“Benediction,” drawn from a classic poem by Tagore, is gently placed on the entryway wall. Each time the door opens, it feels as though one is stepping into a poem softly wrapped in blessings.
During the design process, we invited the homeowners to leave their own creative imprint on the house. They shared this poem, carrying their wishes for their children and for the family. We transformed that sentiment into the first scene of the entryway—a quiet and tender mark that welcomes the family of four each time they step through the door.
《Benediction》來自泰戈爾經典詩篇的祝福，被安穩地掛在玄關牆上，每天回家推開大門的時候，就像踏入一首被祝福輕輕覆蓋的詩。
設計討論過程中，我們邀請屋主一同為家留下「屬於他們的創作痕跡」，屋主分享了這首詩，承載著他們對孩子與家庭的祝願。我們將這份情感化為玄關的第一幕，成為一家四口每天推開門時迎接的溫柔印記。
Like carved relief, the textured surface quietly inscribes a poem. With a gentle tone, it blesses a child’s pure heart—capturing their love for their mother and the sun, and the innocence and grace they bring to the world—a sincere tribute to life and love.
如雕刻般的凹凸紋理，將詩意悄然刻下。這首詩以溫柔筆觸，祝福孩子純淨的心，描繪他對母親與陽光的依戀，以及為世界帶來的清澈與神聖，是對生命與愛最真摯的祝福。
Moving through the corridor, a piano stands quietly in a corner of the living room. It is the lady of the house’s dowry, a constant companion to everyday life. As fingertips touch the keys, the notes begin to flow gently, drifting across the living room and unfolding softly in the air.
穿越廊道，客廳一隅靜靜佇立著一台鋼琴。那 是女主人的嫁妝，長久陪伴著家的日常。當指尖落下，音符便輕輕流動，穿過客廳，在空氣中緩緩展開。
The homeowner needed a place where he could focus on work, yet didn’t want to step away from the rhythm of family life.
So instead of tucking the study deep into a corridor, it was placed within sight of the living room.
男主人需要一個可以專心工作的地方，同時又不想完全離開家人的生活軌道。於是書房沒有被藏進走廊深處，而是被放在客廳視線可以抵達的位置。
Light filters gently through the study, weaving the spaces together. Each family member moves within their own rhythm, sharing the same sunlight; without words, they can still sense one another’s presence and a quiet sense of comfort.
光線透過書房靜靜灑入，將空間彼此串聯。 家人各自在生活的節奏中流動，共享同一片陽光，無需言語，也能感知彼此的存在與安心。

The homeowner says that wine needs time to quietly contemplate its future. Placed in a calm, undisturbed corner, it breathes slowly, becoming what it is meant to be. Yet wine also fears loneliness—it is not meant to be forgotten in the corner, but to be opened one evening and sit at the table with people.
男主人說，紅酒們需要時間冷靜地思考自己的未來。被放在安靜、不被打擾的地方，慢慢地呼吸，慢慢地變成它們終究會成為的樣子。但紅酒同時又害怕孤獨。它們不適合被遺忘在角落，還是需要在某個晚上，被打開，和人類一起坐在餐桌旁。
The homeowner says the bar counter is where joyful baking moments with the children unfold—flour drifting through the air, butter slowly melting, laughter rising and falling, and aromas gently spreading, leaving behind an invisible trace of those shared moments.
女主人說，吧檯是與小孩們的歡樂烘焙時光，麵粉飛揚、奶油慢慢融化，笑聲在空氣裡膨脹又落下，香氣緩緩擴散，替這段時光留下看不見的記號。

Opening the door hidden behind the sofa feels like stepping into a quiet secret garden.
Bottles and jars on the vanity gently touch one another, coats whisper against the hangers, the bathtub faucet drips slowly, and steam beads slide down the tiles. Immersed in warm water, reading a book, as the pages turn, the world shrinks to just the right size.
推開那扇隱身在沙發背後的門，像走進一座靜謐的祕密花園。
化妝桌上瓶瓶罐罐輕輕碰觸，大衣在衣架上低聲摩擦，浴缸龍頭緩慢流動，蒸氣水珠沿著磁磚滑落。泡在溫熱的水裡，看一本書，頁面翻動時，世界縮成剛剛好的大小。
“Bless this little heart, this white soul that has won the kiss of heaven for our earth.”
「祝福這顆幼小純潔的心靈，它帶著上天的光落在我們的土地上。」
