Our clients wanted to bring part of their origins to Madrid. Plus, they are avid travellers—she is Mexican and he Galician—so they yearned to bring a family influence to their new home. This project is the outcome of a quest to find colour in Madrid, a characteristic marked by the owners’ journeys and origins.

我们的客户希望将他们的部分血统带到马德里。此外，他们是狂热的旅行者，她是墨西哥人，他是加利西亚人，所以他们渴望给新家带来家庭影响。这个项目是在马德里寻找色彩的结果，这是一个以业主的旅程和起源为标志的特点。

We focused on vivid colours: bright yellows, greens, blues and reds, paired with materials like tiles, ceramics and fine wood. They are all cool materials in bright colours brought from distant, exotic locales. White tile combines with blue, red or yellow in different areas and is finished by edging to frame the different zones.

我们专注于鲜艳的颜色：明亮的黄色、绿色、蓝色和红色，搭配瓷砖、陶瓷和细木等材料。它们都是从遥远的异国他乡带来的色彩鲜艳的炫酷材料。白色瓷砖在不同区域与蓝色、红色或黄色相结合，并通过镶边形成不同区域的框架。

The entrance hall was designed with a wooden box separating two zones: the kitchendining room, inspired by Mexico, and the terraces and living room, inspired by Singapore. The latter was designed with tile in a very linear yellow and white surface which pops even more when the sunlight hits it.

入口大厅设计有一个分隔两个区域的木箱：厨房餐厅，灵感来自墨西哥，露台和客厅，灵感来自新加坡。后者的设计采用了非常线性的黄色和白色表面的瓷砖，当阳光照射时，瓷砖会更加突出。

In contrast, glazed green tiles were used in the kitchen, which echoes the upholstery of the same colour in the living room.

相比之下，厨房使用了釉面绿色瓷砖，与客厅相同颜色的室内装潢相呼应。

A large bookshelf running around the kitchen, dining room and living room area, where much of the time is spent, was also designed. This element is very important to the clients, as they hold all the objects they have collected on each of their journeys, in addition to all their books.

围绕厨房、餐厅和客厅区域的大型书架也被设计出来，这里是人们度过大部分时间的地方。这个元素对客户来说非常重要，因为他们除了所有的书之外，还保存着他们在每次旅行中收集的所有物品。

We wanted the private area to be cosy, so we suggested a cloud-grey carpet, which conveys calmness and evokes Galicia.

我们希望私人区域是舒适的，所以我们建议采用云灰色的地毯，它传达出平静，让人想起加利西亚。
