單層住宅也可以像調色盤般的豐富有趣。這個私人住宅有40+坪的空間，對育有一女的夫妻來說，是個夠用但侷限的空間。以原有隔間來看，室內的後大半段都被房間與浴室等私密空間佔據，若廚房非開放式，開門所見就是不大的客廳與飯廳。業主家好動的臘腸狗很多時間宅在家沒地方活動也是令人沮喪。透過移除原有隔間，露出開放的地板，我們利用磨石子地耐用適合寵物行走奔跑的特性，加入銅條造型來軟性區分空間，輔以造型磚牆與通透的鐵件隔間視覺的反差與折門隔間靈活的開闔創造獨特空間感卻沒原有的閉塞。

The design challenges the materiality and construction technique to ensure the delivery of desired textures and spatial quality in this space, so as the sophisticated visual attraction demanded by our artist clients.

We tried to bring back the forgotten glory of the terrazzo flooring.

Along with carefully mixed compounds cast on site, different design layout of copper dividers were customized to distinguish the programs in this space. Materiality has always played a significant part in our design, especially in a residential project. We believe in the most experience in a space is not only composed by visual but even more by the tactile.

Copper dividers were precisely prefabricated in the factory for desired details, shapes and composition.

The interior partitions are often necessary dividers in a residential flat and as rather rigid components in a layout. Our intention here is to dub them the role of being self-explanatory spatial elements. Be it foldable panels, sliding book wall, steel-glass screens or parametric brick walls according to spatial programs, they contribute to visual references and penetration which fundamentally transformed a typical flat layout.

Elaborated kitchen finish.

Along with carefully picked colour palettes and tile patterns, folding doors serve the presentation of either an open kitchen and a gathering bar counter. The spatial depth and visual presence can be easily chosen accordingly.

Rich palette of interior materials.

A glance at the mixed-use study area and master bedroom reveals a composition of carefully arranged raw material from terrazzo, bricks to cedar wood along with retro steel-glass screens. The deliberately widen passage to the children's room connects private and public sections and serves as a transitional study area.

Let the bricks dance!

The parametric brick wall serves as a partition wall that runs through the apartment and separates the public and private area. The wall itself is a deviation from the ordinary interior partition wall which not only adds more dynamic to the space but also forms certain contrast against the lightness of the glass-metal screens.

Visual and physical experiences

Take this compact bathroom space for example, the spatial limit can be improved by applying looping optical guidance and angled window sash to achieve the comfort while using such limited space .

Double glass house

Though only two meters from the edge of the bed to the building facade wall, we decided to give two layers of curtain screens and one glass partition for more insulation , sound proof and spatial buffing without sacrificing visual extension to the city.

Lacquered wardrobes- a unique language to introduce an small but asserted space where fashion happens within a domestic flat.

Let the marble sketch the room

The marble finish in the master bathroom is an echo to the patterns on the terrazzo floor. Instead of mix the ingredient for the finish look, the design intended to express via the stone's nature grain gesture with specific cladding pattern.
