STUDIOLAV | 纽约SOHO LOFT公寓翻新设计风向

当被要求设计某人的住宅时，建筑师和室内设计师必须平衡客户的需求和愿望与他们自己的设计敏感性，但有时考虑客户的个性和生活方式也很重要。最近，伦敦STUDIOLAV的创始人、设计师Loukas Angelou和Vasso Asfi对曼哈顿的这套阁楼进行了翻修，并体现了业主多元化的背景、外向的性格和充满活力的个性。

When called upon to design somebody’s home, architects and interior designers have to balance their client’s requirements and wishes with their own design sensibility but sometimes it’s also important to take into consideration the client’s personality and lifestyle.Such is the case for this extraordinary Manhattan loft which was recently renovated by designers Loukas Angelou and Vasso Asfi, founders of London-based STUDIOLAV, as a reflection of the owners’ diverse background, extrovert nature and vibrant personalities.

阁楼位于纽约SoHo区，设计团队充分利用了宽敞的开放式空间，创造了一个宽敞的生活和用餐区，业主可以根据自己的要求，招待10至15位客人共进晚餐或鸡尾酒。围绕一个中心座位区组织，周边有几个零星的休息区，包括一个小工作站和一个学习角，布局鼓励客人在亲密的群体中社交，并毫不费力地融入其中。开放式厨房采用白色调设计，提供充足的存储空间和座位，不会分散主要社交中心的注意力，而相邻的用餐区则是独立的。

Located in New York’s SoHo, the loft as expected features a large open plan space which the designers took full advantage of to create a spacious living and dining area where the owners can, as they requested, entertain 10 to 15 guests for dinner or cocktails. Organized around a central seating area, with several satellite breakout areas on the periphery, including a small working station and a study corner, the layout encourages guests to socialize in intimate clusters as well as effortlessly mingle. Rendered in white tones, the open-plan kitchen provides plenty of storage and seating without distracting from the main social hub, while the adjacent dining area discretely asserts its presence.

起居室和用餐区的室内设计以色彩，纹理和形状的异想天开的相互作用为基础，以顽固的当代艺术收藏为主，体现了业主的不拘一格的品味。裸露的砖砌结构，未涂漆的木梁和硬木地板为这个空间注入了都市的砂砾，与一系列风格优雅和曲线几何的极简主义家具形成鲜明对比。辅以一系列独特的地毯和照明装置艺术品与家具之间的界限越来越模糊，并以柔和柔和色调的微妙色调为主题，充满活力的蓝色和红色，不同的装饰元素巧妙地结合在一起，和谐地融合成一个复杂的整体。

Anchored by an impish collection of contemporary art that reflects the owners’ eclectic taste, the interior design of the living and dining area is based on a whimsical interplay of colours, textures and shapes. Exposed brickwork, unvarnished timber beams and hardwood flooring imbue the space with an urban grittiness which is whimsically contrasted by an eclectically curated collection of minimalist furniture of stylised elegance and curvaceous geometry. Complemented by a series of unique carpets and light fittings that blur the lines between artworks and furnishings, and serenaded by a subtle colour palette of soft pastel hues peppered with splashes of vibrant blues and reds, the diverse decorative elements that the designers astutely brought together harmoniously coalesce into a sophisticated ensemble.
