良好的交通流创造一个舒适的空间。
每当HAO设计公司接到一个新的案子，我们做的第一件事就是观察房子的周围环境，列出它的独特优势。然后我们集思广益，整合空间，规划交通流线。以这个位于高雄的独立屋为例。我们对它进行了评估，发现了四个主要的优势：大院子、高屋顶、良好的自然光和长方形的平面图。

Good traffic flow creates a comfortable space.
Whenever HAO Design receives a new case, the first thing we do is to observe the surrounding environment of the house and list its unique strengths. Then we brainstorm ideas, integrate the space and plan the traffic flow. Take this freestanding house located in Kaohsiung. We assessed it and found four major advantages: a large yard, high roof, good natural light and a rectangular floor plan.

我们改变了原来的交通流，把入口移到房子的侧面。虽然你需要绕着房子走一圈才能进去，但你首先看到的是大院子。这就像从城市走进乡间小屋；你的身体和心灵都立即放松下来。入口处的实木平台让人联想到古老的日本建筑。住户可以坐在上面享受花园的景色。我们对内部做了很多调整，拆除了一堵墙，将原来的客厅和餐厅合并成一个开放的空间。原来的入口现在是一个凸起的盥洗室（日本风格的房间），人们可以在那里休息。

We changed the original traffic flow by moving the entrance to the side of the house. Although you need to walk around the house to get in, the first thing you see is the big yard. It’s like walking from the city into a country cottage; your body and mind both relax immediately. The solid wooden platform at the entrance is reminiscent of old Japanese structures. Residents can sit on it to enjoy the garden view. We made a lot of adjustments to the interior, removing a wall to merge the old living and dining room into one open space. The original entrance is now a raised washitsu (Japanese-style room) where people can have a rest.

在装修过程中，HAO设计公司敲掉了部分天花板，发现它是倾斜的。在其最高点，室内天花板有四米高，大大拓宽了房间。因此，我们没有改变天花板的高度，现在房间很宽敞，很舒适。与客厅相连的厨房有近8坪（26.4平方米）。这是一个厨房岛的设计，台面长280厘米，就像一个梦想的厨房。房子的主人喜欢做饭，现在他有足够的烹饪空间，可以享受他的爱好。尽管厨房的天花板略低，但它与客厅相连，给人以更大空间的感觉。

During the renovation, HAO Design knocked out portions of the ceiling and discovered it was sloped. At its highest point, the indoor ceiling is four meters high and significantly widens the room. Therefore, we did not alter the ceiling height, and the room is now spacious and comfortable. The kitchen, connected to the living room, is nearly 8 ping (26.4 square meters). This is a kitchen island design with a 280 centimeter-long counter top, just like a dream kitchen. The house owner likes to cook, and now that he has enough cooking space, he can enjoy his hobby. Even though the ceiling is slightly lower in the kitchen, it is connected to the living room, which gives the impression of a bigger space.

当我们最初计划装修时，我们意识到原来的布局由太多不同的部分组成，而且缺少窗户，光线很难进入。因此，如何整合小的独立空间并引入更多的光线也是一个巨大的挑战。HAO设计公司在主浴室引入了一个天花板上的窗户，让更多的阳光照射进来。我们把前门改成了一个大的法式窗户，这样可以让更多的光线进入，屋内的人可以欣赏到花园的景色，在喧嚣的城市中，这是一个宁静的地方。我们还在主卧室靠近地面的地方增加了一个窗户，这样光线就可以进入，但我们确保房间不会变得太亮。适量的自然光使房子更有活力。

When we were first planning the renovation, we realized the original layout consisted of too many different sections, and the lack of windows made it hard for light to enter. So the problem of how to integrate the small individual spaces and introduce more light was also a huge challenge. HAO Design introduced a ceiling window in the master bathroom to let in more sunlight. We changed the front door into a large French window so it lets in more light and those in the house can enjoy a view of the garden, a serene place in the bustling city. We also added a window near the ground in the master bedroom so light can enter, but we made sure that the room does not get too bright. The right amount of natural light makes a house more energetic.
