DESIGN CONCEPT

在這個數字信息時代，我們已經習慣於通過簡單的手指滑動或滑鼠滾動了解新聞。大多的文章和圖像都沒辦法引起人們的注意。那麼今天，我很高興向您介紹Nicholas Schuybroek的MK House，這是一個極簡主義的傑作，肯定會引起您的注意。

In this digital age, we』ve all grown accustomed to digesting news, social media and even our daily dose of design with a simple swipe of the finger or a scroll of the mouse. We skim through articles, glaze over images but often, nothing particularly grabs our attention. Well today, it』s my pleasure to present to you MK House by Nicolas Schuybroek, a minimalist masterpiece that is sure to captivate your attention. So I invite you take a moment, scroll slowly and take it all in.

MK項目是聯排別墅，位於比利時安特衛普的歷史中心。建築師Nicolas Schuybroek和他的團隊被賦予了一個令人羨慕的任務，整修房屋，為巴黎和安特衛普設計一個創意空間。由以前的黑暗和不合邏輯轉變為一個充滿自然光的居所。

MK house is a recently renovated heritage-listed townhouse located in the historic centre of Antwerp. Brussels-based architect Nicolas Schuybroek and his team were given the enviable task of refurbishing the house for a notable fashion creative who divides his time between Paris and Antwerp. The formerly dark and illogical space has been transformed into a light-filled 12-room residence that re-imagines the circulation, volumes and connections to achieve more natural light.

以謹慎的設計理念為基礎。客廳粉刷的牆壁、暴露的木樑、人字紋木地板、白色大理石和黑色裝置的電視背景牆。使用豐富的材料、木材的原始紋理和中世紀傢具打造令人印象深刻的家居環境。廚房櫥櫃和長凳由石頭製成，浴室同樣使用大理石相互呼應。

Inside the experience is almost religious. Monastic whitewashed walls are the backdrop to exposed wooden beams, chevron timber floors, white marble and black fixtures. The restricted but rich material palette is lifted by the raw textures of wood and an impressive collection of curated mid-century furniture pieces. Impressively, the kitchen cabinetry and bench are made from stone and feels as though they were carved from a single block. The bathroom is similarly grounded and luxurious with the bath, shower and walls encased with marble.

如果你不知道Nicolas Schuybroek，你可以在這裡了解他。不僅被評為世界前100名室內設計師之一，而且他的設計方式令人欽佩，「具有細節感的工藝方式」，同時保留了溫暖「。

If you haven』t come across the absolute gun Nicolas Schuybroek, you can acquaint yourself with him here, here and here. We are clearly fans and for good reason. Not only has he been named as one of the world』s top 100 interior designers by French Architectural Digest (twice!), but his approach to design is admirable and 「characterised by an acute sense of detail, craftsmanship and intuition, while retaining a feeling of warmth.」

這種溫暖的感覺通過MK House散發出來，突出了白色，木材和黑色的專業平衡調色板。據Schuybroek介紹，他們的目標是「創造一個永恆，溫暖，簡約，優雅的房子，以滿足客戶的需求。」在這個過程中，他們重新發明了一種簡約主義「，比例、精緻的內飾細節和材料一樣重要。「

This sense of warmth radiates through MK House and highlights the expertly balanced palette of white, timber and black. According to Schuybroek, their goal was to 「create a timeless, warm, minimalist, elegant house in tune with its past and the client』s needs.」 In the process, they』ve reinvented a certain type of minimalism 「where the qualities of the light, volumes and proportions [are] as important as the refined interior details and materials.」 Truly exceptional.
