流動的饗宴A Moveable Feast

『如果你夠幸運，在年輕時待過巴黎，那麼巴黎將永遠跟隨著你，因為巴黎是一席流動的饗宴』—1950年海明威致友人。大抵是因為巴黎有太多情感和回憶在那裡交會著，所以便成為了獨一無二的所在。
本案地臨淡水河灣，眺望窗外，首先是造型如波浪的玻璃陽台，再來便是蜿蜒的河川風貌、綿延的山脈線條，幻變的雲彩景致，寒暑推移，便成一席流動饗宴。
四季遞嬗，步伐隨著玄關流線型大理石的引領，進入開闊的室內空間 。天光被整面流線型的大落地窗引入空間中，捨棄僵硬的隔間，以天花板獨特的漣漪造型區分著不同空間的機能，玄關、客廳、書房、餐廳、吧台.....自然融匯成一幅壯麗景象。
漸層發散的地毯凝聚著空間中的各式傢俱，地毯上不同的藍，是河水的活動，絨布質地的窗簾隨著視線變換色澤，與地毯相互輝映，大圓餐桌上的數圈光環意指圓滿光陰的跟隨流動，明亮的黃，好似一整天最美好的一束天光，在室內穿梭，石材本身的紋理、立面木皮的分割、浴室磁磚的漸層拼貼、臥房壁紙的流動線條…...與建築本身的造型連成一氣，加上自然天光幻變，與室內光影一塊流動，空間彷彿活絡了起來，家人間的歡聲笑語也似在這樣美好的氛圍裡流動。
海明威說巴黎是一席流動的饗宴，這是對於一個城市莫大的恭維，只希望這裡，就如巴黎之於海明威一般，不論去過多少地方，不管擁有多少新房子，這個住所都會是心中最美好的一方天地，每個相處的片段好像永遠都光影燦燦，這一席充滿流動的空間饗宴就是「家」了吧，也正是對居所最好的一種讚美。

 

Located on the Tamsui river bay with amazing mountain views, the "A Moveable Feast" is named in reference to the building's unique curved line appearance. Lien Wu Chen, the interior designer, recalled upon his first visit to the site that it reminded him of Hemingway's memoir, "A Moveable Feast": "If you were lucky enough to have been in Paris when you were young, then Paris will always follow you, because Paris is a moveable feast." The curved balcony, the winding river, the rolling mountains, the forever changing clouds and the time-lapse atmosphere composes another flowing feast that is the inspiration of the project design theme. Glorious Light and shadow Per the proiect site, the building exterior features continuous curvy balconies that form a unique flowing appearance with extensions that carry on the flow concept. Designer Chen broke up the existing interior rectangular compartmentalized partitions so the open plan's interior walls following the exterior shape design to achieve the idea of internal and external resonance.

 

The blue color abstract oil painting at the entry vestibule with organic flowing strokes hint at the design concept of the project through the compressed entrance walkway which precedes the amazing landscape scenery. This project will mainly function as the owner's private reception space, therefore the public area consists of an open plan design with the main consideration being guest circulation, banquet services and seating, which have all been carefully planned and coordinated. Within the open plan layout, the living room seating arrangement offers views out into the landscape and a separate multimedia entertainment zone. Further into the space, there is a single seating area adjacent to the study. Different spatial configurations allow various forms of communication as well as poSsibilities for large group gathering, small group discussions or private dialogue. The large area of display cabinets behind the study desk is one of the owner's favorite feature, with a hidden storage room where the owner can freely rearrange or change the display theme of his large number of collectibles so that the display becomes another aspect of landscape in the home. The dining area is features a bar counter and large round dining table with the bar Counter deliberately designed to have diferent high and low heights with the user's comfort consideration in mind

 

Behind the bar counter are hidden wine cabinets that are tailored to meet the client's requests and habit. Although the floor plan is designed with an open flow theme the designer still took carelui consideration to fulfill basic daily life functional needs with purposely incorporate storage space without compromising the free flow plan sense of mobility. A modern urban atmosphere is the main theme for all three bedrooms, using linear decorative details as interpretations and extension of the free flow design into the private space. The master bedroom has orderly vertical decorative lines accompanied with a free form ink pattern wallpaper. One bedroom features calming blue gray pearl glossy artistic paint. The third bedroom with clean white tone contrasts with graffiti like strokes for a more cheerful atmosphere. One will find the Chen's brilliant details throughout the space, even in the bathrooms. Within the room, the designer sensibly composed finish materials, utilizing three different color glazed tiles, opaque glass and linear details that recreate the mangrove trees in the morning cloud natural scenery literally allowing the flow of nature from outside into the room. In contrast there is a sense of spatial quality enhanced among the exaggerated curve walls and water-ripple shaped ceiling balanced with clean simple colors finishes. Common impression about nature is that it is rough, free-spirited and wild, but this project is intended to represent nature's elegant, reserved, quiet graceful side just like during the design process, through in-depth dialogues, the design team was able to discover the owner's inner character which was then represented in the unseen charisma within the space. Hemingway said Paris was a moveable feast, and the design team sincerely wished this residence would become an extraordinary "flowing feast" for the owners.
