When we first moved in, we noticed when we would keep the door open, there would be neighbours popping in and going, oh my gosh.

剛搬進來的時候，我們注意到當我們把門開著的時候，會有鄰居突然闖進來，"哦，我的天哪"。

情態副詞

They would want to come in, so we'd immediately invite them over.

他們想進來，我們就會立即邀請他們過來。

程度副詞

And then we realised, why don't we just open this up to the public?

然後我們意識到，為什麼不向公眾開放呢？

It's both a private space of security and safety and everything a home should be.

它既是一個安全的私人空間，也是一個家應有的一切。

But it's also a kind of shared space on our own terms.

但這也是一種我們自己的共享空間。

我還是一名藝術家、教育家和 DJ。

I'm an arts consultant, writer and community facilitator.

我是一名藝術顧問、作家和社區促進者。

We're currently in our converted terrace.

It's also called Magenta House and we use the house as a space to share and hold events.

這棟房子也叫 Magenta House，我們把它作為分享和舉辦活動的空間。

We run micro-workshops, we have talks, we have reading sessions in the library.

我們在圖書館舉辦微型講習班、講座和讀書會。

We have communal meals, we have a street party with our neighbours, and most recently we also started the shop.

我們舉行集體聚餐，與鄰居們一起舉行街頭派對，最近我們還開起了商店。

We operate on the ground level of our house.

我們在自家房屋的底層開展業務。

We usually don't let people in upstairs so that we have that boundary.

我們通常不讓別人上樓，這樣就有了界限。

We really wanted a space where we could spend all of our time in the house and we could evolve the rooms and be a bit more multimodal.

我們真的很想要一個空間，在這裡我們可以把所有的時間都花在房子裡，我們可以發展房間，讓房間變得更加多姿多彩。

Walking into this house, the way that Adele McNabb, the architect, configured the space, it kind of felt like a space that how could you not share?

走進這棟房子，建築師阿黛爾-麥克納布（Adele McNabb）對空間的配置方式，讓人感覺這就是一個你怎能不分享的空間？

The house is in Redfern, Sydney, Australia, the inner city of Sydney.

房子位於澳洲雪梨的雷德芬，雪梨的內城。

We're city slickers, definitely, but what we find is even though we're in the heart of inner city, it feels like a mirage, like it's just very quiet here.

我們絕對是城裡人，但我們發現，儘管我們身處內城中心，但感覺就像海市蜃樓，這裡非常安靜。

The terrace here is part of a row of micro-terraces, so they're about three metres wide, which is pretty small for Sydney.

這裡的露臺是一排微型露臺的一部分，寬約三米，在雪梨算是很小的了。

The custom-made sculpture by Tanika Jealous was created especially for this house by the architect, and what's so funny is that when we moved into this space, the postman would actually start putting the letters in here, thinking it was a letterbox, and so we had a letterbox installed just right there to the left.

塔尼卡-妒忌（Tanika Jealous）定製的雕塑是建築師專門為這棟房子設計的，有趣的是，當我們搬進這個空間時，郵差居然開始把信放在這裡，以為這是一個信箱，所以我們就在左邊安裝了一個信箱。

We basically bicycle around the area to do chores, to see friends.

我們基本上都是騎自行車在附近轉悠，做做家務，看看朋友。

That's your delivery basket for things from the shop if someone makes an order.

如果有人下訂單，這就是您的送貨籃，用來裝商店裡的東西。

I'm very clumsy, so I ended up accidentally breaking this pot plant because I wasn't used to parking the bicycle so close.

我笨手笨腳的，結果不小心把盆栽弄壞了，因為我不習慣把自行車停得這麼近。

This door is matching the colour of the rest of the house, and it creates a beautiful breeze through the front of the house.

這扇門的顏色與房屋其他部分的顏色相匹配，它為房屋前部帶來了美麗的微風。

Yeah, it allows us to be able to be at the shop at the very end and see if somebody's coming in to check out the library.

是的，這樣我們就能在商店的最後看到是否有人來圖書館借書。

We're in the front library of the house, so just as you walk in.

我們在房子前面的圖書館，所以你一走進去就能看到。

When we first moved in here, the bookshelf wasn't here, and we had to figure out what were the size of the shelves according to the different sized books and magazines we had.

我們剛搬進來的時候，書架不在這裡，我們不得不根據不同大小的書和雜誌來確定書架的尺寸。

In curating these books, when Mason and I came together, we realised that we had a few of similar books, which meant that I knew that we were meant to be.

在策劃這些書籍的過程中，當梅森和我走到一起時，我們意識到我們有幾本相似的書，這意味著我知道我們註定要在一起。

We decided to paint the shelves pigeon grey, or I think it's called bone grey, but I say pigeon grey because it's just more fun to say it.

我們決定把書架刷成鴿子灰，我想應該叫骨灰，但我說鴿子灰是因為這樣說更有趣。

It actually made the books pop a little bit more than, say, painting it like a bookshelf white.

實際上，這比把書架刷成白色更能突出書本的特色。

We've clustered these into architecture, visual art, literature, poetry, and there's a lot of food culture books.

我們將這些書籍歸類為建築、視覺藝術、文學、詩歌，還有很多飲食文化類書籍。

We open up this library to the public most weekends, and it's a really wonderful way to soft launch guests into this room so that they can discover something new.

大多數週末，我們都會向公眾開放這個圖書館，這是一種非常好的方式，可以讓客人們進入這個房間，發現一些新的東西。

When we have guests over, I find that they usually sit down here, so it's really nice to have all these different height of seating areas to be able to really be comfortable and feel like you are at a home library and not so much like a school library, somewhere a little bit more formal.

當我們有客人來訪時，我發現他們通常會坐在這裡，所以有這些不同高度的座位區真的很不錯，能夠讓人真正感到舒適，感覺就像在家裡的圖書館，而不是像學校圖書館那樣，在一個稍微正式一點的地方。

Usually when we have guests over and they wanted to have a quiet phone call or some privacy, we just close off the curtain.

通常，當我們有客人來訪，他們想安靜地打電話或有一些私人空間時，我們就會把窗簾拉上。

So that gives us a bit of a divide in such a small house, it really works.

這樣，我們就能在這麼小的房子裡劃分出一些區域，真的很有效。

And then it also filters the light from the front here, so really kind of soft light and also doesn't kind of interfere with the screen light.

它還能過濾來自前方的光線，是以光線非常柔和，也不會干擾螢幕光線。

When I was a kid, I ran a pop-up library when I was at school, and the library is really an adult extension of that.

當我還是個孩子時，我在學校裡經營著一個彈出式圖書館，而這個圖書館實際上是它在成年後的延伸。

I grew up in the Philippines where we had a family bakery underneath my bedroom, and so we would always have people coming in and eating and serving, so I feel that creative hospitality is in my bloodline, and it's really wonderful to be able to actually open up this space for strangers or for friends.

我在菲律賓長大，在我的臥室下面有一家家庭麵包店，所以我們總是會有很多人進來用餐和提供服務，所以我覺得我的血脈裡就流淌著創造性的待客之道，能夠真正為陌生人或朋友開放這個空間真的很棒。

So as we come through, there's a curved archway that separates the front and the kitchen space.

是以，當我們穿過時，有一個弧形拱門將前廳和廚房空間隔開。

We've got an amazing spiral staircase which really helps to utilise the small area here.

我們有一個令人驚歎的螺旋樓梯，它確實有助於利用這裡狹小的空間。

We use the underneath the spiral staircase as a shoe rack and also a storage area for a trestle table that peeps out from beneath the back of the fridge.

我們把旋轉樓梯下面的地方用作鞋架，還用來存放從冰箱後面伸出來的木架桌。

Sometimes, yeah, Marion puts our bike helmets hanging here, but recently it's the hanging plants.

有時，馬裡恩會把我們的自行車頭盔掛在這裡，但最近是掛在植物上。

We're always thinking about new ways to put the hanging plants.

我們一直在想新的方法來擺放懸掛植物。

Staircase is this kind of like spiral drill that's reaching up to the top of the house.

樓梯就像螺旋鑽一樣，一直通到房子的頂部。

So as we go up, we've got an amazing skylight above us, kind of carved into the ceiling.

是以，當我們往上走時，我們頭頂上有一個神奇的天窗，就像雕刻在天花板上一樣。

Once you see it, it's sort of such a great sculptural feature to the house.

你一看到它，就會覺得它是這座房子的一大雕塑特色。

And when it rains and thunderstorms, it's really quite hypnotic to watch from down here.

下雨打雷的時候，從這裡看下去，真的很催人淚下。

You can see the rain and the thunders really clearly.

Issue two of our magazine is all about finding ways to slow down in the city.

第二期雜誌的主題是如何在城市中放慢腳步。

Take a cue from our sloths, but don't go slow in getting your copy, because this baby is loaded with all the good things.

從我們的樹懶那裡得到啟示，但不要怠慢購買，因為這個寶貝包含了所有好東西。

Gentle and joyful urban art that invites us to pause, ponder and smile.

溫和而愉悅的城市藝術，讓我們駐足、深思和微笑。

Wild and wonderful architecture and design full of optimism and a determination to do things differently.

狂野而奇妙的建築和設計，充滿了樂觀主義精神和與眾不同的決心。

There are more small homes to explore and get lost in too.

這裡還有更多的小房子可以探索和迷失。

Inspiration for living lighter and finding poetry in the everyday.

讓生活更輕鬆，在日常中尋找詩意的靈感。

So one thing about this bedroom is this kind of secret hidden door, which actually we only found out about like months after we moved in here.

這間臥室有一個祕密暗門，我們搬進來幾個月後才發現。

It was so discreet, hidden in the pocket here that we didn't even know it was there.

它非常隱蔽，藏在這裡的口袋裡，我們甚至都不知道它的存在。

We have an Eva bed here, which is really great, fits well in the space.

我們這裡有一張伊娃床，非常棒，很適合這個空間。

Also has some neat little drawers here that pop out.

這裡還有一些可以彈出的小抽屜。

And then underneath the bed, we have a lot of storage, which is really cool.

床底下有很多儲物空間，非常酷。

I use the drawers here for storing all of my video equipment when I need to do some filming.

當我需要拍攝時，我就用這裡的抽屜來存放我所有的攝像設備。

This is like the Dyson remote and then the Kindle.

這就像戴森遙控器和 Kindle 一樣。

So I'll be like this and then just be like shutting my eyes and I'll just kind of like find the spot for it.

所以，我會這樣，然後閉上眼睛，找準位置。

The thing that I like most is the double height wardrobe system here.

我最喜歡的是這裡的雙高衣櫃系統。

So we've got like two different rows of clothing.

And you'll get to see the personality of me and personality of Mason.

你們會看到我的個性和梅森的個性。

This is what would be called a hyper clash salad of color.

這就是所謂的超衝突色彩沙拉。

And Mason, what kind of color palette do you have?

So it kind of pulls down and it's so good for just storing things that these are the stuff I don't use as much, but great to have two levels.

它可以向下拉，非常適合存放我不常用的東西，但有兩層也很不錯。

And in here, really cool drawers as well.

I've got pants here, socks and things, and then bits and pieces at the bottom here.

我這裡有褲子、襪子和其他東西，下面還有一些零碎的東西。

We have our spirit stash up here, which is kind of in a hard to reach place on purpose.

我們把精神藏在這裡，故意放在一個難以觸及的地方。

These great little corner shelves that Mariam usually styles with different sculptural objects and different like sort of mementos from times in our relationship and great for plants too.

瑪麗亞姆通常會在角落裡擺放一些小架子，上面擺放著不同的雕塑品和我們戀愛時期的紀念品，還可以擺放植物。

We do have a lot of mosquitoes they really love outside here.

這裡的蚊子確實很多，它們很喜歡在外面活動。

So the net's been working pretty well and we do have a shade blind for the mornings if it gets too intense as well.

是以，這張網一直很好用，如果早上天氣太熱，我們還準備了遮陽簾。

Or sometimes we watch projections on the wall.

有時，我們也會觀看牆上的投影。

So we'll put a projector here and that blackout blind is really good for that.

是以，我們要在這裡放一臺投影儀，遮光百葉窗真的很好用。

The projectors underneath the bed, I've actually got to make next a little stand for the top of the bed, which will fit the projector, but it actually works perfectly on this wall.

床下的投影儀，實際上我還得在床頂做一個小支架，可以放得下投影儀，但實際上在這面牆上用起來非常合適。

Behind here, it looks so seamless, but actually this is a lot of the bulk of our kind of laundry storage, winter clothes.

在這後面，看起來天衣無縫，但實際上，這是我們大量的衣物存放處，冬天的衣物。

We pack quite a lot in here, especially at the top here, there's a lot of laundry bags.

我們在這裡裝了很多東西，尤其是在頂部，有很多洗衣袋。

And my ice cream maker, my trusted ice cream maker is at the top there and our bike helmets.

還有我的冰激凌機，我最信賴的冰激凌機在最上面，還有我們的自行車頭盔。

This is an ingenious way to kind of make a discreet laundry space that also doubles as a door to the bathroom.

這是一個巧妙的方法，既可以做一個隱蔽的洗衣空間，又可以作為通往浴室的門。

And it's a good way to use space and not take up space that would otherwise be taken up by a door.

這也是一種很好的空間利用方式，不會佔用原本由門佔據的空間。

We've got this really nice view from the top of the neighborhood that sort of overlooks the back studio rooftop.

我們從小區的頂層俯瞰後工作室的屋頂，景色非常不錯。

And there's a sort of self-sustaining succulent garden there.

那裡還有一個自給自足的多肉植物園。

And I think Maryam more has baths than I do, but when you do have a bath, you can sit there and sort of look out to the neighborhood.

我覺得瑪麗亞姆比我更喜歡洗澡，但當你洗澡時，你可以坐在那裡，眺望外面的鄰居。
