「時尚魅力」一詞不只是服裝界的專有名詞。室內設計師的角色就像服裝界的裁縫一樣,要把原材料拼湊出獨特風格,為業主家穿上不同魅力的「衣裳」,在這個無邊界的設計舞台上,展示符合每位屋主風格的「時尚」。
"Fashionable""is not just a word tailor-made for the fashion industry. The role of an interior designer is like the tailor in the fashion industry. We both mix-and-match the standard materials to provide a unique style and perspective. As an interior designer, our job is to help houses put on new, tailor-made "clothes"" with their own characteristics. Also, providing a look into the owners style.

要為客人量身定制合適「衣服」,必須了解他們的個性和魅力。這次的客人是一位喜愛設計師品牌傢俱且極具生活品味的年輕女業主。雖然年紀輕輕,屋主卻有著鮮明的主見。她希望這個位於深井「翠景臺」、實用面積約704呎的3房單位能打造成一個具時尚格調的生活空間。
Before we tailor-make "clothes" for the house, we need to understand the owner's personality, insights and charisma to provide the best outcome. Our new project "Greenview Terrace" is helping a female owner who is passionate about designer brand furniture and has an eye for high quality. Although this owner is young, she knows what she needs and has a keen eye for high quality. She's looking for our help to change her 704 sq ft apartment into a modern, fashion living space with an emphasis on quality.

屋主喜歡具設計感的傢俱,它們一般視覺上會較為突出,細節部分也比較多。為了平衡空間的輕重比例,我們這次主要利用顏色和線條,中和過於硬朗的空間感。
Dealing with designer brand furniture, we have to understand their characteristics. They usaully have a sharper visual appearance and contain more detail than the industry standard. In order to balance the visual aspect of the apartment, we use colour and lines to neutralise the sharpness within the space.
首先用色方面,屋主這次挑選的傢俱以帶有復古感的深原木色為主,例如位於客廳的木製電視地櫃;位於飯廳同色系的多層次餐邊櫃。為了凸顯具設計感的傢俱,以反映屋主的帶品味的生活格調,設計師這次選擇了做一件簡約但百變「衣服」。我們運用白色作為主調,再以局部跳色的方法平均地加入灰、炭灰、玫瑰金和炫黑等原始顏色作裝飾,砌出百搭的框架。即便將來屋主轉換不同風格、顏色的傢俱,也能夠很容易地找到呼應的顏色和元素,維持設計的和諧感。
In terms of colour usage, the furniture chosen by the owner are mainly in natural wooden colour, with a pinch of vintage feeling. For example, the wooden entertainment console in the living room and the dining room sideboard with the same colour tone. In order for the quality furniture to stand out, we tailor-made "a cloth" with a minimalist and flexible design in mind. We choose white as the main colour and added equal amounts of feature and accents in grey, charcoal, rose gold and black colours. Our goal is to make a flexible frame for the owner to change to a different style of furniture easier at any time; but still maintaining harmony through design.
具設計感的傢俱通常帶有稍微強烈的個性和視覺效果,例如單位裡位於飯廳的組合形式餐邊櫃,自由變更組合的個性設計看上去層次豐富,但同時稜角會比較多。為了柔化整個畫面,我們在進門的瞬間就注入弧度的設計元素,從大門左側的落地儲物櫃,到右側的開放式廚房中島地櫃,都磨去了稜角並以弧度代替。空間佈局看上去更闊落之餘,輕盈俐落的設計也增添了空間的時尚格調。
In terms of line elements, some designer brand furniture contains strong look and lines, for example the assorted sideboard in the dinning area is full of character and layers but at the same time, the amount of sharp angles is quite large. We soften the visual effect by applying a smooth curved edge design in other furniture, for example the ceiling height storage cabinet on the left hand side of the entrance has a curly and streamline edge instead of a sharp, 90 degree edge. Also, the kitchen island on the right hand side of the entrance is using the same idea to soften the area. Visually, curved lines make the space looks bigger and more comfortable. This smooth streamlined design also adds a fashionable atmosphere to the space.
弧度設計除了在視線高度看到外,抬頭看,你會發現這單位的天花設計也與別不同。沒有把整個天花封起來做傳統的燈槽。相反,只沿著廚房中島的弧度做出假天花並安裝上弧形的燈槽。設計呼應整屋字的流線概念外,線條高低的差異也讓整個原本只是平面無趣的畫面,變得立體生動,更具層次。天花高低落差也讓客廳的樓高看起來更開闊。抹去過多的設計後,更能明顯地襯托出落落大方的美感。
We also apply the curvy streamline design to the ceiling. We didn't use traditional methods to make the ceiling. Instead, we used a false ceiling only in the kitchen, following the curved edges of the kitchen island. This false ceiling creates an extra layer of complexity in the apartment, giving more dimension throughout the space The difference in ceiling height create an effect that the living room has a taller ceiling. Sometimes you don't need to always have a complex design, having simplicity in mind can also be elegant.
室內設計和其他設計一樣,美學上要收放自如、拿捏設計與實用性讓每個設計更能代表每個業主獨一無二的家"
Like other designs, the interior design aspect should be aesthetically appealing and also flexible. With a keen grasp of design and practicality, so that each design element can better represent the uniqueness of each home owner.
