And I thought when it's located next to the forest we should create a tree house because it's something that is quite dreamy and at the same time very cozy.

而當我們處於森林旁，可以蓋一個樹屋，因為它既夢幻又舒適。

The apartment is located in the middle of Hong Kong.

這間公寓位於香港的中心。

There's not much of greenery area especially in the center of the city.

因為在市中心，所以沒有太多綠地。

So we actually really treasured a moment when we actually have an opportunity to build an apartment next to the hillside.

所以我們很珍視這能在山腰旁蓋一棟小公寓的機會。

This apartment is 33 square meters for the interior.

這公寓內裝 33 平方公尺。

Four square meters for the balcony.

陽台為 4 平方公尺。

I live in the apartment with my dog and we each have our own corners.

我和狗狗住在這棟公寓，且我們都有自己的空間。

The apartment is bought three years ago.

這棟公寓大概是三年前購入的。

At that time it was a one-bedroom apartment and what I've done here is I demolished the partitioning wall and built a tree house.

當時它是個單臥房公寓，於是我打通牆壁，蓋了一間樹屋。

After you kind of break the wall, it created like a panoramic view that frames the outside.

在我們把牆拆掉之後，整個外頭的景觀就寬闊了起來。

I think a lot of the challenges comes in to like working with the existing built that is being provided by the apartment that when I purchased.

許多挑戰其實都是來自於與原本當我購買時的建築格局配合。

For the kitchen, they made it out of brass and wood.

廚房，他們是使用黃銅與木頭製作的。

And that's why I want to keep it, because there's a already a very nice kitchen.

所以我想要保留廚房，因為它原本就很棒了。

We only have like a simple dark blue color to echo the kitchen.

我們只簡單加了深藍色在廚房上。

To highlight the gold, and not have it overtly too bling.

來強調黃銅色，又不會讓它太過閃爍。

And at the same time, put in a few elements which is custom that is gold also like the Tom Dixon light adjacent to the sofa.

同時，加入一些客製的金色元素，如沙發旁的 Tom Dixon 燈具。

A lot of people saying that in a small apartment, you shouldn't be using very dark colors.

許多人說在小公寓不該使用非常深的顏色。

It really kind of depends on what kind of situation you are in.

但其實這取決於你處於什麼樣的情況。

If you're trying to frame the view of the outside, so the outside should take precedence as opposed to the inside.

如果你是想突顯外面的景色，那外頭的景色就應該比裡面更加搶眼。

It actually helps you connect yourself to the outside.

這可以幫助你與外頭產生連結。

I brought in the Patricia Urquiola terracotta tiles and clad the outskirt of it, and it worked perfectly with the timber frame.

我買了設計師 Patricia Urquiola 的赤土陶磚，把外面重新上色，它們與木料搭配得很好。

Also, the dark and the light is about creating sequences.

深色與淺色的搭配也是為了空間序列。

Downstairs of the treehouse is only six foot and upstairs is four foot.

樹屋下方只有六英尺高 (約 180 公分) 而上層樹屋約四英尺高 (約 120 公分)。

It actually allows me to host dinner parties below the tree house.

這能讓我有足夠的空間在樹屋下舉辦餐會。

When you get up to the tree house, all side of the walls including the ceiling is all clad in pinewood.

當你上到樹屋，包含天花板的每一面都蓋上了松木。

And when you're inside the space, you have a really tiny slit of window that kind of looks out into the forest, feels really cozy.

當你在樹屋裡的空間時，會看到一個非常窄長的窗戶，讓你可以看進森林，非常舒適。

One side of the wall was part of the closets.

其中一面牆也是衣櫃的一部分。

So what I did to the closet is the lower part I clad it in paints that matched the dark blue paint downstairs.

我處理衣櫃的方式是，下半部我漆上深藍色來搭配樓下的色調。

So when you're in the lower level, you feel like you're in one space.

所以當你在下層時，會覺得自己在一個空間。

But when you actually get to the upper level, it's all kinda in timber, so you already feel like you're in another space.

而當你到上層時，全部都會是木質的，所以你會覺得到了另一個空間。

Because they want to minimize any vertical element in the kitchen, they've divided it into two under counter fridge.

因為他們想最少化廚房裡直立式的元素，所以他們使用了兩個工作台冰箱。

So one side is the freezer and the other one is just a normal fridge.

其中一個是冷凍庫，另一個是冷藏。

It is very quiet living next to the forest, and it's very convenient because it's in the middle of Hong Kong.

住在森林旁很寧靜，同時也很方便，因為位置在香港的中心。

And it is nice to actually be able to look into something other than concrete in Hong Kong.

且在香港可以看看除了水泥大樓以外的東西也很好。

So we really want to treasure this--that kind of view when you're in here.

所以在這裡時，真的會想珍惜這般的景觀。
