Working Holiday工作室的设计师翻新了他们的中世纪住宅，打通厨房、增加天窗，用现代装饰让室内焕然一新。

这座名为 Zen Den 的房子位于伍德兰山，是洛杉矶郊外的一个社区，距离海滩约 20 分钟车程。

The owners of design firm Working Holiday Studio have renovated their own mid-century residence by opening up the kitchen, adding skylights and filling the interior with contemporary decor.
The house, called Zen Den, is located in Woodland Hills, a suburban community in Los Angeles that lies about 20 minutes by car from the beach.

Carlos Naude和Whitney Brown是一对夫妇，也是Working Holiday工作室旗下室内设计板块Working Holiday Spaces的负责人，他们去年在新冠大流行期间购买了这栋 上世纪60 年代的牧场小屋。

两人有一个蹒跚学步的儿子，他们以前住在市中心，房子过于窄小，现在需要更多的空间，这栋住宅满足了很多条件，但仍需要翻新。

Carlos Naude and Whitney Brown – the couple behind Working Holiday Studio and its companion interior design practice, Working Holiday Spaces – purchased the 1960s, ranch-style house last year during the coronavirus pandemic.
The duo, who have a toddler son, formerly lived in a compact urban residence and desired more space. The house checked many boxes, yet it was in need of a major overhaul.

这对夫妇说：“我们希望重现住宅原有的辉煌，同时进行重新构想，让它符合现代生活。”他们担任该项目的总承包商，并采纳了来自Goodboy Develops 的朋友 Zach Leigh 的意见。

建筑外立面的灰泥覆层得到了修复和重新粉刷。两人还翻新了屋顶，装了新窗户和露台门。

"We wanted to restore the residence to its original glory while reimagining it for modern living," the couple said, noting that they also served as the project's general contractor, with input from their friend Zach Leigh at Goodboy Develops.
On the exterior, the home's stucco cladding was repaired and repainted. The duo also installed a new roof, along with new windows and patio doors.


Zen Den 同时也被设计为家具和产品的陈列室

在建筑内部，原有的单层四室的空间被打碎重新布局。地板、绝缘材料、管道和电气系统以及大部分石膏板都进行了升级。

两人为建筑加入了天窗，并对空间进行重新布局，比如特意拆除厨房和餐厅之间的墙。

设计师说：“我们打开了厨房空间，这样就可以欣赏到风景，在整个房子里增设的天窗带来更多的光线，而两个浴室彻底地进行了改造翻新。”

室内饰面和装饰的灵感取自日本、斯堪的纳维亚和墨西哥的设计风格。这座住宅同时也是陈列室。

Inside, the single-storey, four-bedroom home was gutted. Upgrades were made to the floors, insulation, plumbing and electrical systems, and a significant portion of the drywall.
The team added skylights and reconfigured certain areas of the house. In particular, a wall between the kitchen and the dining room was removed.
"We opened up the kitchen so you could take in the views, added skylights throughout the house to bring in more light, and completely reconfigured and renovated both bathrooms," the designers said.
For the finishes and decor, the duo took inspiration from Japanese, Scandinavian and Mexican design styles. The home is meant to double as a showroom.


客厅里有一把 Noom 品牌的白色椅子

“我们与设计师和品牌合作，在家里展示他们的产品。”设计师说，“我们正在筹备一个网店，让大家购买这些产品。”

客厅摆放着来自 Normann Copenhagen 的锈色天鹅绒沙发、来自 Hedge House 的圆柱腿圆形咖啡桌。图中的白色椅子来自Noom，一家位于乌克兰的新工作室。

"We worked with designers and brands to display their products in our home," the designers said. "We are in the process of creating an online shop where people can buy the products."
The living room is fitted with a rust-coloured, velvet sofa from Normann Copenhagen and a round coffee table with tube-shaped legs from Hedge House. A white accent chair is from Noom, a young studio in Ukraine.


早餐桌使用定制的水磨石

客厅边的用餐区域摆放着来自墨西哥品牌 Casa Quieta 的黑色大理石桌子，椅子也来自这个品牌。墙上装饰来自布鲁克林 RBW 的 Mori 吊坠系列。

在厨房里，设计师寻来了易维护的优质材料。预制橱柜来自丹麦公司Reform，石英台面来自Caesarstone。

The adjoining dining room has a black marble table from the Mexican brand Casa Quieta, which also supplied the chairs. Overhead is a Mori pendant from Brooklyn's RBW.
In the kitchen, the designers sought out premium materials that would be easy to maintain. The prefabricated cabinets are from the Danish company Reform, and the quartz countertops are from Caesarstone.


儿童双层床可随时拆卸重新组合

早餐角摆放了一张由加利福尼亚 Concrete Collaborative 的水磨石制成的桌子。 水磨石实际上是客用浴室翻新后的剩余材料。

桌子设有一个白橡木底座——与配套的长凳是同一种木材。整个住宅都铺了橡木地板。

A breakfast nook features a custom table made of terrazzo from California-based Concrete Collaborative. The terrazzo was actually leftover from a refurbishment of the guest bathroom.
The table has a white oak base – the same wood used to fabricate the surrounding bench. Oak also was used for the flooring throughout the home.


浴室安装绿色瓷砖

睡眠区域采用中性色调，配以舒适的装饰。设计师在儿童房，安装了一张 Oeuf 的双层木床，可以拆卸拼合成不同的形态。

浴室配有 Concretti 的水槽、Concrete Collaborative 的台面和 Fireclay 的瓷砖。灯具则来自Kuzco和科勒。

The sleeping areas feature neutral colours and cosy decor. In a kid's bedroom, the designers installed a wooden bunk bed from Oeuf that can be arranged in different configurations.
Bathrooms feature sinks from Concretti, countertops from Concrete Collaborative and ceramic tiles from Fireclay. Kuzco lighting and Kohler fixtures round out the selection.


户外客厅有一张大餐桌

得益于南加州宜人的气候，设计师希望也有户外生活的机会。后院摆放了一组Neighbor 的沙发，和 一张Zachary A 的矮桌，还有一张可容纳 12 人的定制餐桌。

Working Holiday Studio的其他项目还有Casa Mami，这是一座全白色的度假别墅，与加州约书亚树国家公园附近的沙漠环境形成鲜明对比。与 Zen Den 一样，这所房子中的产品也是可购买的，客人可以通过专门的网站购买陈列的装饰品。

Given Southern California's pleasant climate, the designers wanted to incorporate an opportunity for indoor-outdoor living. A rear patio is adorned with a sectional sofa from Neighbor and a chunky accent table from Zachary A, along with a custom dining set that seats up to 12.
Other projects by Working Holiday Studio include Casa Mami, an all-white holiday home that stands in stark contrast to its desert setting in California, near Joshua Tree National Park. Like Zen Den, the house is meant to be shoppable, with guests able to purchase the decor via a dedicated website.
