这座名为Mar Vista的住宅改造项目，是一栋位于洛杉矶西部1953年建成的平房。该住宅离海岸3.2公里，坐落在一整片内陆郊区的尽头。

The Mar Vista house is the renovation of a 1953 bungalow in west Los Angeles. Located two miles inland from the ocean, the property sits at the end of a cul-de-sac within a larger suburban masterplan.

房主是一家精品服装店的老板，不同于她商店琳琅满目的材料和图案，她希望自己的住所拥有柔和的氛围。作为回应，我们将 “纯白的房子” 作为设计概念。由于住宅的场地条件，这一看似简单的想法，在概念上具有相当大的挑战性。虽然这座房间从房产市场购入后就几乎完全是白色的，但它缺少光线、深度、细节和舒适感。

The client, owner of a boutique apparel store, wanted a home with a subdued contrast to the color and patterns found in her shops. In response, we explored an “all-white house.” This seemingly simple directive proved to be conceptually challenging given the context of the existing house. While it was almost entirely white to begin with - a trademark of similar homes that are hastily “upgraded” for appeal within the real estate market - it lacked the light, depth, detail, and comfort the owner sought.

因此，我们在每个空间中的纵深中融入多样性和细节，同时保持整体的平静感。我们对已经存在的家具、房屋的建造细节和材料进行了重新设计和诠释其在家庭中的体现。

As such, we approached this design with great nuance and variety to attain a gradually unfolding depth within each space while maintaining a general sense of calmness. Unconsidered objects of domesticity, customary details of construction, and industry-standard uses of materials were examined and redefined to subvert their traditional representation within the home.

厨房中岛被当作雕塑一样设计，一侧弯曲来弱化它们在空间中的存在。天窗设计得像家具一样被木质结构包裹，每个天窗附近都配有随时提供照明的灯具。传统材料的层次是倒置的，橱柜底座的大理石和定制的水泥面被倒置。

The kitchen island and hood are treated like sculptural objects, curved to soften their presence within the space. Skylights are designed like furniture and clad with millwork, each fitted with an internal light fixture to provide illumination at all times. Traditional material hierarchies are inverted, with graphic marble at cabinet bases and custom concrete backsplashes above.

整个房子使用了十几种具有轻微触觉和色调变化的“白色”材料，包括各种大理石、织物、石头、混凝土、玻璃、涂层、斑点和油漆。每个房间都独特的色调，被用途所定义，所有表面都是齐平的，使所有平面视觉上处于同级。

More than a dozen “white” materials with slight tactile and tonal shifts are used throughout the house, including various marbles, fabrics, stones, concrete, glass, lacquers, powder-coats, stains, and paints. Each room is assigned a unique palette defined by use, and all surfaces are detailed flush to avoid any one material-plane taking precedence over another.

客厅内被设计成一个下沉的座位区，参考了传统家庭时代这座住宅的谈话间。

A new sunken seating area is inserted into the living room, evoking the conversation pits popular during the era of the original home.

这种在下沉层不同寻常的视角加强了倒置的材料使用策略，使后花园更加突出。

This new arrangement’s unusual perspective of the house from below ground-level reinforces the atypical material strategies, and offers a unique vantage point of the rear garden.

在住宅的另一侧，阶梯的走道转角使主卧室可以看到户外的景色，同时也隐藏了壁橱。

At the opposite end of the house, an oblique millwork tunnel is angled to provide views outdoors from the master bedroom, while also concealing a hidden closet within.

同时我们还为每个空间的使用场景设计了几件定制家具和软垫区域。

Several custom furniture pieces and upholstered areas were also designed to suit the planned use of each space.

日光是整个改造策略中最重要“材料”，随着太阳的移动，不断变化的光线、阴影、反射、渐变和色调重新定义了住宅里每一处的质感。

Daylight acts as the final “material” coalescing all of these strategies, continually redefining the house with shifting layers of light, shadow, reflection, gradient, and hue as the sun moves.
