John Jacob新作 | 追求和谐高于一切

John Jacob是一位来自南非开普敦的室内设计师，他于2005年成立了自己的室内设计工作室 John JacobInteriors。对他来说，室内需要有叙事性，多层意义共同创造的不仅是一个有凝聚力的生活环境，而且是一种感官体验。John的设计过程是一丝不苟的，没有任何细节被忽略，无论这意味着重新设计结构布局，彻底检修装饰作品，最终目标始终不变：追求和谐高于一切。

John Jacob is an interior designer from Cape Town, South Africa. He founded his own interior design studio, John Jacob Interiors, in 2005. For him, the interior needs to be narrative, with multiple layers of meaning working together to create not only a cohesive living environment, but also a sensory experience. John's design process is meticulous, and no detail is neglected, whether that means redesigning the structure, overhauling the decor, and the ultimate goal remains the same: harmony above all else.

Sea Point

安静沉稳的中世纪杰作

John Jacob将位于开普敦一座20世纪50年代的公寓改造成一个安静沉稳的中世纪现代中世纪现代杰作。室内需要有叙事性，多层意义一起工作，不仅创造一个有凝聚力的生活环境，而且也是一种感官体验。在这个空间中，定制设计的细木工从地板延伸到天花板，创造了体量感。设计中的对比对于创造深度和兴奋感至关重要。因此，即使是一个苍白的空间，不同的方面也需要相互作用，以产生视觉上的兴奋感。

John Jacob has transformed a 1950s Cape Town apartment into a quiet, sedate masterpiece of medieval modernity. The interior needs to be narrative, with multiple layers of meaning working together to create not only a cohesive living environment, but also a sensory experience. In this space, custom-designed joinery extends from floor to ceiling, creating a sense of volume. Contrast in design is critical to creating depth and excitement. Thus, even in a pale space, different aspects need to interact in order to create a sense of visual excitement.

整个厨房都是包覆的，从墙到墙，从地板到天花板都是金属丝刷的，四分之一切的橡木饰面是黑色的，所以人们刚进入这个空间的时候是非常黑暗和封闭的。卧室的天花板覆以四分之一切橡木饰面，将房间变成一个大胆、黑暗和强烈的空间。熏制的灰色橡木天花板使空间柔和温暖，但不暗。对比自然的色调和种植总是有效的。隐藏的LED细节使这个房间 变得更明亮温暖。空间里所有的织物纹理都有一种世纪中期的美妙感觉。浴室是卧室的延伸，看起来就像一个房间而不是两个。

The kitchen is clad from wall to wall, from floor to ceiling with wire brush, and all the oak finishes are black, so it is very dark and closed when people first enter this space. The bedroom's ceiling is clad in a quarter of all oak finishes, turning the room into a bold, dark and intense space. The smoked grey oak ceiling makes the space soft and warm, but not dark. Contrasting natural tones and planting is always effective. Hidden LED details make the room brighter and warmer. All the fabric textures in the space have a nice mid-century feel. The bathroom is an extension of the bedroom and looks like one room instead of two.

在这个空间中，凝聚力创造了一种美妙的和谐与宁静，这是John Jacob 所喜欢的。奇妙的空间不是通过物体来实现的。它们的创建注重定制的建筑细节和比例。总体来说，这是一个明亮而通风的空间。John Jacob的审美方法是整体的，从空间的结构和定制家具到最后一个垫子的装饰。

In this space, cohesion creates a wonderful harmony and tranquility, which is what John Jacob likes. Wonderful space is not realized by objects. Their creation focuses on bespoke architectural detail and proportion. In general, it is a bright and airy space. John Jacob's aesthetic approach is holistic, from the structure of the space and custom furniture to the decoration of the final mat.
