以客家文化中用於取暖的竹製提籃「火囪」為設計核心,將傳統暖爐意象轉化為現代空間語彙。空間中軸處配置一座長達 6.5 米的大型圓弧天花燈具,內部採用光膜模擬自然天光,呼應火囪散發的柔和熱能;外層則覆蓋橫向格柵,藉由遮蔽直射光以消除眩光。這座巨型裝置透過格柵縫隙使光影溢散,讓整座結構具備如呼吸般的視覺動態,如同火囪持續傳遞溫度;在提升視覺舒適度的同時,亦透過線性延伸強化空間縱深,將傳統智慧落實於當代機能美學之中。
立面色彩計畫選用源自客家「藍染」工藝的深靛色為主調,象徵客家族群沉穩內斂的性格。家具與裝飾融入大量藤編元素,致敬客家常民生活中的編織手工藝,利用藤材柔韌的質地,將傳統火囪的編織結構巧妙轉化為場域裝飾。整體空間設計強烈呼應了客家的文化底蘊與生活哲學,透過現代設計手法的轉譯,將原本屬於家庭私領域的溫暖延伸至公共用餐環境。
Centered on the “Huo Cong,” a traditional bamboo basket used for warmth in Hakka culture, the design transforms the imagery of the traditional hearth into a contemporary spatial language. At the central axis of the space stands a large-scale, curved ceiling installation measuring 6.5 meters in length. Its interior light membrane simulates natural daylight, echoing the gentle heat once emitted by the Huo Cong, while the exterior is wrapped in horizontal louvers that shield direct light and eliminate glare.
Light and shadow diffuse softly through the gaps between the louvers, giving the structure a breathing-like visual rhythm, as if continuously radiating warmth like the traditional hearth. Beyond enhancing visual comfort, the linear extension of the installation also reinforces the depth of the space, translating traditional wisdom into modern functional aesthetics.
The façade color scheme features deep indigo inspired by traditional Hakka blue-dyeing craftsmanship, symbolizing the calm and reserved character of the Hakka people. Furniture and decorative elements incorporate extensive rattan weaving, paying tribute to everyday Hakka handicrafts. The flexible texture of rattan cleverly reinterprets the woven structure of the Huo Cong as spatial ornamentation.
Overall, the design strongly reflects the cultural foundation and philosophy of Hakka life. Through contemporary design techniques, it extends the warmth once found in private domestic spaces into a shared public dining environment.
