这个复式公寓位于一个两层的折叠式顶层公寓内，拥有令人惊叹的270度视野，它建立了一系列的材料层，围绕一个j形平面展开，并在它们之间创建空间。
Situated within a two-story mansard penthouse with stunning 270-degree views, this duplex apartment establishes a series of material layers that unfold around a J-shaped plan and create spaces between them.
连接两层的是一个由氧化钢和玻璃制成的雕塑楼梯，从下面的照明玻璃平台向上照亮。楼梯，以及主要的生活和睡眠区域，位于抛光的石膏周边和温暖的木镶板核心之间。
Connecting the two floors is a sculptural stair fabricated from oxidized steel and glass, up-lit from an illuminated glass platform below. The stair, along with primary living and sleeping areas, resides between a polished plaster perimeter and a warm, millwork paneled core.
弧形外墙承认了装饰建筑的传统折叠式几何结构，但重新诠释了它。灰泥墙，详细描述为一个3英寸厚的外壳，从结构混凝土柱外暴露出来，并从窗户内拉出，以减轻其视觉外观。
Curved exterior walls acknowledge the traditional mansard geometry of the ornamental building but re-interpt it. The plaster walls, detailed as a 3” thick shell, are revealed away from the structural concrete columns and are pulled inboard from the windows to lighten its appearance visually.
抛光表面的反射特性间接照亮空间，并在居住者和周围环境之间提供不断变化的关系。在白天，策略性的照明策略有助于控制窗户的眩光，而在晚上，弯曲的墙壁散发出柔和、温暖的光线。
The reflective qualities of the polished surface indirectly illuminate the spaces and provide an ever-changing relationship between the occupants and their immediate surroundings. A strategic lighting strategy helps manage glare from the windows during the day, and at night, radiates the curved walls with soft, warm light.
在内侧，灰色漆面板和木制品核心定义了厨房、浴室和其他服务室。在开口和穿透处，如入口、厨房和走廊的门槛，额外的层被揭开，包括平切胡桃木氧化钢、涂灰泥和装饰瓷砖。
On the inboard side, gray lacquered panels and a millwork core define the kitchen, bathrooms, and other service rooms. At openings and penetrations through it, such as the entry, the kitchen, and thresholds along the corridor, additional layers are unveiled including flat-cut walnut oxidized steel, painted plaster, and decorative tile.
