元回藤
Yuanhuito
「一切世間諸所有物，皆即菩提妙眀元心。心精遍圓。含裹十方。」——《楞嚴經》。
"All phenomena in the universe are none other than the primordial heart of marvelous enlightenment, also known as Bodhi. The essence of this heart is perfectly spherical, containing all directions within."
- Śūraṅgama Mantra
見到「元回藤」這個名字，又聽聞女主人喜愛抄經，讓人憶起這兩句經文。萬物唯心造，而這由預售屋客變轉化完成的，或許即是業主夫婦倆反觀諸心，自在自明的最佳顯現。
Upon seeing the name 'Yuanhuito' and hearing of the mistress's penchant for transcribing scriptures, one is reminded of these lines: 'All phenomena are the creations of the mind alone.' This transformation achieved by the guests of the pre-sale house might just be the optimal embodiment of the homeowners' introspective journey into their hearts, illuminating a state of freedom and self-understanding.
心既明朗，便懂得隨心不從俗。合作初始，好客的平面設計師男主人，即要求捨去電視牆，並且希冀公領域不分客餐廳，讓來訪的客人，得以自在流動。於是，接下任務的元研制所設計總監張元和，便拋卻慣常分界思維，讓視野敞開無阻，打破工作室與私人住家疆界，開放空間的可能。便於來客使用的吧檯，以及與之相接、勾勒出回流動線的長型餐桌，都讓恬淡沉穩的居家意象，在落地窗外流進的綠意與日光之中，縈迴著不息的生氣。
With an enlightened mind, one learns to follow one's heart, uninhibited by the constraints of convention. At the inception of their collaboration, the welcoming homeowner, who is a graphic designer, expressed his wish to dispense with the TV wall and desired an undifferentiated public area, thus allowing guests to roam freely. Hence, Yuan Han Chang, the Design Director of YYZS who undertook the task, cast aside the traditional thinking of demarcation, opening up the vision unimpeded, breaking the boundaries between the studio and private residence, unlocking the potential of open spaces. and unlocking the possibilities of open spaces. The conveniently placed bar for visitors, along with the elongated dining table that interfaces with it and sketches out a circulating route, infuse the serene and stable homely imagery with unending vitality, especially with the verdancy and sunlight filtering in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
以獨特木質調為底，無論彰化的原色藤編、臺南的玻璃與馬賽克磚等臺灣美學元素，及其他精選自臺日各地的家飾家具，皆以簡約、古樸、自然的色彩形制，完美鑲嵌其中。天花牆面的柔和豪灰、弧線過渡、挑高天花，以及與木立面區隔的石材平面、局部點亮的崁燈運用，更讓舒朗空間再後退一步，讓人與器物，能在此間自在呼吸，感受與天地同在的平靜和諧，走向獨具禪意的境地。
With a unique wood-tone as its foundation, elements of Taiwanese aesthetics like Changhua's natural-colored rattan weaving, Tainan's glass and mosaic tiles, along with other carefully chosen home decorations and furniture from Taiwan and Japan, all blend perfectly into this setting with their simplicity, rustic charm, and natural hues. The soft, grey tones of the ceiling and walls, the smooth, curved transitions, the lofty ceilings, and stone surfaces set off by wooden façades, along with the strategically positioned recessed lights, make the comfortable space seem even more expansive, allowing both people and objects to breathe freely. It invites a sense of serene harmony, a feeling of unity with the universe, and ushers one towards a realm imbued with a distinctive Zen-like quality.
若說禪意，是因緣聚合的結果，那麼細品空間裡的元素，便得以見著。設計師提及，本案很特別的一點，是裡頭的細節設計，常是偶遇小物件的有機延伸。因為與古物店的把手邂逅，返來便為新書架添了三層櫃；到友人家中見到仿鍍鈦，回頭便也要為家屋捎點那金屬光澤，甚至，還增價十倍，換成會氧化的純鍍鈦，就要讓整屋的家飾家具，一同在時光裡流轉下去。
If we speak of Zen, it manifests as the product of the convergence of various elements, and such elements can indeed be discerned within this meticulously designed space. The designer noted that a unique feature of this project is how its detailed designs often stem organically from serendipitous encounters with small objects. For instance, stumbling upon a handle in an antique shop led to the incorporation of three additional cabinet layers to the new bookshelf. After encountering titanium plating at a friend's house, the designer felt inspired to infuse that metallic sheen into their own space, going so far as to opt for the authentic, oxidizing titanium plating at a price ten times higher, so as to allow the home's furniture and decorations to age gracefully over time.
在持守本原初心，以及把握難得緣分之中，這個鑲進精選質地的家屋，逐漸長成現今所見的元回藤。而它也將在時空中繼續流轉變化，猶如屋主祝願的「元回」二字，在空間之中發生的，終是美好如初的循環。
Within the realm of adhering to their original intention and seizing upon rare opportunities, this dwelling, adorned with meticulously chosen materials, has gradually evolved into what we now know as 'Yuanhuito'. It will continue to grow and transform with the passage of time, echoing the homeowners' wish embodied in the characters 'Yuan-hui’—a beautiful cycle of endless renewal within the space.
