鸚嶼 Feathered Haven


Tucked away on the edge of the city, beside a forested hillside, a young couple shares this home and their seven parrots. It was designed as a serene and practical living space that supports both human routines and the natural behaviors of birds.

The goal was to create a setting where different species could live together with ease, supported by thoughtful planning, gentle boundaries, and a strong sense of spatial flow.

七隻鸚鵡、兩個人、一個家。

這個家,地處城市與山林交界,我們因而將它延伸成一座浮現於山與天光之間的微型島嶼 ——《鸚嶼》。在這座島嶼上,每個生命都有自己的軌跡,生活不必高聲,也能彼此理解,自然地相互靠近。人與鸚鵡共棲於自然簇擁中,織就寧靜而動態的居住景況。

These drawings unpack the spatial thinking behind Feathered Haven — a closer look at how daily activities, zones, and circulation come together in one cohesive plan.

The design focuses on spatial flow and shared comfort, aiming to strike a balance between movement, visibility, and interaction. Flow guided every aspect of the layout, influencing how people move, how parrots fly, and how air and light travel through the space.

To preserve the sweeping mountain view and bring in natural light, the layout avoids partitions and emphasizes continuity. Curved flooring, rounded cabinetry, and softened transitions replace sharp edges, creating an environment that feels open, fluid, and at ease.

 
 
我們在空間尺度與設計之間,聚焦於關係的調節與流動性的優化,尋找共生、共享與共感的最適解。

「流」成為設計的核心語彙 — 關乎人們的行進、鸚鵡的飛行,以及氣流與日光的流暢穿梭。整體格局在保留開窗與綿延蔥鬱森林視野的前提下,從格局、動線到立面語彙,全面導入圓弧與曲面設計。經由這些手法消融邊界與稜角,置身其中,如在空中盤旋般自在悠活。
 
 

A transparent glass room sits at the center of the shared area. It functions as both a study and a space for the parrots to roam freely. The glass enclosure keeps the room visually open and naturally lit, while curved metal framing and low cabinetry create a layered composition of solids and voids. This spatial arrangement adapts easily to different uses, maintaining a subtle balance between privacy, storage, and shared living.

 
 
一個通透的玻璃盒子座落於公共區域中央,成為書房與鸚鵡活動區的共融場域。玻璃延續了空間的視覺穿透與採光,搭配弧形鐵件和半高櫃體的層次配置,形造出虛實融合、遞進式的空間關係。自由切換模式的使用特性,於隔音、收納與共居需求間,達成微妙的平衡點。
 
 

Light is another key element. Facing east, the home captures both morning light and a wide view of the mountain ridge. In addition to generous daylight, the lighting design traces the path of light through the space. Linear fixtures echo the movement of sunlight, creating a soft rhythm of shadows throughout the day. Combined with a palette of white, beige, and light oak, this approach shapes a calm and breathable atmosphere that changes gently with time.

 
 
光線則是另一個設計主軸。面東的基地特性,將大片山景與晨光一併攬入室內。我們不僅導入充沛的自然光,更將光的轉折軌跡納入考量,以線型照明回應光影的流轉。光感成為時序感知的媒介,透過影跡變化與細節轉折,區分生活場景,連同白色、杏色與淺橡木構成的溫潤基調,營造出輕盈沉靜的家居氛圍。
 
 

The parrots live cage-free, which led to a flight path designed specifically for their needs. By adjusting the height of cabinets and defining safe landing spots, the design encourages the birds to perch on tabletops and light fixtures rather than harder-to-reach areas. This not only supports their daily activity but also makes daily care and upkeep more effortless.

 
 
鸚鵡在家中自由放飛的習性,促使我們量身訂製專屬的飛行及停棲路徑。透過櫃體高度的調整與設置適宜的落腳區,引導鸚鵡們集中停棲在桌面與吊燈等指定位置,也讓日常的清潔與照護,多了幾分從容。
