Penetrating Sunlight

Buildings carry the traces of people's lives, and residents also place their dreams in them. Through the designer's sculpting of the space, they shape the beautiful visions of the residents' future. The owners, a doctor couple, have a preliminary blueprint in mind for their current and future lives. They plan to naturally integrate the cat's living space into their home and also reserve a room for their future children.

Designer Zheng An Zhi broke away from the framework of stacked spaces often seen in real estate development and instead reimagined the spatial structure. He spread out the blueprint and sketched out the bright and dark zones, and the arrangement of space and lighting configuration took shape in his mind accordingly. In preparation for future plans to have children, a hidden room was cleverly designed within the newly designed study, complete with bookshelves that can be easily removed and pre-installed air conditioning and electrical systems. When the time comes, the bookshelves can be taken down and replaced with a new wall and door, creating a completely new space. The activities of the family cat are naturally integrated into different corners of the home, sometimes walking along the glass pathway above the wardrobe, and other times peeking out from the cat hole in the bookshelf, bringing occasional heartwarming moments to the household.

建築承載人們生活軌跡，而居住者也將夢想寄託其中，透過設計師對空間的雕塑，形塑出居住者對未來的美好想像。業主是一對以醫師為業的夫妻，對現在及未來的生活，已在心中有初步藍圖──將家中成員之一貓咪活動空間自然融入其間，還要預留未來小孩出生的房間。

設計師鄭安志打破建商在原始空間堆疊的框架，重新構思空間結構，攤開圖紙繪出明、暗區塊，空間、動線及光源的配置在他腦中於焉成形。為了迎接將來的生育計劃，隱形的房間被巧妙安排在新規畫的書房，設置便利拆卸的書櫃及預留空調、電源配置等，待時機到來，拆除書櫃，裝上牆面及房門，又是嶄新的空間。貓咪的生活融入家中不同空間的一隅，時而在衣櫃上方的玻璃通道行走，時而自書櫃貓洞探頭張望，為家中不時帶來令人莞爾的情境。

He integrated the dining room, island, living room, and study into a barrier-free space, freeing himself from the constraints of the original small and compartmentalized layout. The dining area and island form a simple and convenient area for heating up light meals, which is even more useful than the kitchen in a busy life where there is little time to cook.

他將餐廳、中島、客廳及書房融合在無阻隔的空間，生活不再受限原先多房卻狹小的格局。餐廳及中島形成簡單加熱的輕食區，在忙碌難得下廚的生活中，成為比廚房更受用的空間。

Designer Zheng An Zhi is skilled at using lighting to guide the line of sight, projecting three-dimensional levels in the plane, invisibly enlarging the visual space, and allowing people to focus on the key areas. He believes that lighting has both primary and secondary functions in addition to illumination. For example, in the study, the reading lamp is the main light source, and the surrounding environment is the secondary soft light, eliminating unnecessary distractions and bringing comfort. The overall design reduces wall barriers and uses indirect lighting to allow light and shadows to flow through natural elements such as marble, wood grain, and bamboo, emitting a warm feeling of the Nordic wilderness. The designer has built dreams into the space, waiting for residents to gradually realize them in their daily lives.

鄭安志擅長運用光源引導視線，在平面中投射出立體層次，無形中放大視覺空間，也讓人專注在重點區塊。他認為燈光除了照明，還具有主次的功能，例如在書房時，閱讀燈是主要的光源，而周圍環境是次要的柔和光線，滌除不必要的干擾，帶來舒適感觀。整體減少牆面阻隔，運用間接光源，讓光影在大理石、木紋及竹藤自然元素中流動，散發出北歐原野的溫潤。設計師將夢想築入空間之中，待居住者自生活中逐步實踐。
