In the centre of a Taiwanese street featuring primarily neat, white houses, one homeowner has hired innovative designers to create a home for her that reflects her personality and love for bright colours instead! La Casa de Cathy was created by A’Lentil Design in Neihu, Taipei with the intention of turning a simple home into a happy haven.

在一条以整洁的白色房屋为主的台湾街道的中心，一位房主聘请了一位创新的设计师为她创造了一个反映她个性和对明亮色彩的热爱的家！拉卡·德·凯茜是由台北内湖的A‘Lentil设计公司创造的，目的是把一个简单的家变成一个快乐的港湾。

Designers could tell the owner and her husband were exciting, eclectic people the moment they met. That’s why they took inspiration from their clients themselves in order to create as fantastic a space as possible, drawing on their love for bold patterns, bright colours, and fun shapes. Designers chose to work freely with colours and materials, making whatever matches they pleased rather than following any strict theme or scheme.

设计师可以告诉主人和她的丈夫是令人兴奋的，折中的人在他们相遇的那一刻。这就是为什么他们从自己的客户那里获得灵感，以创造尽可能美妙的空间，吸引他们对大胆的图案、明亮的颜色和有趣的形状的热爱。设计师选择自由地使用颜色和材料，做任何他们喜欢的匹配，而不是遵循任何严格的主题或方案。

The effect of this wild colour “matching” technique (that purposely doesn’t really match at all) was to create a space that feels vibrant, energetic, and full of imagination. Even amidst what other people might view as colour “chaos”, however, the home somehow feels harmonious in itself. It’s special because it truly reflects and thoroughly belongs to the people living there.

这种野性色彩的“匹配”技术(故意不匹配)的效果是创造一个充满活力、精力充沛和充满想象力的空间。然而，即使在其他人眼中的颜色“混乱”中，家庭也有一种和谐的感觉。它之所以特别，是因为它真实地反映并彻底属于生活在那里的人们。

The original home contained two bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms, but designers had other layouts in mind. After verifying that the owners had no plans to grow their family, they opted to open up some of the spaces and re-allocate the floor plans and rooms to better suit the new owners’ lifestyle. Knocking out a wall and replacing it with a kitchen island, for example, created a cohesive eating, sitting, and storage area that’s neat and simple.

原来的房子有两间卧室、两间起居室和两间浴室，但设计师们却想到了其他的布局。在核实业主没有计划扩大家庭后，他们选择开辟一些空间，重新分配平面图和房间，以更好地适应新业主的生活方式。例如，敲掉一堵墙，用一个厨房岛代替它，创造了一个整洁而简单的有凝聚力的饮食、坐姿和储藏区域。

In contrast, designers and their clients chose to keep two separate bedrooms, just in case guests come to visit. In the master bedroom, red and green shades clash beautifully in a way that’s unexpected but entirely pleasant. Light is also a huge emphasis in the bedrooms, making the spaces appear larger and even brighter than they already are.

相比之下，设计师和他们的客户选择保留两个独立的卧室，就在客人来访的情况下。在主卧室里，红色和绿色的色调以“意外但完全令人愉快”的方式完美地碰撞。灯光也是卧室的一大亮点，使空间显得更大，甚至比它们已经亮了。

A similar tactic was taken with the bathrooms; designers kept them distinct but repositions the features inside, re-angling the toilets, sinks, and so on in order to take better advantage of space. As it did in the bedrooms and kitchen-dining area, this repositioning also helps open up the room and make it feel larger and more pleasant to use.

浴室也采取了类似的策略；设计师们保留了卫生间的特色，但重新定位了卫生间、水槽等，以便更好地利用空间。就像在卧室和厨房-就餐区域一样，这种重新定位也有助于打开房间，使它感觉更大，更舒适的使用。

In order to balance all the colour and pattern happening in the house, designers actually did choose one or two elements that serve to ground the spaces and create some pleasant balance. White and light coloured woods are used because they complement every colour in the diverse scheme and some spots of black help achieve a sort of visual anchor here and there.

为了平衡所有发生在房子里的颜色和图案，设计师们确实选择了一两种元素来支撑空间，创造一些令人愉悦的平衡。使用白色和浅色的木材是因为它们补充了各种方案中的每一种颜色，一些黑色的斑点帮助实现了一种视觉锚定。

Overall, the effect of the layout changes, the playful shapes and materials, and the changes in hue throughout the house blends together to make the owners feel at home in a space that was not just custom designed for them, but specifically created to match their very essence. Guests enjoy it too because the aesthetic is outside the norm, making it a cheerful experience for all!

总的来说，布局的影响，有趣的形状和材料，以及整个房子色调的变化，使业主在一个不只是为他们设计的空间中感到宾至如归，而是专门为他们的本质而设计的。客人也喜欢它，因为它的美学是不规范的，使它成为一个愉快的经验，为所有人！
