洛杉矶 Pacific Palisades 住宅丨美国洛杉矶丨Mandy Cheng

这座位于洛杉矶Pacific Palisades的住宅展示了Cheng所说的 "现代Santa Barbara地中海风格 "的外部建筑。内部空间，许多都是双倍高度，从大窗户照射进来的阳光让人感到温暖。但是，这种光芒暴露了一系列明显的30年前的错误做法：例如，整个底层的高度抛光的大理石地板，或明显的不合时宜的柱子，柱子的末端是小矮墙，标志着一间下沉式客厅的入口。

The home—located in LA’s Pacific Palisades—showed off what Cheng describes as “modernish Santa Barbara Mediterranean style” exterior architecture. The interior spaces, many of them double height, glowed warmly with sunlight from large windows. But that glow revealed an array of glaring 30-year-old missteps: the highly polished marble floors throughout the ground level, say, or the conspicuously anachronistic columns ending in pony walls that marked the entrance to a sunken living room.

相反，Cheng对室内建筑进行了外科手术式的改变，将下沉式客厅的地板抬高，并取消了那些柱子和小马墙。然后，她重新设计了这个有五间卧室、近4000平方英尺的房子的每一个表面，并选择了新旧融合的家具、配件和织物。

Instead, Cheng made surgical changes to the interior architecture by bringing up the floor of that sunken living room and getting rid of those columns and pony walls. She then reimagined practically every surface of the five-bedroom, nearly 4,000-square-foot house and selected furniture, fittings, and fabrics that blended old and new.

在这里，Cheng注意到客户，特别是妻子，倾向于中性色彩和纹理饰面。无论是现代的当代空间还是旧的空间，纹理都是吸引她的地方，层次越多，她就越喜欢。因此，在家里的客厅里，一块羊毛和棉质的手工打结的地毯，绒毛相对较高，现在与燕麦色的布纹扶手椅和客户自己的白兰地色的皮革沙发搭配在一起。三张复古的灰褐色蜡染苗族纺织品，像艺术品一样被装裱起来，悬挂在新的精简的卡拉卡塔大理石壁炉上。

Here, Cheng noticed the clients, particularly the wife, gravitating towards neutral colors and textural finishes. “Whether in modern contemporary spaces or older ones, texture was what appealed to her—the more layers, the more she liked it.” And so, in the home’s living room, a wool-and-cotton, hand-knotted rug with a relatively high pile now pairs with oatmeal-hued, bouclé-covered armchairs and the clients’ own cognac-colored leather sofa. A trio of vintage taupe batik Hmong textiles, framed like artwork, hang over the newly streamlined Calacatta-marble fireplace.

在客户的灵感图片中，偶尔的流行色彩也是一个主题，Cheng用一些放大的色调来回应。在主卫生间，Portola的朦胧绿色Nitty Gritty冲刷着罗马粘土表面，而在女儿的房间，Portola的粉红色Casa California几乎覆盖了所有的表面。

Occasional pops of color also emerged as a theme in the clients’ inspiration images, which Cheng obliged with some amped-up hues. In the primary bathroom, Portola’s hazy green Nitty Gritty washes over a Roman clay finish, and in the daughter’s room, Portola’s pink Casa California covers nearly every surface.

厨房的设计尤其注重实用性，它需要容纳妻子在做糕点师时收集的烹饪用具。在这里，Cheng将可爱的形式和宜居的功能在传统的Shaker面板和更现代的平头橱柜和抽屉中完美地结合起来。双层空间顶部的玻璃橱柜使墙壁不至于让人感觉它们在向你逼近，闪闪发光的Zellige瓷砖背板墙也是如此。

A practical mindset especially informed the design of the kitchen, which needed to hold the collection of culinary gear the wife had amassed during her time as a pastry chef. Here, Cheng seamlessly combined lovely form and livable function in traditional Shaker-paneled and more contemporary flat-front cabinets and drawers. Glass-fronted cabinets towards the top of the double-height space keep the walls from feeling like they’re closing in on you, as do the sparkling backsplash walls of zellige tiles.
