家，不只是居住：2025 年革新生活方式的家居時尚潮流 從永續建築到社區連結，未來住宅回歸自然與人文，重新定義生活美學 新的一年，室內設計與建築領域迎來全新篇章。2025 年的設計潮流不僅僅注重外在的視覺美感，更強調生活方式的深層意義，回應人們對健康、永續發展以及人與自然、社區深度連結的渴望。家，正逐漸成為自然、冥想與科技和諧融合的心靈棲息地。由營造寧靜的靜養空間到充滿活力的步行友善型社區，未來的居住理念以治癒且充滿意義的方式悄然改變人們的日常生活。 靜謐角落 2025 年的家居設計，將從單純的度假式美感轉向真正關懷身心的靜養空間。無論是冥想室、閱讀角或是安靜的休憩區域，這些私密空間成為快節奏生活中的心靈驛站。位於美國馬里蘭州鳳凰城的溫登莊園 ( Wynddon Estate in Phoenix )，以精美的木質裝飾和通透的大窗，打造出一處靜謐的閱讀角落，窗外郁郁蔥蔥的花園景致散發著平和從容的生活氛圍。這樣細膩的設計，讓家成為真正的悠然隱世之所。 自然的無界之美 隨著人們對自然的渴望日益高漲，建築設計逐漸模糊室內與室外的界線，讓陽光、空氣與綠意流淌在居住空間中，帶來身心的舒適與寧靜。倫敦 Paul Archer Design 事務所總監 Emil Neumann 指出：「內外無界的建築，不僅提升居住體驗，更為生活增添詩意。」 墨西哥城郊的 Casa Lomas Country Club，便完美詮釋了這一理念。由建築大師 Manolo Mestre 與 Lorena Vieyra 聯手打造，住宅採用風水設計原則，寬敞的滑動玻璃門將室內空間與周圍森林無縫連接，光影與綠意交織，營造出恬靜通透的度假氛圍。 色彩與材質的戲劇碰撞 極簡主義漸漸退場後，2025 年的家居設計將回歸深邃且富有戲劇感的色彩與質感。深色木材、奢華大理石以及寶石色調的家具軟裝，營造出低調又優雅的奢華氛圍。美國馬薩諸塞州韋斯頓 ( Weston, Massachusetts ) 的一處歷史宅邸，以精緻的木飾牆面和黑色大理石壁爐，展現沉穩內斂的視覺美感；祖母綠窗簾與紅寶石色抱枕的點綴，加上藝術裝飾 Art Deco 風格燈具，增添永恆的藝術韻味。 智能與永續 永續理念依然是 2025 年家居設計的主軸，被動式設計策略成為住宅環保性能的關鍵標準。從自然通風到高熱容量建材，這些設計不僅能降低能源消耗，更賦予空間更深層的生態美學。位於加州柏克萊 ( Berkeley, California ) 的 Nest House，以混凝土牆體為核心，充分利用自然熱能儲存與釋放。其獨特的木紋質感隨著光影變化流動，展現時間流轉的美感，真正實現了自然與建築的共生共榮。 便捷與歸屬感的共鳴 後疫情時代，人們對社區連結與便利生活的需求日益增加，友善型社區步行區因此成為家居時尚潮流的核心焦點。例如，美國德州奧斯汀 ( Austin, Texas ) 的 Sixth & Blanco 專案，由知名建築事務所 Herzog & de Meuron 設計，將高端住宅、精品酒店、餐飲與商業空間融為一體，並穿插庭院、露台與綠植，創造出一個充滿活力的城市步行中心。全球房產顧問 Kumara Wilcoxon 指出：「對現代人來說，地理位置的價值不僅在於距離，更在於它所帶來的情感與生活體驗。步行友善型社區已成為新的奢華象徵，讓生活更加便利、富有互動性，並充滿歸屬感。」。 文章節錄自 蘇富比國際房地產 Luxury Outlook           THE TRENDS THAT WILL DEFINE 2025 From sustainable architecture to community connections, home trends for 2025 are all about spaces that nurture well-being, writes Mandi Keighran With the new year arriving, interior design and architecture trends look set to emphasize intentional living, driven by an ongoing cultural shift towards wellness, sustainability and meaningful connection with both community and nature. Beyond simply surface-level aesthetics, these trends embrace a more holistic approach. Homes are increasingly designed as sanctuaries that integrate nature, mindfulness and technology in innovative ways, enhancing everyday life. From calming retreats that offer an alternative to open-plan living to walkable neighborhoods that foster active communities, these five home trends for 2025 center on restorative and meaningful environments. Spaces for retreat The concept of wellness in the home may not be new, but 2025 will see this evolve from resort-style amenities to embrace holistic wellbeing. A desire for dedicated retreat spaces—such as meditation rooms and reading nooks—is set to increase, offering sanctuary from our digital distractions and fast-paced world. Wynddon Estate in Phoenix, Maryland, features a beautifully crafted reading alcove, framed by wood paneling and large windows overlooking the lush grounds. Such an example showcases how even the most luxurious of homes are thoughtfully integrating spaces for quiet contemplation. Hybrid inside-outside properties In climates that allow it, people are finding more ways to blend indoor comfort with the beauty of nature, creating spaces that open up into the outdoors. These designs feature seamless transitions that allow abundant light, fresh air and greenery—all proven to support wellbeing—to flow into living spaces. “Architecture that dissolves boundaries between inside and outside is all about adding value—both to property and everyday life,” says Emil Neumann, director at London-based Paul Archer Design. “It’s luxurious to be connected to nature. Nothing is more thrilling than being exposed to the elements in an unusual way—from a retractable roof above the shower to an outdoor kitchen or a spa zone that flows from inside to out.” Casa Lomas Country Club, on the outskirts of Mexico City, is a stunning showcase of this approach. Designed by architects Manolo Mestre and Lorena Vieyra, the home integrates feng shui principles with expansive spaces that open to verdant forests. With an interior characterized by enormous sliding glass doors that lead to spacious terraces, the home blurs boundaries to create a tranquil, immersive retreat. Dark opulence The new year sees a growing desire for interiors featuring deep, dramatic colors and sumptuous textures—a boldly sophisticated palette that defies minimalism’s stark neutrality. This trend signals a shift towards moody environments that exude elegance. At a historic home in Weston, Massachusetts, a wood-paneled lounge envelops the occupant in a kind of glamorous, dark opulence. The space is anchored by a striking black marble fireplace that is complemented by jewel-toned textiles—including emerald-green drapes and ruby-red cushions—while art deco lighting adds timeless flair. Smart yet passive homes Sustainability will continue to dominate design in 2025—and as eco-consciousness rises, homes that utilize passive cooling and heating strategies will set the standard for future living. These residences emphasize low energy consumption through shading, natural ventilation and materials with high thermal mass (the ability to absorb, store and release heat)—all of which reduce the need for carbon-emitting mechanical systems. Both traditional craftsmanship, drawing on elemental design strategies, and advanced technologies—such as sensors that can automatically shade windows in direct sunlight—play pivotal roles. A striking example of this is Nest House in Berkeley, California, designed by Artifact Collaborative. Bridgett Shank, the firm’s co-founder, notes that as the need for climate resilience grows, employing passive design strategies “should be the first priority. These strategies can also inform the design and be expressed in ways that enhance our connection to the environment.” At Nest House, a concrete wall anchors the east side of the home and acts as a thermal mass. Throughout the day, light interacts with its textured surface—imprinted with the grain of wooden planks used to mold it—creating a “dynamic visual display that marks the passage of time,” says Shank. Walkable neighborhoods As people increasingly value proximity to local amenities and social connections—particularly in the wake of the pandemic—so walkable, community-driven neighborhoods are more sought-after. With everything on your doorstep, such mixed-use developments, blending residential, commercial and recreational areas, help foster a sense of belonging, while reducing residents’ reliance on cars, in turn promoting a more active lifestyle and protecting the environment. Sixth & Blanco Homes in Austin’s historic Clarksville neighborhood embodies this vision. Co-developed by MML Hospitality and Riverside Resources, this five-story project by renowned architecture practice Herzog & de Meuron features 10 luxury residences, alongside curated retail, restaurants, a bespoke hotel and spa. Built using a sustainable timber structure, the design prioritizes pedestrian connectivity—with courtyards, terraces and greenery—creating a vibrant, walkable urban hub. “ We’re witnessing a profound urban transformation where location is no longer just about geography, it’s about connection, ” says global real estate advisor Kumara Wilcoxon, who is offering a four-bedroom property at Sixth & Blanco. “ Post-pandemic, buyers are seeking neighborhoods that are ecosystems of experience. Walkable communities have become the new luxury, offering convenience, interaction and a sense of belonging. ” Source: Sotheby's International Realty.
