本案基地正對著臺灣淡水河遼闊的出海口，佔據紅樹林水岸第一線的絕佳位置，享有國際級的生態景觀。清風徐來，水波不興，由知名日本建築師丹下憲孝打造的豪邸建築，猶如蓄勢待發的遊艇，在塵世與歸隱之間，傍水而居、枕山而眠，宛若為住家設下了結界，讓物質與身心維度在寧靜的氛圍中同處共生。
Situated at the expansive Tamsui River estuary in Taiwan, this project occupies a prime waterfront spot within the mangrove forest, providing a breathtaking view of international ecological landscapes. Crafted by renowned Japanese architect Paul Noritaka Tange, the mansion evokes the elegance of a poised yacht, balancing between the hustle of the world and serene seclusion, nestled by the water's edge and embraced by the mountains. It feels as though a protective shield has been cast over the residence, harmoniously blending material and spiritual aspects within a serene ambiance.
「生活如同一片廣袤的大海，時而波瀾湧動，時而寧靜如鏡， 我們乘著船隻航行前進、遊歷冒險，領略沿途的海域與風景，最終尋找到屬於自己的避風港。」設計者「航行」作為一種人生解讀，以遊艇意向構築室內空間，並將山海之美書寫納入，既創造出自然裡的療癒生活，亦叩應家是避風港的溫暖寓意。
"Life is like a vast ocean, sometimes turbulent, sometimes calm as a mirror. We sail forward on our ships, exploring adventures, experiencing the sea and scenery along the way, ultimately finding our own safe harbor." The designer interprets life as a "voyage," constructing interior spaces inspired by the concept of yachts, incorporating the beauty of mountains and seas, creating a healing lifestyle within nature, embodying the warm symbolism of home as a safe haven.
循著遊艇的設計語境，透過雙動線梳理出空間廓形，分別為眺望河景的室內風景線，以及從大門入口通往更衣間的走廊，兩兩平行對視，猶似遊艇的左舷及右舷，而位於中央的客餐廳，則順勢形成穩定且功能獨立的船身看臺。主臥房特別安排了兩個出入口，將靈活的動線化為觀景廊道，讓天幕、河景與陽光得以貫穿整個空間脈絡。
Following the context of yacht design, the spatial form is outlined through dual sightlines: one facing the river view indoors and the other, a corridor leading from the entrance to the dressing room. These parallel lines resemble the port and starboard of a yacht. The central dining room, acting as a stable and functionally independent ship deck, forms a viewing platform. The master bedroom has two entrances, transforming flexible pathways into scenic corridors, allowing the sky, river view, and sunlight to penetrate the entire spatial context.
此外，空間以遊艇標誌性的前艙、甲板為意象，透過藝術化的詮釋，呈現出奢雅、放鬆的休閒渡假調性。天花以自由富有律動性的弧形，呼應起伏有致的河流波浪，借助自由靈動的形態框定空間，也為生活注入儀式感和寧靜的詩意。
The space draws inspiration from the iconic bow and deck of a yacht, presenting a luxurious and relaxing vacation ambiance through artistic interpretation. The ceiling adopts free-flowing, dynamic curved shapes, echoing the undulating waves of the river, framing the space with free and agile forms, infusing life with a sense of ritual and serene poetry.
