以色列AX3極簡主義公寓設計-設計風向

這套兩居室公寓位於以色列特拉維夫市的雅法中心，由ETN工作室設計翻修，目的是打造一個光線充足的現代住宅，以符合業主的生活習慣。業主是一對職業夫婦，和一個年幼的女兒。公寓位於雅法建築群中，建築師Eitan Cohen結合當地材料和工藝參考，通過有趣的細節將極簡主義與當代美學結合了起來。

Located in central Jaffa in Tel Aviv, Israel, this two bedroom apartment was recently renovated by Studio ETN in order to create a thoroughly modern, light-filled home in tune with the lifestyle of its owners, a professional couple with a young daughter. Occupying a typical Jaffa building, architect Eitan Cohen has channelled the neighbourhood’s amalgamation of past and present by combining local materials and industrial references with a contemporary aesthetic of minimalist refinement interlaced with playful details.

公寓的布局被重新布置，由於其中一位業主是廚師，所以設計師拆除大部分牆壁，將走廊與廚房合並到客廳，為業主設計出一個寬敞的客廳。為了解決由於新布局帶來的自然光線分布不均勻和建築窗戶布局的問題，Cohen采用了由細輪廓框包圍的玻璃隔斷，將客廳與主臥室和書房分開，這一巧妙的解決方案使白天的日光均勻地照射在起居區域。公寓的天花板保留了原來的石膏板材質，在晚上，不同的燈光效果營造出了一種更親密的社交氛圍。

The apartment’s layout was completed redesigned in order to create a spacious living area for entertaining guests—one of the owners is a chef—which meant demolishing most walls, doing away with corridors and merging the kitchen into the living room. In order to address the uneven distribution of natural light due to the new layout brought and the building’s window configuration, Cohen introduced glass dividers framed by thin Belgium profiles to separate the living room from the master bedroom and study. This ingenious solution allows daylight to evenly flood the living area throughout the day, facilitated by the apartment’s high ceilings which have been wisely retained by eschewing the use of gypsum boards, while at night, different lighting scenarios create a more intimate or social atmosphere.

水泥地板、裸露的混凝土房梁、黑鋼結構，以及可見的風管，豐富的當地材料如水磨石和石頭，以及黃銅的使用，形成了一種樸素的城市美學。柔和的白色、灰色和黑色色調與現代家具和廚房櫥櫃、室內植物、木質窗框和百葉窗中呈現出的其它柔和色調相互融合碰撞，這是Jaffa建築的一個傳統特色，而女兒房則被注入了淺粉色。

Screed floors, exposed concrete beams, and black steel elements, along with visible air ducts establish an austere, urban aesthetic that is enriched by local materials such as terrazzo and stone, and the use of brass. The muted palette of white, grey and black is complemented by the pastel hues presented in the modern furniture and the kitchen’s cabinetry, indoor plants, and the wooden window frames and shutters, a traditional feature in Jaffa’s buildings, while the daughter’s room is infused in pale pink.

盡管房屋采用極簡主義設計，但室內仍充滿著精致的施工細節，包括定製的木工和金屬材料，部分懸掛在天花板上的餐廳櫃台，廚房裏的水磨石地磚與地麵瓷磚的拚接方式，風管穿透玻璃隔斷的手法。Cohen還加入了幾個有趣的設計，小頭骨充當抽屜把手，盆栽植物在架子上組合變成植物牆，公寓衣櫃裏用綠色天鵝絨鋪滿的凹槽閱讀角落。

Despite its minimalist sensibility, the interior design abounds with beautiful construction details including custom carpentry and metal work. Check out the dining counter which is partly suspended from the ceiling, or the way the terrazzo floor tiles in the kitchen meet the floor screed, or how the air duct effortlessly penetrates the glass partition. Cohen has also included several instances of playfulness that subtly subvert the décor’s austerity which also serve as unofficial hallmarks for his design practice. Small skulls take the role of drawer handles, potted plants transform a shelving unit into a botanical wall, and a reading nook upholstered in green velvet makes a surprising dent in the apartment’s wardrobe; the later conceived as a modern interpretation of a “tree house”, a romantic concept of escape that also aptly describes the overall feeling of this welcoming apartment.
