KNOF Design has created an elegant, colourful and layered interiors scheme for a private family home that merges a recently married couple’s tastes, in the form of classic French interiors and the geometry of the art deco period. The new scheme is for a 6-bed, 6,500 sq ft property in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, which is part of a 4,000-strong lakeside community located within the Manhattan commuter belt.

KNOF 设计公司为一家私人住宅设计了一套优雅、色彩鲜艳、层次分明的室内装饰方案，融合了一对新婚夫妇的品味，表现为经典的法国内饰和艺术装饰时期的几何学。新的计划是在新泽西州的山区湖泊区建造一套 6，500 平方英尺的 6 张床的房产，这是位于曼哈顿通勤带内的一个 4000 人的湖滨社区的一部分。

Background

The Mountain Lakes Residence also had an emotional aspect for Susan Knof, Founder and Creative Director of KNOF Design, as one half of the client couple is a long-time friend.

对于 KNOF 设计公司的创始人和创意总监 SusanKnof 来说，这座高山湖的住宅也有一个情感的方面，因为这对客户中有一半是长期的朋友。

"It was inspiring and special to know how significant the new home was for my friend, representing, as it does, the creation of a solid base for her new life chapter", Susan Knof commented.

苏珊·克诺夫 (Susan Knof) 评论说：“知道这个新家对我的朋友有多重要，让我感到鼓舞和特别，因为它代表着，为她的新生活篇章奠定了坚实的基础。”

The scheme wasn’t just an interior for the couple, however, but also for their collective six children from their first marriages, as well their newborn baby son.

然而，这一计划不仅是这对夫妇的内饰，而且也是他们第一次结婚后的六个孩子，以及他们刚出生的孩子的内饰。

"Several of the older children are full-grown and were only likely to be visiting at weekends or during holidays", Susan added. "Nevertheless, key spaces, such as the dining and family rooms, had to be furnished for the possibility of all nine family members being present at the same time".

苏珊补充说：“几个年龄较大的孩子已经长大成人了，他们只可能在周末或假期去看孩子。”“然而，关键的空间，如餐厅和家庭房间，必须提供给所有九名家庭成员同时在场的可能性”。

The Mountain Lakes Residence was a logistical challenge additionally for the design company Founder, who splits her work life between London and Miami. With additional current projects in London, Sofia and West Africa, this is something of an ongoing challenge for Susan Knof, solved by being very much on the ball in terms of time zones and also having a great international array of key suppliers and teams. Good communication is also key, of course, as well as, in this instance, the pre-existing designer-client relationship and knowing her friend’s tastes and style extremely well.

山湖住宅是设计公司创始人的后勤工作挑战，他们把她的工作生活分开了伦敦和迈阿密。在伦敦、当然，良好的沟通也是关键，在这种情况下，在这个例子中，现有的设计师客户关系，并且非常了解她朋友的品味和风格。
