Dzen House
一處與宇宙自然、寧靜、無雜念的棲居環境會是什麼模樣？在Dzen House建築改造的設計中， Shovk Studio喚醒對這種純粹和靜謐渴望的實現，為業主打造尋見歸屬、平衡內在安全的避風港。Dzen House源於業主對日式極簡的著迷，團隊便擷取日式傳統建築，如坪頂外露頂梁結構、燒杉技術覆層的外牆及榻榻米茶室形式等細節元素，作為理想家宅型態和一處冥想、內觀的場域，回應業主崇尚對日式簡約的期待，在簡明布局中向日本傳統美學致敬。
What does a home that embodies the essence of the universe, nature, and tranquility look like? In the redesign of Dzen House, Shovk Studio transforms this vision into reality, crafting a sanctuary where the owner can find belonging and inner balance. Inspired by the owner’s admiration for Japanese minimalism, the design incorporates traditional Japanese elements such as exposed roof beams, shou sugi ban wood-clad exteriors chosen for their lightweight durability, and a tatami-style tea room. These features form a home that celebrates simplicity while providing a dedicated space for meditation and introspection, reflecting the timeless principles of Japanese aesthetics.
然而，設計師在詮釋日式極簡之時，思考著如何將相異文化材質融合，仍維持和諧成為團隊課題。於是，團隊取材烏克蘭當地鄉村傳統住宅的「mazanka」抹灰技術用於建築底層，其色澤與粗糙堅固質地特性，與日式美學並存不悖 ; 基於對建築增建考量，燒杉木輕量與耐用的特性，便取其輔以作為閣樓外飾，技術且有效地克服載重問題，使整體立面看似隱含著兩種迷人的文化層次。毗鄰Dzen House幾分禪意的針葉園林，化作內飾天然資源，在起居對應處配置全景落地窗，將四季之美納景入內，好似無界的內外，使居者見證自然奇妙作為，萬物遞嬗完美闡釋著日式美學精髓。
While embracing the purity of Japanese design, the project also integrates materials from Ukrainian tradition, creating a harmonious cultural dialogue. The architecture's ground floor uses mazanka plaster—a rustic material from Ukrainian rural architecture—that complements the refined elegance of shou sugi ban on the attic level. This thoughtful material choice balances cultural depth with technical functionality, symbolizing the fusion of two distinct heritages. Dzen House’s natural surroundings, including a tranquil coniferous garden, are integral to its design. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows draw the changing beauty of the seasons into the interior, seamlessly connecting the indoors and outdoors. This interplay between architecture and nature embodies the essence of Japanese aesthetics, where harmony with the environment is paramount.
Shovk Studio在底層中央配置樓梯、衛浴和儲物構成一個完整的功能區，使餐、廚和客廳之間既能界定彼此機能也可相互串聯，以圍繞中央迴圈設計增強場域互動的緊密，當人們行走於流暢動線之間，創造視覺縮放、感受情境轉換體驗 ; 客廳起居以壁爐作為內聚的核心，除了在寒冷的季節裡給予溫暖，不銹鋼煙囪貫穿至二層臥室，高效地供暖於兩個層樓，也能作為臥室裡的裝飾。團隊進一步在底層地面嵌入地暖設備，其緩緩釋放熱源的功能，能確保足部舒適感受的體驗，同時結合通風系統持續維持新鮮空氣循環對流，提供居室內部的適溫環境。
The ground floor is organized around a central core housing the staircase, bathroom, and storage areas, creating a natural flow between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. This circular layout enhances interaction and flexibility while maintaining functional clarity. The living room centers around a fireplace, which warms the home during colder months and extends its utility to the second floor through a stainless steel chimney. Radiant heating within the concrete floors ensures consistent warmth while preventing overheating. Combined with a ventilation system, it maintains a fresh and comfortable indoor climate year-round.
拾級而上，便以開放榻榻米形式作為茶室，這是一處提供業主能夠內觀、沉思或療癒身心的瑜伽場域。相同的，在品茶、內省和經絡抒展之餘，透過那無框圓窗便能靜靜地欣賞晴天灑落光束中舞動的細微粒子，或濛濛細雨隨屋檐落下的雨滴，引導沉澱、思索、啟發作為一段醒悟的旅程。整層以白樺木夾板為內飾基礎，對應著底層中央垂直空間，運用相似邏輯為開放的茶室、閱讀區與睡眠區精巧地分界。兩間精緻臥室分別以相同材質抬高作為床台，而主臥床側窗扇能一覽樹林的療癒; Shovk Studio順應斜屋頂形式，運用作為天花造型，營造日式低矮的閣樓情境，在每處細節皆描繪著日式美學靈魂。家的意義是什麼？對於業主而言，也許僅僅是一處沒有紛擾、純淨、冥想內省和回歸本質的安歇空間。
Ascending to the second floor reveals a serene retreat. An open tatami-style tea room serves as a dedicated space for tea ceremonies, yoga, and quiet introspection. Through a frameless circular window, natural elements come alive, with sunlight dancing on floating particles and raindrops cascading from the eaves—inviting a meditative stillness and creative inspiration. The floor’s birch plywood walls and ceilings create a cohesive and warm environment, while the layout cleverly separates the tatami tea room, reading area, and sleeping areas. Two elevated bedrooms crafted from the same material feature platform beds, with the master bedroom framing calming views of the surrounding coniferous landscape. Shovk Studio embraced the sloping roofline to create an intimate loft-like atmosphere, evoking the scale and proportion of traditional Japanese interiors. For the owner, Dzen House is more than a residence—it is a retreat for mindfulness and introspection, where life’s essentials are cherished, simplicity prevails, and harmony becomes a way of living.
