When designing a home for Sue Chan, the F-B multi-hyphenate behind Care of Chan, OWIU wanted to construct a space that was both ideal for working at home and a retreat from the city. Sue Chan’s constant shuffle between New York and Los Angeles necessitated a home that both highlighted the best of Los Angeles while remaining a curated space for work and calm. A cohesive singular space for living, the property also features a separate and completely newly constructed office unit.

在为 Care of Chan 背后的餐饮多业者 Sue Chan 设计住宅时，OWIU 希望建造一个既适合在家工作又适合远离城市的休闲空间。Sue Chan 经常往返于纽约和洛杉矶之间，因此需要一个既能凸显洛杉矶最好的一面，又能保持工作和平静的精心设计的空间。该物业是一个具有凝聚力的独特生活空间，还设有一个独立且全新建造的办公单元。

The curved walkway is a fitting introduction to the estate, the path one would take to get to the detached office. This showcases the vantage point and lush greenery surrounding the hills. Nature was considered even in the fencing as the OWIU was careful to build around the existing trees, creating small holes within the fencing for the branches to continue their growth.

弯曲的走道是对庄园的恰当介绍，也是人们到达独立办公室的路径。这展示了山丘周围的有利位置和郁郁葱葱的绿色植物。即使在围栏中也考虑到了自然，因为 OWIU 小心翼翼地围绕现有的树木建造，在围栏内打出小孔，以便树枝继续生长。

Set atop a hill in Echo Park, Sue Chan’s home privileges the expansive view of East Los Angeles. In order to take advantage of the scenery and iconic LA sunlight, OWIU designed the home to incorporate the existing nature into the overall structure. The living room seamlessly opens up to the sprawling deck that overlooks the hills of Echo Park, almost pulling the energy of the home outdoors. Given Sue Chan’s reputation for stylish entertaining, OWIU wanted to create a space that could easily transition into an open space for parties, easily transitioning from indoors to outdoors.

Sue Chan 的家坐落在回声公园的山顶上，享有洛杉矶东部广阔的景色。为了利用风景和标志性的洛杉矶阳光，OWIU 在设计住宅时将现有的自然景观融入到整体结构中。客厅无缝地通向广阔的甲板，俯瞰着回声公园的山丘，几乎将家里的能量拉到了户外。鉴于 Sue Chan 在时尚娱乐方面的声誉，OWIU 希望创造一个可以轻松过渡为聚会开放空间、轻松从室内过渡到室外的空间。

The open layout of the house flows easily from the newly constructed kitchen and the living room while the installation of a shoji screen, fabricated by local Japanese artisans creates a sense of privacy in the bedroom when closed. The bedroom is set on a discreetly raised platform to signify the separation of space without the interruption of a wall. This small design intervention has become a signature of the OWIU to denote spaces for meditation.

房子的开放式布局很容易从新建的厨房和客厅流出，而由当地日本工匠制作的障子屏风的安装在卧室关闭时创造了一种隐私感。卧室设置在一个谨慎升高的平台上，以表示空间的分隔，而没有墙壁的干扰。这种小型设计干预已成为 OWIU 的标志，表示冥想空间。

The kitchen was co-designed with Reform and features a slanted skylight for maximum light in this part of the house. The wood finishings are continuous with the cedar and oak throughout the house, giving the home an earthy warmth, reminiscent of a cabin. OWIU worked with Reform to maximize the small space with hidden storage and floating shelves for storage.

厨房是与 Reform 共同设计的，并设有倾斜的天窗，为房子的这一部分提供最大的光线。整个房子的木质装饰与雪松和橡木连续不断，给房子带来朴实的温暖，让人想起小屋。OWIU 与 Reform 合作，通过隐藏式储物空间和浮动储物架来最大限度地利用狭小的空间。

The separate office unit was designed to aesthetically mirror the main house with cedar clad siding and oak finishing used in the main house. While similar materials were employed, OWIU wanted this unit to show a clear functional difference from the main house. While the main house is ideal for entertaining, the office unit feels closer to a sanctuary or hideaway. Like the bedroom, a platform was installed to signify a space of retreat and privacy. The room features a picture-window, perfectly framing trees outdoors for a constant view of the outdoors.

独立的办公单元旨在美观地反映主屋，主屋采用雪松覆盖的壁板和橡木饰面。虽然使用了类似的材料，但 OWIU 希望这个单元能够显示出与主屋明显的功能差异。虽然主屋非常适合娱乐，但办公单元感觉更接近避难所或世外桃源。与卧室一样，也安装了一个平台来表示休息和隐私的空间。房间设有观景窗，完美地框住了户外的树木，让您可以不间断地欣赏户外景色。

Both a retreat and a home for entertaining, Sue Chan’s home reflects the best of Los Angeles with its verdant scenery and view of Echo Park. OWIU worked with these existing elements to create a home that also functions as a working space and a place to host friends and family.

Sue Chan 的家既是一处休憩之所，又是一处娱乐之家，拥有翠绿的风景和回声公园的景观，体现了洛杉矶最好的一面。OWIU 利用这些现有元素创建了一个兼具工作空间和接待朋友和家人的场所的家。

Intimate and yet inviting, Sue Chan’s home is a distinct example of how OWIU creates multi-functional spaces without superfluous design.

Sue Chan 的家既亲密又诱人，是 OWIU 如何在没有多余设计的情况下创造多功能空间的独特例子。
