Alex P White | 紐約一間64㎡混凝土公寓-設計風向

美國設計師Alex P White為曼哈頓一棟高端公寓大樓設計了一戶單元公寓，其空間特色是裸露的混凝土天花板、灰色石膏牆和香草色裝飾。公寓位於196 Orchard內，這是一幢最近才完工的11層公寓大樓，位於下東區附近。這棟建築包含89個單元，從單間公寓到四居室公寓。據《房地產周刊》報道，房價從985,000美元到590萬美元(773875英鎊到460萬英鎊)不等。

American designer Alex P White has created a model unit for a high-end condominium building in Manhattan that features exposed concrete ceilings, grey plaster walls and vanilla-coloured decor.The show apartment is located within 196 Orchard, a recently completed 11-storey condominium building in the Lower East Side neighbourhood. The building contains 89 units, from studios to four-bedroom apartments. Prices range from $985,000 to $5.9 million (£773,875 to £4.6 million), according to Real Estate Weekly.

Alex P White是一名室內設計師，在紐約經營著一家同名工作室。對於這套總共686平方英尺(64平方米)的單臥室公寓來說，他運用了中性色調的飾麵裝飾，創造了平靜和優雅的氛圍。

Alex P White, an interior designer who runs an eponymous New York studio, was tasked with creating a model unit that would appeal to potential buyers. For a one-bedroom apartment totalling 686 square feet (64 square metres), White used finishes and decor in neutral tones to create a calm and elegant atmosphere.

一進門，就是開放式廚房和客廳。一扇玻璃門通向一個寬敞的露台，露台上有鍍金的青銅磚、碳化木花盆和混凝土家具。在公寓內，混凝土天花板未完成，為空間增添了原始美感。除此之外還有模仿混凝土的灰泥牆與淺灰色飾麵。設計師決定把天花板上的飾麵拆掉，把所有的房間都包裹在同樣的紋理結構中。這讓空間感到舒適。

Upon entering, one steps into an open-plan kitchen and living room. A glass door leads to a generous terrace featuring gilded bronze bricks, charred-wood planter boxes and concrete dining furniture.Inside the apartment, concrete ceilings were left unfinished, lending a raw aesthetic to the space. Adding to the effect are plaster walls with a light grey finish that mimics concrete.White decided to bring the ceiling finish down the walls, wrapping all the rooms in the same textural drama,This makes the spaces feel cosy .

設計師還決定在項目中采用一種“無家具”的方法——選擇定製的內置組件，為空間提供大部分功能而不會產生視覺混亂。

White decided on an ‘unfurnished’ approach for the project – opting instead for custom built-ins, while providing most of the function for the space without the visual clutter.

在臥室裏，設計師設計了一個平台床，床頭板一直升到天花板。布魯克林設計師Stephen Bukowski設計的細長黑色櫃與主導空間的淺色調形成對比。

In the bedroom, the designer created a platform bed with a headboard that rises to the ceiling. A slender black cabinet by Brooklyn designer Stephen Bukowski contrasts with the light tones that dominate the space.

整個公寓的天花板都采用了LED燈條。其他照明設備包括理查德·薩珀(Richard Sapper)設計的床頭燈和蒂姆·倫德爾(Tim Rundle)設計的Bloom台燈。
