Morning Silk

一個尋常的早晨，主人家揉著惺忪的眼，踏入透亮的衛浴間。梳洗罷，緩步走向那從整排簾面篩進的柔和敞朗白光，將給予充滿活力地歡迎擁抱。而此時，另一半或許已然在中島上，料理著簡單輕食。看著對方背著落地窗，讓白光輕輕籠罩，呈顯出要人恍惚的幸福風景，任誰都願意永久停留在這樣的時刻。

On a typical morning, the homeowner, rubbing their bleary eyes, steps into the luminous bathroom. After grooming, they stroll to the communal area, where a row of curtains sifts through the gentle yet radiant white light, radiating a lively and inviting aura. Meanwhile, their partner might already be at the kitchen island, whipping up a light breakfast. Gazing at their silhouette backlit by the floor-to-ceiling windows, enveloped in soft light, paints a blissfully surreal tableau—a moment so perfect, one would wish to freeze it in time.

在杉居建築這個屬名為Morning Silk的案子，能輕易想像業主晨起時，滿盈光亮的生活畫面。而這樣的氛圍，全然是設計師的細膩心思。設計師特意選擇讓中島能與落地窗平行，而非備餐台，將自然灑落的光做了最富畫面美感的運用，而如此設計，也會吸引人加入美好畫面之中成為其中一員。在家居空間裡，倘若多費些心思，即能創造出如此的日常魔幻時刻。

In Habitat Architects' project 'Morning Silk', one can vividly envision mornings bathed in brilliant light. This ambiance is a testament to the designer's attentive craftsmanship. Intentionally aligning the kitchen island with the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, rather than the prep area, they harnessed natural light to its most picturesque effect. This thoughtful arrangement beckons one to become an integral part of this serene tableau. In a thoughtfully designed home space, such enchanting daily moments are crafted, weaving the ordinary with a silken glow that casts a delicate sheen over life's textures.

在淺淡木色、米白塗料與弧形線條中，空氣裡充盈的絲滑白光，讓人感到無拘自由。實際上，自由從細節設計而來，體現在得以隨興穿梭且穿透的直立簾、僅有半高電視牆區隔的公領域，以及仔細斟酌規劃的格局動線。光與人，皆能在其中如風流動，自在交會。

Amid the light wood color, off-white paint, and curved lines, the air is filled with a silky white light that brings a sense of unbounded freedom. In reality, this freedom stems from the detail-oriented design, manifested in the easily navigable sheer vertical blinds, a semi-high television wall that divides the public area, and a carefully considered layout and flow. Both light and people can move through this space like the wind, meeting and mingling freely.

為了簡化公共空間的視覺，設計師規劃了多功能室，隱藏突兀的巨大電箱，並且使其與玄關、備餐台收整起來，成就一個無處不迎光，且有著俐落動線的方正格局。而在主臥，梳化、廁所與更衣間，以思量細膩的回型設計，而非任意拼貼隔間，創造出水流般的暢意動線。

To simplify the visual aspect of the public area, the designer planned a multi-functional room to conceal the large, obtrusive electric panel. This room is integrated with the entryway and food preparation area, creating a layout that welcomes light from every angle and features a clean, efficient flow. In the master bedroom, the layout of the sofa area, toilet, and dressing room is thoughtfully designed in a loop rather than just arbitrarily partitioned, creating a fluid, stream-like flow in the space.

新空間的設造會形塑新的習慣，建築師認為，除了當下的生活，一個家的構築，不僅只是滿足機能需求，也能留些餘光向未來眺望。在本案之中，設計師主動提出的多功能空間，既有書房的想像，也預留了往後或有新成員時，可以機動運用的地方。獨特的滑門設計，閉合能為該場域創造隱私，又不過度與外隔絕，而敞開時，滑門則能成為展示櫃的景框。更有趣的是，展開時的多功能空間，也能延伸公領域的範疇，讓喜愛與朋友相聚的業主，有更彈性的空間使用。自由與想像，也在此中獲得開展。

The creation of a new space shapes new habits. The architect believes that beyond meeting current life needs, the construction of a home is not just about fulfilling functional requirements but also about leaving some room to look towards the future. In this project, the designer proactively proposed a multi-functional space, which not only envisions a study but also reserves an area that can be flexibly used should new family members join in the future. The unique sliding door design allows for privacy when closed without completely isolating the space, and when open, the sliding doors can serve as a display cabinet's frame. Intriguingly, when the multi-functional space is opened up, it extends the public area, providing the homeowner, who enjoys socializing with friends, with a more flexible use of space. Freedom and imagination are thus given room to flourish here.
