The Diamond Residence is located on the top floor of a landmark 1939 building on the Normandy Coast in Trouville-sur-Mer. The apartment was renovated by Nous Studio, a multi-disciplinary interiors, architecture and design studio Located both in Brooklyn, NY and in Normandy, France.

钻石住宅位于1939年诺曼底海岸一座地标建筑的顶层，位于特鲁维尔-苏尔-梅尔。这套公寓由努斯工作室(Nous Studio)翻新，这是一间多学科的室内、建筑和设计工作室，位于纽约布鲁克林和法国诺曼底(Normandy)。

Project description: This 1,300 SF two-bedroom gut-renovation was about keeping the bones but modifying the skin. Indeed, the existing oak wood floor just needed to be sanded to find its original glory and the perimeter windows had to remain as is.

项目描述：这1300 SF双卧室肠道翻新是关于保持骨骼，但修改皮肤。事实上，现有的橡木地板只需经过砂磨才能找到原来的荣耀，周边的窗户必须保持原样。

Our client is emotionally attached to this apartment. It is the place where she grew up and where she is projecting to retire. Her original program was to alter the apartment in a conservative way by updating the kitchen and the bathrooms and by preserving its character. She also requested the use of stripes as it represents Normandy’s perfect postcard of local public beach furniture.

我们的当事人对这间公寓情有独钟。这是她长大的地方，也是她计划退休的地方。她最初的计划是以一种保守的方式改变公寓，更新厨房和浴室，并保留它的特色。她还要求使用条纹，因为它代表诺曼底当地公共海滩家具的完美明信片。

With this in mind, we produced a conceptual story for the entire apartment iterating stripe-patterns along with the existing qualities of this space, keeping in mind our client’s personal traits of character and aesthetic. Her eclectic taste for precious objects and her fulfilled life traveling all around the globe were important to us to take into account. As a result, we were asked to proceed with an extensive renovation.

考虑到这一点，我们为整个公寓制作了一个概念故事-迭代条纹模式，以及这个空间的现有质量，同时铭记我们客户的个性和审美特征。她对珍贵物品的兼容并蓄的品味，以及她周游全球的充实生活，对我们来说都很重要。因此，我们被要求进行大规模的翻修。

One of our main challenges was to establish spatial harmony and visual connections from one room to another while bringing a modern, minimalist yet warm, luxurious spatial feel and creating analogies to early 20th Century French interiors. We also wanted to work with humble materials such as wood and plaster while bringing a concept of preciousness via handcrafting and detailing.

我们的主要挑战之一是建立从一个房间到另一个房间的空间和谐和视觉联系，同时给20世纪早期的法国室内设计带来一种现代的、简约的、温暖的、奢华的空间感，并创造出类比。我们还想用简陋的材料，如木材和石膏，同时带来一个宝贵的概念，通过手工和细节。

We started by re-aligning all openings of the central corridor which serves as the major spine of the apartment and by creating a continuous floating ceiling with backlit niches. The latter creates contrast and dimension to the main circulation along with 3-dimensional faceted plaster stripes. The symmetrical alignments of the over-scaled French oak doors reestablish a consistent rhythm while the plaster stripes playfully interpret Haussmannien interiors and moldings.

我们开始重新调整中央走廊的所有开口，这是公寓的主要脊柱，并创造了一个带有背光壁龛的连续浮动天花板。后者与主循环形成对比和维度，以及三维石膏条纹。对称排列的过度法国橡木门重建了一致的节奏，而灰泥条纹有趣地解释豪斯曼尼内部和造型。

The consistent use of French oak throughout the project (window opening and door, custom Millwork and built-in piece) paired with variations of geometrical pattern transform the apartment into a harmonious and fluid home. Each room echoes one another instead of competing.

在整个项目中始终使用法国橡木(开窗和开门，定制磨坊和内置件)，加上几何图形的变化，将公寓改造成一个和谐而流畅的家。每个房间相互呼应，而不是竞争。

In order to counter the awkward, elongated and angular shape of the lounge, we mirrored the triangular end of the room from the center of the living room window. As a result, we obtained a diamond shape. This gem is accentuated thanks to a dropped ceiling with glowing and continuous knife-edge cove lighting at its perimeter. This constitutes the most striking piece of the apartment: the diamond crown!

为了对抗尴尬、细长和角形的休息室，我们从客厅窗户的中央镜像了房间的三角形端。因此，我们得到了一个钻石形状。这宝石是强调感谢下降的天花板与发光和持续的刀口湾照明在其周边。这是这套公寓中最引人注目的一块：钻石王冠！

Actually, there are many gems in this home: the faceted moldings and stripes, the knife-edge cove lighting, the glowing gold black and white kitchen floor, the powder room trompe l’oeil wall…

实际上，这座房子里有很多宝石：刻面的造型和条纹，刀口的小海湾照明，闪闪发光的金色黑白厨房地板，化妆室的…。

The fruitful collaboration with our client and handpicked local artisans transformed this project into a uniquely crafted, playful but rigorous tailored home cherished by the entire design and contractor team and more importantly by our client!

与我们的客户和精心挑选的本地工匠的富有成效的合作，使这个项目成为一个独特的工艺，好玩，但严格定制的家园，整个设计和承包商团队，更重要的是，我们的客户！
