住家空間不僅要舒適,還應展現屋主獨特的特質。本案的男主人愛好攝影,特別專注於自然光的捕捉,而女主人隨著孩子己成年,更將心力轉向社福志工的行列,期望能擁有一處可以舉辦慈善講座與聚會討論的場所,男女主人對光的追尋以及用愛來傳遞的精神,啓發了本案以「太陽」為主題的概念,而將太陽的形狀、顏色、特徵、活動等轉化為設計語𢑥,以太陽的四個特徵:陽光折射所形成的光環、耀眼的輻射光、一天中日光色溫的變化以及一年中太陽運行的軌跡,將「光環」、「光芒」、「光譜」和「光軌」的意象融入本案設計之中。
這個設計不僅僅是一處簡單的居住空間,還作為具有宴會和活動功能的場所,期望具視覺張力的設計能讓賓客留下深刻印象,而不是住家常有慣用的風格。針對業主對使用功能的要求,本案刻意擴大了公共區域的規模,入口處以帶有光軌線條的玻璃屏風開始,讓光的軌跡導引至下一個空間,而玄關側的手吹玻璃藝術品擺飾,在黑色大理石背景和劇場燈光的照射下,暗示著即將到來的熱鬧場景。
客廳是公共空間的核心,光軌形式嵌入線燈的大理石牆面形塑成空間的舞台主場,可隨意調節拆解出不同組合方式的沙發,提供最大的靈活度以滿足各種大小團聚活動的可能。客廳後方設有開放式輕食吧台,除能提供簡易餐飲之外,亦可成為另外一種推廣健康料理講座的展演空間。
主要用餐區配有白板和簡報設備,使該空間可以在享用餐點的同時也能兼具會議討論之用。客廳、吧台、餐廳這三個空間,彼此獨立也相互串連,透過玻璃拉門關或開,既能使活動互不干擾,也能整合為一。
私人區域總共規劃了三間臥室。為了適應業主的個人習慣,採用了雙主臥室的形式,兩間床區以浴室及更衣室相互連接,透過獨立的睡眠空間來解決男女主人不同就寢時間與習慣的困擾,既適度尊重了彼此隱私,更增進了夫妻情感的連結。
太陽的意象從天花板到地板,從家具到配件,貫穿始終。所有元素都與設計主題緊密相連,從玻璃屏風、電視牆、客廳天花板、吧台人造石等處無一不在呈現精緻的光軌弧線,而餐廳的天花板則以環狀表達了光暈的意象,並搭配星雲造型的吊燈,置入宇宙星系的概念。而光譜則是反映在臥室的調色盤中,主臥室呈現出午後溫暖的黃橙色調,客臥則描繪了清晨的冷藍色光。此外,臥室床頭牆上的木飾拼貼、客廳的壁燈、餐廳的備餐櫃拉門,都以一種由中心向外發散的造型形塑光芒的概念。
“把自己活成一道光,因為你不知道,誰靠著你的光,走出了黑暗。”來自泰戈爾的《用生命影響生命》,以此理念的啓示,或許用設計也能影響生命,也能讓房子的使用者透過一件作品找到對生命中的光亮與熱愛!
The project is more than a simple residential space but was also planned to serve as a banquet and event function space, so the designer wanted to use visual tension to impress guests rather than a timeless style. In response to the owner's request for functional needs, the designer deliberately enlarged the scale of the public domain. The entrance is bounded by a glass screen with light track lines, and the reflection effect brought by the light hints at directing the circulation. Hand-blown glass artwork on the side is illuminated by the marble back wall and lighting, suggesting the upcoming lively scene.
The living room is the core of the public space, and the marble wall with embedded light fixture is the feature of the space. An adjustable sofa offers maximum flexibility to meet the various evening activities. An open bar is located at the back of the living room. It can be used as a food prepping space in conjunction with events, and function as a performance stage.
The dining space is equipped with a whiteboard and equipment storage which also allows the space to serve as a meeting place while enjoying the meal. The designer mentioned that although three functional spaces were planned but they can also be separated by sliding doors to create independent compartments so that activities do not interfere with each other.
A total of three bedrooms were planned for the private area. To accommodate the personal habits of the owners, a form of double master bedrooms was adopted, with two bedrooms connected to the bathroom and dressing room. Designer Chen believes that the concept of double master bedrooms is a trend of the future through independent sleeping spaces to solve different sleeping schedules. The design flexibility also offers privacy control to enhance emotional bonding. The guest bathroom is open for guests to use as it is conveniently placed along the circulation, but the space can be closed off to become a complete guest suite.
From the ceiling to the floor, furniture to accessories, throughout the project all elements are closely related to the design theme-the sun. The decorative lines of the screen, the linear light of the entertainment wall, and the ceiling curves simulate the light travel path. The design team enclosed the beams and columns with mirrors to allow the expression to continue through a dreamlike scene where the virtual and the real are intertwined. In addition,
the man-made stone countertop presents a delicate light track shaped by its details and enhanced with lighting embellishment.
The dining room ceiling is shaped in a ring to express the imagery of "light halo" and paired with a star cluster shaped pendent fixture to introduce the concept of a cosmic galaxy. The spectrum is reflected in the color palette of the bedrooms, with the master bedroom featuring warm yellow-orange glows from afternoon to dusk, while the second bedroom depicts the chilly blues of the early morning. In addition to the light fixture display, "radiance" is expressed using wood veneer collages on the bedroom head walls to form the shape of light rays.
"Live yourself as a light, because you don't know, who by thy light, out of the darkness." is from Rabindranath Tagore's "Influencing Life with Life", with this concept and hope to "influence life with design", so that the users of the house can find the love and passion in life through this design.
