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.

一旦设计师们决定把房子的气氛集中在颜色、艺术和形状上，他们就决定把这些主题延伸到家里的建筑中去。这就是为什么你可以看到如此独特和令人愉悦的形状，如楼梯，通往地下室，酒窖，或明亮的板条木天花板以上的家庭房间。

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.

因为房子的正面整体是由玻璃制成的，所以住宅内部的独特形状的特征似乎被框架在那些开窗的墙壁内，因为人们认为生活空间本身是艺术的。游客在开车时令人愉快，但这并不牺牲隐私，这多亏了房子离街道本身的距离。

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.

从一个房间搬到另一个房间，你会感觉到每个空间都有一个有凝聚力的主题，即使它并不明确，尽管每个空间仍然很适合整个家庭的整体色彩结构。非正式休息室是我们男人的完美例子。在这里，所有的东西都有海洋蓝色，茶色和陶瓷绿色的阴影，这建立了一个整体的海蓝宝色沉重的感觉。图案在这里也扮演了一个角色，因为房间是厚重的大胆米索尼面料在对比冰糕的阴影。每个房间都有一个友好的个性，并有助于创造一种感觉，通过房子是一个旅程。

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，如餐厅，被故意削减他们的礼仪和家具。这是为了让所有者收藏中最吸引眼球的画作真正在一个空间中脱颖而出，而不会造成有损其美的冲突。在这间特别的房间里，一张法国橡木桌和黑色皮革餐椅，以及木板镶板的墙壁，为明亮的艺术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.

这些带有光线艺术的深色方案在厨房这样功能更强、更具社交功能的房间里很常见，厨房里的花岗岩很重，但仍然很明亮，而我们之前提到过的彩色组合和吸引注意力的方案，都是专门为家庭提供舒适和放松空间的区域而设计的。

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！
