The Difference from Modern Classics: It's a Home, Not a Stage

A comfortable rather than grand French light luxury residence. Modern classic emphasizes axes, symmetry, and the grandeur of stone, aiming for impressiveness; here, although symmetrical, the scale is residential, materials are mainly wood and fabric, sofas have deep and soft seating, and lighting is low and warm. The purpose of the space is for staying, not for reception. Moldings and fireplaces provide elegance, not majesty. Avoid: using large areas of stone and the grandeur of a high-ceilinged foyer, arranging the layout as a strict central axis ceremony, using towering furniture and chandeliers, making the space have a display and reception character.

一個舒適而非隆重的法式輕奢住宅。現代古典講究軸線、對稱與石材的排場,目的是氣派;這裡雖然也對稱,但尺度是住家的、材料以木與布為主、沙發的坐感深而軟、燈光是低的暖的。空間的目的是待著而不是接待。線板與壁爐提供的是氣質而不是威嚴。避免:使用大面積石材與挑高門廳的排場、把配置做成嚴格的中軸儀典、使用高聳的家具與吊燈、讓空間帶有展示與接待的性格。
