室內設計工作坊JAAK為這個將軍澳家居注入簡約溫馨。Interior design studio JAAK turned this Tseung Kwan O flat into a home through a combination of warmth and minimalism.
JAAK獲邀請粉飾這個位於將軍澳單位，面積550平方呎，業主夫婦想為單位進行大翻新，除了要求擴闊兩名就讀小學女兒的房間及增加儲存空間外，便沒有特定規範，JAAK可自由創作。
Jaak設計總監calvin Cheng表示：「他們的要求很實際，例如要靈活開放的空間，需要時可改動為工作室。男屋主是位工程師，所有決定均由他作主。」這個單位在屋主夫婦購入時為區內新樓盤，他們在網上看到JAAK的作品後，決定找他們協助裝修。JAAK的設計風格是不落俗套，摒棄典型的「豪華」概念，看重是否配合21世紀生活，同時具備舒適與靈活性，他們的理念很適合處理這項工程。
When interior design studio JAAK was commissioned to do up this apartment in Tseung Kwan O, the firm’s designers were presented with a small, 550-square-feet space and a fairly openended brief. The couple desired a complete makeover of the home; in particular, they wished to enlarge the room of their two primary-school-aged daughters and to have more efficient storage. But aside from that JAAK had free rein.
“Their requirements were mostly practical: a space which would allow them the freedom to interact with each other and work when needed,” said JAAK’S design director Calvin Cheng. “The father, who drove the project, is an engineer.” The clients were initially attracted by the property as it was part of a brand new residential development when they first moved in, and decided to hire JAAK after encountering the studio’s work online. JAAK, a studio whose philosophy rejects the typical conception of “luxury” as extravagant and showy, choosing instead to focus on comfortable and dynamic designs that befit modern 21st century living, was well-positioned to tackle the project.
翻新工程用了六個月，把單位轉化為寧靜、簡約的空間，一室採用了溫暖的大地色系及大量綠色，附以金屬點綴。家具以灰色及棕色為主，如櫥櫃、浴簾軌及燈光等元素，配上雪白的牆壁及淺色木地板，十分怡人。佈置方面亦滲入了幾何線條，如飯廳牆上的粉紅色藝術品，還有流線形的浴缸與方形瓷磚，相映成趣。
Cheng解釋：「我們想打造一個舒適及溫馨的家居，但佈置要簡單和諧。所以我們採用近似珍珠白色作主調，再以核桃及古銅色打造層次分明的空間。」為了營造溫馨感，JAAK避免用過多裝飾，保持含蓄及平衡，而中性色調使空間不會侷促。
JAAK spent six months transforming the flat into a calming, minimal space filled with warm earth tones, plenty of greenery and the occasional metallic accent. Furnishings in shades of grey and brown are set against white walls and a light wooden floor, with accent elements such as the kitchen shelving, shower curtain rail and lighting details. There's a sense of geometry, too, found in the pink artworks gracing the walls of the dining area and in the curved bathtub contrasting with the white squire tiles.
“We wanted to create a comfortable, cosy home in a simple and harmonious way,” explained Cheng. “So, we opted for warm and yellowish white as the main colour tones and added a hint of walnut and copper to enrich the space.” To ensure that cosiness was a focal point, JAAK avoided over decorating, instead opting to keep the home subtle and balanced. A neutral palette meant that the design wouldn't overwhelm the compact space, either.
Aside from being low on space, the home presented another difficulty in the form of limited natural light, as all the windows were placed along one single wall. Not to be deterred, JAAK came up with an ingenious solution. “We avoided blocking the windows but enlarged both the bedrooms and the living area to allow more light into the living area, as it's the most important space of the home,” explained Cheng.
The original layout featured three rooms— a master bedroom, a second bedroom, and a study—and an enclosed kitchen. JAAK did away with the study to grant more space to the children’s bedroom and the living area, allowing the clients to place a piano and bookshelves behind the sofa. The children’s bedroom also expanded slightly into what was originally space occupied by the adjoining master bedroom. The kitchen was opened up, being sectioned off from the dining area by a shoe cabinet and dryer instead of walls. The master bathroom was expanded too.
To expand the family’s storage space, JAAK utilised full-height built-in storage units. Much of the rest of the furniture was selected to offset these units’ rectangular shapes. “We decided to use round or soft furniture such as the spherical pendant light from Menu, round dining table from Ziinlife and round custom-made walnut stool and mirror,” said Cheng. The result is a serene abode where the family can gather, relax, and enjoy their surroundings without the visual noise of clutter.
另一問題是室內自然光線不足，因窗戶集中在同一邊牆，JAAK想出了一個別出心裁的解決方案。Cheng解釋：「我們避免阻擋窗戶，同時加大睡房及客廳，讓更多自然光照進客廳，因為那是單位最重要空間。」
單位之前是三房間隔，有主人房、客房、書房，還有一個廚房，JAAK拆除了書房，擴充屋主女兒房間及客廳，客廳梳化後方擺放鋼琴及書櫃。女兒房間佔去隔壁主人房部分空間，廚房變成開放式，以鞋櫃及乾鞋櫃分隔，主人房亦擴大了。
為了增加儲存空間，JAAK採用高身入牆櫃，其餘家具用以平衡入牆櫃的方形線條。Cheng說：「我們決定採用圓形及柔軟的家具，如Menu的半圓吊燈、ziinlife圓形餐檯、訂造的核桃色矮 及鏡子。」一個和諧溫馨的家居，可讓家人遠離繁囂，聚在一起休息及享受生活。
