MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DETAILS

A pastel pink void demarcates the dining room, with its built-in bench that also doubles as storage, much of which has been incorporated throughout the home.

多功能之作

淺粉色的凹入位為飯廳，再加上可儲物的長椅更見圓滿，如此細心思量的設計細節全屋皆見。

With two balcony windows overlooking the street, the larger of the two polygonal volumes has been designated as the open-plan gathering space. On the farthest side, the building’s original brick wall – brushed over with white paint – marks the sitting area. A few feet away, a bench has been built into a void in the wall. Doubling as storage, it’s designed as seating for the dining space when paired with a large table.

The bench continues past a corner – subtle evidence of the space’s proportions and angles – toward the corridor-kitchen, which occupies the linear body of the home. The porcelain countertop, its grey panelling concealing appliances such as the washing machine, dishwasher and fridge, stretches out to a specially-cut corner to accommodate the client’s wish for a breakfast nook.

By the opposite end, the entrance area, painted burgundy, is thoughtfully outfitted with oak wood details: shelves to hold trinkets, a box to hide the electric metre. From here, the path to the bath and bedrooms extends once again at an angle, painted a pastel, sage green to demarcate the ‘night area’.

漆的原裝磚牆，此處為客廳所在。相距數呎的長椅裝嵌牆內；這款兼作儲物的設計配合大桌使用，即能成飯廳的重要一員。

走過長椅來到一個面向走廊廚房的小角落(另類比例與角度的又一見證)。陶瓷工作檯的灰色鑲板把洗碗機和雪櫃等電器完美隱藏起來，並一直延展至客人享用早晨的特設小空間。

對面一方為門口，髹上酒紅色的空間選配橡木細節，並以架子收放珍品，再用盒子設計把電錶隱藏起來。從這兒開始，通往浴室和睡房的小路伸延至另一國度：一個飾以柔和綠色的夜間天地。
