SOHO HOUSE SOHO之宅

Location: Taichung taiwan 台灣台中
Typology: Residential
Size: 410m²
Status: Built

This is a house that can simultaneously fulfill the needs of life and work, providing a more flexible work-life balance. Along with the shifting conditions of life, the degree of importance placed upon work or life can be adjusted to meet every demand.

Through transformations across a vertical flow of movement, the office space on the lower floors and the residential area on the upper floors exude a striking quality. The horizontal layout of the workspace on the first and second floors is connected via a staircase to the living area on the third and fifth floors. Of special note is the placement of the living room on the fourth floor, creating an elevated space and balcony on which families may gather to enjoy an expansive urban vista. The staircase continues vertically along the patio of the living room to connect the high and low living areas; at the same time, it brings together the collections and displays of everyday life around the patio into  a conversation.

Natural light from the sky permeates daily life as the staircase moves from top to bottom. The staircase serves as a line of upward and downward motion as well as a channel of light that guides the family to interact and return to the social areas of rooms. It is the centerpiece of the home, linking every scene in the home. In addition to the green balconies on each floor, the owner's treasured "roof garden" can be found while ascending the patio.

The Soho House is an adaptable and multipurpose residence that allows occupants to draw from their unique lives to experience one-of-a-kind scenarios.

這是一處能同時承載生活與工作的場所, 提供一種更有彈性的工作與生活的互動模式. 可以隨著不同的生命狀態調整工作與生活的比重, 並兼顧兩者的需求.

低樓層的辦公空間與高樓層的住宅空間透過垂直動線的轉變營造出空間的獨特性. 水平佈局的工作空間藉由樓梯銜接到住宅樓層後, 即沿著挑高客廳空間的天井垂直錯落的分佈而上. 同時也將生活的收藏與展示整合在天井的四周, 彼此對話著.

天光伴隨著樓梯由上而下的漫入滲透在生活中. 樓梯既是上下移動的動線, 也是光的通道,引導著家人們的交匯與返回房間的交誼區域. 是家中的核心空間, 將家中每一幕的生活場景串連一起. 除了每個樓層都有綠化的陽台之外, 沿著天井而上的更是男主人珍貴的收藏「一座屋頂花園」.

這是一棟充滿彈性與多元使用的住宅, 讓居住者可以用各自獨特的生命, 去活出一幕幕與眾不同的生活場景.
