White & Lights

Home

A drive along a tree-lined road toward the suburbs took people to a serene, pure white residence that offers unobstructed view of the lush green countryside, with an intoxicating interplay of light and shadow. Life in this house truly offers a sense of freedom and immersion in an open scenery. This project – the second commission that[W1]  10mm Design received to design a house for the owner – was handled by Hui-Chen Hung and Lin-Ya Huang, two designers that have aptly combined interior and exterior to create a wonderful living space, casual and free throughout the day.

The family members involve a couple and their newborn baby. And the couple told the designers with disarming frankness that they preferred an informal residence, even jokingly said that they could do without doors, with the hope of enjoying an open space without restriction whatsoever. According to designer Hui-Chen Hung, since the living and dining rooms are the core areas where the family spend most of the time, this project, carried out without restrictions in terms of the layout, features a living room and a dining room that incorporate a kitchen and an entrance to create a huge public space with a surrounding, soothing view of nature. Moreover, without separate sections, the furniture layout is arranged with single chairs as vital elements that can be moved around in such a free and casual atmosphere by the occupants to enjoy the light. The Nordic chairs, minimalist in form, could serve as a reading and working place, while oriental antique chairs are placed by the windows as fixtures – a fascinating mix of old and new as the main focus of the project. In short, this minimalist, modern residence features a new space set off by antique pieces of furniture adding a sense of depth to the space.

The indoor space, about 41.8 square meters, is made up of two units that combine to offer a large, unfolding view. A lot of effort has gone into making this residence a unique urban space where different shades of white are visible – simple yet rich in details – to lend the bright interior a delightful sense of warmness. A nice choice of shades and materials presents different levels of whiteness. Specifically, white sand is applied to the walls to create the frames, the single chairs are upholstered in cream leather, and the kitchen utensils are mainly in white, supplemented with pieces of oak wood, with white sand oozing a rustic charm. The unique brush marks – results of the plasterers’ ingenuity – blend with the warm, cream leather upholstery and oak pieces of furniture, creating a neat and comfortable living space that, in the natural light, gives the occupants a sense of tenderness and elegance upon their entry into the house.

馳騁林蔭路間朝城市近郊駛去，恬白住所一室暢然，青山綠景盈繞窗櫺，以自然光相伴，引窗外蓊蔚隨光影流瀉，恣意徜徉於室內。居於此宅，人與景，皆是自由。此宅已然是屋主二次委任十毫米設計，設計師洪惠貞與黃琳雅展現善於發揮空間既有優勢，融會自然的設計原則，使日夜相伴的生活空間，實現不拘小節的隨性自在。

居於其內之家庭成員為一對夫妻與一新生兒，屋主向設計師坦言不喜歡空間流於制式，甚至打趣地說連門都不需要也沒關係，希望可以擁有不受框架制約的開放型空間。而設計師洪惠貞也提到，客廳與餐廳常是佔據生活大部分時間的核心場域，在沒有格局限制的前提之下，本案以客廳、餐廳結合廚房、玄關，開放性地融會成一座偌大公共空間，甫入家門，便能享受窗景環繞、視覺寬敞，不受門扇框架侷限的舒盈沁心。沒有了隔間，家具配置便以單椅為主，並成為了空間重要的主角，居住者可以在自由隨性的氛圍中隨意移動單椅，探索最舒適的光線，來自北歐的極簡派單椅，許是閱讀、工作之處，而東方老式古董椅置於窗邊，也能是停留甚久的一隅，如此新與舊的結合，便是本案一大設計重點，期許在一座現代極簡的生活住所中，擺設舊傢俱來襯托新空間，使空間更有深度。

室內坪數約41.8坪，由兩戶單位相連，拓增使用面積之餘，亦加寬了偌大窗景。在如此獨具優勢的城市住宅中，設計師思考著如何能夠在明亮的空間表現白色的不同層次，以呈溫潤，彰顯白色其看似單純，然卻富含故事的層次。藉由色彩和材質選擇，白色在空間裡泛著不同情緒。大致牆面運用白砂磨抹出框架、單椅家具的皮革選用奶油色、接連廚具也以白色為主，配合橡木原木色為輔，讓白砂呈現泥作匠師鏝塗的手作質樸，一道道刷痕皆是發揮匠心手工抹牆的獨特筆觸，搭配溫潤奶油色皮革與橡木原木，於自然光輝映之下，一入家門，映入眼簾的即是一片溫馨素雅，呈現成為簡潔俐落、舒適的居住空間。
