悉尼Woollahra区的室内设计师Freya Salter为她自己的居所打造了一个宁静、近乎冥想般的空间，充分利用每一寸光线。

For her own home in Sydney’s Woollahra, interior designer Freya Salter has created a serene, almost meditative space that embraces light at every opportunity.

尽管Freya Salter可能并不认为自己是建筑师，但她与身为建造者的丈夫Richard Oddie共同打造的家，从各种意义上讲，都不输于建筑师设计的住宅。

这座令人惊叹的居所巧妙运用了光线、形态与材质，轻盈而含蓄地矗立于悉尼东部富庶郊区Woollahra那些传统与现代交织的住宅群中。

She may not consider herself to be an architect, but the home Freya Salter created for herself and her builder husband Richard Oddie is, for all intents and purposes, an architect-designed home. This stunning residence, with a deep consideration of light, form and materiality, sits lightly and subtly amid the jumble of heritage and modern homes that populate the well-heeled suburb of Woollahra in Sydney’s east.

这座住宅由两座双层的白色砖砌亭阁组成——前亭包含入口、主卧套房、次卧、书房和客厅；

后亭则设有第二客厅、小型书房、开放式厨房和用餐区（通向露台）、浴室和洗衣区——两者通过一个由超大滑动玻璃门围合的禅意庭院巧妙相连。

“到了夏天，当所有这些门都打开时，简直美极了，”Oddie说道。

Salter补充道：

“室内与室外空间实现了美妙的连通，我们非常幸运，隔壁有一棵枝繁叶茂的桉树，巨大的树冠投下了最美丽的树荫。

The home comprises dual two-storey, white-brick pavilions – the front containing an entry, main bedroom suite, second bedroom, study and living room; the rear with a second living space, smaller study, open-plan kitchen and dining space that opens to a deck, bathroom and laundry – thoughtfully linked by a Zen-like courtyard framed by oversized sliding glass doors. “In summer, it’s absolutely lovely when all of those doors are open,” says Oddie. Salter chimes in: “There is a wonderful connection with the exterior, and we’re so lucky to have an established gum tree next door, with a large canopy that creates the most beautiful shadows.”

然而，这座住宅的最初形态并非如此辉煌。

“最初的住宅由两座独立的居所构成：

一座是带有平屋顶的两层纤维水泥板和砖砌建筑，设计围绕着借鉴了日本美学的庭院，”Salter回忆道，“入口是通过一条花园小径，再拾级而上到达地面层，因此与街道没有连接，两座建筑之间也没有内部连通。

Its beginnings, however, weren’t quite as splendid. “The original residence had two separate dwellings: flat-roofed, two-storey fibro and brick, designed around a courtyard that borrowed from a Japanese aesthetic,” recalls Salter. “The entry was via a garden path with stairs to the ground level, so there was no connection to the street and no internal connection between the structures.”

这对夫妇在新居所开始建造之前，在那里居住了仅仅一年多——她担任建筑师/设计师，他则担任建造者。

虽然原有的住宅已被拆除，但Salter在即将成为Woollahra住宅的新居中融入了两件独特的纪念品。

首先是中央庭院。

“我喜欢原来住宅里的庭院，而且像我们这种类似联排别墅的结构，能够打开中央空间的设计非常吸引人，”她说，“我的第一个想法就是在房屋的中心位置种上一棵橄榄树，并以一面粗凿的石灰石墙作为背景。

当你穿梭于两座亭阁之间时，这棵橄榄树为周围精致的滑动玻璃门和石灰石地板提供了一个自然的对比。

The couple lived there for just over a year before they started work on the new residence – her as architect/designer, him as builder. While the original dwellings were razed, Salter incorporated two distinctive mementos in what would become Woollahra House. First, the central courtyard. “I loved the courtyard in the original house, and in a terrace-like structure like ours, the ability to open up the centre was so appealing,” she says. “One of my first thoughts was to put an olive tree, set against a rough-cut limestone wall, at the heart of the house. As you move between the two pavilions, it provides a natural counterpoint to the precision of the surrounding sliding glass doors and limestone flooring.”

第二件纪念品则是来自原住宅的砖块，这些砖块被用来构成西侧内墙的一部分，为住宅的特质增添了重要的一面。

“小时候，我在20世纪70年代的涂漆砖砌房屋中度过了许多快乐的时光，我一直喜欢房屋结构的坦诚可见。

熟练的砌砖工人将这些旧砖与新砖交织在一起，他们竭力打破常规，力求达到我想要达到的质感。

你可以在砖块中看到的墙壁和楼梯的轮廓，是对最初那座两层住宅的提醒。

The second memento is bricks from the original house, which are used to form part of the western interior wall and add an important facet of the home’s character. “As a child, some of my happiest memories took place in 1970s houses with painted bricks, and I’ve always loved the honesty of the house’s structure being so visible. The old and new bricks were knitted together by skilled bricklayers, who tried desperately to go against their usual perfection to achieve the textural quality I wanted. The outlines of walls and stairs you can see in the bricks are a reminder of the original two-storey dwelling.”

白色的墙壁与其他多种材料和元素相互协作，赋予空间一种无处不在的轻盈与宁静感。

这种感觉从脚下开始——采用了Bisanna品牌的柔和珍珠色石灰石地板和Havwoods品牌的浅色原生欧洲橡木地板——并在视线高度及更高处延续，包括客厅中奢华的奶油色沙发和Bocci品牌轻盈的21.14吊灯，14盏由原生瓷器制成的灯具悬挂在空间中，犹如一串小巧的浅色铃铛。

“我想要一座不杂乱、简约且具有纹理感的住宅外壳，”Salter说道。

“为了实现这一点，我简化了配色方案，让画作和特定物件脱颖而出，并采用了自然、中性的配色方案，以实现宁静、和谐的设计，”她继续说道。

The white walls act in cahoots with a score of other materials and elements to imbue the spaces with a pervasive sense of lightness and tranquillity. These start underfoot – a subdued Crema Perla limestone floor from Bisanna, Havwoods’ pale raw European oak floorboards – and continue at eye level and beyond, including luxe cream couches in the living room and Bocci’s ethereal 21.14 pendant, 14 raw porcelain lights that hang in that space like a series of small pale bells. “I wanted a house that was an uncluttered, simple, textural shell,” says Salter. “In order to achieve that, I pared back the palette to allow paintings and specific pieces to come to the fore, and utilised a natural, neutral palette for a calm, cohesive design,” she continues.

大量的玻璃让光线倾泻而入，包括前亭后部的双层玻璃高墙，其后是一个由Salter顶层书房和底层客厅围合而成的戏剧性空间。

“我希望尽可能多的光线流入客厅，并希望坐在办公室里就能看到整棵橄榄树。

这个空间还能让入口层与庭院在视觉上相连，并享受到下层玻璃门打开时带来的气流。

此外，我也爱上了Bocci品牌的灯具，并希望有一个空间能让它贯穿其中。

Light floods in through extensive glazing, including a double-height wall of glass at the rear of the front pavilion, backed by a dramatic void bounded by Salter’s study on the top floor and the living room on the ground. “I wanted as much light as possible to flow into the living room and to be able to sit in my office and see the whole olive tree. The void also allows the entry level to connect visually with the courtyard and benefit from the airflow gained when the lower glass doors are open. I also fell in love with the Bocci light fitting and wanted a space it could travel through.”

Salter在整个Woollahra住宅中融入了微妙的垂直图案，这种图案创造出一种连贯感，强调了空间的高度，并让集中的光线照进各个房间。

这种垂直感始于街道，从前门的栅栏和车库的板条开始，然后在家中各处零星出现，从前立面上的一片玻璃（实际上是主卫的一扇固定窗）开始，再到厨房防溅板上采用Artedomus品牌的垂直铺设的日本Sairin马赛克瓷砖，最后是主客厅中的雕塑感木质屏风，“它为楼梯增添了一抹装饰元素，并在夜晚营造出美妙的阴影”。

Salter has incorporated a subtle vertical motif throughout Woollahra House, which creates a sense of connectivity, accentuates height and allows focused slices of light into rooms. The verticality begins at the street, with the slats of the front fence and garage, then appears sporadically throughout, from a sliver of glass in the front facade – actually a fixed window in the ensuite – and Sairin Japanese mosaic tiles from Artedomus laid vertically for the kitchen splashback to a sculptural timber screen in the main living room that “adds a decorative element to the stairs and creates wonderful shadows at night”.

这所住宅中最令人意想不到的设计之一是位于厨房和用餐区之上的屋顶花园，第二客厅可俯瞰这一空间。

对于Salter和Oddie来说，将屋顶花园纳入设计是毋庸置疑的。

“我们一直想拥有一个绿色屋顶，既是为了隔热，也是为了美观，”Salter说道。

“The Garden Social的Asher Cole一眼就看出它可以将前景与远处的Cooper Park绿色景观相连。

她设计了这片如牧场般的空间，极大地提升了室内环境和身处该空间的体验。

它还营造了一种与自然环境相连的感觉，”她继续说道。

One of the home’s most unexpected moments is a roof garden that sits atop the kitchen and dining space, overlooked by the second sitting room. Including it was a no-brainer for Salter and Oddie. “We always wanted a green roof, both for insulation and for aesthetic reasons,” says Salter. “Asher Cole of The Garden Social saw it immediately as a link between the foreground and the distant green of Cooper Park. She designed the meadow-like space and it adds so much to the interior and the experience of being in that room. It also creates a feeling of connection to the natural environment,” she continues.

最重要的是，光线与光影的交错定义了Woollahra住宅。

“光线给人以积极的感觉，”室内设计师说道。

“它通过展现与隐藏营造出空间的氛围。

阴影为住宅的质感增添了一层动态感——树木的摇曳、草地的起伏、夜晚人们走下楼梯的身影，所有这些元素共同为空间增添了生机。

Above all else, it’s the light and the play of shadow that defines Woollahra House. “Light feels positive,” says the interior designer. “It creates ambience in spaces, with what it reveals and conceals. The shadows add a kinetic layer to the textures of the house – the movement of the trees, the grasses, people moving down the stairs at night all combine to add life to the space.”
