Toorak 住宅

| Toorak

在现有的街景中，Toorak House 2既有阳刚之气，又有自信，其正式的设计方式抓住了居住者的个性，同时也刻画出自己独特的身份。作为热衷于娱乐的人，该住宅成为了业主开放性的体现，并与周围的环境和谐共处。K.P.D.O.既激发了旧世界的魅力，又带来了现代的新鲜感，使这个家充满了活力。

Both masculine and confident in its presence among the existing streetscape,the formal approach of Toorak House 2 captures the personalities of those living within,whilst also carving out a distinctive identity of its own. As keen entertainers, the home becomes the embodiment of the owners’openness and sits agreeably engaged with the surrounds. K.P.D.O. inspires both a sense of old-world glamour and a contemporary freshness, bringing the resulting home to life.

该住宅在整个过程中平衡了私密性和更多暴露的元素。K.P.D.O.创造了一种穿越空间的感觉，混合使用了弯曲的开口和更多的线性元素，以微妙的方式定义不同的区域。弯曲的开口最初缓和了更多正式空间之间的过渡，并鼓励每个空间之间的联系感。暖和而中性的石灰华地板为室内带来独特的脉络和纹理，同时也加强了家庭生活所需的弹性。

The home balances both private and more revealing elements throughout. K.P.D.O. has created a sense of journey as one moves through the spaces, using a mix of curved openings and more linear elements to define the different areas in subtle ways. The curved openings initially soften the transition between more formal spaces and encourage a sense of connection between each. The warm and neutral travertine tone flooring running underneath brings individual veining and texture to the interior, whilst also reinforcing the resilience needed for family life.

Custom No,9设计师Amy Durnford在阿联酋最好的工匠的帮助下，设想了一个空灵的天堂。Durnford最喜欢的空间是下沉式对话坑，由于她在右边安装了大窗户和定制的双折叠门，因此充满了自然光。撇开其棘手的布局和迪拜老式别墅常见的一系列其他技术问题，这对夫妇爱上了环绕着场地的20米高的树木。亚麻布、黄麻和陶瓷等土质材料带来了朴实的气息。

Custom No,9 designer Amy Durnford has envisioned an ethereal haven with the help of the UAE’s finest artisans.Durnford’s favourite space, the sunken conversation pit, is filled with natural light, courtesy of the large windows and bespoke bi-folding doors (on the right) that she installed.Looking past its tricky layout and a host of other technical problems that are common with old villas in Dubai, the couple fell in love with the 20-metre-tall trees hugging the site.Earthy textures such as linen, jute and ceramics bring an earthy vibe.

她在当地与阿联酋企业合作，开发了赋予房屋独特个性的每一个设计元素：从T形门把手和将起居空间向室外开放的可旋转双折板，到从墙壁和地板延伸到弧形厨房岛的微水泥饰面，使房屋呈现出泥土气息。虽然她经常需要推动供应商尝试新的东西，但结果无论是黄麻地板楼梯间的手工弯曲金属栏杆，还是为室内建筑带来柔和感的圆形边缘，都证明了迪拜承包商可以提供高质量的工艺。

She developed every design element that gives the house its distinct character, locally with fellow UAE businesses: from the T-bar door handles and the pivoting bifold panels that open the living space to the outdoors, to the micro-cement finish that runs from the walls and floors onto the curved kitchen island, giving the home its earthy look. And while she often had to push suppliers to try something new, the results – be it the hand-bent metal rail of the jute floored stairwell or rounded edges that lend softness to the architecture inside – are testament to the high-quality workmanship that Dubai contractors can deliver.
