若隱宅

Hidden in Stillness

「我覺得風格應該是讓居者用時間去醞釀。」談及空間與人的互動關係，李靜敏設計師還是將焦點回到「人」的身上。在了解到這對夫妻極簡規律的作息，也喜歡邀請朋友到家裡作客，因此從減法生活美學出發，有意為之的留白，任由自然光充盈空間原有的簡約輪廓，讓材質自己表達，隨著時間流轉，如同在一張白色畫布上不斷更新居者的生活軌跡。設計考量到人在生理與心理上的特性和活動，一道不置頂牆體劃分了玄關與廚房區，與木格柵門垂直處留下的開口，設置層板銜接著牆面，留縫之間形成矮凳，讓訪客或居者一進屋就有個地方能好好坐下，不急不徐地將外衣和配件收進純白的系統櫃裡，營造恰到好處的鬆弛感，適度地維持彼此間的互動。

“Style, to me, should be something the occupants grow into over time,” says designer Abraham Lee, who kept the focus firmly on the people inhabiting the space. Learning of the couple’s minimalistic lifestyle and their fondness for hosting friends, he developed a spatial narrative grounded in the aesthetics of subtraction. Purposeful blank spaces allow daylight to flow freely along the home’s simple contours, while materials are given room to speak for themselves. Over time, these elements trace the evolving story of the occupants—like brushstrokes on a blank canvas. The design thoughtfully responds to both the physical and emotional needs of its residents. A partial-height wall separates the foyer from the kitchen, while a vertical slatted timber door aligns with a small wall opening—now integrated with shelving that bridges to the adjacent surface. The resulting alcove becomes a low bench, inviting guests and residents alike to pause, unhurriedly store coats and belongings into the pristine white cabinetry, and settle into the home’s calming rhythm. This choreography of arrival fosters a subtle sense of hospitality while preserving spatial clarity.

既然格局如破題般地敘述居者的生活起居，便以簡明與燈光的應用定義公領域，讓空間留白顯得更加寬敞，予以乾淨的生活場域，利於居者移動步伐的順暢。夫妻重視健康飲食，從開放廚房收整一側的儲藏櫃取出食材料理，接著至餐桌共同品嚐已成為生活日常，於後端不落地的櫃體形成收藏端景，而下方牆角一隅友善貓咪自由來去。有時，坐在香杉企口的天花板下與來訪友人談天喝茶，不時還能聞到空氣中飄散香杉的淡雅香氣。閒暇時，女主人於陽台悉心栽種的植栽為室內點綴著綠意光景。光影在展開的空間流轉，光線自兩側窗簾透入，如濾鏡創造出明與暗的深度，譜寫出光的詩意。隱於自動門後的空間便是通向私密的領域，沿著廊道分別為書房，專為女主人而設，一處不受干擾、靜心冥想和閱讀的空間。廊道的盡頭即是主臥，同時為男主人保留一處工作區，使夫妻彼此皆擁有各自獨處的一隅。

Given that the architectural layout subtly narrates the occupants’ daily routines, clarity and lighting take center stage in the design of the shared areas. Clean lines and restrained use of light articulate the public zones, allowing negative space to amplify the sense of openness and ease of circulation. Mindful of health and nutrition, the couple has integrated meal preparation into their lifestyle—retrieving ingredients from the concealed pantry within the open-plan kitchen and continuing to the dining area for shared meals, a ritual that has become their daily grounding point. At the back, a suspended cabinet creates a display focal point, while the open lower corner of the wall allows the cat to move freely and comfortably. At times, conversations and tea with visiting friends unfold beneath the tongue-and-groove cedar ceiling, where the air carries the wood’s faint natural fragrance. On quiet days, the wife tends to the plants on the balcony, introducing gentle touches of green into the interior. Light moves with the architecture—streaming through layered curtains like a lens, shifting between brightness and shadow, composing a poetic choreography of illumination. Behind an automated door lies the private realm. A hallway leads to the study, designed specifically for the wife—a sanctuary for reading, meditation, and quiet reflection. At the end of the corridor is the primary bedroom, which also includes a dedicated workspace for the husband. In this way, both partners are afforded space for solitude within a shared home.
