Residence W2
「家，應是反映業主的個性。」caps_A design studio 第三度與屋主合作，為其打造人生的退休宅。在長時間相處中，設計師懂得屋主的性格與生活方式，於是這座家屋不只安放當下的喜好與日常，也悄悄收進過往歲月的精華；而那些尚未發生的日子，亦被留出足夠的空間，讓未來能自然長進來。
caps_A design studio summarizes the project with a simple intent: “A home should reflect its owner.” This residence marks the studio’s third collaboration with the homeowner, a long-standing relationship that has allowed the designers to understand not just habits, but temperament. The result is a home that gathers present routines, carries traces of past years, and leaves room for a future still taking shape.
設計師描述，屋主的日常充滿儀式感，時常隨心情與節日替換布置，讓家成為一座能隨時換景的舞台，映出當下最喜愛的模樣。為了讓屋主能自在揮灑，空間以白色作為畫布基底，使不同飾物都能被容納安放，也清楚被看見。屋主偏愛的美式線板，設計師以更精準、耐看的比例重新切割與堆疊，像蛋糕上細緻點綴的擠花，不喧賓奪主，替朗白空間定下了優雅質地。另一方面，設計師知曉屋主爽朗俐落的個性，便在溫柔白調中加入金屬漆電視牆與中島，讓空間多了一道俐落的光澤，也因此在柔和的日常溫度中，添增了層次變奏。
The homeowner’s daily life is marked by ritual—seasonal decorations, shifting displays, small gestures that renew the atmosphere. To accommodate this fluidity, the designers established a white envelope as a steady backdrop, allowing objects and accents to stand out with clarity. The American-style moulding the homeowner loves is reinterpreted with more restrained proportions; its fine profiles lend a measured elegance without overwhelming the space.
有了這樣貼合屋主氣息的多層次基底，家的步調也順著生活自然長出來。闊朗無隔的客餐廳一路延伸到露台，讓喜歡在家辦派對的屋主，能隨興開展私人BBQ聚會。在熱鬧聚會之時，也能在開闊尺度裡照看每一位賓客。設計師在公領域留下一處像咖啡館窗邊的半開放角落，讓日常得以在此吃早餐、看書，或與三兩親友小聚。不封閉的半隔間維持視線通透，陽光與笑語於其間流動充盈，於是這裡也成了屋主最喜愛的地方。
To echo the owner’s straightforward, lively personality, the designers introduced a metallic-painted TV wall and a metal-finished kitchen island. Their subtle sheen cuts through the softness of the palette, adding a precise, contemporary edge. The open living and dining area extends toward the terrace, forming a generous axis ideal for gatherings. The homeowner often hosts barbecues and casual parties, and the continuous layout allows for easy interaction across the space. For quieter moments, a semi-open nook—reminiscent of a café window seat—offers a place for breakfast, reading, or meeting close friends. Its partially framed openness maintains visual continuity, letting sunlight and conversation move freely.
過往的記憶也被溫柔地織入新居。玄關的黑白棋盤大理石地板，讓屋主一踏進門便想起第一個家的美好；屋內另一隅的浴室，以藍白格紋磁磚輕聲應和。沙發、餐桌到床組是屋主過去因服裝產業工作、長期往來歐美的收藏，如今被妥貼安放進新居裡，彼此相映成趣，也與新的日常自然相合。設計師另於櫃體上精選高質感、比例優雅的訂製把手，為空間添上細緻品味。純銅材質會在日復一日的使用裡，慢慢變得溫潤，像把生活的印記一點一滴留在新的時空裡。
Memories from previous homes are threaded gently into the new interior. A black-and-white checkerboard marble floor in the foyer recalls the owner’s first apartment, while a bathroom tiled in blue-and-white checks offers a softer echo. Furniture acquired over years of travel and work in the fashion industry—sofas, tables, bed frames—settles naturally into the new setting, forming a dialogue between past and present. Custom cabinetry is fitted with solid brass handles selected for their proportion and tactile presence. They will develop a patina over time, recording daily touch and slowly marking the home with lived character.
設計師不讓物品塞滿整個家，而是先替屋主把未來的位置留好。公領域刻意放寬通道尺度，更衣間與浴室採用不封閉隔間，使動線更通透，也讓日常更舒適便利；而在這樣的留白之中，新的可能便會自然長出來。設計師開心分享，如今屋主在寬敞廊道的末端擺了飛鏢盤，成了與賓客最愛停留的遊戲角落。在貼合自身節奏的空間裡前行，家也就跟著居者，一邊延伸，一邊長成新的模樣。
Rather than filling the home from the start, the designers chose to leave intentional openness. Circulation routes in the public areas are widened for comfort, and the dressing room and bathroom use semi-open partitions to enhance flow. Within this spatial clarity, new uses gradually emerge: the homeowner has placed a dartboard at the end of the hallway, turning it into an informal gathering spot. In a space attuned to personal rhythm, the home continues to grow alongside its owner—quietly evolving, expanding, and taking on new life.
