空間的初始,並非擁有絕好的條件:

大門入口是沒有光線的,而一側的工作陽台面向山壁,在空間的中心管道間及衛浴阻擋住唯一的單向採光。並且在空間中貫穿的樑高只有220公分。

我們處理高度的方式是透過強化樑的量體,設計以黑鐵包夾木皮,使天花至立面成為一個連續的設計,凸顯出此量體的同時並弱化原有樑線的存在,也讓略低的高度成為一種合理的界限符號。

藉由天花板明顯的框架界限,平面配置則依循此界限符號,分別界定出不同空間:客廳與餐廳之間、臥室與書房、書房與和室之間。同時也作為由外而內動線的引導。

Originally the location did not have a good layout:

The entrance lacked natural light source due to the windowless condition and the balcony was on the side that faces a mountain. The single light source into the central area was blocked by the middle piping and the bathroom. Additionally, the beam height was only 220cm.

The way we dealt with the height was to strengthen the look of the beam. By adding black iron veneer, the ceiling brought harmony and continuity into the space. The slightly lowered height visual covers the weaknesses of the original beam, making the ceiling a cohesive boundary symbol.

The ceiling frames created a new plane configuration and distinguished the areas clearly: the living room and the dining room; the bedroom, the study room and the Japanese den. At the same time, the ceiling also serves as a visual guide from the outside rooms to the inside rooms.

且因應原有僅單面採光的格局,盡量減少隔間牆的比例。以彈性的拉門與玻璃隔間盡可能的將光線導入餐廳區域。

原有管道間的壁面則透過整合衛浴與衣帽間,成為主要的連續視覺牆面及空間端景。

為凸顯天花板的界限符號,在立面及地坪材質的選擇上,則盡量以乾淨無分割的中性色調為主。

讓空間的界限及光的界限不被實體的界線所分隔,能夠以最舒適順暢的方式生活著。

And in response to the one-sided external light source, we minimized the proportions of the partition walls by using flexible sliding doors and glass compartments to direct natural light into the dining area as much as possible.

The walls between the existing piping became the main vantage point that brought continuity and integration to the bathroom and the dressing room.

In order to highlight the symbol of limitation on the ceiling, the selection of elevation and floor materials focused on a clean and undivided neutral tone.

The goal of this design is to show that the limitations of space and light should not be separated by material boundaries.

Life itself has no boundaries.
