開展的卷軸 As the handscroll painting unfurls

 

這個家中的每個空間,都有著它相對應的地景,敘述著每日的家常點滴,像一幅逐步展開的卷軸,隨著周圍景物的遞變,看到了家庭成員們在不同空間的互動關係⋯⋯
敍事,從入口的一盞皎白如月的立燈開始,溫柔的月暈時刻等侯著屋主的歸來,接續是一面水墨暈染的夾紗隔屏,緩步揭開了屬於家的埸景,臨環城河邊的廳堂窗明几淨,好似一幅潑墨山水畫,走在回紋地毯上,每一踏步都是富貴綿延
向裡望去,人上人圖騰的玻璃障,圍塑出一方包廂,隱約透出另一層光景,是舉杯盡歡的晃影,是團聚話家常的餘溫,廂內冷藍光暈與金燦的花燈,在四面山水的底紙上,曖曖散發出隱室中獨有的光芒。而廂外有茶席緊鄰河畔,與老家咫尺相望,方便汲泉烹茶敬款至親好友。
隨著梯牆上的珍珠光澤引領,到了二層的起居空間,也似開展了另一卷畫軸。不同於一樓的連續畫面,此卷被分割為四塊的框景,相異其趣,或沈眠、或覽卷、或撫琴、或遊藝,一房一室一窗一景,總能有專屬的場域與對應的景緻,明亮的色調帶出輕鬆的居家氛圍,也讓二層的風光更顯輕盈自在。
拾梯再上猶如捲軸舒展至底,只見主臥閣樓,仰望有金黃穹頂籠罩,俯瞰有青綠山水環繞,居高臨下亭然而立,行筆至此見床頭有積墨揮灑,地面有草書快意,猶如在空間落款,為新家的卷軸蓋下完美的鈐印…


 

Every quarter in this home has its corresponding scenery that narrates the daily life of the family like a Chinese handscroll painting. Along with changes of the outdoor view, the scroll unfurls to tell stories of the dynamic interaction and relationship of family members in each space…
The narrative begins with a standing lamp at the entrance of the home. Silver as the moon, the lantern emits gentle halo to welcome the homeowner’s return. A screen curtain tinged with ink then slowly unravels the landscape of the home. In the living room there are bright windows to invite the riverside view into the space, transforming the interior into a splash-ink landscape painting. The fret-patterned carpet on the floor also blesses every step of the residents with heartfelt wishes of prosperity.
Looking inward, the glass pane with Chinese characters of “ren” forms a private room, from which another level of scenery—silhouettes of joyful toasting and chattering in family gatherings—is displayed. The cold, blue aura and gold light of the flower lamp are projected onto the surrounding wallpaper with mountains and rivers, generating a unique milieu for the hidden room. A tea table sits outside, not far away from the creek. From here the residents can take in their old house as they make tea for loved ones using spring water from the creek.
Guided by the pearly gleam on the wall, the staircase leads to the living quarters on the second floor where yet another narrative unfolds. The scenery differs from the continuity that characterizes the floor below. Here the story is divided into four vastly different segments devoted to sleep, reading, music or play. Each room consists of a window overlooking the magnificent outdoor. The cozy and bright design of each corresponding space come together to cultivate a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere on this floor.
Walking further up the stairs to the master’s bedroom on the top floor is like reaching the climax of the narrative. The expansive attic overlooks green mountains and waters, and is sheltered by a gold dome. Ink art connects the wall against the head of the bed and the floor, where a carpet with cursive calligraphy art acts as the seal at the end of the scroll, marking the perfect closure to this new home...
