这套公寓位于台北市郊区，是在山边的住宅区，靠近一个小森林。公寓位于5楼，就在树枝密集的地方。整个概念的灵感来自于树木。我们想创造一个像公寓一样的 “树屋”，一个绿色的、通风的、宁静的地方，它的居民可以感受到它的自然环境，一个和平的、不受外界干扰的空间。
Located in the suburban district of Taipei City, this apartment is in the residential quarters at the border of the mountainside and close to a small forest. Located on the 5th floor, the apartment is right in the dense part of the tree branches. The whole concept is inspired by trees. We wanted to create a “Tree House” like an apartment, a greenish, ventilated, and tranquil place where its inhabitant can feel its natural environment, a peaceful and undisturbed space from the outside world.
该公寓包含两层楼，一楼是主要的生活区，包括一个起居/用餐空间，一个厨房，一间卧室和一个浴室。沿着楼梯上去，你会发现一个工作室和一个客房。首先，我们推倒了边界，通过拆除多余的窗台，恢复了原来的阳台，我们失去了一点室内空间，但改善了自然采光和通风，实际上给人一种开放空间的感觉。天花板采用自然纹理和颜色的胶合板。它强调了树木是整个设计中最重要的元素，并软化了因天花板高度低而造成的限制感。
This Apartment contains two floors, the first floor is the main living area which includes a living/dining space, a kitchen, one bedroom, and one bathroom. Going up the stairs, you will find a studio and a guest room. First, we pushed back the boundary and restored the original balcony by demolishing the extra bay window, we lost a bit of indoor space but improved the natural lighting and ventilation, and it actually gives a sense of open space. The ceiling is made of plywood panels with natural texture and color. it emphasizes the trees as the most important element for the whole design and softens the restricted feeling caused by the low ceiling height.
原本隐藏的楼梯被打开，台阶变得更宽，更安全。台阶是用穿孔金属板制成的，栏杆是用金属网制成的。这使得楼梯的结构看起来更轻，也让自然光穿透下来。浴室可以直接到达背面的阳台。我们使用玻璃推拉门，让光线穿透生活区。
The originally hidden stair is opened up, and the steps are made wider and safer. The steps are made with perforated metal panels, and the railing is made with metal meshes. Which makes the stair construction looks lighter, and also lets natural lighting penetrate down through. The bathroom can reach the balcony on the backside directly. We use a glass sliding door to let the light penetrate through the living area.
房子的主人喜欢旅游和艺术，他拥有很多艺术作品，其中包括他自己的画作。楼上的工作室完全是白色的，功能是作为主人的私人画廊，展示他的收藏和自己的作品。对于材料，我们使用了简单、基本和诚实的材料。像胶合板、裸露的混凝土和粘土砖，我们试图保持简单，不提供强烈的风格感。重点是创造一个平静的空间，感觉与现实脱节。
The owner of the house loves to travel and art, he owns lots of art pieces, which include his own paintings. The studio upstairs is totally white and functions as the owner’s private gallery to exhibit his collections and own works. For materials, we used simple, fundamental, and honest materials. like plywood, bare concrete, and clay tiles, we tried to keep it simple and not offer a strong sense of style. The focus is to create a calm space and feel disconnected from reality.
在这里，我们试图探索建筑师40多年前的原始想法。虽然很难恢复到原来的状态，因为它已经经历了几次修改，但我们试图回到基本的概念，即为私人和平静的生活方式创造一个轻盈和简单的空间。
Here, we try to explore the original idea of the architect more than 40 years ago. Although it’s hard to restore it to its original state because it has already undergone several modifications, we try to go back to the essential concept of creating a light and simple space for a private and peaceful lifestyle.
