【45度角的幾何生活】
作品單位： 紅磡半島豪庭
面積：1000呎
香港寸步黃金的居住空間聞名世界，盡用每寸空間的建築常態，讓很多鑽石形或不規則的幾何形房屋形成。作品單位充滿斜角的結構正完美示範了港式建築特色。每間房屋的獨特角度，像每個人獨一無二的個性和生活習慣，設計把兩者的棱角修飾串聯，任何角度下都能活出幾何圖形般的百變生活形態。
[Living in a 45 degree-geometric house]
Project: Hung Hom Royal Peninsula (1000 ft)
The scarcity of land and high land price in Hong Kong is well-known in the world. Avoiding waste of space, many diamond-shaped or irregular geometric shaped houses are being built. This unit in Hung Hom Royal Peninsula perfectly demonstrates the uniqueness of Hong Kong-style architecture. No houses are the same in terms of their structural angle. Same as human beings, every person is unique by their personality and living habits. Interior design is the moderator to connect and accommodate the two parties harmoniously. No matter what shape the living space is, you will be able to find the right angle to live a splendid life.
「幾何圖形人格」
不規則的幾何圖形看似多變，但每個形狀背後都是一條分毫不差的公式，比任何設計學都更講究直接和精準。我們把幾何學運用到作品單位的每個角落及傢俱修口。除了基於單位的原本結構外，以線條流暢的45度斜角取代一般的直角和弧形修口，更能反映男屋主的直率個性。我們主要將幾何修邊設計運用到每個空間的入口處，如大門口，睡房、書房和廚房的大形牆身櫃上。磨掉棱棱角角的通道變得寬闊，更適合屋主的狗狗隨處走動。
"Geometric Personality"
Despite geometric shapes varied a lot from each shape and it seems to be freestyle and irregular, they are actually formed under a very accurate formula, which is more precise than any other design theories. We applied this geometric formula to modify corners which are not in 90 degree angle, as well as the making good part of furniture edges. Apart from the special structural characteristic of this house, another reason for this design idea is the connection between the owner's personality and the geometric theory. Using the 45 degree angle instead of normal right angle or curve on edge making good can make the design looks simpler, cleaner and smoother. It better fits with the straightforward personality of the male homeowner. We could find the geometric design appearing on some big furniture at the entrance of each area, such as the big, tall storage cabinet in the doorway, kitchen, bedroom and study room. The 45 degree edge design makes the passage wider. The homeowner and his dog can walk around smoothly and no need to be afraid of bumping into any sharp corner.
「人住屋，不是屋住人」
「人著衫，不是衫著人」，房子也一樣。將「示範單位」式設計改為屋主獨一無二的「家」，設計師將屋主率性俐落的生活習慣融入到「門」的設計上。單位內所有門都以暗藏方式安裝，輕輕一推就可進入每個空間，這設計雖不適合全部人，但對於愛狗心切的屋主來說卻無比重要，暗藏門的設計讓人、狗狗都有平等的生活空間。這輕便的設計也符合屋主化繁為簡的生活態度。
"Let the house lives for you"
The theory "don't let the clothes wear you" in fashion design is also applicable in interior design. To avoid boring show house style design and make it unique to the people living inside, we integrate the simple lifestyle of the owner into the "door" set up. All doors in the unit are hidden door with concealed hinge, You can enter every space easily with a light push. This design may not be suitable for everyone, it is extremely important to the dog-loving homeowner. The hidden door design makes both people and dogs enjoy an equal living space. This lightweight design also represents the homeowner’s simple lifestyle.
「顏色轉出好心情」
作品單位主要以顏色劃分成三個區域。屋主喜歡收集富設計感的傢俱、金屬元素擺設和畫。從大門入口、到客飯廳，延伸到走廊都陳列著豐富的收藏品，我們以炭灰色瓷磚地劃出範圍，打造一個有格調的活動空間。傢俱物料以黑白炭灰元素為主，呼應並勾勒出酷炫時尚的格調。睡房和書房則採用比較暖和的木紋地磚，大自然的柔和元素讓人不自覺地放鬆繃緊的精神，為忙綠的一天畫上句號。浴室的範圍我們特意挑了深色的建材和潔具。很多人都會忽略了這個洗去我們每天滿身疲累的地方。偏暗的浴室就像大自然的保護色一樣，為我們劃出喘息空間。它撫平了複雜情緒，並留出一線思考空間，讓我們可以重新出發。三個重點區域雖然用色不同，但我們運用了設計中的「色彩反覆」（Repetition)技巧，重複使用大地元素到每個空間，讓他們不同中帶序，相互呼應。
"A good mood is from good colours"
This house could be divided into three functional areas mainly by colours. The owner has a rich collection of designer furniture, decorations and paintings which are displayed in the entrance, the dining room and the corridor. To highlight this stylish area, we use charcoal gray tiles for the floor and mainly black, white and natural elements for furniture. It outlines a fashionable atmosphere and gives a bright mood to the users. On the other hand, we used wood-grain floor tiles in the bedrooms and study room. The nature-based warm and soft colours can make people subconsciously relax after a busy day. For the bathroom, a dark theme is selected. The darkened bathroom is like nature's protective colour, providing us a break time to take a deep breath and smoothen the frustrated emotions. It allows us to reflect our life and give us a good start for the next day. Although the three main areas use different colours, we repeated the use of some earth tone colours in each space. This technique is called "Repetition" in interior design. It helps connect each area and create coherence.
「每個人都需要一個療癒角落」
單位的客廳、主臥房和書房都有一個面向維港海景的窗台。設計師沒有特意在客廳和主臥房的這個角落做任何大型改動，反而保留它原本的設定，簡單地舖上舒適的坐墊。無論在任何空間，屋主都能找到一片寧靜角落，能專注的把視野放遠到維港的景色，讓自然環境療癒都市人的煩惱。書房則以窗台書檯形式呈現，書檯延伸並連結到左邊高身入牆書櫃，為屋主提供更大的工作空間並突出一覽無遺的海景。設計師沒有把書櫃做滿整個牆身，避免造成太大的壓迫感，並以45度的斜角修邊，騰出空間放置了一張舒適的木製閱讀椅子，打造出另一個療癒角落和冥想空間，
"Everyone needs a healing corner"
The main feature of this house is having a very stunning view of the Victoria Harbour in the living room, master bedroom and study room. Instead of a big transformation, the designer prefers keeping its original bay window settling with some comfortable cushions in the living room and master bedroom. This simple, clean and quiet corner provides a good healing space for the homeowner to let go of all the worries and focus the mind on such a beautiful view. For the study room, we built a big study desk on the bay window. It extends and connects to the tall wall-mounted bookcase on the left, providing the users with a larger working space and highlighting the amazing sea view outside. Instead of building a huge bookcase covering the whole wall which makes the room smaller and may create too much pressure , the designer made the bookcase edge a 45-degree bevel and left the corner space empty in order to make room for putting a comfortable wooden armchair. This area becomes another perfect spot for meditation and reading.
我們接受不完美，但不屈服於不完美。無論是45度角還是不同度數，我們不會強行改變它，順勢而行反而得著更多。設計也一樣，我們不會用設計改變屋主的生活習慣，呼應生活習慣而設計的空間才是有靈魂的家。

We accept imperfections, but do not succumb to imperfections. No matter if it is a house with 45-degree angle or irregular angles, we will not insist on changing it but follow the flow to strive for a smooth transition. Same theory in design, we will not use design to change the living habits of homeowners, but response to them. Each house should have the soul of the homeowners to make it unique and different from any others.
If you have not found a suitable angle to feel your home, welcome to seek our help to "calculate out the answer" for you by using this geometric equation.
