SUMO

The design of the circle starts from the body of the building. The façade of the house is a large span of arcs. The balcony also consists of two wave-shaped circular floor-to-ceiling windows. To echo this, the interior layout continues the element of "circle" with appropriate angles and scales, drawing on the spirit of traditional Japanese culture of sumo wrestling to express its essence and belief. The image of courageous, tough yet soft, creates a soft but regular movement in the form. The walls of the space range from large to small, all of which are stable yet gentle and intriguing.

Entering the foyer, the other side of the space is brightly lit. In the bright end view, gray becomes a language of light, and the diffused light from the rounded windows into the room reads the movement from light to dark. The white walls, with vertical design details of rounded corners and delamination, present shadows, deepen the sense of three-dimensionality, and strengthen the context between gray and white.

The wall in the living room is just like that of a sumo wrestler, with a strong presence, and the Lotus plaster is calm and textured. Between the division of the rounded corners and the advancement and retreat, the space is delicately closed with solid wood, and when the indirect light source is drilled through the gap, the atmosphere of the space is suddenly softened, expressing the emotional ups and downs only between the twists and turns, and echoing the architecture from the inside out. The two arc-shaped floor-to-ceiling windows, created by the structure of the building, define the location of the public and private spheres. The first arc window is the public domain where the living room and dining room are connected. The gray and green sofa is like a floating island floating in the bright light, with no fixed seating direction and no rules, a simple and casual self-discipline, just like the practicality of the design that hides the storage in the wall. Inside and outside, the vertical shape of the cabinet and the storage system are all made into rules, brewing the life connotation of both function and aesthetics.

The second curved window is planned as a private master bedroom, extending the gray language and wood of the public domain into it. The round language is integrated into the surrounding area in different sizes and embellished with the same geometric vertical levels. The pure beauty of the space is concentrated in a circle, an arc, and a line, so that the perception of space is connected to nature with diffuse light. The spirit of traditional culture extends to the wabi-sabi or the dead objects that condense time, fusing modern language and allowing the interplay of time to bring up the unpredictable mentality of being at ease, feeling every moment of life and the things that happen in every corner of space.

住宅

弧境漫語

的圓從建築體而起，住宅的建築外牆是一道大型跨距弧線，陽台亦是兩道波狀的圓弧形落地窗。為予以呼應，室內格局延續了「圓」的元素，適度拿捏角度與尺度，汲取日本傳統文化的相撲精神，展現其精髓與信念，以勇敢、堅韌卻柔軟的形象，在形體上創造出柔軟卻保持規律的躍動性，空間牆體由偌大至微小，無不展現穩重然輕柔的耐人尋味。

步入玄關，空間彼端盡是一片敞亮。在明亮端景之中，灰色化作一門光的語言，將圓弧窗景灑入室內的漫光，由淺至深呢喃著動線，白色牆面隨著垂直、蘊藏圓角與脫縫的設計細節，顯現陰影與立體感，強調灰白之間的語境。彼道沈穩的客廳電視牆一如相撲選手，有著剛毅凜然的存在，灰泥樂土平靜並帶有肌理，在圓角分割與進退之間，以實木細膩地收尾，當間接光源鑽出間隙，空間氛圍倏忽柔和，表現情緒起伏僅在轉折之間，且由內而外地呼應建築。因建築結構而生的兩道圓弧形落地窗，界定了公私領域的座落位置，第一道弧窗是客廳與餐廳相連的公領域。灰藤青色沙發如同一座飄散在明亮光線裡的浮島，無固定座向，亦無規則，簡單而隨性的自律，如同將收納隱藏在牆體裡的設計實用性，於內於外，立櫃的直列造型與貯藏系統皆是化繁雜為規律，醞釀機能與美學並陳的生活內涵。

而第二道弧窗則規劃成私領域主臥室，將公領域的灰語與木質延伸入內，圓形語彙化成不同的大小融入於四周，並相同地以幾何的垂直水平點綴，純粹的美感，仿若濃縮於空間一圓、一弧、一線之間，使空間感知隨著漫光連結自然萬物，從傳統文化精神延伸至侘寂抑或凝結時間的枯物，融匯現代語感，讓時間的交融揚起隨遇而安的無常心態，感受生活當下的每一刻，與空間每一隅發生的事物。
