INDOT Residence No. 2
Designer JHENG, MING-HUEI (Armin), a recipient of numerous design awards, faces the pressures of life and sees his home as a sanctuary, a place to breathe and let go, offering a respite from daily stresses. INDOT Residence No. 2 is his second personally crafted dwelling. Distinct from his first residence inspired by urban boutique hotel concepts, this design considers the addition of his wife and child to the family. He weaves his signature style with whimsical elements that echo childlike innocence, reflecting his evolving understanding of home. Through design techniques refined over time, he constructs an ideal blueprint that symbolizes different stages of life's longing for the perfect home.
屢獲設計大獎的設計師鄭明輝，面對龐大的生活壓力，對家的期待是一處能夠喘息，乃至於讓自己放手的休憩空間。蟲宅二號是他為自己操刀的第二間住所，有別於第一間以各城市設計旅店概念發想，這次人口組成加入妻子及小孩，他融入慣有的風格又增添幾許童趣，將人生中不同階段對於家的想像，透過經時光淬鍊的設計手法，構築出理想的藍圖。
In urban areas where land prices are sky-high, possessing a spacious living space has become a luxury. Designer JHENG, MING-HUEI (Armin) challenges himself in a living space of only approximately 69.4 square meters, aiming to achieve the dual objectives of maximizing storage and creating a sense of spaciousness. Faced with the competing demands of these goals, he reorganizes the spatial layout, cleverly delineating public and private domains. He converts the original three-bedroom structure into a two-bedroom design, transforming the extra space into a storage room and dressing area. Additionally, he carves out room for a bathtub in the bathroom, allowing for indulgent relaxation. Within INDOT Residence No. 2, every corner, including the entire TV wall, is ingeniously utilized with integrated storage cabinets, thereby multiplying storage options without sacrificing aesthetics.
在地價昂貴的都市之中，擁有一席寬敞生活空間已成奢侈享受。鄭明輝在實際使用面積只有21坪的空間中挑戰自我，達到收納及空間感兩者極大化的目標。面對符合這兩者需求所帶來的衝突，他重新梳理空間配置，一刀切出公、私領域，將三房格局改造為兩房，被拆除的房間劃入儲藏室、更衣室，並讓浴室多了浴缸的空間，保留下泡澡的放鬆時刻。蟲宅二號的轉角、整面電視牆等，全都置入收納櫃，使得收納空間無限加乘。
In constructing workspaces that cater to clients' tastes and needs, he seeks total relaxation when returning home, where minimalism becomes an essential element. Utilizing favorite shades of white, gray, and woodgrain to color his new residence, he adorns it with clean and simple lines, judiciously leaving blank spaces within the design. He avoids over-emphasizing the appearance of lighting fixtures, instead using light strips and recessed lights to provide warm illumination, simultaneously dividing public and private domains.
在工作上要建構符合顧客喜好及需求的空間，踏上歸途，他希望得到全然的放鬆，極簡便成了不可或缺的元素。運用喜愛的白色、灰色及木紋色調為新家著色，飾以乾淨簡潔線條，適度在空間中留白，不強調燈具的外觀，以燈帶及坎燈帶來溫暖照明，同時分隔公私領域。
A large sliding door is placed between the master bedroom and the living room, replacing traditional partitions, thereby allowing the interior and exterior spaces to flow seamlessly into each other. When the sliding door is opened, the entire visual perspective is elongated to encompass the window scenery of the room and capture the breathtaking city view from the balcony, all drawn into the living room. The kitchen features an extendable dining table; when pulled out, it extends the kitchen space, and when stowed away, it enlarges the living room area. The overall design capitalizes on the dynamic interplay of expansion and contraction, allowing for a reconfiguration of the spatial layout, simultaneously broadening the scope of activities.
主臥與客廳間設置大拉門，取代常見的隔間，將內外空間交互延伸。打開拉門，整個視覺將被延伸到房間的窗景，連同最美的陽台城市景致，全都收攬進客廳之中。廚房運用可伸縮的餐桌，拉出桌台便能延伸廚房空間；收起後，則又放大客廳空間。
To address the issue of limited space in the children's room, he tackles this through an architectural approach of interlocking volumes. Above the room, a pink cube is stacked, beneath which a bed, desk, and wardrobe are arranged, and the two spaces are connected by a staircase. A circular entrance is carved into the cube, evoking the playful imagery of building blocks and a tree hollow, and creating a child's exclusive secret hideaway. Additionally, the walls of the children's room do not extend to the ceiling; instead, they are extended upward with glass, adding to the sense of transparency and openness in the space.
整體在伸縮與開關之間，重新解構空間格局，同時又擴大活動範圍。為了解決小孩房面積過小的問題，他透過量體卡接的建築手法來改善。在房間上方堆疊一個粉紅色方盒，下方擺設床、書桌及衣櫃，再以樓梯相連兩處空間。方盒內開出圓形入口，彷如積木又像樹洞般，形成一處小孩專屬的秘密基地。而小孩房牆壁沒有連到天花板，在空中以玻璃往上延伸也增加空間的穿透感。
