以「島嶼」為核心，在空間中置落一座浮島，島上岩石與綠樹佇立，包容亦動亦靜的各項行為，是孩童們自在探索與發展的一方天地。將之意向深入宅邸，一道樸實灰泥的圓弧半牆矗立，簡單定調區域功能，入口處墨綠量體與書櫃沈穩地相互凝視，溫潤的木質基調滲透其中，保持不過重的色彩下營造空間氛圍，呼應設計核心，創造自由奔放的生活節奏。

櫃體圍塑玄關，引導入門動線，地面磁磚以此延伸至餐廳及廚房，櫃體整合及圓弧收邊模糊柱樑存在，簡潔有力地收整各材質，使視覺乾淨舒服。此外，重視空間通透性與光線的流動力，電視牆及玄關鞋櫃皆為半牆形式存在，百葉及透光紗簾玩味光影變化，宛如為空間注入潺潺生命力。

With the core concept of an “island” in this interior design, a floating island where rocks and lush trees stand together is placed to accommodate various kinds of daily behaviors, enabling kids to explore around the house at their own pace. By extending the said concept to other areas in the home, a simple-looking curved plaster half-wall is erected to add functionality to this area. At the entryway, the dark-green furniture and bookshelves are located in front of each other while a subdued natural wood tone permeates the space, creating a soft, inviting atmosphere that is based upon the core concept of this design: creating a free, vivacious life on the terms of the home dwellers. 

The entryway is surrounded by cabinets as its floor is paved with stylish tiles that help to create a smooth flow between the door and the kitchen and dining area. The cabinets with round edges are joined together to create a softer feel to the house, making the columns and beams look visually appealing while adding clean-cut lines and dimension to the space. Additionally, the half-height of the TV wall and shoe cabinets at the entryway helps to improve air and light permeability around the home. Blinds and light filtering muslin curtains ate installed to highlight the interplay of light and shadow so as to instill vitality into the space.
