On the outskirts of the city of Pretoria in South Africa, designer and architect Nadine Engelbrecht has built a sprawling, borderline luxury dwelling called Industrial Style Architect’s House. Despite its clear urban and industrial influences, the house actually has an unexpected inspiration behind it: an old barn!

在南非比勒陀利亚市郊，设计师兼建筑师纳丁·恩格尔布里切特(NadineEngelbrecht)建造了一座规模庞大、边缘豪华的住宅，名为“工业风格建筑师之家”(IndustrialSt尽管有着明显的城市和工业影响，但这座房子背后却有一个意想不到的灵感：一个古老的谷仓！

The lead architect on site actually designed this lovely home for her parents using the kind of small barn that would have stood on their childhood farms as the basis for the new house’s shape and structure. Despite that rustic motivation, the overall aesthetic choice and materiality is far more industrial influenced than farmhouse themed, making for an extremely interesting and visually beautiful contrast.

现场的铅建筑师实际上为她的父母设计了这个可爱的家，她的父母们可以在他们的童年农场里站起来，作为新的房子的形状和结构的基础。尽管这种质朴的动机，但总体上的审美选择和重要性远比农舍主题的影响要大得多，从而形成了一个非常有趣和视觉上美丽的对比。

The central portion of the house, made primarily of black steel and glass that lets in plenty of natural life, is the clearest portion bearing barn-like inspiration. Wings for additional living space are built off of each side, one part of which includes a loft with a stunning view and a unique layout.

房子的中央部分，主要由黑色钢和玻璃制成，在大量的自然生命中，是最清晰的部分，包括谷仓一样的灵感。每个侧面都有额外的生活空间的翅膀，其中一部分包括一个阁楼，有一个迷人的景色和一个独特的布局。

In the long central space, you’ll find a reception room with a high cathedral style ceiling that peaks in the centre above. This entire space is bright and naturally lit, heavy in windows and glass doors, and quite breathtaking in its clearly industrial simplicity. At the far end, where doors open onto a patio and lawn, is the large family dining table, where things stay the brightest.

在漫长的中央空间里，你会发现一个接待室，里面有一个大教堂风格的天花板，上面的中心有山峰。整个空间是明亮自然的，在窗户和玻璃门上都是沉重的，而且在其明显的工业简单性方面是非常令人叹为观止的。在远端的地方，门开到露台和草坪上的地方，是大型家庭餐桌，那里的东西是最亮的。

The parts of the house that aren’t made from glass and black metals are kept a little more natural and slightly more rustic feeling, without feeling very “farmhouse chic” like you might expect a home inspired by a barn to be. Instead, design teams used concrete, exposed brick, and exposed carpentry made with reclaimed wood.

房子的部分不是用玻璃和黑色金属做的，它们保持了更自然的感觉，也保持了一点乡村的感觉，而不像你所期望的一个由谷仓启发的家一样，感觉很“农家时尚”。相反，设计团队使用混凝土，裸露的砖块，以及由再生木材制成的裸露木匠。

Moving from the well lit reception hall and dining room into the kitchen, you’ll find a continuation of these material contrasts, as well the way windows are a huge priority. Here, a stunning wooden island acts as a central hub of the kitchen space, while a large, wooden trap door leads down into a temperature controlled wine cellar. This door closes flat into the floor but still stands out as a nearly decorative piece because it’s the only other part of the house besides the shape that explicitly looks like it might have been part of a barn once upon a time.

从灯火通明的接待厅和餐厅搬到厨房，你会发现这些材料对比的延续，以及窗户的方式是一个巨大的优先事项。在这里，一个令人叹为观止的木岛作为厨房空间的中心枢纽，而一个巨大的木制陷阱门通向一个温度控制的酒窖。这扇门平直地关上在地板上，但仍然是一件几乎是装饰性的东西，因为它是房子里唯一的其他部分，除了它的形状外，很明显它很久以前可能是谷仓的一部分。

On the second floor of the kitchen volume to the side of the sunny hall you’ll find guest bedrooms and the master suite. The colour palettes here are simple, pleasant, and minimalist, comprised mostly of neutral shades and cream tones. Although each bedroom has a clear priority in windows and bright, natural light, the master suite is really the room that takes this concept further on the top floors.

从厨房的二楼到阳光明媚的大厅，你会发现客人的卧室和主套房。这里的调色板简单，宜人，极简，主要由中性色调和奶油色调组成。虽然每个卧室的窗户和明亮的自然光都有一个明确的优先级，但主套房确实是在顶层进一步提升这一概念的房间。

At the end of the master bed, where you’d first look when you wake up in the morning, stand a stunning set of floor to ceiling windows. These can be covered by a horizontally sliding shade to reduce the light they let in or left open so you can gaze upon the nearly-rural view of grasses and trees beyond the property. Besides this breathtaking view, the room’s decor is quite pleasantly simple in a way that is classy and sophisticated.

在主床的尽头，当你早上醒来的时候，你会第一次看到它，站在一组令人惊叹的地板到天花板的窗户上。这些可以被一个水平滑动的阴影所覆盖，以减少他们进入或离开打开的光线，这样你就可以看到草本植物和树木的近郊景色。除了这令人叹为观止的景色外，房间的装饰也相当简朴，既优雅又精致。

On the top floor of the volume built on the other side of the reception hall, sitting high above a comfortable but stylish living room and social seating area, is an activities space. This bright, wide open room features art, gallery lighting, and bean bag chairs for reading. The family often uses it for entertainment or hobbies and creative endeavours.

在接待大厅的另一边建造的音量的顶层，高耸在舒适而时尚的起居室和社交休息区之上，是一个活动空间。这间明亮、开阔的房间有艺术、画廊照明和豆袋椅供阅读。家庭经常将它用于娱乐、爱好和创造性活动。
