对于设计师来说，没有什么比一张空白的画布更令人兴奋的了。纽约SoHo区一栋战前建筑中，有一间2800平方英尺的阁楼，这给予了设计工作室Nicholas Obeid更好的，从零开始的机会。那里有16英尺高的天花板、高耸的窗户和白色的墙壁。

For designers, there's nothing more exciting than a blank canvas. A 2,800-square-foot loft in a prewar building in New York's SoHo district gives design studio Nicholas Obeid a better chance of starting from scratch. There were 16-foot ceilings, towering Windows and white walls.

对于设计工作室而言，这个项目的最大挑战在于，住宅的委托人士一对从事金融工作的夫妇，所以要确保这套公寓像一个家，而不是一个仓库或家具陈列室。工作室的第一个解决方案，是用适当比例的部件来调节大的组合厨房、起居和用餐空间。

The biggest challenge for the design studio was that the house was commissioned by a couple working in finance, so making sure the apartment felt like a home rather than a warehouse or furniture showroom. The studio's first solution was to adjust the large modular kitchen, living and dining Spaces with the right proportion of components.

超大的家具可以营造出一种更私密的尺度。在同一个房间里，Obeid用地毯划分了不同的座位区，以填充空间，并创建不同的休息室。同样的策略也适用于餐厅空间，餐厅设有戏剧性的落地窗，定制黑橡木餐桌以其巨大的尺寸固定了房间，给人一种有机的、柔软的、弯曲的感觉。

Oversized furniture can create a more intimate dimension. In the same room, Obeid divided the seating areas with carpeting to fill the space and create different lounges. The same strategy applies to the dining room space, which features dramatic floor-to-ceiling Windows and a custom black oak dining table that anchors the room with its massive dimensions and gives it an organic, soft, curving feel.
