The current layout of the house includes five spaces: the foyer, kitchen, dining room, living room, and study room. These spaces are interconnected, but the small size of the house can make them feel cramped.To create a sense of spaciousness while preserving the functionality of each area, we separated the spaces and analyzed areas of functional overlap. We then minimized unnecessary elements such as cabinetry, walls, and pathways. As a result, the dining table is now integrated with the foyer's high cabinet, serving as a barrier between the foyer and kitchen and providing a sense of stability in the living room.Additionally, the design of the foyer also softens the feeling of being close to the door, making the use of the dining table more stable. The dining table integrated with the high cabinet in the foyer also creates a primary pathway to the living room and a secondary pathway to the dining room, allowing for different sequences of life depending on the usage by the house owner and guests.
現況公區由五個空間組成，玄關、廚房、餐廳、客廳、書房，相互關係也彼此影響。因尺度較小，大門開啟便會立即看到餐桌與沙發上的使用者；玄關與客廳的距離也顯得侷促。因此，希望能在有限的坪數中，放大空間感受；同時又能維持各領域的機能，並給予安定感。我們拆開各空間，分析其中機能重疊之處。無論是櫃體、一面牆或是動線，設法減化非必要的重複。於是，餐桌結合玄關高櫃，介定出玄關與廚房空間；同時也是客廳一道令人安心的擋牆。並製造進門時，客廳空間的深度錯視，削弱了進門時空間侷促的壓迫感。而在玄關配置落塵區也柔化了與大門鄰近的感受，使餐桌使用上更為安定。餐桌結合玄關高櫃也創造了通往客廳的主動線及通往餐廳的次動線，可隨著屋主與客人使用，創造出不同生活順序。
