“这是值得的战斗，它值得的压力，它值得等待，它真的做了艺术应该做的事情。它让你记住，我们可以去追求它，然后生活就不再仅仅是正常和普通的了。“

“It’s worth the battle, it’s worth the stress, it’s worth waiting for, and it really does do what art’s supposed to do. It makes you remember that we can go for it, and then life isn’t just normal and average.”  

这就是迷幻摇滚歌手韦恩·科恩(WayneCoyne)在谈到他的房子时所要说的话，他参与设计了他的妻子、艺术家/摄影师米歇尔·马丁·科恩(Michelle Martin-Coyne)，并由菲茨西蒙斯建筑师带领。“火焰唇”的前卫看到了把一个旧仓库空间改造成他的新主卧室。

This is what psychedelic rocker Wayne Coyne had to say about his house which he took part in designing along side his wife, artist/photographer Michelle Martin-Coyne, and led by Fitzsimmons Architects.  The Flaming Lips' front man has seen to the renovation of an old warehouse space into his new master bedroom & bathroom, art/recording studio, and large family room.

翻修只是一个更大的总体计划(称为“大院”)的一部分，最终将六处相邻的房产与这一中心结构连接起来。这座大院位于俄克拉荷马州科恩长大的一个破旧的地方，这个项目是他致力于建立童年社区的证明。

The renovation is only one part of a larger master plan (known as "The Compound") that will eventually connect six adjacent properties to this central structure. The Compound is located in a run-down part of Oklahoma City where Coyne grew up, and this project is a testament to his commitment toward building up his childhood community.

科因斯夫妇从最初的设计到建筑，都热情地参与了这个项目的各个部分，建筑师们成功地设计了一种轻盈、空白的画布，促使这两个古怪的客户用他们自己的个人愿景来完成这些空间。(鼓掌)

The Coynes were enthusiastically engaged in all parts of the project from initial design through construction, and architects succeeded in desiging a sort of light, blank canvas that promoted the two eccentric clients toward finishing out the spaces with their own personal visions.

主起居区的屋顶被抬高，建造了一个牧师室，并安装了一堵玻璃门，向东天井和远处的院子敞开。主套房俯瞰南面的喷泉和西边的露台，北面有私人花园和著名的淋浴(又名“龙蛋”)。龙蛋是一个鸡蛋形状，混凝土绝缘外壳，其中包括淋浴和浸泡浴缸与LED灯和喷水。

The main living area's roof was raised to create a clerestory, and fitted with one wall of glass doors that open out to an East patio and and the yard beyond.  The master suite overlooks a fountain and the West patio to the South, and and a private garden and acclaimed shower (aka the "Dragon Egg") to the North.  The Dragon Egg is an egg-shaped, concrete-insulated shell that contains the shower and soaking tub complete with LED lights and water
