Palimpsest of Life

春泥 秋陽

一方水土養一方人，共有的成長記憶也會在某個微妙時刻如榕樹根系悄悄相遇，因而「材質」不能單就空間性看待，它更是一種時間性的流動。

尤其在規劃退休宅時，屋主的閱歷往往成為用材料說故事的重要基礎。

本案屋主是一對年約60餘的夫婦，重視實用性，期望多用石材，打造大器的家居。 我們將奢華感的材質嵌入日常中，在各種材料變化對比之下感受不同材質中所堆疊出的層次感而不失機能，遠看質樸、近看細膩，實驗混搭出早期本土經典與現代精緻風格。

The owners of this home is a married couple who are roughly 60 years old. They attach great importance to practicality and would like to use more stone materials to build a bold home environment. However, "material" is not only about space, but also contains a kind of time flow. When planning retirement houses, the experience of homeowners becomes the basis of our storytelling using materials. We embed luxurious material into the owners’ daily life. By comparing the changes of various materials, we feel the sense of layering stacked in different materials without losing its function. From a distance, it looks plain. From up close, it looks delicate. Through experimentation, we mix early local and modern exquisite styles.

玄關區保留一完整空間，地板拼接使用現今已相當罕見的宜蘭石；立面為加深紋路的煙燻橡木牆與隱藏的收納櫃體；通往客廳端設置仿紅銅刷直紋鍍鈦板，與三面鍍鈦金屬編織網，解決玄關較封閉的格局，也使客廳與茶室兩區塊在視線上連結起不同成員的休閒空間、產生交集；天花板應用齊頭分割的仿舊木樑，一路延伸至茶室天花板，轉譯台灣經典風華。

The foyer area retains a complete space, and the floor tiling uses Yilan stone, which is quite rare nowadays. The vertical surface is a smoked oak wall with deepened lines and hidden storage cabinet. The end leading to the living room has installed a panel with straight-line titanium plating and imitation red copper brush. Titanium-plated metal braided nets are also installed on three sides. This resolves the closed structure of the foyer and also, from the perspective of line of sight, connects the living room and the tea room, which are the leisure spaces of two different family members to produce intersection. The ceiling makes use of vintage wooden beams uniformly divided, which extends all the way to the ceiling of the tea room and express the classic style of Taiwan.

轉入客廳後，空間感放大，天花板採用仿水泥特殊塗料表現素樸的拉胚手感，將甫入門所感受高雅調性延展為休閒，地板木紋磁磚人字拼則與玄關地板的拼石圖樣相映成趣。特殊格局使沙發背牆留有兩根大柱，皆採圓弧收編工法達到原石裁切的效果外，以特殊塗料繪出仿石材質感也無接縫問題。

After we turn into the living room, the sense of space is enlarged, and the ceiling uses special imitation cement paint to express the simple pull claywork feel. The coating extends the elegance that one feels upon entry into a feeling of leisure. Meanwhile, the herringbone pattern wood-grain tiles on the floor marks a delightful contrast with the mosaic pattern of the foyer’s floor tiles. The special layout results in two large pillars in the wall behind the sofa. Both of them adopt a circular arc cutting method to achieve the cutting effect of the original stone.

By painting a stone-like feel using special coating, there is no gap in the seam either. Titanium-plated metal strip are cleverly used on the wall to adjust the ratio. The kitchen's golden laminated glass sliding doors and kitchen installations match giant engraved panels with painted doors, etc. The fine texture of Italian gauze is fully displayed, and it is ornate in simplicity. The space is separated by materials, which highlights the bolder contrast between leisure and modernity. The common toilet is designed with a low wash basin. The bucket shaped pottery basin is matched with an elliptical whole body mirror, which demonstrates elegant and comfortable beauty.

一切維持空間與機能的純粹，使豐富的材質工藝表現不顯零碎，也保留更大的餘裕揮灑高貴的美感細節，在這間用加法運作的房子，更深入談論生活。

Everything maintains the purity of space and function, so that the rich material craftsmanship is not fragmentary, but also retains a greater margin to sprinkle magnificent aesthetic details. By using the additive functions in this home, the owners can talk more about life.
