家是一个容器，承载着主人的记忆。我们可以把它打造的精致、华丽、充满仪式感；也可以沉稳、质朴、安静，这取决于主人对它的期待： Sue 是这个家的女主人，喜爱中古家具，慵懒、随性、是她对于新家的期待。

Home is a container carrying memory of host. We could create it to be exquisite, luxuriant and full of ceremony but steady, simple and quiet as well which all depends on owners expect. In this case, Sue is hostess of this house who loves Mid-Century Modern furniture. An indolent and loosening feeling is what her expect for the new house.

对于Sue的家，我们尝试着让设计隐形，不去刻意制作墙面造型，使用简单自然的材料做基础的打底，重点在于对于材料的颜色，纹理，细节及比例尺度的把控上面，要符合整体的基调，做到和谐自然。从外看就好似是它自己不断不断发展成形的一样。空间上打通了厨房和小卧室周围的墙，和客厅连为一体，并用一段隔墙做出玄关，视野上一阔一收，让公开和私密的尺度更加趋于合理，实用。

In this case, we attempt to hide trail of design by using simple and natural material, and no more shape modelling on the wall. We prefer to focus on matching the color of materials, as well as the texture, details and the scales. How to make all of them looking pretty and suit this house is important.   To make the space get better view and be more fully functional, we removed the wall around kitchen and guest room.  A partition wall was built to keep the basic privacy.

软装工作是设计中重要的一部分，也是最有趣味性的一个环节。我们需要从成百上千种商品里面选择最合适的（而不是最受欢迎最美的的）产品，来和这个家气质相符合，同时还要让家具与家具之间形成默契的对话，色彩之间的呼应，以及彼此材质的对比、突出与强调。

Soft decoration has been taken into account, which is also the most interesting part of work. We must choose the most suitable products from hundreds of thousands categories which is accord with house‘s temperament. Make sure that the deferent color and materials are matched appropriate.

我们选用了很多中古家具，比如Cassina Maralunga 沙发，Martinelli Luce Pipistrello 台灯，cherner椅，Carlo Scarpa Samo餐桌，Verpan Globe吊灯等等。这些家具现在看来也都没有过时，Sue说：我很喜欢它们的原因是觉得好的设计仿佛有种安静的力量，能对抗时间的流逝。

We selected many Mid-Century Modern furnitures such as Cassina Maralunga sofa, Martinelli Luce Pipistrello table lamp, cherner chair, Carlo Scarpa Samo dining table, Verpan Globe ceiling lamp and the like. It now appears that these furnitures never go out of fashion. "The reason I like them so much is that good design has a quiet power to against the time lapsing” said Sue.

对于整个空间来说，我们同样希望它有一种力量，能对抗时间的流逝，能包裹住主人的情绪，能创造珍贵回忆。在最后拍摄时跟Sue聊天，她说：“我真的很爱这个家，特别是每当晚上哄完孩子睡觉，一个人坐在客厅，点燃香薰，打开音乐，随意做些什么都感觉很舒服。” 所以，你看， 生活本应如此，请热爱它多一点。

For the whole space, we also hope it has the power that can resist passing time, hold owner's mood and create precious memories. At last time we chitchatted while photographing, ‘I love this home so much. It feels cozy when I sit on the sofa, light up the aromatherapy and turn on the music after putting the baby asleep at night’ said Sue. So, you see, this is what life should be. Please love it more.
