这个20世纪20年代的加州平房所面临的挑战是创造一个轻盈和宁静，但坚固和耐磨的家庭住宅。苍白、原始材料的有限调色板确保观众在通过白宫时有最少的分心。通过使用数量有限的浅色、自然材料的调色板，观众在空间中移动时受到的干扰最小。这些特点成为宏伟的双高空，内部中庭花园，以及有质感的家具和艺术品，这些都是精心挑选的，以补充房子的苍白，粉色的色调。

The challenge with this 1920’s Californian Bungalow was to create a l ight and serene, yet robust and hardwearing family home. A limited palette of pale, raw materials ensures the viewer has minimal distract ions when moving through The White House. By using a limited palette of a minimal number of light , natural materials the viewer has minimal distractions when moving through the space. The features become the grand double height voids, internal atrium garden, and the textured furniture and art that were careful l y selected to complement the pale, pastel tones of the house.

双层高度的空隙和从底层到一楼的透明度，通过一个雕塑般的白色丝带环形楼梯，邀请观众向上看，并通过小空间，现在有一个宏伟的高度、光线和空间的感觉。通过保持整个房子的白色主题，人们被鼓励通过外面的空间和外面的绿色植物向外看。在房子的中心设计了一个内部花园中庭，以创造一个开放的绿色视野，可以从整个房子的所有空间看到。中庭也是通过前门进入的第一道风景线，并将新旧两部分分开。它吸引观众穿过现有的狭窄走廊，进入房子后面的新的双层高空。

Double height voids and transparency from ground to first floor, by way of a sculptural white ribbon circular stair , invite the viewer to look up and through the small spaces that now have a grand feeling of height, l ight, and space. By maintaining the white theme throughout the house one is encouraged to look out through the spaces beyond and into the greenery outside. An internal garden atrium was designed in the centre of the house to create an open green outlook, viewable from al l spaces throughout the house. The atrium is also the first vista upon entering through the front door and separates the old from the new. I t draws the viewer through the existing narrow corridor into the new double height void at the rear of the house.

这个项目通过更加精简的室内设计方法为当代室内设计实践做出了贡献。这是通过使用一个最小的材料调色板，通过最小的材料变化来突出空间的雕塑形式，更注重形式、质地和光线。我们的世界在很大程度上倾向于 “少即是多 “的概念，这在整理大师Marie Kondo的Net f l ix特别节目中可以看到。经过多年来我们社会的过度生活和过度设计，我们看到我们的实践正朝着更加基于需求的设计方法发展。

This project contributes to contemporary interior design practice through a more pared back, minimal approach to interior design. This is through the use of a minima l palette of materials that highlight the sculptural forms of spaces through minimal material change, with more focus on form, texture and light. Our world is leaning heavily towards the concept of “less is more” as seen in the Net f l ix special by decluttering guru Marie Kondo. After many years of our society living excessively and over-designing, we see our practice heading towards a more needs-based approach to design.

“白房子 “的概念贯穿于所有的室内空间，并贯穿于所有室内材料的选择，以及家具和艺术品的选择。其结果是一个柔和的、易于居住的空间。白宫是一个柔和的、温和的空间，在我们繁忙的世界中提供了一个隐蔽和退缩的空间。室内设计的色调确保光线和空间是这个家庭的首要任务。他们还允许家庭通过透明的空间看向外面的景观区，与外面的绿色植物相连接。这提供了一个既有思想性又有健康性的空间。

The concept of the ‘white house’ was embraced throughout all of the interior spaces and informed the selection of al l interior materials, as well as the selection of furniture and art. The result is a soft, easy space in which to live. The White House is a soft , gent le space that provides seclusion and a space to retreat in our busy world. The pa le tones of the interior design ensure that l ight and space are the priori ty for this family. They also allow the family to look through the transparent spaces out into the landscaped areas beyond, connecting with the outside greenery. This provides a space that is both mindful , and healthy.
