Limdim House工作室翻修了越南的 Brown Box 公寓，增加了弯曲的墙壁、分层的飞檐和水磨石表面，旨在创造一个“平静”和“温和”的空间。

Limdim House工作室通过拆除墙壁重新组织了以前的“商业”两居室公寓，将其改造成一个名为 “Brown Box ”的宽敞一居室住宅。

Architecture firm Limdim House Studio has renovated the Brown Box apartment in Vietnam adding curving walls, tiered cornices and terrazzo surfaces that aim to create a "calm" and "gentle" space.
Limdim House Studio reorganised the previously "commercial" two-bedroom apartment by removing walls to convert it into a spacious one-bedroom home named Brown Box.

“这个想法来自房子主人布朗女士的名字，意为棕色。”工作室创始人 Tran Ngo Chi Mai 说，“由于她也喜欢棕色，我们的想法是创造一个像这种颜色本身一样温和和平静的生活空间。”

“我们处理空间的目的是创造一种新的色彩，一种新的气息，以摆脱商业公寓的无聊气息。”

"The idea comes from the byname of the owner of the house, Ms Brown," studio founder Tran Ngo Chi Mai told Dezeen. "Since she also loves the colour brown, our idea was to create a living space as gentle and calm as this colour itself."
"[We] processed the space with the aim of creating a new colour, a new breath to get rid of the boredom in commercial apartments."

工作室拆除了现有的墙壁，并在其位置添加了弯曲的隔墙，让空间更加开敞。

阶梯式飞檐包围着弯曲的墙壁，作为现代风格的皇冠造型，消除了开放式厨房餐厅角落的粗糙感。

As part of the opening up of the home, the studio removed existing walls and added curving partition walls in their place.
The curved walls were surrounded by stepped cornices as a modern take on crown mouldings that remove the harshness of corners in the open-plan kitchen diner.

工作室自始至终使用自然色调，浅棕色、米色和木色营造出宁静而精致的外观。

“我们选择棕色和米色周围的色调。”Chi Mai 解释道。，“在使用这种色调进行设计时，我们希望公寓安静、朴素且仍然精致。”

The studio used a natural colour palette throughout, employing light browns, beige and wood tones to create a peaceful yet sophisticated look.
"We choose tones around brown and beige," explained Chi Mai. "when designing with this colour tone, we want the apartment to be peaceful, plain and still full of sophistication."

厨房餐厅中心的圆形岛台覆盖着浅色水磨石，为单墙厨房提供额外的柜台空间。

一个拱形的壁龛构成了一个水槽、水磨石台面和一排灰褐色的头顶橱柜，这些橱柜排列成半圆形，呼应壁龛形态。

水磨石板延伸到公寓的地板和由落地的千层木橱柜以及木制家具划分的起居空间。

起居区上方的天花板采用弧形设计，与拱形墙融为一体，在视觉上将起居区与厨房餐厅隔开。

A rounded island at the centre of the kitchen diner was clad in pale terrazzo to provide additional counter space in the one-wall kitchen.
An arched niche frames a sink, terrazzo countertops and a row of taupe brown overhead cabinetry which was arranged in a semicircle to fit within the alcove.
Terrazzo slabs extend across the floors of the apartment and to the living space which is zoned by floor-to-ceiling Melaleuca wood cabinetry and wooden furnishings.
The ceiling above the living area has a curved design and merges into an arched wall that visually separates the living area from the kitchen diner.

“我们从厨房岛一直使用水磨石，就像一条小溪从地板上流下来，到处蔓延。”Chi Mai 说。

“选择这种材料让房子的颜色变得轻盈和舒缓。”

“物理上，水磨石硬度好，光泽度刚刚好，散热比木地板多，所以给人一种凉爽的感觉，尤其是在热带地区。”

"We use terrazzo all the way from the kitchen island, like a stream going down the floor and spreading everywhere," said Chi Mai.
"Choosing this type of material helps the colour in the house to become light and soothing."
"Physically, Terrazzo has good hardness, just enough gloss, and more heat dissipation than wooden floors, so it creates a cool feeling, especially in tropical areas."

拱形门口从开放式起居区通向卧室空间。它的墙壁上覆盖着灰色的石膏状饰面，提供了质感。

卧室旁边的套间配有一个独立的水磨石浴缸，位于可以看到卧室的大圆形窗户下方。

An arched doorway leads from the open-plan living area to the bedroom space. Its walls were covered in a grey plaster-like finish providing a textural quality.
An en-suite next to the bedroom was fitted with a free-standing terrazzo bathtub below a large circular window that looks into the bedroom.

“在我们看来，设计空间时最重要的是创造一种精致的、尤其是给业主带来舒适的全新感觉。”Chi Mai 说。
“如果业主在辛苦工作后回来，他们并不享受这个空间的生活，这个空间将永远只是一个提供吃饭、睡觉等基本需求的地方，这将是我们在这个项目中的失败。”

"The important thing when designing a space, in our opinion, is to create a new, sophisticated and especially to bring comfortable feeling to the owner," said Chi Mai.
"If the owners come back after a hard days work, they don't enjoy the life in this space, this space will forever be just a place to provide basic needs like eating, sleeping and that will be our failure in this project."
