上境設計－許富居

如同坐落在森林中的房宅，創造由土地中生長的大樹環繞下的生活環境，希望能將基地地面層塑造為一片綠色的森林，與周邊的原有地貌及原生樹林結合成生態豐富的場域，將建築開發對的環境衝擊減少，基地如同翠綠的拼圖鑲嵌都市的綠色紋理，本案配置雙層綠帶林蔭步道及大型綠地團塊的生態跳島，結合建築配置與自然景觀元素，創造出充滿律動及活翡翠流域力舒適開放空間，如同璀燦翡翠散落的綠色場域，賦予空間新的生活意象。

透過多層次的植栽配置，規劃多迴路節點的動線規畫方式，充分運用基地建物的開放空間，視覺引導主次動線系統的路線以提供步行者選擇通行。將人行街區冷色系地坪鋪面為基底，利用建築退縮開放空間大量導入綠色元素，並在人行道上植入挺拔矗立且象徵科舉高中的櫸木，結合雙層複層植栽設計，構成綠映盎然且舒適地的人本步行空間。順沿著由結合姿態挺拔且象徵富貴財富隱喻的櫸木，所構成的林蔭步道，來到步道兩側的端景，東南側端景為透過弧曲線作為動線導引及巧妙延長了步行路徑，並結合洋紅風鈴木、無患子、小葉欖仁等具色彩變化的喬木，營造出端點三角公園的四季風華。

西北側端點則是透過建物退縮空間，以姿態優美及象徵典範的黃連木作為視覺焦點，結合常綠的紫梅樹，營造出友善街角的簡潔的空間氛圍。順沿著線性的人行步道，可見以確保居住的安全性所設計的格柵圍牆，同時作為公、私領域的分界牆，接續來到人行步道中間的入口區，印入眼簾的是利用地勢高低所設計的迎賓流瀑與水池，池畔上姿態優美且具孕育希望隱喻的緬梔，交疊錯落的景牆，構成簡約高雅的迎賓場域。

進入中庭區，行者順沿著由東漸西遞增的坡道而上，北側所見是猶如流水般的景觀池，層次交疊的斜坡階梯，交錯的景牆及隱約穿透的格柵圍牆，及以綠色植栽為中介元素，巧妙構成移步換景的視覺饗宴，且沿著波道而西上，來到由半戶外平台、藝術品及景觀水池，圍塑出具休閒藝術意象讀休憩場域。而西側側院區則是以簡約的設計為出發點，利用橢圓曲線的造型鋪面柔化口袋公園意象的壓迫感，並以姿態優美且具四季色彩變化的落羽松為端景，營造出簡約寂靜的側院空間。

The Drainage of Jade

To create a living environment surrounded by trees, and to make the residential space be embraced by the forest, the design team tried to combine the original landscape with the site, forming a forest figure. The space with rich species buffers the environmental impact from the construction. The site is like a piece of green puzzle fitting together with the city. The planning of paths and lawn provides stepping stones for species which connect the natural landscape with the architecture, bringing out the vibe and vitality of the open space as the resplendent jade with veins.

With the design of multi-layered planting and loop layout, the open space is perfectly utilized. Passengers are guided both on primary and secondary routes. Sidewalk is paved with cold-colored flooring; greenery is introduced abundantly because of the setback. Besides, the design team planted beech trees, which represents the blessing of reaching great achievement and wealth, along two sides of the path; the path accompanying the multi-layered planting makes the sidewalk comfortable and  pedestrian-friendly. Along with the path, the route is prolonged subtly by designing it in arc at the east-south edge, blending with arbors, which color varies seasonally, such as rosy trumpet tree, sapindus, and madagascar almond. As for the west-north edge, the architecture setback vacants the space for Pistacia as the spotlight; the ever-green Batoko plum tree embellishes the neat aura of the corner. The cellular fence is installed along with the sidewalk to secure the safety of residents, as well as divide the public and private area. The welcoming feature, a fountain,  placed at the entrance in the middle of the sidewalk is designed by the terrain.

The elegant frangipani planted along the waterscape is a metaphor for planting seeds of hope; the overlapping feature walls form the welcoming area simple and elegant. Walk up the ramp, a water feature comes to one’s sight. Staircases with layers, overlapping feature walls and fencing walls, combining with green plants, a visual feast along the pathway is provided. Walk west along the ramp to the semi-outdoor platform with artworks and water features, enjoying the leisure and artistic rest area. As for the west of the courtyard, minimalist design is the starting point. Design elliptic curve pavement to broaden the vision of pocket park figure and plant graceful deciduous cypress with seasonal color changes as vista, creating a simple and tranquil space.

To establish the eco-friendly layout, the design team used multi-layered planting to adjust microclimate, to save the energy consumed by air conditioner, and to smoothen the effect of urban heat island. The wide lawn and planting provide not only a sufficient space for plants to grow, but a platform for the residents to recognize Taiwanese indigenous species. Besides, residents have more chances to interact with each other. Cultural aesthetics is presented in the community, and the traditional village form is able to be handed down.
