悉尼现代农舍 Ravensdale House丨澳大利亚新南威尔士丨Phoebe Nicol

Ravensdale位于新南威尔士州中央海岸地区的一个僻静的山谷，距离悉尼CBD大约90分钟的车程，是家庭度假的理想目的地。悉尼室内设计师Phoebe Nicol将其描述为“现代农舍”，住宅呈现出迷人的乡村谷仓或农舍的特征，带有当代的细微差别。室内与周围的建筑和景观相呼应，形成流畅而精致的设计叙事。这种叙述是通过材料和细节的选择，将住宅与环境联系起来，并满足客户打造场所感的愿望。

Settled in a secluded valley in New South Wales’ Central Coast region, about a 90-minute drive from Sydney’s CBD, Ravensdale is the ideal destination for a family retreat. Described by Sydney-based interior designer Phoebe Nicol as ‘The Modern Farmhouse’, the home takes on the character of a charming countryside barn or cottage with contemporary nuance. The interiors correspond to the encasing architecture and the surrounding landscape, resulting in a fluid and refined design narrative. This narrative is informed by a selection of materials and details that tie the home to its environment and meet the client’s desire to forge a sense of place.

当Ravensdale的悉尼业主在20多年前第一次购买这处房产时，它仅仅是一个灌木丛中的小木屋。18年过去了，他们决定需要一个更大一点的房子——一个能让他们的8个孙辈舒适居住的房子。然而，他们并没有翻修现有的小屋，而是选择建造一些更现代、更注重家庭的东西——在某个地方，全家人可以在长周末和学校假期聚在一起。

When Ravensdale’s Sydney-based owners first bought the property over twenty years ago, it was merely a cabin in the bush. Eighteen years went by, and they decided that something a little bigger was needed – something that could house their eight grandchildren comfortably. However, rather than renovating the existing cabin, they elected to build something more modern with a strong family focus – somewhere the whole family could come together for long weekends and school holidays.

住宅的材料色调向澳大利亚的丛林致敬——回收木材、朴实的亚麻和天然石头。这些材料赋予住宅其标志性的农舍魅力，在乡村和复杂之间取得平衡。此外，它们还赋予了各种令人愉悦的并置——例如，在厨房里，黑钢与深蜜色木材的搭配。

The home’s material palette pays homage to Australian bushland – recycled timber, earthy linens and natural stones. Each of these materials imparts the home with its signature farmhouse charm, striking a balance between rustic and sophisticated. In addition, they attribute a variety of pleasing juxtapositions – in the kitchen, for instance, black steel against deep honey-toned timber.

新渲染的砖农舍呈l形，底层由入口、两间卧室、浴室、开放式厨房、餐厅和客厅组成。楼上包括一间主卧室和套间、一间家庭娱乐室和一间书房。每个房间的大落地窗都可以看到中央海岸周围树木覆盖的群山的壮观景色。 Phoebe说:“建筑很简单，把美丽的风景框起来。”

The new rendered brick farmhouse takes form in an L-shape, with the ground floor consisting of an entryway, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and an open plan kitchen, dining and living room. Upstairs includes a master bedroom and ensuite, a family room and a study. Large picture windows in each room reveal spectacular views of the surrounding tree-covered hills of the Central Coast. “The architecture is simple – framing the landscape in all its beauty,” Phoebe says.

Phoebe的首要任务是设计一个能丰富一家人生活的房子。她说:“房子的占地面积和材料都很经济，但也足够舒适和灵活，以满足大家庭的需要。”其次，通过建立和保持场所感，确保室内设计补充了建筑特征。

Designing a home that would enrich the lives of the family that live there was Phoebe’s main priority. “The home’s footprint and materials are economical, but also comfortable and flexible enough to cater for the extended family,” she says. Second, ensuring that the interiors complemented the architectural features by establishing and maintaining a sense of place.
