和果子 Wagashi
＂春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的，好比畫配了框子。＂開啓盒蓋品嚐一口和果子的滋味，自能體會錢鐘書的描繪與觀點。
地處文化特區公園林立的自然環境之中，享受四季景觀的遞嬗之美，本設計如同日本著名的和果子藝術家水上力以微型景觀為創作的概念，將園林中的山石竹林植物的觀察，透過和果子闡述，將四季的變化，收納在一方木盒之中，傳達出『春蘭谷中藏，夏荷池上飄，秋菊草間芳，冬梅樹抹妝』的詩中意境。
方入門，石材紋理似似嫩綠新芽在沃土中顕露，是春日的縮影，周圍清雅的綠如春日裡蘭花的氣息，若隱若現地勾勒著蓬勃的盎然生機，透過大面的窗子，與外頭的綠樹相輝相映。
緩步至主臥，時序輪轉入夏，池上荷葉脈被豔陽照射的泛出閃閃光芒，燦爛的金，奔放的綠，徬彿能聽見薰風蟬鳴的和歌。
多功能房內的色調是枝頭上微黃的樹葉與暖棕的楓葉紛紛，熟透的榖禾與棕色木皮透著絲絲暖意，秋日開成一朵牆上黃澄澄的繡菊。
客房將冬天的氣息帶入，壁如白雪，皚皚灑落一室圓滿。
在和果子的木盒造型天花板下，將窗外四季的景物，一一收納典藏入室，猶如品嚐精緻的和果子子一般，讓常日生活多了一道幸福滋味。
“Spring should be viewed from a window, like a painting complimented by a frame,” said the late Chinese writer Qian Zhongshu. Qian’s description and impression could perhaps be aptly understood by taking a bite of a wagashi out of a box.
The residence of this project enjoys magnificent views of changing seasons for being surrounded by green parks that are dispersed throughout the cultural district. As such, our design concept draws inspiration from Japan’s famous wagagshi artist Mizukami Chikara, whose work of micro landscapes reveals his insightful observations of garden rocks, bamboos and plants. Seasonal changes are compressed into a wooden box to represent the poetic imageries of “spring orchids nestling in the valley, summer lotus swaying in the pond, autumn chrysanthemum sitting amongst aromatic grasses and winter plums adorning the trees.”
Starting from the entrance, natural patterns on the stone materials refer to the fresh greens that have just emerged from the soil as winter gives way to spring. The elegant color in this area elude to the fragrance of orchids in the springtime. The elusive verdant colors hint at the vitality of this season while echoing the trees outside the large window.
Summer sweeps over as one saunters into the master bedroom. Veins on the lotus leaves reflect the golden rays of the brilliant sun. Dazzling gold and spirited green colors seem to welcome the chorus of cicadas in the sweet summer breeze.
The multipurpose room is filled with gentle shades of yellow and auburn that are representative of maple leaves. Ripened grains and brown bark imbue the space with a touch of warmth, as golden chrysanthemums on the wall blossom into the autumn.
Winter atmosphere pervades the guest room, where walls white as snow encircle the space.
Under the wagashi box-like ceiling, sceneries of the four seasons instill a sense of happiness in the residents’ daily life, as if offering a taste of an exquisite piece of wagashi.
