Description(English)	Within the delicate constraints of space, we orchestrated a choreography of movement and stillness — arcs that cradle the gaze, apertures that beckon light, and shifting elevations that ripple like a quiet tide through the rooms. Each distinct area is gently threaded together, dissolving rigid boundaries and inviting a seamless, fluid experience.Light filters softly through slender gaps and dances across wooden lattices, crafting moments of intimacy, tranquility, and wonder. Here, space becomes a living canvas for the body’s varied scales and gestures, expanding the possibilities of daily life.
Description(Native)	在空間限制中，透過空間中的弧線與孔隙，不同高程的變化，創造出空間的流動感，連結每一個不同的空間，讓生活的可能性有更多的變化。一進家門，試圖打破玄關對於空間的界定，透過一個縫隙，看到的是餐廳透出的光景，連結了家人常聚在一起的空間，進到家看到的框景，既是風景既是一種生活的畫面。將公共空間的連結，放大了空間感，客廳大面開窗透過木格柵轉變成柔和的光線，讓空間顯得更靜謐，可變動的木格柵門也讓空間隨著光線改變。主臥房透過一片弧牆，界定出休息區及更衣室，將主臥做成不同高程的架高地坪，能夠創造出不同身體尺度的活動，隨著生活能有不同的使用方式，也讓家中的小孩、寵物也能輕易的上床讓家人之間的感情更緊密。在流動間，每個小小的島嶼都能更靠近。
Positive Comments
Judging Comments	This project creates a fluid choreography of light, movement, and form. Arcs, apertures, and shifting elevations dissolve rigid boundaries, weaving rooms into a seamless whole. Soft light filtering through gaps and wooden lattices enhances intimacy and tranquility, turning the space into a living canvas for daily life. It was highly praised for transforming architectural constraints into poetic spatial experiences.
