We are seeing arches everywhere. In newly built spaces, in restored hybrids and, of course, in a historical context.

到处都是拱门。在新建的空间里，在恢复的混血儿里，当然，在历史的背景下。

Even more surprising, at least to us, is that we like them.

更令人惊讶的是，至少对我们来说，我们喜欢它们。

Perhaps our former arch-fobia was the result of old images of American suburbia with cookie-cutter bungalows with their hideous arched indoor doorways – but we are definitely starting to forget them.

也许我们以前的拱形建筑是美国郊区的旧景象的结果，那里有曲奇式的平房，有着可怕的拱形室内门廊-但我们肯定已经开始忘记它们了。

The new arch is a completely different feature; elegant, well-thought out, perfectly space-aware.

新的拱门是一个完全不同的特点；优雅的、深思熟虑的、完美的空间感知。

The Kennedy apartment in Paris is a perfect example of how to do arches well, and how to give them the visual space they need to really make an impact.

在巴黎的肯尼迪公寓是一个完美的例子，如何做好拱门，以及如何给他们的视觉空间，他们需要真正产生影响。

Paris and London-based Guillaume Alan created the architecture, design and furniture design for the 180 square metre (1,937 sq.ft) residence of a busy professional French couple that travels the world.

位于巴黎和伦敦的纪尧姆·艾伦为一对忙碌的法国职业夫妇设计了180平方米(1，937平方英尺)住宅的建筑、设计和家具设计，这对夫妇周游世界。

The couple has been a long-time furniture client of Guillaume Alan and this project gave them an opportunity to work together more comprehensively.

这对夫妇一直是纪尧姆艾伦的长期家具客户，这个项目让他们有机会更全面地合作。

The apartment would be their main residence and it would need to exude elegance and serenity. However, it would also need to be inviting for the guests of the wine-loving owners who love to organize parties.

这套公寓将是他们的主要住所，它需要散发出优雅和宁静。然而，它也需要邀请喜欢喝酒的主人的客人，他们喜欢组织聚会。

As a result opulence and a calm balance are apparent in each room of the Trocadero-area top-floor residence with 360-degree views of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower.

结果是，在Trocadero-Area顶层住宅的每一间房间都会看到有360度的塞纳河和埃菲尔铁塔的美景。

The building is one of the many Haussmannian structures from the early 19th century that have given central Paris its cohesive elegance.

这座建筑是19世纪早期的众多豪斯曼尼亚建筑之一，这些建筑赋予了巴黎市中心以其优雅的凝聚力。

Guillaume Alan re-configured the entire floorplan to maximise the use of natural light and light does, indeed, play an extremely important role in creating the rhythm and the atmosphere of the entire home.

纪尧姆艾伦重新配置整个地板计划，以最大限度地利用自然光和光，确实，发挥了极其重要的作用，创造节奏和氛围的整个家庭。

This is something that is noticeable in most Guillaume Alan projects. One of our favourite views of the apartment is of the entrance hall, inspired by the Orangery in Versailles.

这在大多数纪尧姆艾伦项目中是显而易见的。我们最喜欢的公寓景观之一是入口大厅，灵感来自凡尔赛的“橙色”(Orangery)。

A series of high arches with recessed mirrors creates a feeling of unlimited space while elegantly dividing the space as well. The existing well-worn mosaic floor takes an important role here as well with its beautiful muted tones of bronze, gold and grey.

一系列高拱与凹镜创造了无限空间的感觉，同时优雅地划分空间。现有的破旧马赛克地板在这里扮演了一个重要的角色，以及它美丽的淡淡色调的青铜，黄金和灰色。

In the living room, startling elements create a cohesive whole: more magnificent high vaults, a window inspired by an old door found in Oxford, and a three-metre high fireplace cared into a massive piece of Carrara marble.

在客厅里，令人吃惊的元素创造了一个和谐的整体：更宏伟的高拱顶，在牛津发现的一扇旧门启发的窗户，以及一个三米高的壁炉，放在一块巨大的卡拉拉大理石上。

Each of the bedrooms, bathrooms and the kitchen carry a similar balanced sense of calm, but we cannot get our eyes off those elegant arches.

每一间卧室、浴室和厨房都有一种类似的平衡的平静感，但我们无法把目光从那些优雅的拱门上移开。

We are convinced that they – together with the artful manipulation of light – are the grandest feature of this decidedly cool residence. Tuija Seipell.

我们确信，它们与巧妙地操纵光线一起，是这个绝对凉爽的住宅最宏伟的特征。托伊亚·塞佩尔。
