That restraint translated into a warm, layered palette of off-whites, natural textures, and European oak flooring rather than stark con- temporary finishes. Custom-designed lighting became a defining fea- ture throughout the home, particularly in the dramatic entry where oversized fixtures, scaled specifically for the architecture, create the feeling of stepping into a luxury boutique hotel. The kitchen became another focal point. Brophy and Mozayeni intro- duced a custom iron-and-glass opening connecting the kitchen and dining room, creating a stronger architectural flow while enhancing the home’s entertaining capabilities. Minimal upper cabinetry, floor- to-ceiling storage solutions, and integrated Miele appliances allowed the space to feel highly functional while maintaining a clean and timeless aesthetic. “There’s so much noise right now with Pinterest and Instagram,” Brophy says. “Everyone’s trying so hard. I think confidence in design comes from not trying to show off.” That philosophy also informed the preservation of several original ele- ments within the home. Existing stonework, doors, and select architec- tural details were refinished rather than replaced, giving the property a sense of permanence and authenticity. In one standout space, Brophy transformed a traditional library by color-drenching the room in a deep moody tone, creating a dramatic yet sophisticated retreat. 这种克制转化为温暖而层次丰富的色彩与材质:柔和的米 白、天然肌理,以及欧洲橡木地板,取代了冷峻的当代饰面。 定制灯具成为贯穿全屋的标志性元素,尤其在极具戏剧性 的入口空间中,特别依据建筑尺度打造的超大灯具,营造出 步入奢华精品酒店般的感受。 厨房则成为另一处焦点。Brophy 与 Mozayeni 引入了一处 定制铁艺与玻璃开口,将厨房与餐厅连接起来,在强化建筑 动线的同时,也提升了住宅的待客功能。极简的上柜设计、 从地面延伸至天花的储物方案,以及一体化 Miele 电器,让 空间在高度实用的同时,依然保持干净而隽永的美感。 “现在 Pinterest 和 Instagram 上有太多噪音,”Brophy 说。 “每个人都太努力想要表现。我认为,设计中的自信来自 于不刻意炫耀。” 这一理念也影响了她对住宅中若干原有元素的保留。现有 石材、门,以及部分建筑细节并未被替换,而是经过重新修 整与再处理,从而赋予物业一种持久性与真实感。在其中一 处令人印象深刻的空间里,Brophy 将一间传统书房以深 邃而富有情绪的色调进行整体包覆,打造出一个既戏剧化 又精致的静谧居所。 83 BALLIET + WANG LUXURY LIVING
