In the stunning residential commune of Lille Metropolis, in Hem, France, a stylish and professional couple named Vivien and Marion have worked hard to make their very own housing dreams come true. The two have spent several years transforming a stunning loft that started as merely a large empty space into a veritable piece of art.

在法国哼哼的里尔大都会的令人叹为观止的住宅区里，一对名叫Vivien和Marion的时尚而专业的夫妇努力工作，使他们自己的住房梦想得以实现。这两个人花了几年的时间把一座漂亮的阁楼改造成了一件名副其实的艺术品。

Designed and conceptualized entirely by the couple themselves, their priorities for the loft were quite clear from the start. One of the biggest challenges was adding a satisfactory number of windows to the solid, already formed space without compromising the walls or foundation because of the materiality and how the house sits. They wanted to be entirely sure that the rooms inside the home would get enough natural light.

设计和概念化完全由夫妇自己，他们的优先事项，阁楼从一开始就很清楚。最大的挑战之一是增加一个令人满意的窗户到固体，已经形成的空间，而不损害墙壁或地基，因为重要性和房子的位置。他们想要确保家里的房间能获得足够的自然光。

Secondly, they wanted to create a space where art is at the forefront. They decided to use colours, patterns, art they made themselves, and locally created pieces from artists they know to decorate the space. The effect is so eclectic and full of personality that visiting their home feels like an actual experience.

To tackle the first priority of the windows, the couple helped themselves out with natural light a little by opening the roof entirely, letting light flow in from parts of the top of the house. They did this by creating a high patio and two terraces, all off ground level, and then installed several skylights and sprawling rook windows in the rest of the ceiling that wasn’t opened up for lovely indoor-outdoor space. Now the sun can simply just shine down on- and right into- their home.

为了解决窗户的第一要务，这对夫妇通过完全打开屋顶，让光线从房顶的部分进入，用自然光帮助自己走出了一段时间。他们创造了一个高高的露台和两个露台，都是离地面的，然后在天花板的其余部分安装了几个天窗和杂乱无章的车窗，这些窗户都不是为可爱的室内-室外空间打开的。现在太阳就可以直接照到他们的家了。

On the ground floor, the rooms of the house are quite open concept, which was intentional. That’s not to say, however, that there’s not delineation of space at all. Stylish furniture and visual art pieces have been strategically placed to make some demarkation of rooms with different functions without sacrificing any space or open-concept flow.

Near the living and dining rooms and the kitchen sits a stunning open patio on the ground floor. This opens fully into the house thanks to receding doors and allows a flood of natural light that keeps the room cool or warm, depending on the season, and allows sunlight to reach every corner of the floor. On the outdoor portion of the patio stands a beautiful olive tree that was relocated from Portugal, where it was originally planted in one of the fields on Vivien’s grandfather’s land. Now, it grows perfectly acclimatized and thriving, like a natural family heirloom.

在客厅、餐厅和厨房附近，一楼有一个令人叹为观止的露天露台。这完全打开了房子，感谢后退的门和允许洪水的自然光，保持房间的凉爽或温暖，取决于季节，并允许阳光到达地板的每一个角落。露台的户外部分矗立着一棵美丽的橄榄树，这棵橄榄树是从葡萄牙搬来的，最初是在维维安祖父的土地上的一片田地里种植的。现在，它像一个天然的家庭传家宝一样，变得完全适应和繁荣。

Although the interior decor and art features of the loft house are quite bright, shiny, and new, the couple purposely chose to keep some sense of weathering in the home’s structure itself. The natural concrete that the actual house is built from was preserved as is, which was beneficial to their budget but also serves a particular contrasting aesthetic. It bears marks of wear and tear that denotes the previous lives of the building, something the owners appreciate.

Visual art isn’t the only kind of creative appreciation in the home. The couple also built themselves a stunning library, which is a favourite space for everyone living there. It houses architecture and design magazines, musical vinyls, and even some stylish vintage furniture, like the LC4 chaise lounge and the infamous Pipistrello lamp. The space is nothing short of inspirational.

视觉艺术并不是家中唯一的创造性欣赏。这对夫妇还为自己建造了一个令人惊叹的图书馆，这是每个住在那里的人最喜欢的地方。它的建筑和设计杂志，音乐酒庄，甚至一些时尚的老式家具，如LC4豪华酒廊和臭名昭著的皮手枪灯。这个空间不乏鼓舞人心的地方。

The theme of classically designed and mod styled furniture extends into other rooms too, but some pieces were actually created by the couple themselves as well. Much of the art featured on the walls is their own too, or that of their family members. The bright and colourful paint pot piece, for example, was created by Vivien’s father, who was a house painter by trade.

古典设计和现代风格家具的主题也延伸到其他房间，但一些作品实际上也是由夫妇自己创作的。墙上展示的大部分艺术也是他们自己的，或者是他们的家人的。例如，这幅色彩鲜艳的油漆壶是由Vivien的父亲创作的，他是一名以贸易为基础的房屋画家。

Of course, a “loft house” couldn’t be complete without stunning spaces being created on the actual loft itself! This is where the private and intimate sectors of the house reside. The loft is home to spacious bathrooms, guest and master bedrooms, and a bright, exciting child’s room. An increased touch of warmth is added to these spaces thanks to the way pine wood has been used to cover the original concrete floors that were preserved everywhere else.

The emphasis on fresh air, open space, and sunlight continues near the private loft spaces. The master bedroom, for example, features its own small terrace where the roof opens to the high patios we mentioned before. Here, views of the whole surrounding area twinkle in the sunlight as dwellers sit above their lower patio, on which an inflatable jacuzzi lives.

强调新鲜空气，开放空间，阳光继续在私人阁楼空间附近。例如，主卧室有自己的小露台，屋顶通向前面提到的高露台。在这里，整个周围地区的景色在阳光下闪烁，居民们坐在他们的下露台上方，上面住着一个充气按摩浴缸。
