恭喜恭喜~ 經手小巧的設計案要開賣囉，感謝這個案子的所有參與者，這案子也讓我在其中玩得不亦樂乎啊，而且更讓我理解到~ 空間越小則越燒腦的道理。
回顧當初這個案子的設計思路~
1. 空間氛圍與風格：
* 新東方美學： 以古代書齋為設計原點，因此設計的核心運用了大量的東方元素，如「竹」、「藤」、的意象和垂直線條的運用，避免較為具象的呈現，而以現代手法進行抽象化處理。牆面的竹節壓花浮雕、細長的抽象的滴落燈飾以及木質格柵，用以傳達淡淡地東方文化的韻味。
* 現代極簡： 空間盡量避免了繁複的裝飾，以純粹的幾何線條和塊狀量體為主。例如，櫃體、中島式接待桌以及天花板的設計，都以乾淨俐落的極簡風格來呈現。
2. 材質與色彩搭配：
* 尋求天然粗曠與細緻的平衡： 材質的選擇反覆思考挑選。最終運用了木質、石材（或類石材）與帶有金屬光澤的黃銅或玫瑰金，期待創造出冷暖交織的對比，如同大自然裡日出與日落給人們的感覺。選用木質帶給人溫潤感，選用石材的粗獷紋理來增添自然的原始氣息。
* 以自然優雅的色彩為主調： 色彩以大地色系為主，如米白、淺灰、溫暖的木色，搭配金屬點綴，使空間既有層次感，又不失高雅。運用低飽和度的色彩搭配，符合了寧靜舒適的氛圍要求。
3. 力求自然的光影設計：
* 間接照明的運用： 設計大量使用了間接照明，例如牆面竹節浮雕下方的燈帶、天花板的隱藏光源，以及櫃體的內置照明。以接近自然的照明方式柔和不刺眼，來強化空間的立體感和各種材質紋理賦予身心靈上的感受差異，也營造出一種溫暖、輕柔的氛圍。
* 焦點照明的點綴： 中島上方的垂墜式吊燈是整個空間的視覺焦點，其獨特的造型和溫暖的光線，賦予了空間藝術氣息。期待運用半剖的造型吊燈及檯面，座落在鏡面時所造成的反射的效果下，而造就空間的擴增錯覺，如此則無盡延伸了原始空間在視野的侷限。
4. 元素與細節：
* 竹林意象： 無論是牆面上的立體壓紋竹節，還是透過玻璃看到遠方的植栽造景，都期待將自然元素引入室內，也呼應了「明明」這個名字背後「日」、「月」的自然意象。
* 收納的隱藏與開放： 牆面的收納櫃有開放式書架的設計，也運用鏡面來延伸空間感的，在滿足功能性的同時，也維持了空間的簡潔。
對於初始設計思考，是期待將東方美學與現代極簡風格融合在一起的設計，亦通過材質、光影和細節的搭配掌控，營造出一個充滿質感、寧靜且富有內涵的居住空間，設計上與後來的命名：「明明」所傳達的「恰到好處」的寓意不謀而合。
關於空間內配件~
* 雨滴形吊燈的虛實相映： 透過鏡面反射，原本看似一半的線條燈具在視覺上形成了一個完整的雨滴形狀，這不僅增加了設計的趣味性，也創造了一種獨特的視覺焦點，讓光線的呈現更富層次感。
* 檯面的鏡面延伸： 檯面下方設置的鏡面有效地擴展了空間的視覺感，營造出檯面懸浮的輕盈感，同時也引導人們的目光進入這個虛擬的空間，產生更深邃的空間體驗。
這種虛實結合的設計手法，期待它在視覺上能帶來了意想不到的效果，也將體現了此空間感知和心理引導的深刻理解。其實鏡子的運用不僅僅是為了擴大空間，更是一種引導和遊戲，讓觀者在真實與虛擬之間產生互動和想像。
Here is the English version of my design thinking and insights on the accessories.
Retrospective of the Design Thinking
Spatial Atmosphere and Style:
New Oriental Aesthetics~ Drawing inspiration from ancient Chinese scholars' studies, the design's core incorporates numerous Eastern elements. Imagery and vertical lines, such as those of "bamboo" and "rattan," were used to avoid a literal representation, opting instead for a modern, abstract approach. The embossed bamboo-joint patterns on the walls, the slender, abstract "drip" light fixtures, and the wooden lattice screens all convey a subtle, elegant Oriental cultural charm.
Modern Minimalism~ The space intentionally avoids complex decorations, focusing on pure geometric lines and solid blocks. For instance, the designs for the cabinetry, the island-style reception desk, and the ceiling are all presented in a clean, minimalist style.
Material and Color Palette:
Balancing Natural Roughness and Delicacy~ The selection of materials was a process of repeated deliberation. Ultimately, wood, stone (or stone-like materials), and metallic finishes like brass or rose gold were chosen to create a contrast between warmth and coolness, much like the feeling one gets from a sunrise and sunset in nature. The wood provides a warm feel, while the raw texture of the stone adds a touch of natural, primitive character.
An Elegant, Natural Color Scheme:
The main color palette is based on earth tones, such as off-white, light gray, and warm wood colors, complemented by metallic accents. This creates a space that is layered yet sophisticated. The use of low-saturation colors aligns with the demand for a serene and comfortable atmosphere.
Striving for Natural Light and Shadow Design:
Use of Indirect Lighting~ The design heavily features indirect lighting, such as light strips beneath the embossed bamboo-joint wall patterns, hidden ceiling lights, and built-in cabinet lighting. This approach, which mimics natural light, is soft and glare-free. It enhances the three-dimensional quality of the space and highlights the sensory differences brought by various material textures, while also creating a warm, gentle ambiance.
Accent Lighting:
The pendant light above the island serves as a visual focal point for the entire space. Its unique shape and warm light give the space an artistic flair. The use of a half-cut pendant light and countertop, combined with the reflection on the mirror, creates a visual illusion of an expanded space, infinitely extending the view beyond the original spatial constraints.
Elements and Details:
Bamboo Forest Imagery~ Whether through the three-dimensional embossed bamboo joints on the wall or the distant plant landscape visible through the glass, the goal was to bring natural elements indoors. This also echoes the natural imagery of "sun" and "moon" behind the project's name,
"Ming Ming" (明明).
Concealed and Open Storage:
The wall-mounted storage cabinet features an open bookshelf design and uses mirrors to extend the sense of space. This fulfills functional needs while maintaining the overall simplicity of the space.
The initial design thinking aimed to integrate Oriental aesthetics with modern minimalism. Through careful control of materials, light, and details, the goal was to create a textured, serene, and meaningful living space. The design's philosophy is perfectly aligned with the project's later name, "Ming Ming," which conveys the meaning of "just right."
Regarding the Interior Accessories:
The Interplay of Reality and Illusion with the Raindrop Pendant Light~ Through reflection in the mirror, what appears to be a half-line fixture visually forms a complete raindrop shape. This not only adds a playful element to the design but also creates a unique visual focal point, giving the light a richer, more layered presence.
The Mirrored Countertop Extension~
The mirror placed below the countertop effectively extends the visual perception of the space, creating the illusion of a floating countertop. It also guides the viewer's gaze into this virtual space, creating a more profound spatial experience.
By using this design technique of interweaving reality and illusion, the project aims to create unexpected visual effects, demonstrating a deep understanding of spatial perception and psychological guidance. The use of mirrors is not merely for expanding space but also a form of guidance and a game, inviting the viewer to interact and imagine between the real and the virtual.
