Naturalistic spaces - A creative playground for all the family

自然派空間 － 一家子的創作樂園

現代人生活緊湊，家人相聚時刻更顯珍貴，Stone夫妻對新居裝潢最大的訴求，就是自然開放、鼓勵孩子創作，並想為家庭成員營造更多親密感。當一般住家格局，往往賦予客廳最大的空間時，Stone與太太，卻與設計師激盪出另一種可能。

People today have such busy lifestyles that time spent together with other family members has become more precious than ever. Mr. and Mrs. Stone’s biggest concern when arranging the interior decoration of their new home was to have a natural, open feel that would provide inspiration for their children’s creative activities, while at the same time bringing family members closer together. Whereas the layout of most family homes gives pride of place to the living room or lounge, Mr. and Mrs. Stone and Ivan, the interior designer have come up with an alternative approach.

最美的風景 － 處處都是心頭好

設計前期，夫妻倆希望以孩子活動場域為主要考量，讓孩子樂在遊戲、享受學習，而父母在忙碌的工作之餘，也不錯過孩子每一刻的成長，在來回討論之下，「閱讀遊憩區」的想法逐漸形成。Stone一家人走自然派路線，開放、隨性，男女主人熱衷園藝生活，女兒也就讀鼓勵孩子手作的華德福幼稚園，平常會撿拾枯枝、落葉、種子，手作飾品、佈置季節餐桌。

一進入Stone家，看到的並非客廳，而是19坪的閱讀休憩區，以一張溫潤的木長桌定調，這裡是Stone夫妻時常陪伴孩子「動手做」的創作場域，上方懸吊結合照明與展示功能的FavouriteThing燈飾，可在燈罩裡隨心擺放女兒的勞作作品。而進門右手邊的黑板牆，是家人的留言板、是孩子的塗鴉的天地，更是女主人的食譜筆記本，為全家提供隨性的互動空間。

Scenes of unmatched beauty – everywhere you look is just right

In the initial stages of the interior design process, Mr. and Mrs. Stone decided that they wanted the provision of space for their children’s activities to be the main consideration in the design, so that their children could play happily and study in a relaxed environment; the parents also wanted to be present for every moment in their kids’ childhood when they were not busy working. After extensive discussions, the idea of creating a “reading and play area” gradually took shape. The Stone family are very open-minded, liberal and nature-oriented. Both Mr. and Mrs. Stone enjoy gardening, and the Waldorf Kindergarten that their daughter attends encourages the children to collect twigs, leaves and seeds that they use to make craft items, or to decorate the dinner table to create a seasonal effect.

When you enter the Stone family residence, the visitor is greeted not by a living room but by a 19-ping (approximately 60m2) leisure and recreation area. A smooth wooden table sets the tone; this is the creative space where Mr. and Mrs. Stone spend a lot of their time with their children making things together. The “Favourite Thing” light fixture that is hung from the ceiling combines lighting and display functions; the craft items created by their daughter can be placed inside the light cover for backlit display. The blackboard-wall that is positioned on the right-hand side as one enters the room serves as a message board for all the family, and provides the children with a surface to sketch on; Mrs. Stone also uses the blackboard for noting down recipes on. The interior design thus provides the family with a flexible, interactive space.

開放式中島 － 擁抱相聚的時刻

廚房中島作為從公領域過度到私領域的中介，幾處點睛設計，巧妙將閱讀休憩區與小客廳的動線串連。中島四周的收納設計，讓女主人可恣意擺放調料、料理書，為家人創作各式各樣的料理，格狀櫃體設計，與家中所有書櫃的造型相呼應；中島上方，充分利用空間的高度，打造帶有點工業風的黑色鐵網收納架，作為視覺重心，並隨意栽種植栽，讓綠意從陽台、閱讀區的綠色調櫃體延伸到廚房，收攏了家人喜歡的各種元素，也作為與家人相聚的料理舞台。

全家人的遊樂場

家中的溜滑梯，是小女孩一人獨享的天地，活動式溜滑梯設計了卡榫，可收放自如，不需要時可收起來，增加陽台空間，而陽台設計的鞦韆，伴隨錯落擺放在的植栽，更是空間裡美好的端景。當下班後，Stone坐在鞦韆上，看著老婆與女兒一同彈奏鋼琴時，關於家的風景與夢想，都在眼前實現了。
