This Vancouver Island Home Blends Japanese and Scandinavian Influences
从砖块建造的加拿大乡村房屋中,这座占地10,000平方英尺的两层楼的房屋具有当代氛围,它适合其在不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚州的位置。设计师安德里亚·罗德曼(Andrea Rodman)开始设想该空间的内饰,包括其六间卧室和七间浴室,从三年的项目的第一天开始,甚至在建筑师斯科特·波斯诺(Scott Posno)和建筑商签署之前。
Thanks to the T-shape layout, two open courtyards and different wings invite the young family who lives here to enjoy a lifestyle that offers space for entertaining and privacy. One of the biggest challenges for罗德曼consisted of reconciling the homeowners’ tastes and design visions—one leaned toward a more classic aesthetic while the other favored a modern look. Both of them, however, dreamed of a cozy family home that would suit them for many years.
“The idea was having separation to the rooms but still maintaining an open feel, capturing traditional details without overpowering while also keeping the house minimalistic and understated from the inside to the outside,” explains Rodman. To achieve this aesthetic, she went with a white palette accented by oak tones, natural stone, and rattan, enabling the interiors to feel airy and connected to the outside. “Through this home, we wanted to capture the sophistication of mixing Scandinavian and Japanese design styles to find that unique balance,” says Rodman.
Sprawling and elegant, this minimal home features a timeless collection of furniture and lighting with pieces from design masters as well as Rodman’s new online boutique, Hem Interiors. In the main bedroom, the 1970s Etcetera lounge chair by Jan Ekselius is a statement piece. Curated with the help of art consultant Alexandra Schafer—founder of VELVENOIR based in Europe—artworks by David T. Alexander, Bobbie Burgers, Kristen Giorgi, Brooke Holm, and Sun Young Min, among others, also contribute to the sophisticated yet warm atmosphere.
