English	The space enjoys a panoramic view that stretches beyond the horizon. To contrast that feeling of infinity, we utilize various wood materials, creating a sense of age and sturdiness. The TV wall is also made into a massive hovering block, decorated by wooden stripes, which further gives weight to the heavy forms, contrasting the large expanse of ocean water outside. For a maximum design impact, we hand-picked glass panes of high transparency, making sure most sunlight is brought into the apartment, and that the magnificent harbour view is always kept in sight.
Native	整體設計重心由室內無限伸展到窗外，客廳採用不同材質的木調，沉實穩重。垂直木線條、上下留空配上灰鏡營造出懸浮感，輔以窗外的開揚景致，選配透明度高的窗花以配合安全考量，將窗外的陽光無限引入至室內空間，創造出格外恬靜溫暖自在的空間氛圍，互相和應。客廳背後的空間由密閉的儲物室改成選色統一、開揚的閱讀及展示區，利用不同材質的玻璃恰當地成為小偏廳，走進屬於自己的風景裡，讓窄長無光的走道增添了一份生氣。主臥的半圓落地玻璃成為採光的最大優勢，選用色彩跳脫的家具讓休閑區域顯得格外活潑明亮，玻璃分隔能成為多功能的房間，勾劃出各自的工作區域，共享陽光溫度又能保留適度的獨立自我，兩者之間取得良好的平衡。
Positive Comments
Judging Comments	This design has been highly praised for its masterful balance between the vast, open panoramic views and the warm, grounded presence of wood materials. The striking use of a massive, wood-striped TV wall adds depth and contrast, anchoring the space against the backdrop of the ocean. Additionally, the selective use of highly transparent glass panes maximizes natural light and ensures the harbor view remains a focal point, showcasing a thoughtful integration of natural beauty with interior design.
