設計家的樣子，從生活開始｜上篇

Home Begins with Life | Part I

規劃新家時，多數人會先收集喜歡的照片與風格，想像未來的家會是什麼模樣。

但在那些美好的畫面之外，我們更想先聽你聊聊日常：家裡有哪些成員？每個人習慣如何使用空間？哪些舒服的生活習慣值得延續？又有哪些日常的不便，希望能透過這次設計獲得改善？ 因此，在正式開始設計前，我們會花不少時間聊生活裡的細枝末節。當這些真實的片段逐漸清晰，對家的期待才能更精準地轉化為具體的空間規劃。

When planning a new home, most people begin by gathering images and styles they love, imagining what their future home might look like. Beyond those beautiful images, we would first like to hear about your everyday life. Who shares your home? How does each person use the space? Which familiar routines make you feel comfortable and are worth keeping? What daily inconveniences do you hope the design can resolve?

Before the design process begins, we spend time exploring these small details of daily life. As the picture becomes clearer, we can translate your hopes for home into a spatial plan that responds more closely to the way you live.

01｜從回家的幾分鐘，發現藏在動作裡的需求

進門後，你會先放下包包和鑰匙，還是先換鞋？買完菜回來，手上的重物習慣放在哪裡？與另一半同時出門時，兩人會不會在玄關擠得轉不開身？

這些每天重複的小動作，正是空間規劃很重要的線索。除了計算鞋櫃的容量，我們也會一起考慮：手上的物品能否順著習慣自然放下？換鞋時是否有安穩坐下的餘裕？提著食材走向廚房的動線是否一氣呵成？

從回家的這短短幾分鐘開始，收納、動線與材料的選擇，才真正與你的生活連結在一起。

The First Few Minutes at Home: Discovering Needs Within Everyday Actions

When you walk through the door, do you put down your bag and keys first, or change your shoes? Where do you usually set down heavy grocery bags? When you and your partner leave at the same time, does the entryway feel too cramped for both of you?

These small actions, repeated every day, offer valuable clues for planning a home.

Beyond calculating how many pairs of shoes a cabinet can hold, we consider whether there is a natural place to set down what you are carrying, whether you can sit comfortably to change your shoes, and whether the route to the kitchen feels effortless when your hands are full of groceries.

Starting with these first few minutes at home, choices about storage, circulation, and materials begin to connect with the way you actually live.

02｜從想要的物件，理解背後期待的生活

在與設計師溝通時，大家很容易先提出具體的需求，但很多時候，我們想要的其實不只是那個物件，而是它背後所代表的生活場景。

如果你正準備列裝修清單，不妨試著往生活裡多問一步：

「我想要一座中島」

期待的中島日常是什麼？是清晨獨自沖咖啡、快速吃早餐的吧台，還是做菜時有人坐在對面剝蒜、陪著聊天的地方？

「我想要開放式空間」

希望做飯時能一抬頭就看見家人或毛孩，還是單純喜歡視線沒有阻隔的開闊感？兩個人在同一個大空間裡，哪些時候其實又需要各自安靜獨處？

理解這些需求背後的原因，才能進一步思考，什麼樣的配置與空間關係，真正適合你的生活。

Beyond the Object: Understanding the Life You Imagine

When speaking with a designer, it is natural to begin with specific requests. Often, though, what we want is more than the object itself; it is the everyday experience we imagine it making possible.

If you are putting together a renovation wish list, try taking each request one step further into everyday life:

“I would like a kitchen island.”

What do you imagine doing there? Is it a counter where you brew coffee on a quiet morning and have a quick breakfast, or a place where someone sits across from you, peeling garlic and chatting while you cook?

“I would like an open-plan space.”

Do you want to look up from cooking and see your family or pets, or do you simply enjoy the sense of openness that comes with uninterrupted views? When two people share one large space, are there moments when each still needs somewhere quiet to be alone?

Understanding the reasons behind these wishes helps us consider which layout and relationships between spaces will truly suit your life.

下篇，我們會繼續聊聊，如何將這些生活線索轉化為具體的空間安排，讓家慢慢形成適合自己的樣子。

In Part II, we will explore how these everyday clues become thoughtful spatial arrangements, allowing a home to gradually take a shape that feels right for you.
