山林畫卷

Forest Landscape Scroll

擁抱一片漫山碧綠，家宅該是顯而易見的存在，還是融於自然的生活容器？尊重自然，最終成為這座住宅與山林共融的溫柔心意。伏於山坡上的建築，添入礦物形成墨色混凝土，謙遜地借重綠意作為場域主體，低調地隱於林綠，形成和諧的光景。李靜敏細心地將「自由」作為住居設計的核心，交織自然、迴游空間中體現家宅的靈魂。

Should a home stand out amidst the lush, rolling hills, or should it be a subtle vessel that merges seamlessly with nature? This residence, in its respectful embrace of nature, becomes a tender testament to coexistence with the forest. Situated on the hillside, the building incorporates minerals to create a deep, dark concrete, humbly using the surrounding greenery as its primary canvas, subtly blending into the woodland, creating a serene and harmonious tableau. Abraham Lee, with meticulous care, centers the design on the concept of 'freedom', interlacing natural elements and fluid spaces that truly encapsulate the spirit of the dwelling.

如同進行一場細膩的感官體驗，由下沉式的空間開展，引領思緒、體感緩緩褪去外在的喧囂，將感官歸於自然沉靜。從一座連結地面層的廊橋作為進入屋內的開端，伴隨兩側懸崖景觀與業主珍藏的藝品，為每個步行間鋪敘悠緩、如藝廊的雅致氛圍。空間借重落地窗延攬而入的光線、綠意，多面向的敞開將大自然作為巨大屏幕，轉角、移動間猶如一幕動態的四季景觀，這何嘗不是一席人們參與其中的生活風景。

As if embarking on a refined sensory journey, the experience unfolds in a recessed space, guiding thoughts and sensations to slowly peel away the external noise, returning the senses to a state of natural tranquility. The entry into the home begins with a bridge connected to the ground floor, bordered by breathtaking cliffside views and the homeowner's prized art collection, paving the way for a tranquil, gallery-like ambiance with each step. The design utilizes floor-to-ceiling windows to capture the incoming light and verdure, creating an open environment where nature serves as a grand canvas. Each corner turned and each step taken reveals dynamic, seasonally shifting vistas, offering a living landscape in which people immerse themselves.

從地面層明亮的接待空間逐步移動往下，階梯自然地界定了公、私領域，墨色系的天、地、壁凸顯自然柔光，將客廳起居空間轉化沉靜氛圍，移動之間可見屋主獨到美學鑑賞的家飾收藏，而開放廚房配置透露了業主夫婦好客的端倪，私領域前的一處靜心區成為夫婦睡前重要的儀式之一。來到底層的階梯再次將兩間臥室劃分於空間的兩端，使其保有各自隱私。起居空間的電視、澡堂前的盥洗檯面重新演繹蛇紋石的優雅風貌。空間一隅道地的日式和室，重現夫婦倆在日本留學的記憶，李靜敏將前緣挪用了與業主合作第二個案子餐廳裡的櫸木吧檯，作為和室的緣側。穿透障子門和紙的光線顯得柔和，隨著雪見障子自由地上下調整左右推移，模糊了與後庭的界線，詮釋日式文化中連結自然的細膩美學。空間的自然紋理、木質的溫潤、呼應戶外的天然景致，創造連綿不絕的樸質意境，流動於中的是心境的自由、是創造與自然環境間呼吸的餘韻。

Transitioning from the luminous reception area on the ground floor to the lower level, the staircase seamlessly defines the public and private realms. The dark hues of the ceiling, floor, and walls accentuate the gentle natural light, infusing the living room with a tranquil ambiance. Throughout the space, the homeowner's distinct taste in decor and art collection is prominently displayed. The open kitchen design subtly reveals the couple's penchant for hospitality, while a tranquil nook near the private areas becomes a cherished pre-sleep ritual. Descending to the lower level, the staircase distinctly allocates two bedrooms at opposite ends, preserving their privacy. The living area's TV stand surface and the washstand near the bathhouse creatively feature serpentinite, reinterpreting its texture. A genuine Japanese-style room, recalling the couple's memories of their time in Japan, is accented with a zelkova wood , repurposed by Abraham Lee from a previous collaboration with the homeowner, serving as the room's edge. The softly diffused light through the shoji doors and washi paper, along with the adjustable snow-viewing shoji, subtly blurs the line with the backyard, embodying the intricate aesthetic of connecting with nature inherent in Japanese culture. The room's natural textures, the warmth of the wood, and the reflection of the outdoor landscape create an unending rustic charm. Flowing through this space is the liberty of the mind, a resonant echo of the harmonious interplay between creativity and the natural surroundings.
