你都怎麼度過你的週末?睡到自然醒,享受鮪魚蛋大冰奶和365天全年無休的帥哥/美女待遇,睡衣拖鞋扮相告昭世人「假日就是要耍廢」的率性浪漫,還是一週當五天的灰姑娘/灰男孩,週末一到立刻華麗變身,午夜鐘聲響起馬上得打回原形。

How do you spend your weekend? Maybe sleeping in, enjoying your Sunday brunch with your cozy pajamas, or transforming glamorously into Cinderella on Friday night and changing back to your office outfit as soon as the midnight bell rings.

香蕉同居中住著來自不同背景與不同生活習慣的人們,不管大家週末想要怎麼過,一群原本不相識的人總是能找到共同的熱情,一起嘗試不同的活動,讓說長不長說短不短的週末更豐富了一些。比起一個人住,現在想做什麼事永遠不怕揪不到人,讓家不只是座屋簷,還是一段生活的體驗。

In Banana Co-living, there are roommates from various of backgrounds, no matter how you want to spend your weekend, we can always try to find the common passion of a group of people, making your weekend a little more rewarding. Unlike living alone by yourself, you can alway find a company to take on a small adventure, making home more than a place to stay, but a stream of memories and experience.

燃燒手作魂

乾燥花老師授課

最近乾燥花手作席捲各大市集與許多個性小店,一個手綁花束大多價格不菲,幾位對乾燥花有興趣的室友們,一同邀請了花藝工作者讓大家了解各種常見的乾燥花材,和基本的花藝技巧,以及以後可以自己DIY製作乾燥花的方式。原本以為共同生活已經熟識的室友們,在創作的過程中又能見到彼此不同的一面。

Dried flower bouquet has become pretty pricy as it’s popularity grows. A couple of tenants joined to invite a florist to teach everyone some common knowledge about dried flowers and how to make them. In the events, roommates get to see each others creative side and make the bond of the community grow stronger.

時光膠囊保齡球趴

一起動動筋骨,穿越時光回到八零年代的台北,想像父母年輕時候的樣子也曾在這樣的地方有過他們的青春歲月。某個炎熱的下午大夥兒來到這座五十年歷史的保齡球館,分隊時大家都莫名有鬥志的向球場運動員一樣互嗆,但大家似乎都不太擅長這個復古的運動,分別用奇形怪狀的姿勢洗溝,搭配五十年歷史的兩光計分板,勝負也不用太在意,這些與室友的回憶想必也會一起被封存在這時光膠囊裡。

If you ever get bored of exercising alone, grab your roommates to travel back in the 80’s to a bowling alley where your parent might spent their youth and get your workout done! In the bowling alley which has been here for over half a century, people getting the retro vibe with some 80’s tunes with the scoreboard that doesn’t really work and have a piece of great memory in this time capsule.

走到哪裡,香蕉就是你的家Wherever you go, Banana Co-living can be your home

雖然不住在從小長大的家裡了,但不是有句話這麼說:Home is where the heart is. 在二三十歲這半生不熟的歲月裡,我們在這心之所向揮霍青春,點起蠟燭放肆的慶祝時間在生命留下痕跡,繼續當個孩子;我們也能在這學習長大,開始從記憶資料庫尋找孩提時家的味道,讓孩子版的自己教自己如何成為大人。

People always say that home is where your heart is. In the 20s and 30s of our life, when we are so far away from our childhood, yet not fully arrived to adulthood, we put our hearts in lighting up candles and celebrating youth as if we were still kids, and learning to grow through memories our family gave us in our childhood at the same time.

來到香蕉同居中,像家人一樣只要聚在一起就是最好度過悠閒週末的方式,來自獨特的我們拿出不同的回憶作為一磚一瓦,開始搭起屬於所有人的家。

Coming here in Banana Co-living, maybe simply spending time together is the best way to spend weekends, and build a place with memories as bricks where we call home.
