English	Skillfully play the invented fictional design that we are good at, and transform the scenic views of a high-rise building into a tier upon tier pattern of the ceiling, shaping a boundless look of rising clouds. Brilliantly exploiting fair-faced concrete, solid wooden veneers, and cement textured paint to present the scenery of heaven and earth. Set up an aluminum-framed glass sliding door to integrate the kitchen into the public area and effectively block the cooking oil fume. And enhance the handy features through the hidden door handle and magnetic levitation track design.
Native	將窗外藍天與雲層景色融入設計，遞增玄關、餐廳至客廳的天花板層次，同時修飾圓弧的流線輪廓，形塑天空逐漸開闊的意象畫面，勾起居住者與外在環境的聯想與共鳴。在空間規劃方面，依循場域軸線分配各區寬度，規劃順暢有序的動線，並於廚房隔間選用透明玻璃材質，開拓公領域清晰相通的視野，自然促進家庭成員交流情感，創造舒適安心的幽境。立面運用實木皮點出視覺焦點，搭配襯托木紋的清水模基底，營造淳樸的大地氛圍，並以白色水泥漆保留畫面的餘裕，均衡配置三種建材比例，調和整體空間色彩，進而對映天花板的結構選材，打造內斂和諧的天地。考量場域雙面採光的特性及業主喜好，使用嵌燈為主要照明，加以線型燈提升亮度，渲染靜謐溫馨的氣氛。餐廚區運用鋁框連動拉門，將廚房空間劃入公領域，其門片採用側面把手設計，結合磁吸地面軌道，提升操作便利性，不僅有效阻隔炊煮油煙，平時亦可收納至玄關櫃內，維持簡潔俐落的視覺畫面。為了讓家宅長久使用並永續傳承，全室鋪設防水性佳的超耐磨木地板，且使用防潮環保的系統板材，打造安全健康的居住環境；在舒適機能方面，架高客廳沙發後方的地坪，佈置為多功能區，配有插座與具備收納性能的長椅，背牆設置半開放式書架，擺放書籍或展⽰品，窗邊臥榻兼具書桌用途，方便業主進行各種休閒活動，一旁則預留安置鋼琴的長型空間，未來可轉為孩子學習音樂的場所。
