有別於傳統的空間比例，本案室內空間與戶外庭院空間的比例大約是1:3，因此將戶外與室內做結合與延伸是設計上直覺想到的手法。業主是一對堅持健康、原味且專業的料理節目主持人KEVIN & CLAIRE，他們對於這個空間的期許，是除了居住之外，還能提供電視台作為拍攝料理節目的場景，並希望攝影時能結合戶外的庭園空間作互動。

狹小的室內空間需要容納這麼多機能是這個設計的一大挑戰，由於本案空間樓高約有4米，基於空間使用的需求，必須要有一些夾層空間，但此設計屏除傳統夾層隔間的作法，將夾層營造為飄浮的樓板，並且將其打散、做出高低層次，依空間使用的功能(並考慮一樓空間機能所需的高度)分為睡眠區及另一側的服務區(包含衣物間及浴室)，兩塊樓板中央的挑空區塊讓一樓空間仍有向上延伸的效果，並且可以供攝影師由上方向下拍攝。

一樓的主軸是中央的大中島廚具，後方即為庭院空間，兩個大面的落地摺疊門打開後，即可將背景整個延伸到戶外，設計師將庭院做出幾個高低的層次變化，一方面讓空間更具趣味及多樣性，另一方面是藉此做出空間的區隔，分為用餐區、烤肉區、香草種植區及溫室等空間，KEVIN & CLAIRE也善用了這個空間，種植了數十種的香草及蔬果，於攝影時便可現場摘取烹煮，真的營造出台北市裡的一處開心農場。

Different from the conventional proportion of spatial deployment ”KC Garden” is an apartment with only one third of interior space. This brought a challenge where the challenge meant a great opportunity to explore a new way of living style.

The people who dwell here are a couple, Kevin and Claire, who host a TV cooking show and are gaining popularity. They hope this apartment is not just a place for them to live, but also a venue for the show. Also the uniqueness of apartment should convey a message that healthy lifestyle and a good diet is close to the way of life.

To provide for so many pragmatic requirements, the space needed a big change. Two separated mezzanine levels were built; one is for the couple’s bedroom and the other is for a storage space and bathroom. An open spot in between the two mezzanine floors can be used to lift up a TV camera that allows for shooting at every angle including a bird-eye’s view.

The main “element” of the apartment is an island style kitchen against a window facing the outdoor view. The balcony garden is divided into several zones at different heights; one is used as a spice gardens, one for a small green house, the other is used as a BBQ and dining deck. The extra expanding balcony garden has many edible vegetables, fruits and spices as the garden also provides food ingredients for the TV show.

Landscaping was a very important measurement for the design. Even the apartment needs to satisfy living function, it emphasized how dieting habits put great influence on space, and a living space can explain pretty well the value of life and its content.
