当一个家庭找到设计师Betsy Burnham，希望以一种尊重其经典遗产的方式重新设计他们在Montecito的度假屋时，在东海岸长大并在加州温暖的怀抱中定居的Burnham接受了这项工作。
When a family approached designer Betsy Burnham to reimagine their Montecito vacation home in a way that would honor its classic heritage, Burnham, who was raised on the East Coast but settled in the warmth of California’s embrace, was up for the job.
这座房子在过去的50年中一直受到前主人的喜爱，但它是黑暗的、过时的，而且需要结构性的干预。因此，在考虑任何色调或委托家具之前，Burnham和她的团队在一家建筑公司的咨询下开始重新配置空间。现有的天花板高度很难处理，所以他们在一楼安装了巨大的钢窗，让空间充满阳光，并采用巧妙的石膏拱门和细节，以增加特色和拉长高度的外观。
The home had been well-loved by the previous owners for some fifty years, but it was dark, outdated, and in need of structural intervention.So before any color palette was considered or piece of furniture commissioned, Burnham and her team got to work reconfiguring the space with consultation from an architecture firm.The existing ceiling heights were challenging to work with, so they installed massive steel windows on the ground floor to drench the space in sunlight and employed clever plaster arches and detailing throughout to add character and the appearance of elongated height.
客户在这个过程中非常投入。寻找方法为一个经典和梦幻般的家添加怪异和个性，而又不过度渲染，是这个家庭的主要目标之一。“我喜欢颜色和图案，但因为我们的目的是让这个家以最轻盈、最干净、最贴近海滩的方式给人以度假屋的感觉，所以我们选择了舒适的软垫和更多的单色风格，”设计师解释说。
The clients were very involved with the process.Finding ways to add quirk and personality to a classic and dreamy home without overdoing it was one of the family’s primary goals.“I love color and pattern, but [since] the intention was for this to feel like a vacation home in the lightest, cleanest, most beach-adjacent way, we went for comfortable upholstery and more monochrome styles,”the designer explains.
