許多室內設計的作品，意味著改頭換面：以切折彎曲等方式，改變空間的個性。而在這個屬於長短樹鄉村研究所自己的空間，則存在著另一種思考。這個約十七坪大的舊公寓，有著分切成兩塊的長方形空間。長短樹鄉村研究所面對這樣的單純構成，即選擇拆除分隔牆，以簡單直接的方式介入，使之成為新的空間。

Many interior design projects involve dramatic transformations, reshaping the space's character through cutting, folding, and bending. However, in Studio Tngtetshiu's own space, a different approach is taken. This 69-square-meter old apartment features a rectangular layout divided into two sections. Faced with this simple configuration, Studio Tngtetshiu chose to remove the dividing wall, intervening in a straightforward manner to create a new, unified space.

「我們對於既有狀態、空間構成或原初質感，有一定的關注。舊有事物不會被磨滅、被取消，它應該與新的介入產生良好互動，結合成另一種美好的模樣。」在這樣的概念下，被釋放的牆面特意保留了不規則的拆除痕跡；舊天花板拆除後，殘留的水泥與壁紙，同樣不全然抹去，使人意識到過往的存在。地面上亮面的馬賽克磁磚，則反射了當下的陽光，讓天花板與牆面，形成了新舊對話。

"We have a certain regard for the existing state, spatial composition, and original texture. Old elements should not be erased or canceled; they should interact harmoniously with new interventions to create a new, beautiful form." With this concept in mind, the released wall surfaces intentionally retain irregular demolition marks. After the old ceiling was removed, the remaining cement and wallpaper were also left partially intact, reminding people of the past. The glossy mosaic tiles on the floor reflect the present sunlight, creating a dialogue between the new and the old with the ceiling and walls.

設計師俞思安在這個開啟對話的場域中，置入了一張長桌。長桌含納餐廚與工作兩大機能，日常多數的重要活動，便在這個九十公分的平台上發生。在此之外的起居室、臥室，則與具有空間領域界定特質的長桌相反，不僅使用移動性高的家具，活動高度也貼近地板，可隨需求彈性運用，使人感到自由與放鬆。除卻不同活動高度的互動，空間裡色彩、材質的對話，也無所不在。臥室的白與衛浴的黑，鐵件水泥的冷硬與窗簾的柔軟，看似要以兩種極端強化空間的性格，然而互動，意味著不是各說各話，而是存在著協調交流。超乎日常尺度的長桌，產生無法定義的區域；垂墜簾布與鏡面，開放了格局的彈性，為冷硬空間材質帶來柔軟，並且模糊虛實界線。如此簡單形式不僅帶來張力，也激發出生活的趣味想像。

In this dialogue-enabling space, designer Szu-An Yu has placed a long table. This table serves dual functions for dining and work, becoming the center of most daily activities on its 90 cm platform. In contrast, the living room and bedroom feature highly movable furniture and low-height activities close to the floor, allowing for flexible use based on needs and providing a sense of freedom and relaxation. Besides the interaction of different activity heights, there is a pervasive dialogue of colors and materials within the space. The white of the bedroom and the black of the bathroom, the hardness of iron and cement, and the softness of curtains all seem to emphasize the space's character through contrast. However, interaction implies not a clash but a harmonious exchange. The oversized long table creates an undefined area; the draped curtains and mirrored surfaces introduce flexibility, softening the hard materials and blurring the lines between reality and illusion. This simple form not only brings tension but also inspires imaginative and interesting living experiences.

此外，大量使用的馬賽克磁磚，以材質貫串了空間。廁所的小型磁磚、中型的浴室與臥室、較大尺寸的客廳到落地窗台，到最大的陽台磁磚，細緻的尺寸與面感分野，在連結空間的同時，打造節奏層次變化。藉由簡單有趣的方式，長短樹鄉村研究所讓空間自身的各項元素相呼應，要人在屋內隨意走動時，細細傾聽，皆能品味饒富興味的對話。

Additionally, the extensive use of mosaic tiles unifies the space through its materiality. The small tiles in the bathroom, medium-sized tiles in the shower and bedroom, larger tiles in the living room and on the floor-to-ceiling windowsills, and the largest tiles on the balcony create a nuanced texture and size gradient that links the spaces while introducing a rhythmic variation. Studio Tngtetshiu uses this simple yet intriguing approach to ensure that the elements within the space resonate with each other. As people move freely throughout the house, they can subtly perceive and enjoy the interesting dialogue among these elements.
