As the Seattle sun streamed over the fence of the vacant lot behind their house, Per and Cecilia saw no limits to zoning. They recalled afternoons in Cecilia's native Argentina, when family and friends gathered around a quincho (a traditional outdoor dining space), the aroma of meat sizzling in the air, and laughter filled the courtyard. Thus, the design, designed to "bring the flavor of Argentinian cuisine to Seattle," became a "container of joy" that combined traditional warmth with modern convenience.

当西雅图的阳光掠过屋后闲置地块的围栏，Per 和 Cecilia 没有看见 zoning 约束的局限 —— 他们想起 Cecilia 故乡阿根廷的午后，亲友围坐在 quincho（传统户外厨宴空间）旁，烤炉飘着肉香，笑声漫过庭院。于是，一场 “把阿根廷烟火气种进西雅图” 的设计，在 DeForest Architects 团队的笔下，成了兼具传统温度与现代便利的 “欢聚容器”。

The design's original intention revolved around the mantra:Maximum Fun, Minimum Fuss.This is not only a functional requirement, but also a gentle homage to Cecilia's hometown. Rather than replicating the heaviness of the traditional quincho, the team employed modern materials to create a minimalist design, bringing the joy of gathering back to its essence. The exterior walls are clad in weather-resistant Taylor metal and Hardie concrete panels, requiring no frequent maintenance after rain, much like the weather-resistant quinchos found in rural Argentina. Davis "Pewter" concrete floors, both indoors and outdoors, are impervious to spilled coffee, splattered barbecue grease, and even bare feet. The soft clatter of children's shoes against the ground as they chase each other evokes a sense of relaxed, carefree living.

设计的初心，始终绕着一句 mantra：Maximum Fun, Minimum Fuss（趣致无扰）。这不仅是对功能的要求，更是对 Cecilia 故乡记忆的温柔承接。团队没有复刻传统 quincho 的厚重，而是用现代材质做 “减法”，让欢聚回归本质：外墙裹着耐候的 Taylor 金属与 Hardie 水泥板，雨水冲刷后无需频繁养护，就像阿根廷乡村里经得住风吹日晒的老 quincho；室内外通铺 Davis “Pewter” 色混凝土地板，咖啡泼洒、烤肉油溅、赤脚踩过都不怕，孩子们追跑时，鞋底与地面的轻响里，藏着 “不用拘谨” 的松弛。

The code for "Fun" lies in every detail, crafted for joyful gatherings. In an outdoor corner, a Magma 1200 grill imported from Buenos Aires gleams with a metallic sheen. In the evening, the flames of a DCS gas grill lick the steaks, the aroma mingling with the Seattle evening breeze, instantly evoking Cecilia's childhood culinary memories. Rattan chairs frame a warm area around the fire table, where elders, sipping hot drinks, watch the younger generation splashing in the Endless Pools Swim Spa, the water splashing onto the lawn, scattering tiny glints of light. The interior is more like an "extended gathering cabin": when the large Sierra Pacific sliding glass doors are pushed open, sunlight pours in, connecting the kitchen, dining area and courtyard into one. The Dekton sintered stone countertops selected by Mariana Flombaum have a delicate luster, and the light clink of knife and stone when cutting vegetables overlaps with the laughter and conversation outside. The wall cabinet slides open to reveal a coffee station, and the hum of the coffee grinder awakens the morning, while closing it hides all clutter, and even the countertop exudes "effortless neatness."

而 “Fun” 的密码，藏在每一处为欢聚而生的细节里。室外角落，从布宜诺斯艾利斯进口的 Magma 1200 烤炉泛着金属光泽，傍晚时分，DCS 燃气烤炉的火焰舔舐着肉排，香气混着西雅图的晚风，瞬间勾连起 Cecilia 童年的味觉记忆；火桌旁的藤椅圈出一片暖区，长辈们握着热饮，看年轻一代在 Endless Pools Swim Spa 里嬉闹，水花溅到草坪上，折射出细碎的光。室内更像 “欢聚的延伸舱”：大面积 Sierra Pacific 滑动玻璃门一推开，阳光便涌进来，把厨房、用餐区与庭院连成片，Mariana Flombaum 挑选的 Dekton 烧结石台面泛着细腻光泽，切菜时刀与石的轻撞声，和室外的谈笑声叠在一起；墙柜滑开是咖啡站，磨豆机的嗡鸣唤醒清晨，关上则藏起所有杂物，连台面都透着 “不费力的整洁”。

The clash of materials reveals a balance of warmth. The cold, hard metal exterior and concrete floor are softened by the 1x6 cedar veneer ceiling—running your fingertips over the wood grain reveals a warmth similar to that of an Argentinian quincho. Bomma's Tim pendant lamp hangs above the dining table, its smoky glass shade filtering a warm glow. At night, it seems to bring the starlight of the Argentinian prairie into the room. Nora Lighting's Iolite downlights, recessed in the ceiling, provide a soft, non-glaring glow, perfectly illuminating the sizzling Argentinian sausages on the grill and revealing the delicate brushstrokes of Jennifer Gautheir's "Sister Wave" painting in the attic as friends and family chat.

材质的碰撞里，藏着温度的平衡。冷硬的金属外墙与水泥地板，被 1x6 雪松 veneer 吊顶柔化 —— 指尖抚过木纹，能触到类似阿根廷木造 quincho 的温润；Bomma 的 Tim 吊灯悬在餐桌上方，烟灰色玻璃罩滤出暖光，夜里点亮时，像把阿根廷草原的星光摘进了屋；Nora Lighting 的 Iolite 筒灯嵌在天花板，光线柔和不刺眼，刚好照亮烤盘里滋滋作响的阿根廷香肠，也能让阁楼里 Jennifer Gautheir 的《Sister Wave》画作，在亲友闲聊时显露出细腻笔触。

Most moving is the design's precise response to emotional needs. A custom-made steel ladder, custom-designed by DeForest Architects, rolls down to the mezzanine floor and unfolds. It serves as Per's small office during the day, and at night, with a mattress, it becomes a bedroom for visiting relatives and friends. This ladder embodies Cecilia's understanding of home: a quincho in her hometown never leaves guests feeling cramped, and this should be no different. The bathroom, clad in glossy Metro Gray tile for clean, easy-to-maintain aesthetic, features a ceramic soap dish Cecilia brought back from Argentina. In the bedroom, Allison Rohland's vibrant painting, "I Think I Will Play Today," seems to echo the smiling faces of her children chasing butterflies on the lawn during every gathering.

最动人的，是设计对 “情感需求” 的精准承接。DeForest Architects 定制的钢梯，滚到阁楼下方就能展开，白天是 Per 处理工作的小办公室，夜里铺上床垫，就是远道而来的亲友的卧室 —— 这梯子里藏着 Cecilia 对 “家” 的理解：故乡的 quincho 从不会让客人觉得局促，这里也该如此。浴室用 Metro Gray 亮面瓷砖，干净易打理，却特意摆上 Cecilia 从阿根廷带回的陶制皂碟；卧室里 Allison Rohland 的《I think I will play today》画作，色彩明快，像在呼应每次欢聚时，孩子们趴在草坪上追蝴蝶的笑脸。

Today, The Quincho quietly grows in a Seattle courtyard. When the aroma of baking wafts up again, Cecilia, watching family and friends gathered around, is reminded of the quinchos of her hometown and falls in love with this "familiar yet fresh" space. The design has lived up to expectations—it's more than just a building; it's the stitch that connects "hometown memories" with "present joy," making every gathering warm and stress-free.

如今，The Quincho 在西雅图的庭院里静静生长。当烤炉的香气再次飘起，Cecilia 看着亲友围坐的模样，会想起故乡的 quincho，也会爱上眼前这处 “既熟悉又新鲜” 的空间。设计终究没有辜负期待 —— 它不只是一座建筑，更是把 “故乡记忆” 与 “当下欢聚” 缝在一起的针脚，让每一次相聚，都有温度，无纷扰。
