城市是水泥叢林，面對的岔路與選擇太多，身處其中的我們於是成為自己的迷宮，在獲得與失去之間兩難，有人惶惑，有人來回奔走，都是為了找尋一個能安放自己的庇護所。

在這個不規則形狀的格局平面之中，透過調整空間軸線，試圖從不規則中找出一些規則；利用減法設計，將不必要的隔間剔除，製造出一些開口，延續原有的窗景，將室外引入室內，消弭界線的同時，也讓光線與視線得以延伸。捨棄了天花板與牆面的包覆，露出樑面系統，將畫面大量留白，僅適度加入深色的礦物塗料和石材，斟酌無機與本質的平衡，捕捉靜態與流動，在不鏽鋼的映射下，量體間自然產生的虛實面，也讓空間回歸純粹。

迷宮曲折，每一個路口都通往未知，生活的難處時常是想要預測結果究竟是祝福或是遺憾，然而，是選擇讓我們成為我們，脆弱與無畏可以同時並存，不論捨棄或是緊握，只要繼續前行，時光就不算虛度，正如奔跑的我們，也未曾將自己辜負。

Wu Wei: Embracing the Natural Flow of Space and Life

The city is a jungle of concrete, overflowing with choices and crossroads. Immersed in this chaotic landscape, we often find ourselves lost in the labyrinth of our own making—torn between gain and loss, uncertain whether to hold on or let go. Some wander in confusion, while others race back and forth, all in search of a place to rest their soul.

Within the irregular layout of this space, the design seeks to reveal harmony by aligning with the natural flow. Through careful adjustments to spatial axes, patterns emerge effortlessly from asymmetry. Following the principle of Wu Wei, unnecessary partitions are removed, creating openings that allow natural light and outdoor views to flow freely indoors. Boundaries dissolve, and spaces extend naturally, inviting both light and sightlines to wander without restriction.

Rather than covering ceilings and walls, the design leaves beams exposed, creating deliberate negative space. Subtle touches—dark mineral finishes and stoneaccents—are introduced sparingly, balancing raw materials with organic textures.

The design avoids forced complexity, allowing each element to remain in its most authentic state, following the Dao: the way things are meant to be. Reflections from stainless steel enhance the interplay between volume and void, producing a seamless rhythm between what is present and what is absent, fixed and flowing.

Life, like a maze, is full of unexpected twists and turns. We often struggle to predict whether our choices will bring joy or regret. But Wu Wei teaches that clarity comes not from control or exertion, but from moving with the natural flow of things, avoiding resistance against the natural order. Fragility and courage can coexist, andwhether we let go or hold on, forward movement ensures that no moment is wasted.

Just as we continue to move toward the unknown, we remain true to ourselves—never truly lost.
