品味空间 Vol.09 | 时尚品牌创始人 Natalie De Banco 的疗愈之家
在美国东汉普顿的一片密林中，时尚品牌创始人 Natalie De Banco 的家安静地坐落其间。经过设计师 Helena Clunies-Ross 的重新梳理，这里不仅仅是日常起居的住所，更像是一处让人从繁忙中慢慢退回、重新安放自身的疗愈空间。
Set within a wooded landscape in East Hampton, the home of fashion designer Natalie De Banco sits quietly among the trees. Reworked by Helena Clunies-Ross, it is no longer simply a place for everyday living, but somewhere to gently step back from the pace of things and return to oneself.
疗愈：作为一种生活方式
Healing: A Way of Life
“一个以宁静为基调的私人疗愈居所。”这是 Natalie 对这次重建最初也是最清晰的期待。作为时尚品牌 Bronx Banco 的创始人，她长期处在高频运转与持续曝光之中。对她而言，家不只是关于舒适或美感，更是一处可以承接身心消耗、让人慢慢停下来，重新回到秩序与平衡的地方。
“A private wellness retreat rooted in calm.” This was Natalie’s clearest intention from the outset. As the founder of Bronx and Banco, she operates within a rhythm of constant visibility and momentum. For her, home is not only about comfort or beauty, but a place that can hold physical and emotional depletion—a place to slow down, regain a sense of order, and return to balance.

Natalie 看中的这栋房子并不张扬，带着岁月留下的痕迹，也并非什么知名建筑。但它有一种自然的吸引力——来自那棵树。她回忆道：“那天正好是我的生日，当我看到门前那棵盛开的粉色樱花时，就知道，是这里了。”
The house Natalie was drawn to was not particularly striking. It carried traces of time and was far from a notable piece of architecture. Yet it held a quiet pull—because of a tree. She recalls, “It was my birthday, and when I saw the pink cherry blossom in front of the house in full bloom, I knew—this was it.”
约 3,500 平方英尺的扩建，以大面积玻璃、天然材料与层层递进的肌理，将建筑轻轻向外打开，也让一种更安静、被包裹的生活感在其中缓缓生长。对 Natalie 来说，这样的空间让日常变得不再那么紧绷。翻新的户外泳池，与带有东南亚气息的定制佛像雕塑，让整体在沉静之中，隐约多出一层柔和的异地感，也将她过往在巴厘岛的停留与创作，自然地带回到日常之中。
An approximately 3,500-square-foot expansion introduces large areas of glazing, natural materials, and layered textures that gently open the house to its surroundings, allowing a quieter, more enveloped way of living to take shape. For Natalie, such a space softens the tension of everyday life.A refurbished outdoor pool, together with a custom Buddha sculpture with a subtle Southeast Asian sensibility, adds a soft, distant note to the overall calm—bringing traces of her time and creative life in Bali quietly back into the everyday.

开放式的格局是为了让待客变得轻松自然。整体空间去掉了传统的吊顶，让原本被功能填满的界面也随之打开，尖顶窗得以完整呈现。设计师 Helena 说：“我们希望把花园里的风景带进室内，让它随着季节慢慢变化，成为生活的一部分。”
The open-plan layout makes hosting feel easy and natural. In the central space, the upper cabinets were removed, allowing the surfaces once filled with function to ease open, and the gabled window to be fully revealed. As Helena shared, “We wanted to bring the trees from the garden into the interior, letting them change with the seasons and become part of everyday life.”
空间在气质上延续了 Natalie 在巴厘岛的生活经验。正如她所说：“我希望它是特别的，让人感觉不在汉普顿。”这种感受来自更具体的选择——天然材料、充足的自然光，以及带有节奏的木质细节。色调保持克制。棕色与米色构成基底，黑色与墨绿穿插其间，与温润木材、手工饰面与精选物件相呼应，形成一种稳定而沉静的氛围。“它让人放松，”Natalie 说，“没有过于明亮的颜色，一切都更安静。”
The atmosphere draws from her time in Bali. As she puts it, “I wanted something unique, a place where you don’t feel like you’re in the Hamptons.” This feeling comes through in specific choices—natural materials, generous daylight, and rhythmic timber details.The palette is restrained. Browns and beiges form the base, with black and deep green woven throughout, echoing warm wood, handcrafted finishes, and carefully selected antiques to create a calm, grounded atmosphere. “It’s very soothing,” she says. “Nothing too bright—everything just feels more relaxed.”There’s no staged sense of “retreat,” yet a slower rhythm quietly emerges.
Calma:从容的平静
“Calma”as a Philosophy
Natalie 是在社媒平台 Instagram 上发现 Helena Clunies-Ross Design 的，“她的审美和我非常接近，我当时就觉得，这会是一种很顺畅的合作。”受到美术与艺术史背景的影响，Helena 的设计方法并不依赖装饰的叠加。她更关注比例、自然光与材料之间的关系，在空间中形成一种稳定而清晰的秩序。这种方式被她称为“Calma”——与其说是一种风格，不如说是一种让空间回到本质的态度。
Natalie discovered Helena Clunies-Ross Design on Instagram. “Her aesthetic is very close to mine—I felt right away that it would be a smooth collaboration.”Influenced by her background in fine art and art history, Helena Clunies-Ross’s approach does not rely on decorative layering. Instead, she focuses on how proportion, natural light, and materials come together to form a clear and balanced spatial order. She describes this way of working as “Calma”—less a style than an attitude of returning space to its essence.

主卧同样保持克制：柔和的色调、通高窗面与滑动隔断共同构成一个安静的睡眠环境。定制的大理石浴缸置于床侧，可通过另一道滑动墙体分隔，也可保持开放。Natalie 说“当我醒来看见浴缸时，会觉得自己仿佛回到了巴厘岛。”
The primary bedroom follows the same restrained approach: soft tones, full-height windows, and sliding partitions come together to create a quiet sleeping environment. A custom marble bathtub sits beside the bed, able to be separated by a sliding wall or left open. “When I wake up and see the bathtub, it feels like I’m back in Bali,” Natalie says.

第二间卧室在空间关系上更向上展开。床成为视觉的中心，也与挑高的屋顶形成呼应。由于屋顶产生的视觉感官，设计没有采用传统的四柱形式，而是将结构轻轻抬高，并以垂落的亚麻薄纱来延续垂直的感受。围绕床的细节保持着克制的层次：来自不同来源的织物与木作，在色调与肌理上彼此协调，让空间在安静中有了细微的变化。
The second bedroom opens upward in its spatial composition. The bed becomes the visual anchor, echoing the height of the pitched ceiling. Rather than using a traditional four-poster, the design responds to the roof’s geometry by subtly elevating the structure, with soft linen drapery falling around it to extend the vertical sense.Details around the bed remain restrained and layered: textiles and wood elements from different sources are brought together in tone and texture, allowing subtle variations to emerge within a calm atmosphere.
庇护与灵感之间
Refuge and Inspiration
Natalie 在巴厘岛及东南亚的旅行经验，为这座住宅带来了很深的感知层次。尤其在下层空间，设计没有将"疗愈"作为附属功能来处理，而是将其纳入日常居住经验之中。健身房、水疗中心、桑拿房、冥想室、影院与地下酒吧、风格吧台被依次串联起来，在这里，健康疗愈的体验缓慢开展，“自我恢复”不只作为一个概念，而是真正作为日常生活的一部分。
Natalie’s travels in Bali and across Southeast Asia bring an additional layer of sensory depth to the home. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the lower level, where wellness is not treated as an add-on, but integrated into everyday life.The gym, spa, sauna, meditation room, cinema, and speakeasy-style bar are arranged in sequence, allowing the experience to unfold gradually. Here, restoration is no longer an abstract idea, but something lived through daily rhythm.
再生木材与天然材料的使用，让这一层空间依旧保持与整体一致的气质：温暖、稳定，带有某种经由时间沉淀而来的真实感。东方气息与现代性的精致并非被刻意拼接，而是在日常的节奏、身体的感受与空间的层次之中，慢慢汇合。
The use of reclaimed timber and natural materials keeps this level aligned with the rest of the house—warm, grounded, and marked by a sense of time.Eastern sensibilities and modern refinement are not deliberately juxtaposed, but instead come together slowly through daily rituals, bodily perception, and spatial layering.
这座住宅最打动人的地方，并不在于某个过于醒目的雕塑或构造，而在于它始终尝试着让人与周边环境建立更深的联系——在自然中获得沉浸感，同时被理性而克制的建筑框架轻轻托住。于是，空间最终呈现出一种更安静、更有意识的生活秩序，在庇护与灵感之间缓缓流动。
What is most compelling about this residence lies not in any singular sculptural gesture or expressive form, but in its continuous attempt to deepen the relationship between inhabitant and environment——to feel immersed in nature, while being gently held within a rational and restrained architectural framework.What ultimately emerges is a quieter, more conscious order of living.The house is not merely a space that contains life, but one that holds it—maintaining a quiet and steady balance between refuge and inspiration.
