架构师提供的文本描述。这个阁楼是为一位正在寻找平静的生活工作环境的摄影师而设计的。对5 000平方英尺的工业用地进行了全面翻修，包括图书馆/接待区、起居和就餐区、厨房、摄影棚、两间卧室、两间浴室、一间化妆室和充足的储藏空间。

Text description provided by the architects. This loft was designed for a photographer who was seeking a serene live-work environment. The 5,000 square foot industrial space was fully renovated to include a library/reception area, living and dining areas, a kitchen, a photo studio, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, and ample storage space.

 Floor Plan

现有的工业建筑采用铸铁柱结构。我们创造了一个开放的流动在整个家庭，利用长轴视图通过空间和画光通过。壁面的作用更像雕塑的屏蔽元素，同时让光和空间在它们周围流动。隐藏式口袋门在需要时提供隐私。

The existing industrial building has a cast iron column structure. We created an open flow throughout the home, taking advantage of long axial views through the space and drawing light through. The wall planes act more like sculptural screening elements while letting light and space flow around them. Concealed pocket doors provide privacy when needed.

客户要求我们设计一个家，作为她的摄影工作空间和画廊，同时也提供与朋友娱乐的空间。入口前厅附近的图书馆/接待区允许她会见画廊，介绍她的作品，并有她手头的研究材料供讨论。

The client asked us to design a home that would serve as a work space and gallery for her photography while also providing spaces for entertaining with friends. A library/reception area immediately off of the entry vestibule allows her to meet with gallerists, present her work, and have her collection of research materials on hand for discussion.

接待区是阁楼中两个不同区域的枢纽：东区直接流入她摄影工作室的“私人”领域，然后回到她的私人卧室；而南部区域则流入她的厨房、餐厅和生活区的“公共”区域。一个新的宽木板橡木地板连接所有这些地区。橡木板在墙板和橱柜上使用，使房间具有温暖的质感。

The reception area serves as a hinge for two distinct zones in the loft: the east zone flows directly into the 'private' domain of her photography studio and back to her private bedroom, while the south zone flows into the 'public' domain of her kitchen, dining, and living areas. A new wide plank oak wood floor connects all of these areas. The oak planks are used on the wall paneling and cabinetry, unifying the rooms with a warm texture.

起居室、厨房和就餐区创造了一个具有凝聚力的合奏，并能很好地适应各种娱乐活动。房间两边的窗户都用光洗澡。额外的折叠和凹槽的灯光在天花板上，锚定座位区域，并在夜间用温暖的灯光清洗它们。

The living area, kitchen, and dining area create an ensemble that is cohesive and very adaptable for a range of entertaining. Windows on two sides of the room bathe it with light. Additional folded and recessed lighting coves on the ceiling anchor the seating areas and wash them with a warm glow at night.

我们制作的原材料，缎子铝，实心橡木，白色树脂设计特点贯穿整个阁楼。它们被设计成最小的艺术时刻，就像它们是存储、就餐和工作区域的功能元素一样。例如，钢厨房岛有充足的储藏室。

We crafted raw steel, satin aluminum, solid oak, and white resin design features throughout the loft. They are designed as minimal art moments as much as they are functional elements for storage, dining and work areas. For example, the steel kitchen island has ample storage & seating areas, while maintaining a sculptural presence in the room-- it serves to frame the kitchen in an artful way.

在摄影工作室的白色树脂工作表有类似的存在-它们都具有工作功能，但在视觉上也很吸引人。摄影工作室的墙面巧妙地用白色的磁板包裹起来，让客户可以轻松地展示和重新定位她的作品。

The white resin work tables in the photography studio have a similar presence-- they are both functional for work yet also visually compelling. The wall planes in the photography studio are cleverly sheathed in white magnetic panels to allow the client to easily display and reposition her work.

浴室被设计成一个浸入式的室内光线和条纹的石头，一个舒缓的休息，从城市的强度。浴室的墙壁是用防水树脂完成的，它提供了一个既明亮又易于维护的独特表面。自定义树脂水槽，淋浴区域，和壁龛洗漱用品被融合到浴室，以创造一个无缝和完全整合的概念。(鼓掌)

The bathrooms were designed as an immersive chamber of light and striated stone, a soothing respite from the intensity of the city. The walls of the bathrooms are finished in waterproof resin which provide a singular surface that is both luminous and very easy to maintain. Custom resin sinks, shower areas, and niches for toiletries were fused into the bathrooms to create a seamless and fully integrated concept.

在詹姆斯·特雷尔艺术的启发下，我们设计了几种照明策略来增强建筑，同时赋予光线以形式。通过切割和折叠天花板平面，我们能够轻轻地将光线反射到客厅、厨房、浴室和图书馆。即使是没有窗户的房间也会觉得通风明亮。LED照明的广泛使用使我们能够降低能源成本，同时在整个家庭提供强大的建筑照明。

Inspired by the art of James Turrell, we designed several lighting strategies to enhance the architecture while giving form to the light.  By cutting and folding the ceiling planes, we were able to gently bounce light into the living areas, kitchen, bathrooms, and library. Even rooms that do not have windows feel airy and luminous. The extensive use of LED lighting allowed us to reduce energy costs while providing strong architectural lighting throughout the home.
