodates both living and working: Salmelagiveshis home and office their ownentrances, equidistant from the point of arrival and as faraway as possible from each other.

房子采用耐用的黑色Skatelit面板,有水平的铝制饰带,不仅可以保护脆弱的再生纸面板不受潮,而且还可以显示出其中的多层功能:最低层是办公室,中间层是车库和办公室,上面是主要的生活空间,顶部是宾馆区域。闪光灯也是为了照亮深色包层的视觉重感,提供深色的阴影线,突出其黑色。同样,大窗户、白色的柱子以及环绕房子的天然木质天花板和露台都与黑色的皮肤形成了鲜明的对比。

Likewise, largewindows, whitecolumns, and the natural woodrailings and decks tha twrap around the house contrastnicely with the black skin.

这种对比在室内变得更加明显。无论你从低层进入光线充足的办公室,还是从高层进入主要的生活区,你都会从一个大体上是黑色和银色的外表进入到一个白色墙壁、宽大的铝窗和温暖的木质装饰的内部。深灰色的瓷砖地板和深蓝紫色的天花板以及厨房上方的中央天窗进一步强调了室内的明亮和宽阔。

Whether you enter at the lowe rlevel into the light‐ filled office or at the upper level into the main living areas, you go from a largelyblack‐and‐silver exterior to an interior of white walls, expansive aluminum windows, and warm wood trim.
