The owners of this home is a couple with a young son. The husband is a doctor who needs to spend long hours reading and working at home. The wife is a child psychotherapist who values family relations and hopes that children can participate in and learn from household chores from an early age. The son, nicknamed “Toast”, is hospitable and lively. He is at an age when he takes great interest in all objects. He freely expresses his curiosity from within his little kingdom.

[Enlarging common space to promote exchange between family members]

Because of the long time spent indoors and the importance of the parent-child relationship development, it was decided to remove the extra compartments and focus on the overall functional planning of the common space. Immediately upon entering the home, one can see that the living room, the play area, the desk / dining area, and the open kitchen are interconnected. Furniture is used to divide the functions of each area. Whether one is preparing food on the kitchen island or working at the main desk, it is possible to face the play area to keep an eye on the child and stay in communication with him at any time. The disorderly appearance that might be caused by the unbroken line of sight is remedied by relying on a collection cabinet tailored for the wife. This keeps the space consistently nimble throughout the line of sight.

【美觀實用兼具 收納最大化】

空間較小的玄關概括了進出門所需配件外還巧妙地藏了一面全身鏡，進門右側規劃為兒童遊戲區，猶如秘密基地般的拱門造型與爬梯讓孩子在其中穿梭自如，平台下方有個可放置嬰兒推車、學步車等外出及日常備品的空間，剛好補足玄關收納機能。溜滑梯採用可收納式設計，階梯與斜面精準密合，可毫不費力推拉收起放大整個公共區域的空間，也將女主人對「收納」的講究發揮到極致；用來加強隔屏結構的彩色單槓使玩法有更多變化；牆面開孔讓行經的大小面孔彷彿一幅幅獨特的掛畫，以最真實的樣貌呈現。

[Both beautiful and practical, with maximum storage space]

The small foyer holds the accessories needed for entering and leaving the home, and also cleverly hides a full-body mirror. The right side of the entrance is designed as a children's play area. Like a secret base, the arches and climbing stairs allow children to shuttle freely. Under the platform, there is a space for putting baby carts, walkers and other outdoor and practical goods. This supplements the storage function of the foyer. The ladder of the play slide adopts a foldable design, and the ladder is precisely connected to the incline so that the space of the whole common area can be enlarged and retracted without any effort. The horizontal bars used to strengthen the structure allows playtime to be more varied; the wall openings transform the passing faces into unique hanging pictures and present them in the most authentic way.

複合式功能大桌面，對內單向抽屜能迅速清空桌面應付辦公及用餐需求，筆電手機專用插座保持俐落美觀；廚房櫃體依女主人習慣的作業模式分配，依序為乾貨區、小家電及崁入式電器；櫃體門片皆可完全收納至兩側縫隙，敞開時也不影響料理時來回奔走的整體動線；通往陽台的後門一併使用門片修飾讓整牆風格一致，菱格開孔除了視覺上更活潑外也達到對流通風的效果。

Compound desktop with large functions: The inner one-way drawer can quickly empty the desktop to meet the needs of office and dining, and the special socket for laptop and phones is aesthetically pleasing. The kitchen cabinet is divided according to the workflow customarily used by the wife. The sequence being: the dry goods area, small household appliances, and installed electrical appliances. The kitchen cabinet door can be fully accommodated to both sides of the gap and, when opened, it does not affect the overall movement line running back and forth while food is being prepared. The back door leading to the balcony is decorated with door patches to make the whole wall style consistent. Besides being livelier visually, the diamond opening also achieves the effect of ventilation.
