STUDIO SHEFT FARRACE--洛杉矶Eastern Columbia公寓

建筑工作室Sheft Farrace翻新了位于洛杉矶标志性的东部哥伦比亚大楼的一间阁楼公寓，巧妙地将装饰艺术外观的色彩融入到极简主义的室内装饰中。该工作室在翻新阁楼的同时，从位于洛杉矶市中心的这栋13层楼的外观中汲取细节，该楼以高度细致的绿松石外墙和钟楼而闻名，由Claud Beelman设计，于1930年完工。


Architecture studio Sheft Farrace has renovated a loft apartment in Los Angeles' iconic Eastern Columbia building, subtly incorporating colours from the art deco exterior into the minimalist interiors.The studio renovated the loft while drawing details from the exterior of the 13-storey building in Downtown Los Angeles, known for its highly detailed turquoise facade and clock tower, which was designed by Claud Beelman and completed in 1930.





它在2006年被改造成阁楼，当地工作室Sheft Farrace被委托为一位来自哈萨克斯坦的年轻创意人士装修其中的一套公寓。这套公寓的天花板很高，建筑的狭长窗户和落地窗帘突出了它们的高度。工作室没有保持开放的平面，而是选择划分空间，以帮助定义不同功能的区域。然而，厨房和餐厅、客厅和卧室之间的视觉联系，被用来代替门的大框架的开口所保留。


It was converted into lofts in 2006, and local studio Sheft Farrace was recently tasked with renovating one of the condos for a young creative from Kazakhstan.The apartment has tall ceilings, and their height is accentuated by the building's long narrow windows and floor-to-ceiling drapery.Rather than keep the open floor plan, the studio chose to divide up the space to help define areas for different functions.However, the visual connections between the kitchen and dining room, and the living room and bedroom, are retained by large framed openings used in place of doors.





Sheft Frrace说："每个空间都有自己的特点，这取决于一天中的什么时候，以及自然光如何通过全高的窗户照射进来。”厨房和浴室的某些材料选择更紧密地与彩色外墙联系在一起，包括白橡木、Verde Aver大理石和佛罗里达Brush石英石，以呼应橙色、绿色和蓝色的外部瓷砖。


"Every space has its own character, based on what time of day it is and how the natural light comes in through the full-height windows," said Sheft Farrace.Certain material choices in the kitchen and bathroom tie much more closely to the colourful facades, including white oak, Verde Aver marble, and Florida Brush quartzite to echo the orange, green and blue exterior tiles.The curved corners of the kitchen counters and elongated cabinet hardware also evoke 1930s design.
