青苔 Green Moss

 

唐朝詩人楊炯在＂青苔賦＂中描寫道青苔：有達人卷舒之意，君子行藏之心。惟天地之大德，非予情之所任。」詩聖王維《書事》中寫過：＂坐看蒼苔色，欲上人衣來＂。在文人雅士心中青苔謙讓溫和，達而不顯，飲而不沈，舒捲自如又生生不息的特性，傳達出鬧中取靜的生活哲學。
動缐以一種循序漸進的鋪陳方式開展，從入口向屋內觀看，只見影綽燈火在夾紗格柵處顕透，緣廊造型下有青苔錯落，轉身處又是一彎過道，為下一個空間引入扶筆，幾步後豁然開朗，挑高的天花板以抬樑木架構，搭建出一方東方韻味的公共空間。
大面積的苔色地毯，裝點著迎風搖擺的綠意，如同由土壤裡蓄勢待發的希望，白色的沙發、餐桌，以及牆面的洞石，猶如在高低起伏的苔地上置放的地景，豐富了空間的層次，側牆苔綠的六角馬賽克，在開放的廚房舒展閃爍著，大片窗景接續的淺綠編織紋壁紙則在臥房內營造溫馨的初春氣息。
隨著綠意以環形路線遊走，行徑一處書房，原始紙漿壁面有自然的返樸，有文人的歸真，心領神會了一會兒，又見主臥房，以略帶現代雅仕的風味鋪展開來，以典藏藝術品的畫廊概念，裝點出特有的生活哲學。
空間中反覆出現的自由鳥的語彙是我們給予主人的祝福，站在青苔滿佈的地面，保持清淨幽遠的心淨，不與世爭，飛向高遠的藍天。


Tang poet Yang Jong once described green moss as such in his poem On Green Moss: It is magnanimous and honorable; it follows the rhythm of heaven and earth instead of its own ambition and emotions. Sage of poetry Wang Wei also wrote in his work Green Moments, “As I sit and look at the dark green moss, how queer; My very garments seem to become its green display.” In a literati’s eyes, moss represents the virtues of modesty and gentleness. It is gifted but does not flaunt, delights but does not indulge, malleable and full of life. For all these attributes, moss is therefore considered by the Chinese to embody this life philosophy—staying unperturbed despite the rattle around it.
The flow in this design sets out in a gradual manner. Looking into the interior of the home from the entrance, one can get a glimpse of shadow and light through the grated screen. In the corridor green moss bedecks the living room. Turning around you are then greeted by another hallway, which hints at the space you are about to experience. Take a few more steps, you will suddenly find yourself surrounded by a vast open space. The high ceiling with fitting beams cultivates an Eastern mood in this common area.
A large carpet in mossy color allude to the greenery that sways in the breeze, like hope ready to spring from earth. The white sofa, dining table and rocks in the walls are landscapes that spread over the undulating moss, imparting a multilayered visual effect that enriches the space. In the open kitchen are sparkling sidewalls decorated with hexagon mosaic, also in moss color. The grand window scenery is extended by soft green wallpaper into the bedroom, where the sense of fresh spring fills the room with warmth.
Walking along the greenness in a circular path, one will encounter a study in which the wall covered by pristine paper pulp gives off a natural aura as if returning to literary simplicity and innocence. Next is the master bedroom designed with the concept of an art gallery. The collection of artworks is associated with modern sophistication and reveals a unique life philosophy.
Birds of freedom are a recurring motif in this home. This is our sincere wish to its residents. May their heart find peace and clarity, and as they stand on the moss, may their spirit roam free far beyond the great blue sky, unfettered by worldly desires.
