簡單生活步調
閱讀品茗是日常的生活情調
The 60-year-old owner chooses this hillside house as a retirement home. As cooking, tea savoring, and reading would be the center of the owner’s simple lifestyle, the best mountain-facing view is reserved for the dining room and kitchen, while the living room would be the extension of the end view in the space.
屋主年屆60，選擇親山的房子做為養老生活宅，簡單生活的步調，料理與餐桌上的閱讀品茗是日常裡的生活情調，故將視野最好的地方留給餐廳與廚房，面山賞景，讓客廳成為空間端景的延伸。
打開廚房、復原被外推的陽台，為住宅做出內外區隔，成就一處能與大自然互動的空間；刻意切齊落地窗與廚房窗檯於同一水平面，完整山景視覺，亦是空間的悠然畫布。在角窗之處規劃冥想區，讓充沛日光與夜間星斗伴隨禪想。
The kitchen is opened up and the extended balcony is recovered, allowing interaction with nature. The kitchen window is aligned with floor-to-ceiling windows to deliver a picturesque full view of mountain scenery. A meditation area is situated by the corner window, letting abundant sunlight and a starry night accompany the musing.
開放場域以ㄇ字型廚具界定廚房邊界，接續與區劃餐廳的吧台，整合多元機能如備餐台、電器櫃並於外側鑲嵌洗脫烘洗衣設備，濕區貼磚、上半部留白讓牆面輕盈許多，帶入歐洲小宅的設計手法，巧妙引入業主過往歐洲生活的記憶。
The open U-shaped kitchen comes with a bar countertop that connects the dining space and integrates functions like food preparation, appliances storage, and a washer-dryer machine. The splashback is tiled while the upper white wall adds to the lightness. This kitchen layout and style commonly seen in the compact interior in Europe are reflective of the owner’s memory of living in Europe.
設計圍繞業主的曾經，拆卸下的海棠花舊玻璃窗，手工製成廚櫃門片，廚房中段的西班牙花磚用圖騰跟色彩復刻台灣老屋顏，灰藍與紅土磚色帶出舊時天空跟老宅外牆的氛圍。深木色紋理做為空間另一端的沈穩背景，同樣材質運用在廚具上櫃讓質感延續，下櫃特意跳了粗獷斑駁板材，如日曬風化的舊木，與花磚同樣豐富的紋理，平衡也鋪陳同一立面的視覺層次。
Also inspired by the owner’s past, the vintage frosted-glass windows with crab-apple patterns are handcrafted into the kitchen cabinet door panels. The look of a Taiwanese traditional house is reimagined with the Spanish tiles used for the splashback, as the grey-blue and brick-red colors resemble the faded blue sky and exterior walls of an old house. Dark wood grains form the calming background at the other end of the space, as the same material is applied to the kitchen’s upper wall cabinets to make the texture extended. Mottled rough wood panels, which have grains as rich as the patterned tiles, are intentionally picked for lower cabinets to balance the visual layers of the vertical surface.
