Whitespace
家，宜是在結束繁忙日常後，提供居住者放鬆身心的空間。在規律行程之餘，有了從容閒適品嚐興趣的餘裕。
A home should be a sanctuary where residents can unwind and relax after a hectic day. It is a space that provides tranquility and peace of mind. Apart from maintaining a regular routine, there is ample time to leisurely enjoy activities of interest.
屋齡三十年，格局是典型從前陽臺入戶的配置，狹長的陽臺雖帶來了充分的日光照明，但呈現單一線狀的陽臺，沒有玄關作為中介空間，造成了室內外界線過於強硬分明的問題，進入家門後，雜亂的鞋子、雨傘找不到適合的位置穿卸，雨季時節，也擔心置於戶外的鞋，淋得濕噠噠。兩册空間制作所的設計師翁梓富更改了進入房屋的動線，將一直線的陽臺在中段位置退縮，轉折出得以緩衝室內外空間的玄關，無處安放的鞋櫃也在內凹角落有了安定的收納。這麼一來，原本作為出入口的客廳落地窗，也還原回房屋的眼睛，容納下完整的城市景致。
The house is thirty years old and features a typical configuration with the balcony serving as the entrance. Although the narrow and elongated balcony allows abundant sunlight into the space, its linear configuration creates an issue of a too distinct and rigid boundary between the interior and exterior. Upon entering the house, there is a clutter of shoes and umbrellas with no suitable place for taking off and putting on. During the rainy season, there is also concern about shoes left outside getting soaking wet. Designer WONG, ZIH-FU from 2BOOKS Design has modified the entry flow of the house. They have recessed the straight balcony at the midpoint, creating a transitional foyer that buffers the indoor and outdoor spaces. The previously no-place-for shoe cabinet also found a stable storage in the recessed corner. In this way, the living room windows, which originally served as the main entrance, have been restored as the 'eyes' of the house, accommodating a full view of the cityscape.
「一幅空白的畫布，才能一筆一墨增添生活興致。」一架鋼琴、兩個人、多重興趣，一併打包融入這個極少裝飾的空間內。興趣愛好多元的屋主期望在這個空間能夠不被拘束活動形式。而將原本封閉的廚房打開，與客廳、餐廳穿透成開放式格局，放入更多對話的可能，也延伸了光線進入室內的軌跡。合併下的公共區域成為屋內的核心，中島銜接起柴米油鹽與談笑聲。客廳中沒有偌大的電視螢幕及沙發，在使用上的彈性也更加豐富。休假日，邀請親朋好友前來，在綠意扶疏掩映的陽臺烤肉，陽光灑落後，盡享其樂。
"Only on a blank canvas can one add the colors of life stroke by stroke. "A piano, two individuals, and multiple interests are all woven into this minimally decorated space. The homeowner, with diverse hobbies, hopes for a space where activities can unfold without constraints. By opening up the previously enclosed kitchen to form an open layout that connects with the living room and dining area, the design introduces more possibilities for conversation and extends the path of natural light entering the interior. The combined public area becomes the core of the house, where the kitchen island serves as a link between the elements of daily life and the sounds of laughter and conversation. The living room, devoid of a large TV screen and sofa, allows for more flexibility in its use. On holidays, the homeowner can invite friends and family over to enjoy a barbecue on the balcony nestled in lush greenery, and to bask in the joy under the warm sunlight.
環繞屋內一圈，各個角落擺放了屋主的收藏及家具選品。在設計師翁梓富調和下，米白色塗料牆面及穴居般的語彙符號，宛若劇本架構，非洲部落面具像、燭台、花器各自遵循著和諧感成了一捲篇章。跨距甚大的黑色門板後方藏著一架鋼琴，門上開了一個窗洞，暗示空間內還有著琴聲悠揚伴隨。「劇本在設定上總要一些情節曲折吧。」設計師解釋道為何在這潔白畫布上，安排這麼一面視覺驚喜。不過，在求層次疊加時，材質仍選用不需加工的生鐵板，保留原始的紋理，匹配低調溫和的氛圍。「留白」洗刷繁雜的塵囂，回歸純白潔淨的空間，空間留白自由填空。
Throughout the home, various corners are adorned with the homeowner's collections and furniture choices. Under the harmonizing touch of designer WONG, ZIH-FU, the off-white painted walls and cave-like symbolic motifs resemble a script structure. African tribal cave-inspired decorative elements, and vases each follow a sense of harmony, becoming chapters in the unfolding story. Behind the large black door panels, there hides a piano, and a window-like opening in the door suggests the presence of melodic music within the space. "A script always requires some twists and turns in its setting," explains the designer, shedding light on the visual surprise arranged on this blank canvas. However, in the pursuit of layering, the materials chosen still maintain their original texture by using untreated iron plates, matching the subdued and gentle atmosphere. "Leaving blank spaces" washes away the complexities of life, returning to a pure and clean white space, allowing freedom to fill in the blanks.
