English	Inspired by the owner's Provençal garden. The space avoids rigid, square layouts, instead using curves and arcs to blur the boundaries between ceiling and floor, creating a rounded, embracing feel reminiscent of a Southern French wine cellar. In public areas, the skeletonized staircases that run through three and a half floors create a three-dimensional depth that allows light and air to flow throughout. The loft space, which can only be accessed by bending over, has the spatial interest of a village in the darkness, and the light from the sky enters along the sloping roof to create a dynamic beauty.
Native	此案為以普羅旺斯風情為設計核心的獨棟別墅，強調與環境及人們的互動並創造新的生活體驗。此別墅從地下室到五樓，規劃多功能區。地下休閒空間包含高爾夫練習場、游泳池、酒吧和影院，樓層設計使一樓成為與自然對話的公共空間，二、三樓則滿足私密與功能需求，形成獨特的生活基地。透過流暢的動線設計，平衡放鬆與隱私需求，讓「享受」成為日常生活的主旋律。透天基地型態下，設計師將南法莊園的建築與自然風情融入居家。公領域以曲面設計為主軸，打破傳統方正型態，創造出圓融感，透過藝術漆形塑灰泥質感，弧形天花隱形圍塑空間輔以煙囪式壁爐聚焦視覺，彷彿置身於南法的地窖中，並有效結合對稱與平衡，體現南法建築精髓，單人沙發上方巧妙對應發光穹頂，提供冥想沈思的獨立角落。餐廳的六米長的折門可自由敞開，與三樓半的鏤空階梯及高挑的天際線相連，不僅創造出立體深度，也讓陽光與空氣自如流動，營造「會呼吸的空間」。需彎著腰才能進入的閣樓空間，有著柳暗花明又一村的空間趣味，天光沿著斜頂進入創造出隨時序變化的動態之美。此別墅的設計有效減少人工照明需求並降低冷氣使用，實現自然友好的生活方式。
