在地狹人稠的新北市三重區，面對當代都市中日益普遍的小型單身公寓型態，本案回應的是有限尺度下，生活如何被有序地安置。一處約莫 36 m² 的居所，屋主長時間往返各國旅行，日常生活簡潔而規律，偶爾迎來朋友的短暫聚會。
設計因此從高效收納與空間整合的角度切入，將必要的機能內化為空間本身，使住宅不再只是被壓縮的面積，而是一個能隨生活節奏調整、回應不同狀態的彈性容器。
設計從「收納即動線」的邏輯出發，自玄關起，串聯客廳、餐廳與寢區，將小尺度居住中不可避免的機能需求轉化為空間秩序的一部分。大量櫃體沿牆展開，形成一條內向而穩定的生活背景，使活動得以在其中自由發生。
屋主偏好粗曠而節制的材質語彙，主要櫃體以黑鐵板構成，保留金屬的重量感與表面深度。鐵板同時成為一面可被持續書寫的牆，來自不同城市的明信片與海報以磁吸方式附著其上，讓旅行的痕跡不被收藏，而是長期滲入日常。
櫃體縫隙嵌入一只帶有夕陽顏色的燈體，在夜間作為指引照明，也成為深色量體中唯一的色彩節點，使理性的結構浮現情緒溫度。
餐桌被視為空間的核心構件。水泥質感的主桌固定於空間中央，成為動線的錨點，使行走自然環繞其周圍展開。搭配一張可移動的金屬副桌，回應獨處與聚會時對高度與尺度的不同需求。兩者之間不形成主從，而是一組可被重新配置的日常組合，讓空間在穩定中保留彈性。
整體設計並非追求視覺上的完整，而是在有限尺度內，透過材料、重量與位置的精確安排，使生活的各種狀態得以被容納、被轉換，也被尊重。這是一個為移動而生，卻始終保留歸屬感的居所。
Located in the dense urban fabric of Sanchong District, New Taipei City, this 36 m² studio apartment addresses the realities of contemporary compact single living.
Designed for a frequent traveler with a structured daily routine and occasional social gatherings, the project explores how life can be efficiently organized within a limited footprint, conceiving the home as a flexible container responsive to changing rhythms.
The design is structured around the concept of “storage as circulation,” linking the entrance, living, dining, and sleeping areas into a continuous spatial sequence. Built-in cabinetry along the walls absorbs functional demands while forming a calm, inward-oriented backdrop.
Materiality remains restrained and raw. Black steel cabinetry emphasizes weight and depth, while its magnetic surface allows travel memorabilia to remain visible and integrated into daily life. An amber-red gradient light embedded within the cabinetry provides soft night illumination and introduces subtle warmth.
At the center, a fixed concrete table anchors circulation, paired with a movable metal table that adapts to different uses. Through the precise orchestration of material, mass, and placement, the project supports multiple modes of living—creating a compact home shaped by movement and grounded in a sense of belonging.
