Alex P White親自操刀為一棟高端公寓大樓設計了樣板間，裸露的混凝土天花板、灰色石膏墻和香草色裝飾。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.公寓位于196Orchard內，這是一幢最近完工的11層公寓大樓，位于下東區附近。這棟建筑包含89個單元，戶型包含單身公寓到四居室。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.
Alex P White是一名室內設計師，在紐約經營著一家同名工作室。對于一套64平方米的單臥室公寓來說，運用中性色調的飾面和裝飾，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.進門映入眼簾的是開放式廚房和客廳。客廳山紋玻璃門通向寬敞的露臺，裝飾有青銅磚、綠植和混凝土桌椅。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.
在公寓內部，混凝土天花板形成一種未完成感，給空間帶來了原始的美感。使用灰泥與淺灰色飾面，模仿混凝土。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.
廚房旨在兼顧功能和美觀性，石英臺面、胡桃木櫥柜和Miele電器。設計師使用了尼祿馬奎納大理石作為烹飪區的墻面。The kitchen – designed to merge style and functionality – features quartz countertops, walnut and lacquered cabinetry, and Miele appliances. Behind the stove, the designer integrated a dark backsplash made of Nero Marquina marble.吧臺部分搭配弧形木質靠背椅，精心挑選的裝飾品包括Aldo Rossi的不銹鋼茶壺和埃托雷·索特薩斯(Ettore Sottsass)的陶瓷花瓶增添了些許的趣味性。A bar is lined with wooden stools from Coil + Drift. Other pieces of carefully chosen decor include a stainless steel tea kettle by Aldo Rossi and a ceramic vase by Ettore Sottsass.
“我決定繼續沿用天花板的飾面，把所有的房間都包裹在同樣的紋理中，”這讓空間感到十分舒適的同時，強調露臺的景色。”'I decided to bring the ceiling finish down the walls, wrapping all the rooms in the same textural drama,' the designer said. 'This makes the spaces feel cosy and epic at the same time, while the moody palette really emphasises the views to the terrace.'
客廳的沙發上方是洛杉磯藝術家Mary Little設計的一系列象牙色壁掛。沙發造型與墻面紋理相呼應，搭配白色布藝的坐墊與軟包。客廳雖小但是五臟俱全。The kitchen looks upon a narrow living room with a mix of shapes and textures. One wall is lined with a built-in sofa wrapped in Belgian linen and a travertine lounge table – both designed by White. Above the sofa is a series of ivory wall hangings by Los Angeles artist Mary Little.
“我決定在項目中采用一種‘無家具’的方法——選擇定制的內置組件，同時完善空間大部分功能，統一視覺感官體驗。”設計師說。'I decided on an unfurnished approach for the project – opting instead for custom built-ins that extend and respond to the architecture, while providing most of the function for the space without the visual clutter,' the designer said.
電視背景墻主要以由三種顏色混搭的層架組成。Frank Gehry設計的扭動硬紙板椅子為空間增添了一種雕塑感。The opposing wall features a large walnut shelving unit designed by White. A Wiggle cardboard chair by Frank Gehry adds a sculptural touch to the space.
設計師說:“精心挑選的藝術作品不應該只是簡單的裝飾，它們還應該增加其敘事性，用一些極具代表性復古作品，與現代藝術混搭，我認為它們應該與過去有著重要的聯系。”'Well-selected art and design objects should do more than simply decorate – they should add narrative,' said White. 'I used a few iconic vintage pieces mixed with contemporary objects that I thought had a significant dialogue with the recent past.'
在臥室里，設計了一個平板床，床的靠背部分一直延伸至天花板。布魯克林設計師Stephen Bukowski設計的黑色邊柜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.
整個公寓的照明采用LED燈帶。其他照明設備包括Richard Sapper設計的床頭燈和Tim Rundle設計的Bloom臺燈。Throughout the apartment, thin LED strips are integrated into the ceilings. Other lighting fixtures include bedside lamps by Richard Sapper and a Bloom table lamp by Tim Rundle for Resident.設計師:“在有質感的材料上使用合適的燈光總是會提升整體的呈現效果。”'The right light playing over textural and seductive materials will always elevate,' said White.
浴室設有大理石地板、石英臺面和漆面梳妝臺。乳白色土耳其大理石用于淋浴房。 Cove-lit浴室柜提供足夠存儲空間。The bathroom features marble floors and wainscoting, quartz countertops and a lacquer vanity. Milky white Turkish marble was used for the shower. Cove-lit cabinetry provides storage space.
