Entracte House 是一座为期五年的居所,这座位于新加坡的联排别墅(terrace)证明了深思熟虑的克制设计,往往比彻底的重塑更具感染力

有些住宅被视为永远的归宿,而另一些则是为人生中的特定篇章而设计。Entracte House 显然属于后者,它坚信深思熟虑的联排别墅(terrace)设计并不一定要与永久性挂钩。

这座占地4,500平方英尺的联排别墅(terrace)由 Ascend Design 为新加坡东北部的一户三口之家打造,其名称源于法语词汇 entr’acte,意为戏剧演出中的幕间休息。对于一个仅计划居住五年的家庭来说,这无疑是一个贴切的隐喻。

这种理念贯穿于每一个设计决策。创意总监 Agnes Yap 与首席设计师 Jasper Goh 没有选择大规模的翻新重建,而是保留了原有的结构优点。住宅宽敞的比例、充足的自然光和合理的动线都得到了完好保留,从而将有限的装修预算集中在最具视觉冲击力的区域。

Goh 表示:“在住宅设计中,一种根深蒂固的观念是:如果不是全面的建筑改造,那便是一种妥协。但这个项目证明了事实恰恰相反。”

业主通过 Instagram 找到了 Ascend Design,他们被该工作室那种“将住宅室内设计视为克制之道而非展示之所”的作品风格所打动。身为商业飞行员的丈夫与从事金融工作的妻子,以及他们正处于青少年时期的儿子,并不热衷于为一个虚构的未来进行昂贵的装修。他们的需求务实而清晰:保留现有的布局,彻底改造厨房和浴室,并在此基础上以克制的手法升华空间。作为热情好客的主人,他们希望家居空间能真实地反映生活方式,满足日常小酌与招待好友的需求。

设计师们并未将这座联排别墅(terrace)视为一张白纸,而是以编辑的视角审视每一个细节。原有的艺术品、家具和个人收藏被尽可能保留,新的设计干预则巧妙地围绕它们层层叠进。最终的室内氛围如同一部精心策展的作品集,让家庭的个性始终占据核心位置。

克制感也体现在精妙的材质运用上。奶油色石灰岩奠定了厨房和湿区的基调,温暖的木质细木工制品增加了丰富度且不显压抑。拉丝黄铜水龙头带来隐约的暖意并随时间沉淀质感,而卡拉卡塔白大理石则将主卫打造为一处宁静的避世所。唯一的剧烈转变出现在化妆室中——深绿色大理石板在这一狭小空间内制造出了令人难忘的视觉惊喜。

客人们在进入联排别墅(terrace)走廊后不久,便会领略到这种惊喜。起居室中,奶油色组合沙发与深色木质媒体柜达成平衡。氛围宁静且低调,让人几乎预想不到在转角处隐藏着那令人惊艳的戏剧化空间。

化妆室采用了绿色大理石包裹,搭配拉丝黄铜装置与新鲜花艺,呈现出意想不到的奢华质感。这是一个空间紧凑,却拥有强烈存在感的一隅,再次印证了尺度绝非影响力的障碍。

然而,这座住宅的灵魂所在却另有其处。在主会客区的一侧,隐藏着一个专为好客的主人设计的隐秘鸡尾酒吧。深色木质嵌板墙面配以玻璃背光展示架,让这个私密空间宛如一家精品私人酒廊。柔和的低照度灯光与舒适的座位布局,构筑了一处远离开放式起居区的终极社交目的地。

Ascend Design 并没有在整座住宅中铺设多个喧宾夺主的焦点,而是将注意力精准地集中于这个单一空间。其他区域的每一次克制决策,最终成就了这间酒吧成为联排别墅(terrace)情感层面的核心。

厨房和餐厅延续了住宅静谧而考究的设计语言。奶油色石材饰面、温暖的木质橱柜与黄铜装饰,在保持优雅的同时摒弃了繁琐感,完美呼应了业主希望空间服务于日常家庭生活而非仅用于彰显门面的初衷。

楼上的书房则提供了对业主兴趣更为个性化的表达。设计师没有用定制的细木工制品填满空间,而是精心编辑并重新安置了男主人现有的书籍和收藏。皮质躺椅奠定了空间的基调,红色 Verner Panton Flowerpot 灯饰带来一抹亮色,宽敞的架子在书籍之间陈列珍贵物件,赋予房间如同精心组装的私人图书馆般的风貌。

主卧则展现出截然不同的氛围。节制的亚麻织物、柔和的中性色调与极简装饰共同创造了一处宁静绿洲,相邻的浴室则自信地展示着卡拉卡塔白大理石的独特纹理,让周围的 cabinetry 静谧地退居幕后。

整个项目期间,最大的挑战在于抵御那种想要做得更多的冲动。

Goh 说:“面对4,500平方英尺的空间和充沛的材质清单,任何设计工作室都极易陷入‘做得更多’的怪圈。真正的挑战在于坚守边界,对可能冲淡联排别墅(terrace)空间纯粹性的第二种大理石饰面或第三种金属材质说不。”

这种克制的处理手法最终赋予了 Entracte House 独特的气质。Ascend Design 用实际行动证明:编辑的力量与创造同样强大。通过识别哪些元素值得彻底改造,哪些仅需润色修饰,他们成功地将这座联排别墅(terrace)锻造成了一处既精致又贴合主人生活逻辑的Authentic 居所。

从设计到完工,整个项目耗时约六个月。对于彻底改造湿区和厨房而言,这已是极其高效的节奏。既然决定了不触动建筑主体,项目整体推进得相当顺畅。正如其戏剧般的名称一样,Entracte House 给人们留下了深刻的启示:即使是为特定篇章而设计的联排别墅(terrace)居所,只要每一处决策都遵循着目的性而非盈余,它便能留下长久的生命印记。
