行舍空間事務所

INSTAY STUDIO

空間主場域，以現代融合東方設計語彙，運用「間（MA）」的哲學概念，形塑負空間空氣流動、留白與時間交錯的層次感。玄關入口處拆除了原有的圍籬，僅保留見證老宅歷史的鑄鐵窗花，並設計榻榻米鋪面元素的高低差平台，中央以一道端景牆，創造如古時「私墊」般的場域；高處猶如講台，低處則為聽者席，與街道之間僅以竹簾間隔，若隱若現地呈現出事務所內交談設計時的場景。

At the heart of the design lies a contemporary interpretation of Eastern spatial philosophy, drawing from the Japanese concept of Ma—the intentional void that allows time, air, and silence to sculpt the experience of space. This principle governs the atmospheric layering of the main interior. The original boundary fence at the entry has been removed, leaving behind a single cast-iron grille—an artifact of memory from the building’s previous life. A tiered platform clad in tatami-textured surfaces introduces subtle shifts in elevation. At its center, a freestanding feature wall references the spatial logic of a traditional Chinese study hall, where the raised platform denoted the speaker’s position and the lower level the audience—evoking a classical setting of structured discourse. This composition is framed by a translucent bamboo screen, offering glimpses into the inner conversations of the studio.

考量老宅翻修時格外注重的採光課題，設計師在建築正立面最大程度地保留了自然進光，並運用軸線轉換的手法，於主空間兩處以日式障子（Shoji，即和室門）全包覆式打造的透光櫃牆，同時配置多處間接光源，令光影層次更顯豐富。內外場域則點綴自然元素，從庭院內蛸蜓造型的風動裝置藝術，到與行道樹相呼應的剝皮樹藤飾柱，不僅延展了空間層次的張力，也為場域注入禪意的靜謐基調。

Light played a central role in the renovation. Existing façade openings were preserved to maximize natural illumination. Internally, the spatial axes subtly pivot, extending sightlines and encouraging fluid visual connectivity. Along two primary walls, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry is clad in translucent shoji panels, gently diffusing daylight throughout the space. This is enhanced by layered indirect lighting, producing a nuanced interplay of brightness and shadow. Natural interventions further blur the boundary between inside and out: a dragonfly-inspired kinetic sculpture animates the courtyard, while a peeled-bark column—echoing the adjacent street trees—extends the space rhythmically, infusing it with quiet, meditative tension.

具開放軸線的格局，蘊含著事務所與外界互動、交流理念的精神，宛若「無門禁」的布局，使辦公空間與鄰里之間的界線漸趨模糊，成為共享設計生活的理想場所。空間透過現代感不鏽鋼的天花格柵和USM櫃體，以AKARI燈飾平衡整體元素，自外部延伸至室內，沉穩的色系不僅反映設計師從業二十餘年的歷練及當下狀態，更寄託對未來的期許，在這充滿挑戰的設計領域以穩健的心境，持續耕耘下去。

The open axial layout embodies the studio’s ethos of permeability and exchange. By dissolving thresholds and traditional demarcations, the design softens the boundary between workspace and neighborhood, creating a porous environment where creativity and community intersect. Materially, the intervention juxtaposes industrial precision with poetic restraint: stainless steel grilles span the ceiling, USM modular units anchor the space, and Isamu Noguchi’s AKARI light sculptures offer luminous counterpoints. A subdued palette of earthy neutrals reflects the designer’s two decades of experience—rooted in accumulated knowledge, yet projecting a grounded optimism for the path ahead. In an ever-evolving discipline, this is a space shaped by clarity, patience, and intent.
