如果有一種方法來描述AMBER ROAD的工作方式，那就是無所畏懼。2019年很高興有這些才華橫溢的同事與我們肩并肩。開啟一個很棒的項目 - 一個20世紀60年代的住宅改造，，最初由Payne & Hunt Architects設計。

　　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.

　　位于悉尼海濱郊區的Cronulla，這個功能不全的兩室兩衛的分層住宅被改造成一個巧妙的家，現在有三個臥室，三個浴室，和一個寬敞的室內外休憩空間。

　　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傳統的磚砌內飾已經成為一個充滿活力的象征，反映了主人對快樂生活的向往。這個占地200平方米的住宅打破了許多規則，代表了室內建筑師，藝術家和客戶之間的緊密合作，從而實現了建筑，藝術和舒適的完美結合。

　　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與LYMESMITH合作，LYMESMITH設計了令人驚嘆的兩面壁畫和整個內飾中的所有油漆顏色。豐富的色彩搭配藝術品和家具，以意想不到的方式相互影響。作為一個崇尚色彩的人，這些令人興奮和獨特的組合確實讓人心跳加快。 如此多的規則被打破并重新設計成一種新的視覺效果，以便展現如此美妙的色彩。

　　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.

　　傳統的背景墻被一個被彩色壁畫包圍的老式壁爐取代。該藝術作品的靈感來自該物業位置的航拍照片，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拆除現有的后院與上面的樓層重新齊平。廚房搬到了一樓，樓下的起居活空間延伸到了美麗的花園。地板的大膽配色地板連接內部和外部區域。令人難以置信的設計元素，加上所有色彩繽紛的磚墻，體現Amber Road事務所對設計創新。

　　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.

　　一組“安靜”的顏色被引入作為一個基礎調色，與現有的墻面磚色調和諧共存。發揮了更積極的作用，如黃色的開放式廚房木柜，藍色的集成冰箱柜和赤陶色背景的廚房。

　　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.

　　鋪著粉色地毯的樓梯通向樓上，白色軟木瓷磚取代了原本雜亂的地板。三樓的客房、書房和套間取代了曾經被廚房占據的空間。

　　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.

　　回到二層樓下，主臥室和套間被彩色的木榫分開，強調了開放式生活的概念。客廳和餐廳空間，經典家具的選擇，與原建筑產生絲絲的牽絆。

　　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!

　　名字由來，Amber Road是一條古老的貿易路線，從波羅的海地區運送珍貴的樹脂寶石琥珀到北非。凱蒂的父親是拉脫維亞人，而亞絲明是埃及人，所以我們選擇了“Amber Road”來連接我們之間，同時也暗示了我們對旅行和冒險的熱愛。

　　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.
