兩廳四房兩衛之公寓大樓，公領域上採一開放通透之空間，整體呈現L型，視覺感受上空間相連相倚，以公領域為空間軸線劃分為二，兩旁構築私領域臥房， 機能充足，開闔有度。 因此寬闊明亮的公領域則利於設計上的靈活安排之運用，加上熱情好客的業主特別喜愛於家裡招呼眾多親朋好友、舉辦聚餐活動，需同時於餐廳容納多人之特殊需求，因此這樣的空間就成為設計規劃上的優勢。
空間色彩以冷色調的灰白為基調，加上一抹柔和的灰綠色，降低冷冽感的同時保有低飽和色調的優雅態度。空間光線則以歐美風格中的經典代表木百葉為搭配，不僅加強了室內整體風格外，也能輕易的透過葉片的調節以達光線與空氣的調和，使光線能柔和的延伸於空間中。室內燈光則不過度安置，並適時的加以特色單品燈具點綴，達空間整體光線與燈光之平衡。
最後呈現出簡單優雅卻又獨特的美式現代空間氛圍，這樣的空間也同時保留了空間的使用彈性與保持變動空間表情的可能性，能因應業主未來搭配自己喜愛的家具擺設，而呈現出不一樣的風味，整體卻依然能夠不失諧和的共融並存，保持原有一貫的質感。
位於公共空間中央的長型餐桌與中島就是很好的動線與視覺引導安排，同一軸線上的設計，帶出視覺與空間的延伸感，搭配變換業主收藏的藝術品畫作，很容易就能使眼神聚焦。此外，使用相異材質的地板也能輕鬆的劃分出各個不同的區域功能，像是在公共空間磐多魔地板的使用，呈現簡約質樸卻又大器的氛圍，也利於維護清理，廚房則使用黑灰白菱形磁磚交錯拼貼，增添趣味，臥室則鋪設人字拼木地板呈現溫暖舒適氛圍。
以同色調卻相異的材質相互搭配增添空間層次感，另如白色的壁磚拼貼、銀狐大理石、鍍鈦鐵件、灰色磐多魔地板等都呼應著空間中主要的灰白色調，堆疊創造出冷色調的純粹與靜謐氣質。另外，延續其中部分的設計語彙，以多樣的手法運用同一材質，表現出空間連貫性，銀狐大理石的應用在這邊就是個很好的例子。最後，為如此簡約的空間注入一點個性細節，設計師選用進口銅製金色把手等金色系五金配件來相互搭配，在銅質地低調光澤下的襯托，使空間又
業主因工作經常往返於國內外，有許多機會接觸到多樣的設計風格，其中特別喜愛美式風格，設計師加以簡單俐落的線條取代傳統花俏線板的設計，勾勒出簡約卻不失獨特性的美式居家氛圍。同上所述，業主對於餐廳的需求，最後規劃以長型餐桌搭配銀狐大理石檯面中島，提供至少八人以上充裕之座位，如此同一軸線上的設計安排，不僅營造出視覺穿透的焦點而彰顯出空間的氣度外，還帶來舒適而流暢的生活動線，也成為家庭中聯繫情感的重要核心空間。
This project is a two-living-room, four-bedroom, two-bath apartment. The public area features an open, fluid layout in an L-shaped configuration, creating a visual sense of interconnectedness. The central axis of the public space divides the floor plan into two wings, with the private bedrooms flanking either side. The spatial layout is highly functional and thoughtfully segmented, offering a well-balanced flow between openness and privacy.
Thanks to its wide and bright public area, the space allows for flexible design planning. The homeowners, known for their warm hospitality, often host gatherings and dinners at home. To accommodate their need for a dining area that seats many guests comfortably, this layout became a key advantage in the design strategy.
The overall color palette is grounded in cool shades of gray and white, softened by a touch of muted sage green. This gentle contrast reduces the starkness of the cooler tones while maintaining a refined, low-saturation elegance. Light is controlled using classic Western-style wooden blinds, which not only enhance the interior aesthetic but also offer practical modulation of light and airflow. The lighting design avoids excessive fixtures and instead highlights key areas with curated statement pieces—creating a harmonious balance between natural light and ambient illumination.
The final result is a simple yet distinctive American modern aesthetic. This design approach preserves spatial flexibility and adaptability, allowing the homeowners to layer in their preferred furniture pieces and personal touches over time without disrupting the visual harmony or spatial quality.
At the heart of the public area, the elongated dining table and kitchen island serve as both a functional and visual anchor. Aligned along a single axis, they guide the eye and extend the perception of space. Paired with the rotating display of the owner's art collection, they become immediate focal points. Varying floor materials help define each functional area: the use of Pandomo flooring in shared spaces creates a minimalist, earthy yet refined atmosphere that’s also easy to clean and maintain. In contrast, the kitchen features a playful mix of black, gray, and white diamond-patterned tiles, while herringbone-patterned wooden floors in the bedrooms provide warmth and comfort.
The design skillfully layers materials of similar tones but varied textures to add depth and dimension. Elements such as white-tiled walls, Silver Fox marble, titanium-coated metalwork, and gray Pandomo flooring all echo the primary gray-and-white palette, creating a cool yet serene environment. A key design language is the repeated use of a single material in various forms to enhance spatial continuity—most notably the Silver Fox marble, which is thoughtfully applied throughout different areas.
To introduce subtle individuality to the otherwise minimalist space, the designer incorporated imported gold-toned brass handles and hardware. These low-sheen metallic accents bring a quiet sophistication that enriches the overall tone of the home.
Due to frequent international travel, the homeowner has been exposed to a wide range of design styles, with a particular appreciation for American aesthetics. Instead of using ornate molding, the designer adopted clean, streamlined lines to interpret this style in a contemporary way—evoking a simple yet distinctive American residential atmosphere.
As mentioned, the homeowner placed special emphasis on the dining area. A long dining table paired with a Silver Fox marble-topped island was ultimately chosen, offering generous seating for at least eight guests. This linear arrangement not only provides a strong visual focal point and reinforces the home's spaciousness but also supports smooth, intuitive circulation. It has become a vital core space within the home—one that fosters connection and togetherness for family and friends alike.
