曼哈顿顶层公寓丨美国曼哈顿丨Sebastian Zuchowicki 工作室

如果让阿根廷裔美国设计师Sebastian Zuchowicki描述他的风格，他会用一个方程式来代替。这位设计师在两年前创立自己的同名公司之前，曾在Mellone工作室和Sofield工作室接受过培训，他在自己的最新项目，即Shigeru Ban设计的现代顶层公寓中完美地体现了这一公式。

Ask Argentinian American designer Sebastian Zuchowicki to describe his style, and he will instead describe an equation. The designer, who trained under Studio Mellone and Studio Sofield before launching his eponymous firm two years ago, exemplifies this formula beautifully in his latest project, a Shigeru Ban–designed modern penthouse.

这座近4000平方英尺的房子高高矗立在另一座建筑的顶部，就好像在现有建筑建成一个半世纪后，它从屋顶的表面下冒了出来。对于Zuchowicki和他的团队来说，挑战是将一个白色的现代空间变成一个家，并通过规模和纹理来温暖它，同时尊重这位著名日本建筑师所提出的愿景。

The nearly 4,000-square-foot home delightfully perches atop another structure as if it emerged from below the roof’s surface a century and a half after the existing building was constructed. For Zuchowicki and his team, the challenge was to turn a white, modern space into a home and warm it up through scale and texture, while honoring the vision laid out by the famous Japanese architect.

客户们的主要住所在其他地方，他们希望自己在曼哈顿的家能体现他们日裔美国人的传统，所以Zuchowicki带他们去了切尔西的Dobrinka Salzman画廊，从他们的日裔美国设计师名册中收集灵感。

The clients, who keep a primary residence elsewhere, wanted their Manhattan home to honor their Japanese American heritage, so Zuchowicki took them to Chelsea’s Dobrinka Salzman gallery to gather inspiration from their roster of Japanese American designers.

除了灯笼，家中的许多物品都是Zuchowicki工作室的定制设计，包括上面的美国胡桃餐桌，客厅的组合式沙发和卧室的智能吸烟桌。“我们的规则是五度间隔。我们想把它变成我们自己的，找到复古单品的风味并将其带出来，并赋予它一些特色。”

In addition to the lantern, many of the pieces in the home are custom designs by Zuchowicki’s studio, including the American walnut dining table above, sectional sofa in the living room, and the smart smoking table in the bedroom.“Our rule is five degrees of separation. We want to make it our own, to find the flavor that the vintage piece offers and bring it out, and to give it a twist.”

就像每个皇冠都需要一颗宝石一样，每个房间都需要一个焦点。但是，Zuchowicki和他的团队没有设置酒吧或电视来固定这个空间，而是设计了一个不工作的壁炉，与其说是装饰性的，不如说是一种建筑风格，即采用Cle的石膏和银质石灰华来赋予质感，并与沿着户外生活区的大理石的几何线条相呼应。在壁炉的两侧，两扇巧妙的门小心翼翼地打开，显露出一个更加悠闲的生活空间。

And just as every crown needs a jewel, every room needs a focal point. But in lieu of a bar or a TV to anchor the space, Zuchowicki and his team dreamt up a (nonworking) fireplace—an architectural statement more than a decorative one—featuring plaster and silver tiled travertine from Cle to give texture and play off the geometric lines in the marble that runs along the outdoor living area. On either side of the fireplace, two clever pocket doors discreetly open to reveal a more laid-back living space.
