隨著年齡的增長，許多人開始思考退休的生活方向。對於居家空間的需求也截然不同因此屋主決定重新裝修，重新定義生活習慣，讓空間回歸簡化。

我們反覆思考屋主的生活模式、收納習慣、活動動線與環境維護等方面，如何在設計上更加注重機能性、安全性，減少不必要的繁瑣。

擁有良好條件的地下室，保留原有的優勢大面開窗引入自然光線，讓空間與窗景合而為一。揣摩了屋主的回家動線，希望從車庫走入家門是印入眼簾的庭院，決定將空間打通順著採光和視線方向進行配置，廚房位於空間後方，運用中島做為廚房與客廳的邊界，兼具功能性的同時，還能使視覺效果從高處延伸至客廳低處，聚會時能無隔閡的交流共同欣賞一覽無遺的窗景。

受限於本身樑柱結構，將垂直動線配置在中央，以螺旋樓梯作為變形，前半段附有收納機能的實體，銜接金屬鐵件打造的鏤空踏階，營造輕盈感減少空間中巨大的量體，並注入土橘色照亮場域增添空間趣味性同時呼應整體風格。考量長久居住的需求增設無障礙電梯，體積較輕巧外觀也能與設計融為一體。
沿着樓梯通往一樓私領域空間，運用房間內完美的窗景條件，刻意將主臥室隔間改造成大面玻璃，強化空間優點，讓陽光能夠延伸至屋內的每個角落，望眼可見的樹梢成為室內的一部分，整體採用溫潤的配色賦予空間寧靜的氛圍。透過重新配置使空間更加貼合屋主的需求，化繁為簡，打造寬敞、安全和舒適的生活環境。

As we age, many people start to think about life after retirement. With the completely different needs for home space, the owner decided to renovate the apartment to renew the living habits and simplify the space.
We keep thinking about the owner’s life style, storage habits, moving patterns, and environment maintenance to pay more attention to functionality and safety and reduce unnecessary complexity in the design.
The original advantage of the basement in good condition is retained. Natural light is introduced through the large windows so that the space and window view are combined into one.
Considering the owner’s hope that the yard comes into view along the route from the garage to the entrance, we decide to open up the space and make arrangements by following the lighting and line of sight. The kitchen is located in the back of the space, with the island as the border between the kitchen and the living room. Besides the function, it also extends the visual effect from the higher part to the lower part of the living room. During gatherings, everyone can communicate without barriers and enjoy the unobstructed window view together.
Due to the original structure of beams and columns, the vertical flow is arranged at the center with the spiral staircase as variation. The front part equipped with the storage function is connected to the openwork steps made of iron parts to create a sense of lightness and reduce the huge volume in the space. Besides, orange is used to brighten and add fun to the space and echo the overall style at the same time. An elevator is installed for the needs of long-term living. Its smaller size makes it easier to integrate into the design.
The staircase leads to the private area on the first floor. To highlight the perfect window view of the room, large glass is specially used as the partition of the master bedroom to enhance the advantage of the space and bring sunlight to every corner. The scene of treetops has become part of the indoor space. The overall use of warm colors endows the space with a quiet atmosphere. The reconfiguration makes the space closer to the owner’s needs, makes the complicated simple, and creates a spacious, safe, and comfortable living environment.
