罗耕甫坚持理性主义的设计原则，注重设计与环境间的互动关系，他认为保持设计热情的方式就是学习学习再学习。在他身上能够看到一位专业设计师所该具备的品质，以及对未来设计发展趋势的独到见解。

安静，自然，理性，初见设计师罗耕甫的作品，便被其深深吸引，一如他本人，安静内敛，低调谦和，曾有媒体评价他“低调又有实力”。不走寻常路的他从高雄医学院毕业后，开启了他的设计生涯。

多年来，他始终坚守对空间的思考和探索。设计作品屡屡在国际设计大奖赛中绽放异彩，他理想中的设计是实现自然与人的和谐相融，身为一名设计师，他认为好的环境是一个有机的整体，从建筑到室内都应拥有一致性的设计，做到相互交融，追求自然与建筑合一的理想境界，这是罗耕甫对于空间的理解，也是他对于设计的期许。

深受意大利建筑大师伦佐•皮亚诺(Renzo Piano)影响的罗耕甫，对于建筑艺术、技术以及建筑周围环境的结合都极为注重，在对传统的继承和改造的基础上，大胆创新、勇于突破。 

这座名为伊甸绿洲的住宅位于台南市的大道旁，与主干道相连，却被奢华的大自然包围着。“房子由一个 U 形玻璃外壳固定，让大自然成为邻居，并提供生活在森林中的错觉。”橙田建筑创始人兼董事总经理罗耕甫说：我们没有在房产中设置围栏，通过在内外部结合自然景观来创造多重隐私性极强的空间。”

Situated just off the thoroughfare in Tainan City, this home — named Eden Oasis — is well connected to arterial roads yet cocooned in luxurious nature. ‘The home is held in by a U-shaped glass enclosure, making nature a neighbour and offering the illusion of living in a forest as opposed to just off an urban highway,’ says Keng-Fu Lo, founder and managing director of Chain10 Architecture & Interior Design Institute, who was enlisted by the homeowner, a young professional, to give the villa a sanctuary-style makeover. ‘We didn’t fence in the property so it was important to create multiple veils of privacy by incorporating natural landscaping along the interior and exterior.’

为了模糊自然与建筑形式之间的界限，罗耕甫采用了极简主义的设计语言。立面呈现黑白色调，取消传统的窗户，取而代之的是从整面的钢化玻璃。“建筑外部的金属框架为树木的生长留出了空间，并在未来几年对居住的隐私性有很大提升。”他说。这一系列以自然为重点的干预措施最大化应用自然光。“我们确保日光从白天到黑夜稳定传播，最大限度地减少对人工照明的需求。”

In an attempt to blur the line between nature and the built form, Lo espoused a minimalist design language. The facade, for example, was pared down to a black and white palette, while traditional windows were eschewed in favour of floor-to-ceiling tempered glass. ‘Metal slats over the front walkway also leave room for trees to grow in and add even more privacy in the years to come,’ he says. The series of nature-focused interventions is underpinned by an effort to amplify natural light. ‘We oriented the home in a way that ensures a steady progression of sunlight from day to night, minimising the need for artificial lighting.’ 

为了与柔和的外部保持一致，内部空间亦呈现“少即是多”。柔和的色彩和简单的装饰连通室内外空间。对于地板，罗耕甫分别在公共空间和私人空间做了一定的区别，公区选择再生石材，后者选择木地板。
In keeping with the subdued exterior, the interior spaces deliver a fitting lesson in ‘less is more’. Muted colours and simple decor lend an airy spirit that nods to the outdoors. For the floors, Lo drew a visual distinction between the communal and private spaces by choosing recycled stone for the former and wooden panels for the latter.

在台湾文化中，常见设置了2个烹饪区：一个西餐岛台和中厨区。餐厅被落地窗和法式门包围，打开时，营造出迷人的户外用餐氛围。“通过与自然界的连接，将许多元素引入室内，形成一个人与环境和谐共处的最佳住宅。”

As is common in Taiwanese culture, the home has two kitchens: an open-plan preparation and storage space with a cantilevered breakfast bar, and behind it, a traditional Eastern cooking chamber that doubles as a butler’s pantry. The dining room is enveloped by full-height windows and French doors, which, when opened, channel a charming al fresco dining vibe. ‘The natural world holds so many benefits, and with such interventions, we were able to invite the elements into the house,’ says Lo.

同样，起居区和用餐区使用中性色调，而温暖的质地则赋予卧室舒适、朴实的魅力。裸露的承重墙增添了质朴的感觉。
Similarly, the living and dining areas sport a neutral shell, whereas a textural warmth gives the bedrooms a cosy, earthy appeal. On both levels, a floating column that was part of the original structure is left bare to add a rustic touch to the straight-lined setting.
