Serenity in 

the Mountain Town

Home is the best gift in life. " Serenity in the Mountain Town" is a multi-storey apartment located on the top floor in the suburb of Xindian. At the same time, it has two terraces and balconies. The feature of overlooking the city mountain is the biggest advantage of this space.The interior distribution is divided into two areas: public domain (where the porch enters the door) and private domain (where the hostesses live). A spectacular staircase connects the two floors and becomes the apartment's most eye-catching focal feature.

In the downstairs, the public area includes the living room, dining room and kitchen, as well as an elder room and a daughter room. There are two solid glass walls in the public area, which are set in the entrance and the living room respectively. The crystal-clear glass bricks like ice cubes are staggered with convex designs under the seemingly regular stacking. The ups and downs of the layers present an interesting sense of design. The living room's glass brick wall is set on a stepped platform with an ink-toned staircase at the back. A fireplace is embedded at the bottom, which a bright flame can glow on this translucent brick wall as the owner walks up and down the steps. The flow of light and shadow extends to another layered ambiance of daily life, just like an art performance being played in an art gallery.

Additionally, there is another visual focus in the public realm. The large island in the dark black kitchen has a concise geometric structure that connects the natural greenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. From the terrace, you can see a good view of the city and the mountain hills complementing both interior and exterior views. The living room takes comfort as the main axis. Carrara white marble is chosen for its bright and delicate texture, and the hand-made roughness of the Panduomo floor is incorporated to create a material contrast.

A green terrace is also built next to the sofa. The borrowed scenery of outdoor furniture and plants echoes the distant city green hills, allowing nature and space design to complement each other, forming a unique sense of leisure in the space.

Climbing up the stairs, before entering the owner's private area, you will pass through the open lounge area as a buffer, and then to the master bedroom area. The bedrooms are surrounded by large terraces for even better views. Therefore, the designer Alan Yu took inspiration from the greenery outside the window and used green bricks with cloud and mist patterns as the main wall of the bedside, as if the pine green tones of the sky and the emerald mountain were integrated, bringing a calm feeling to the space.

The house is connected by a modern semi-open bathroom, and the dark tones make you feel peaceful. The mirror surface of the spacious washbasin is inlaid with a halo on the inner ring of the iron piece. The bathtub has a view of the terrace. The toilet room is also independent. The home has the thoughtful and meticulous feeling of a hotel, making people eager to return home and enjoy this one-of-a-kind comfort after a long day.

山城

靜謐

家，是人生中最好的犒賞。「山城靜謐」是座落在新店近郊、位居頂樓的複層公寓，同時擁有兩座露台與陽台，能夠俯瞰城市山景的特色成為此一空間最大優勢。

室內區域的分佈為樓下是玄關進門的公領域，樓上則為男女主人的私人領域。兩層樓之間藉由戲劇舞台般的樓梯連結，成為這座公寓最受矚目的焦點。

在樓下的空間格局裡，公共領域包含客廳、餐廳與廚房，並另有一間長輩房、一間女兒房。公共領域中有兩道實心玻璃牆，分別設置於玄關和客廳，晶瑩剔透似是冰塊的玻璃磚，在看似規律的堆砌之下交錯著外凸設計，此起彼落的層次呈現橫生意趣的設計感。客廳面的玻璃磚牆安排在階梯式平台上，後方還有一道墨色調樓梯，此處底部埋嵌一具酒精式壁爐，讓緩慢燃起的溫暖火焰閃爍著這道透明磚牆，搭配主人上下樓梯的剪影，彷如美術館裡正在展演的一部藝術戲劇，光影的流動，引申了日常生活的另一種層次氛圍。

此外，公領域中還有另一個視覺焦點，深黑色廚房裡的偌大中島，簡練的幾何造型連接著落地窗外的自然綠意，從露台可遠眺城市與疊嶂青山的良好景緻，讓室內外視野相輔相成。客廳以舒適感為主軸，選擇卡拉拉白大理石增添亮面精緻紋理，加入盤多魔地坪的手作粗獷感，兩者形成材質對比。而沙發旁的亦是一處綠意露台，戶外家具與植栽的借景呼應遠方城市青山，讓自然與空間設計相互輝映，形成空間獨特的休閒感。

拾級而上，進入屋主私人領域前，先經過開放式休息區作為緩衝，接著才是進入的主臥房區域。臥房周圍環繞大型露台，景觀更勝一籌。因此，設計師俞佳宏借景窗外綠意，採用帶有雲霧紋路的綠磚為床頭主牆，彷彿融合天空與翠綠山景的松綠色調，為空間帶來沈靜的感受。一旁現代風格的半開放式衛浴銜接屋內，深沉色調令人感到寧靜。寬敞的洗手台鏡面在鐵件內圈鑲入一道光環，浴缸位置可以看見露台景觀，廁所間亦是獨立，協助男女主人同時使用時不互相干擾，此些生活的細節細膩地織入設計，讓家擁有飯店般設想周到的細緻感，讓人在奔忙一天之餘，迫不及待地回家享受這份獨有的愜意。
