本次选取的案例是位于墨尔本的一所爱德华时代的私宅。
由于埃尔斯滕威克住宅的复兴，墨尔本Mim Design设计团队有机会对爱德华时代的历史建筑进行改造。
The revival of an Elsternwick residence has allowed Melbourne practice Mim Design to create a stunning internal transformation of a historic Edwardian home.
DRF住宅的户主是一个四口之家，但房子很暗，空间狭小，无法满足使用需求。户主想房子变成一个现代城市的避难所，以表达对爱德华时代建筑风格的敬意。
The owners of DRF Residence, a young family of four, wanted to turn their home, which was dark with cramped unusable spaces, into a modern sanctuary that paid homage to the era’s architectural styling.
餐厅的天花板提高后与房子的前端连接起来，于是更多的阳光可以射入室内。阳光穿过餐厅和卧室，增加视觉面积，让房间更加地通透、舒适。
Raising the ceiling at the rear, to marry the height with the front of the house, bought in extra light, connected the dining and living spaces and created a more open and visually larger area.
厨房配备了高质量的Sub-Zero 和 Wolf产品，这补充了美丽的软灰色和乳白色底色的大理石超白台式，还有双包装细木工制品的操作台和白油橡木地板。
The kitchen has been fitted with high quality Sub-Zero and Wolf products, integral to the client’s passion for entertaining and desire for a contemporary finish. The products complement the beautiful soft grey and milky undertones of the marble super white benchtops, the paneling of the 2-pac joinery and the white-oiled oak floors.
材料的层次感、柔和的灰色和暗黑风格的灰白色为室内增添了永恒的光彩，体现了爱德华时代的建筑风格。
The layering of materials, a soft palette of greys and off whites with accents of black added a timeless brilliance to the interior, respecting the Edwardian architecture.
浴室配有新的黑色钢窗框和门、定制的灯具、雕塑壁炉和巴斯特+潘趣手柄，所有这些都一起为家里带来了“老式魅力”和柔和。
The bathrooms featured new black steel window frames and doors, custom light fittings, a sculptural fireplace and Buster + Punch handles, all of which came together to introduce “old school glamour” and a softness into the home.
设计师精心挑选了房间的用品，可爱优雅的粉色毛绒椅，端庄有格调的墨绿色座椅，多彩绚烂的艺术摆件，鲜艳的颜色点缀在房间的黑白灰底色上，这样房间不那么单调。
Designers carefully selected the seats in the room, lovely and elegant pink plush chairs, and dignified dark green seats dotted on the black, white and gray background of the room, which made the room less monotonous.
Fanning说:“在家里完成繁重的装修后，我们受到了启发：应该让整个空间变得更加明亮，这样当你走进去的时候，感觉就像有一个重物从你的肩膀上卸下来一样。”
“Having been in the home when there were heavy finishes, we were inspired to lighten up the whole space, so that when you walked in it felt like a load was lifted from your shoulders,” said Fanning.
“这种设计意味着整个过程中有一种更加明亮的感觉。最好的是，客户现在喜欢住在那里——就像呼吸新鲜空气一样。”
“The design has meant there is a more illuminated feel throughout. The best thing is the clients love living there now – it’s like a breath of fresh air.”
