如果有一种方法来描述AMBER ROAD的工作方式，那就是无所畏惧。2019年很高兴有这些才华横溢的同事与我们肩并肩。开启一个很棒的项目 - 一个20世纪60年代的住宅改造，，最初由Payne & Hunt Architects设计。

　　If there’s one way to describe the work of Sydney-based Amber Road, it would have to be fearless. I’m so happy to have these talented ladies back on our pages to kick off our 2019 editorial programme (hooray!) with yet another stellar project – a complete transformation of a 1960s house, initially designed by Payne & Hunt Architects.

　　位于悉尼海滨郊区的Cronulla，这个功能不全的两室两卫的分层住宅被改造成一个巧妙的家，现在有三个卧室，三个浴室，和一个宽敞的室内外休憩空间。

　　Located in Sydney’s beachside suburb of Cronulla, this previously dysfunctional split storey, two-bedroom, two-bathroom dwelling was transformed into an artful home, now with three bedrooms, three baths, and a generous indoor/ outdoor retreat space.

　　Polychrome House传统的砖砌内饰已经成为一个充满活力的象征，反映了主人对快乐生活的向往。这个占地200平方米的住宅打破了许多规则，代表了室内建筑师，艺术家和客户之间的紧密合作，从而实现了建筑，艺术和舒适的完美结合。

　　Nicknamed the Polychrome House, the once conventional brick interior has blossomed into an energetic design playground as a reflection of the owner’s commitment to joyful living. The 200-square-metre home breaks many rules, representing a fluid collaboration between Interior Architect, Artist and Client that’s resulted in a perfect marriage of architecture, art and comfort.

　　Amber Road与LYMESMITH合作，LYMESMITH设计了令人惊叹的两面壁画和整个内饰中的所有油漆颜色。丰富的色彩搭配艺术品和家具，以意想不到的方式相互影响。作为一个崇尚色彩的人，这些令人兴奋和独特的组合确实让人心跳加快。 如此多的规则被打破并重新设计成一种新的视觉效果，以便展现如此美妙的色彩。

　　Amber Road collaborated with LYMESMITH, who devised the stunning two wall murals and all paint colours found throughout the interior. The adventurous palette responds to the artwork and furniture, with tones playing off one another in unexpected ways. As someone who’s deeply committed to the idea of colour, these exciting and unique combinations really get my heart rate going. So many rules are broken and reworked into a new visual response that celebrates colour so beautifully.

　　传统的背景墙被一个被彩色壁画包围的老式壁炉取代。该艺术作品的灵感来自该物业位置的航拍照片，其棱角分明的形式十分完美。

　　In place of the typical entertainment wall, the existing hearth was substituted with a vintage-style fireplace surrounded by one of the colourful murals. The artwork, inspired by aerial photographs of the property’s location, replaces the typical TV wall, and its angular forms perfectly complement the new paving.

　　Amber Road拆除现有的后院与上面的楼层重新齐平。厨房搬到了一楼，楼下的起居活空间延伸到了美丽的花园。地板的大胆配色地板连接内部和外部区域。令人难以置信的设计元素，加上所有色彩缤纷的砖墙，体现Amber Road事务所对设计创新。

　　The key planning move by Amber Road saw the removal of the existing rear façade, which was realigned with the storey above. The upstairs kitchen was relocated to the ground floor, and the entire downstairs living space was extended into the beautiful established garden. A bold, crazy paving floor connects inside and outside areas. This incredibly bold design element, when coupled with all the brick walls and a multitude of brave colours, just shouldn’t work. But somehow it just does, and therein lies the Amber Road genius.

　　一组“安静”的颜色被引入作为一个基础调色，与现有的墙面砖色调和谐共存。发挥了更积极的作用，如黄色的开放式厨房木柜，蓝色的集成冰箱柜和赤陶色背景的厨房。

　　A suite of ‘quiet’ colours is introduced as a base palette, working in harmony with the existing face brick tones. A secondary palette plays a more active role, as seen in the yellow tinted open-pantry joinery, blue integrated fridge cabinets and terracotta backdrop to the kitchen.

　　铺着粉色地毯的楼梯通向楼上，白色软木瓷砖取代了原本杂乱的地板。三楼的客房、书房和套间取代了曾经被厨房占据的空间。

　　Mushroom pink carpet covered stair leads upstairs, where new white cork tiles replace shag pile floors. A third guest bedroom, loft with study and an ensuite replace the space once occupied by a kitchen.

　　回到二层楼下，主卧室和套间被彩色的木榫分开，强调了开放式生活的概念。客厅和餐厅空间，经典家具的选择，与原建筑产生丝丝的牵绊。

　　Back downstairs, the master bedroom and ensuite are separated with colourful timber dowels, emphasising the notion of open plan living. In the living and dining space, classic furniture pieces are selected to complement the original build from the sixties.

　　The final result is generous, playful and welcoming ‘shelter for living’ set within the Australian landscape, which firmly rejects design based on bland notions of resale value. Hallelujah!

　　名字由来，Amber Road是一条古老的贸易路线，从波罗的海地区运送珍贵的树脂宝石琥珀到北非。凯蒂的父亲是拉脱维亚人，而亚丝明是埃及人，所以我们选择了“Amber Road”来连接我们之间，同时也暗示了我们对旅行和冒险的热爱。

　　Why the name?Amber Road is the name of an ancient trade route along which the treasured resin gemstone Amber was transported, from the Baltic region to Northern Africa. Co-director Katys father is Latvian and Yasmines Egyptian, so we chose Amber Road to connect our separate, yet shared heritages, while also hinting at our shared love of travel and adventure.
