Mr. Racke didn't set out to be a decorative artist. He studied graphic design in his native New Zealand before deciding to take time off to travel. He ended up in New York, where, by chance, he got a job with a decorative artist. In 1989, he opened his own studio in San Francisco, and 23 years later, he has a team of four artists who have done work from Silicon Valley to Southeast Asia.
拉克并不是一开始就打算成为装饰画画家,他最初在本国新西兰学习平面设计,后来他决定抽出一段时间来旅行。最终他到了纽约,在那儿偶然得到了一份装饰画画家的工作。1989年,他在旧金山开设了自己的工作室。23年之后,他拥有了一个由四名画家组成的团队,他们在从硅谷至东南亚的各地工作。
Mr. Racke is now working on his own San Francisco home, having recently bought a loft near his studio. He's keeping the existing concrete walls, but for the kitchen cabinets and the walls he's adding to create the master bedroom, he has decided on cerused oak in a driftwood color (cerused refers to a centuries-old process in which the paint or stain fills the grain of the wood, giving it depth). He'll wire-brush the oak, stain it and then glaze it. For the floors, he's using reclaimed oak. 'It's all about texture and light,' he says of his new abode.
拉克最近在其旧金山工作室的附近买了一所loft,目前他正在设计这所房子。他保留了房子原有的混凝土 壁,但对于厨房的橱柜以及他加建的用以打造主卧的 壁,他决定采用漂流木颜色的铅白橡木(铅白是指采用一种有几个世纪历史的工艺让油漆或着色剂填满木材的纹理,使之更具深度感。)他会用钢丝刷刷橡木,给其着色然后再上光。至于地板,他则采用了回收的橡木。他在谈到自己的新居时说道:“一切无非都是质感和光泽。”
