一座位于加州洛杉矶的极简住宅Fortune House，由OWIU设计。OWIU是由Amanda Gunawan和Joel Wong共同创立的设计公司，他们创造了一种植根于亚洲传统的独特美学。他们在新加坡和印度尼西亚等多元化环境长大，并受到经常去日本旅行的影响，两人融合了各种东方文化的元素，创造出一种第三文化的美学。这个团队还包括来自香港的Jackson Chan和来自韩国的Michelle Kim，由于他们都共同强调亚洲文化中食物和公共聚会的中心地位，因此他们是一个天作之合。
Fortune House is a minimal residence located in Los Angeles, California, designed by OWIU. OWIU, a design firm co-founded by Amanda Gunawan and Joel Wong, has created a unique aesthetic rooted in their Asian heritage. Growing up in diverse communities such as Singapore and Indonesia, and influenced by frequent trips to Japan, the duo has blended elements from various Eastern cultures to create a third-culture aesthetic. The team, which also includes Jackson Chan from Hong Kong and Michelle Kim from Korea, was a natural fit as they all shared a common emphasis on the centrality of food and communal gathering in Asian cultures.
厨房是Fortune House设计中的一个焦点，一进门就能看到一个定制的岛和相邻的饭厅。一根12英寸的Parallam木梁横跨厨房和起居室之间的天花板，在不破坏空间流动的情况下形成了一个隔断。厨房被重新定位，以创造一个更开放的平面图，环绕式的台面和隐藏式的存储，使其看起来不那么杂乱。
The kitchen was made a focal point in the design of Fortune House, with a custom island and adjacent dining room visible upon entrance. A 12” Parallam wood beam runs across the ceiling between the kitchen and living room to suggest a partition without disrupting the flow between spaces. The kitchen has been reoriented to create a more open floor plan, with wrap-around countertops and hidden storage for a clutter-free look.
Chan和Kim都在家里工作，因此他们寻求一个中性的空间，以促进创造力和生产力。自然木元素的使用和柔和的米色调在工作空间中创造了温暖，而自然光提供了一个平静的氛围。多功能的设计理念是OWIU的一个持续的主题，因为他们自己的工作室就是从办公室过渡到了一个休闲的聚会空间。
Chan and Kim, who both work from home, sought a neutral space that promotes creativity and productivity. The use of natural wood elements and a soft off-beige palette creates warmth in the workspace, while natural light provides a calming atmosphere. The multi-functional design concept is a continuing theme for OWIU, as their own studio transitions from an office to a casual gathering space.
OWIU的目标是保留原结构的一些决定性元素，如弯曲的壁炉，它被更新而不是重新设计。Fortune House被设计为文化、工作和生活平衡以及美学和实用之间的对话。它反映了当代创意人不断发展的需求，他们寻求一个平衡生产力和心灵的空间。特别是厨房，激发了人们对旧传统的记忆，同时邀请居民创造新的传统。OWIU的设计将新旧结合起来，创造一个新的平衡。
OWIU aimed to keep some defining elements of the original structure, such as the curved fireplace, which was updated rather than redesigned. Fortune House was designed as a conversation between cultures, work and life balance, and aesthetic and utility. It reflects the evolving needs of contemporary creatives seeking a space that balances productivity and peace of mind. The kitchen, in particular, sparks memories of old traditions while inviting the inhabitants to create new ones. OWIU’s design marries the old and the new to create a new balance.
