About Glowing House 住宅室內設計

Book Text: 「發光之家」係一個位於台灣台中一棟轉角連棟透天厝三樓嘅住宅室內設計項目。由於低層樓面仍作商業用途，設計上將公共區域同私人區域分隔開嚟，同時營造流暢嘅動線。入口大門嘅方向經過調整，藉此隱藏客廳區域，增加私密性。開放式廚房嘅中島前設有透明趟門，用以阻隔煮食油煙，同時保持同客廳嘅視覺連繫。黑、白、灰色調與溫潤嘅木皮飾面互相配搭，營造出和諧統一嘅空間氛圍。

Inevitably it will be dark corners in the space, thus, bringing natural light into the whole house is the main focus of the design. Also, this project is mixed with commercial use; therefore, separating public and private areas and creating a smooth flow is the emphasis.
