In a stunningly green suburb of Cape Town, South Africa, renowned designers at ARRCC recently completed a stunningly modern home called Hillside View, adding an impressively contemporary but appealing element to the community’s street scape.

在南非开普敦一个令人震惊的绿色郊区，ARRCC的著名设计师最近完成了一座名为Hillside View的现代化住宅，为社区的街道景观增添了令人印象深刻的现代元素。

The house sits on a lovely, leafy plot, intended explicitly to grab attention and make a statement in the way it contrasts with its surroundings. This is primarily achieved through a combination of awe inspiring and modern looking glass-fronted facades and interiors, visible to the street through said glass, that appear vibrant and full of colour and personality.

这所房子坐落在一个可爱的，绿叶的地块上，显然是为了吸引人们的注意力，并以与周围环境形成对比的方式发表声明。这主要是通过结合令人敬畏的鼓舞人心和现代的外观玻璃正面和内部，通过所说的玻璃可见街道，这似乎充满活力和充满色彩和个性。

From the start, the house was intended to harness the owner’s well known affinity for colour, which designers wanted to blend with interesting materiality for maximum creative atmosphere. Because the owner already possessed a stunningly varied personal art collection, designers had something to base their interiors off of and centre them around, creating a sense of cohesion even where purposeful contrast exists.

从一开始，房子的目的是利用主人众所周知的对颜色的亲和力，设计师们希望与有趣的物质性融为一体，以达到最大的创作氛围。因为主人已经拥有了令人震惊的多样化的个人艺术收藏品，设计师们有一些东西可以把他们的内饰和中心围绕在一起，即使在有目的对比存在的情况下，也会产生一种凝聚力的感觉。

In order to really drive the incorporation of that art home, designers chose to include alternative, geometric, and uniquely interesting furnishings for the spaces, using colour to create a dialogue between those and the art, which is hung all throughout the house. This is all perfectly exemplified in the marble entry way, where art pieces are complemented by a bright geometric cabinet, an interestingly shaped side table, and a two-toned sofa.

为了真正推动艺术之家的融合，设计师们选择了各种不同的、几何的、独特的有趣的空间陈设，用颜色来创造那些和艺术之间的对话，而艺术则挂在整个房子里。这一切都完美地体现在大理石入口的方式，在那里的艺术作品是由一个明亮的几何柜，一个有趣的形状侧桌，和一个双色调沙发。

Once the designers had made the decision to centre the atmosphere of the house around colour, art, and shapes, they settled on the idea of extending those themes right into the home’s architecture as well. That’s why you can see such unique and pleasing shape in features like the staircase leading down to the basement wine cellar or the bright slatted wood ceiling above the family room.

一旦设计师做出了将房子的气氛围绕着颜色、艺术和形状的决定，他们就解决了把这些主题扩展到家庭建筑的想法。这就是为什么你可以看到这样独特而令人愉悦的形状，比如楼梯通向地下室的酒窖或家庭间的明亮的木质天花板。

Because the front facade of the house is entirely made of glass, the uniquely shaped features of the home’s interior appears to be framed within those windowed walls as thought the living spaces themselves are art. This is pleasant as visitors walk up the drive, but doesn’t sacrifice privacy thanks to the way the house is set back from the street itself.

因为房子的正面完全是用玻璃做的，所以房子内部独特的形状似乎是在那些有窗户的墙壁里被框起来的，因为生活空间本身就是艺术。这是令人愉快的，因为游客走上车道，但不牺牲隐私，因为房子是从街道本身的方式。

Moving from room to room, you’ll gather a sense that each space has a little bit of a cohesive theme with itself, even if it’s not explicit and despite the fact that each still fits well within the overall colourful fabric of the home at large. The informal lounge is the perfect example of what we man. Here, everything bears shades of marine blue, teal, and ceramic green that establishes an overall aquamarine heavy feel. Pattern plays a role here too, as the room is heavy in bold Missoni fabrics in contrasting sorbet shades. Each room bears a friendly personality and helps create a sense that moving through the house is a journey.

从房间到房间，你会感觉到每个空间都有一点与自己有凝聚力的主题，即使它不是明确的，而且尽管每个空间都很好地适合家庭的整体色彩结构。非正式休息室是我们这个人最完美的例子。在这里，所有的东西都带有蓝色、青色和陶瓷绿色的阴影，这就建立了一个总体的Aquamarine厚重的感觉。模式在这里也起着一定的作用，因为房间很大程度上是用粗体米索尼(BoldMissoni)面料对比Sorbet色调的。每个房间都有一个友好的个性，有助于创造一种通过房子移动的感觉。

To really help the house create a story, some rooms, like the dining room, have been intentionally pared back in their decorum and furnishings. This is to allow the most eye catching paintings in the owner’s collection to really stand out in a space without creating a clash that detracts from their beauty. In this particular room, a French oak table and black leather dining chairs, as well as wood panelled walls, set the scene for bright art, creating a familiar but still unique feeling.

为了真正帮助房子创造一个故事，一些房间，比如餐厅，已经被故意在他们的装饰和家具。这是为了让业主收藏的最醒目的绘画在一个空间中真正突出，而不会产生一个会影响他们的美丽的冲突。在这个特别的房间里，一个法国橡木桌子和黑色皮革餐椅，以及木镶板墙，为明亮的艺术设置了场景，创造了一种熟悉但仍然独特的感觉。

These darker colours schemes with light art are common in the more functional and social rooms of the house like the kitchen, which is heavy in granite but still bright, while colourful combinations and attention grabbing schemes like we talked about before are reserved for the areas of the home that are intended to provide comfort and relaxation space.

这些颜色较深的颜色方案在家庭的更有功能和社会的房间里是很常见的，比如厨房，它的花岗岩很重，但仍然是明亮的，而我们之前讨论过的彩色组合和注意力抓取方案被保留在希望提供舒适和放松空间的家庭的区域。

Among the other notable features of the house are the kids’ bedroom and the home theatre. While the theatre is designed as a private space for bonding with friends and family, the children’s area is sports themed and made with built-in features like ball baskets and climbing nets to encourage activity and fun. If you think about it, the idea of enabling fun with the simple atmosphere of a room really is on theme with the rest of the house and its uses of art and colour!

这所房子的其他显著特点是孩子们的卧室和家庭剧院。虽然剧院被设计成一个私人空间，可以与朋友和家人联系在一起，但儿童区是以运动为主题的，配有内置的功能，比如球篮和攀岩网，以鼓励活动和娱乐。如果你想一想，让乐趣与房间的简单气氛，真的是主题与其余的房子，它的艺术和色彩的用途！
