ESSENCE


 

The low-saturation space is organized in white, rich walnut and gray wood tones. The overall design of the house is calm and stable and contains many details that are considerate of the elderly.
 
Designer Yushan Wei named the house "essence" because after many years of design experience, she believes that the house will finally return to the fundamentals of life, and that the meaning of design exists only when it meets the needs of the occupants. The owner's professional background is a foreign company. Due to the time difference, he often has online meetings with the American side in the afternoon and enjoys watching TV the rest of the day. The living room is adjacent to the study, and the geometrically framed TV wall, together with the dark brown leather sofa and the green and white stone coffee table, create a comfortable and elegant living room scene. The TV wall is combined with the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall, reserving space for slippers underneath the cabinet and storing equipment such as machine boxes on the side, hiding the chaos and making the face of the home full of comfort.
The man has a rich collection of books, and the floor-to-ceiling cabinets in the study use large sliding doors to store books, with the man's business books above and children's books below for his niece to read. The books can be easily accessed by two people of different heights in the same cabinet. When the sliding door is closed, the wall will be clean again. On the side of the cabinet, photos with family members and a collection of city cups brought back from travels are displayed, while small office stationery and folders can be stored in the drawers to create practical storage. The man likes to use drawers to store his belongings. After sorting out the size of the items in the house, the designer made a custom-made floor-to-ceiling closet with woodworking. The light-colored texture and rustic design of the exposed drawers solved the man's dislike of pulling open the closet door and then pulling out the drawers. The height of the drawers is suitable for putting in two rows of laundered and folded clothes, and the middle part of the closet can be used for hanging shirts, while the upper part can be used for storing winter quilts.
 
The bathroom space has also been designed with many details in mind. In addition to non-slip flooring, the flooring has been designed with no threshold section difference, and the slightly lowered flooring allows for smooth wheelchair access in the shower, preserving a barrier-free space for the future. At the same time, the bottles and jars used for bathing are also planned in a glass compartment with a water fall platform combined with a sink, making it convenient to access and clean. In addition to being functionally appropriate to the needs of living, it also establishes the comfort of home through soft furnishings. Two to three different patterns of tiles are used in the bathroom, with slight kiln changes and color variations, presenting a relaxed and clean bathing space. The lighting is also "essential" and cannot be ignored. Indirect wall lamps with low brightness are used in the living room and corridor, which are embedded in the wall to create visual comfort for the mother and to create a light atmosphere. The design between the living room and the study is especially designed with the horizontal line of sight of a human being sitting down and the length and width of the glass window in mind, and the height of one meter above the floor is just above the back of the sofa. The symmetrical design of the dining room and the chandelier makes every corner of the house an end view.

本質

低飽和度的空間裡,是以白色、沉潤胡桃木與灰系木質調共同組織而成。居住成員為一位男主人與耳順之年的母親,整體設計走向沈穩,並含有諸多體貼長者的細節。

設計師魏郁珊將此宅命題為「essence」(本質),是因為在多年設計歷程後,她認為住宅終將回歸生活的根本,符合居住者的需求,才是設計存在的意義。男主人的職業背景為外商公司,在台灣使用美國工時,因時差緣故,時常在下午與美國端進行線上會議,其餘時間則喜歡看電視。客廳與書房相鄰,蘊藏幾何框架的電視牆,配合深棕色皮革沙發與綠白石紋茶几,營造一幅舒適、雅緻的客廳端景。電視牆結合玄關鞋櫃,鞋櫃下方保留空間擺放拖鞋,並在側邊收納機上盒等設備,藏起紊亂,使家的面容滿是愜意。

 

男主人藏書相當豐富,書房落地櫃體採用大型橫拉門存放書籍,上方是男主人的商業用書,下方則是兒童書籍,讓來玩的姪女可以閱讀,因應不同身高的兩人在同一櫃體都能方便取用,關起拉門,牆面隨即恢復乾淨。一旁端景櫃,展示著與家人的合照以及旅遊各地帶回的城市杯收藏,小型辦公文具、資料夾等,則可收入抽屜內,創造實用的收納機能。男主人本就喜歡以抽屜收納物品,在明確梳理過家中物件大小之後,由於衣物多送洗,設計師遂以木工訂製落地衣櫃,淡色肌理、質感溫樸的外露抽屜設計,解決男主人不喜歡拉開衣櫥門片,還要再拉開抽屜的繁瑣行為,適中的抽屜高度,可直接放入兩排送洗後折好的衣物,衣櫃中段可掛襯衫,上方則可收納冬被。

 

而衛浴空間亦注入諸多細節思量,地板止滑之餘,也採用無門檻之段差設計,微降板地坪使淋浴時輪椅出入流暢,為未來保留無障礙空間。同時,沐浴時會使用的瓶罐也以落水平台結合洗手台規劃,配置在玻璃隔間內,拿取、清潔皆是便利。除了在機能上貼切居住需求,也透過軟裝建立起家的舒適。衛浴使用二到三種不同紋路的磁磚,些微窯變、顏色跳脫出變化,呈現放鬆、乾淨的沐浴空間。燈光也是「本質」不可忽略之處,客廳、走廊皆採用亮度低的間接壁燈,嵌入牆面,創造母親的視覺舒適度,也為空間盈現光氛。而客廳與書房之間的設計,特別以人體坐下來的水平視線,思考玻璃窗的長寬,離地一公尺的高度,正好高出沙發椅背,從書房看往電視牆便是寬敞開闊的尺度。餐廳與吊燈的對稱設計,使住宅每隅皆是端景。
