“A receptive mind as a hollow mountain arouses echoes.”
“Tranquility yields transcendence.”
--Ancient Chinese wisdom quotes

The solid mountains warmly tolerate all living creatures and unveil profound strength. In the mountains, we pause to feel the trees, rocks, mist, and sunlit through the leaves with our five senses. And then, we may recover from the tiredness and take the next step after getting refreshed.

We take "mountains" as the design theme, which aspires to the residents returning home as embracing the mountains. For instance, the dark brown slate tiles in the entryway deliver a tranquil charm. Next, the five tall supporting timbers that symbolize the family members compose a feature view. After entering the living room, a wood tone matches the curved wooden ceiling, shaping a Mount Fuji image, and the grayish diatomaceous earth coating as if the snowcap delivers a feel of isolation. Moreover, we set the open family room in the center of the house to link to various spaces. Mild brightness invited from the adjacent Japanese-style room reveals a dreamy mood as sunlight illuminates the exit of a valley. Exquisitely, this is a peaceful space that makes people linger.

「虛懷若谷，寧靜致遠」，位處靜謐之境，眼前敦厚的高山以溫暖的姿態包容著萬物生靈，發散沉穩而堅定的力量；漫步在綿延的山嶺間，我們停佇、沉澱，感受山嵐、林木、壁石與穿透葉片的點點日光，令受現實衝擊而疲憊的心，被大自然徹底浸潤、洗滌後，再次出發。

我們以「山」為設計主軸，期許歸宅的居者如同回到一座山的懷抱，甫進玄關，落塵區鋪有紋理遍布的深褐色板岩磚，接納外界風塵、奠定沉靜氣息，而作為入門端景的五棵參天大樹不僅支撐著這個家，更象徵業主與父母、手足，五人一同打拼的精神；穿越樹林，走入客廳，周身旋即被和煦木色包裹，上方曲弧斜面的木質天花板勾勒出日本富士山的輪廓，平頂的灰白色珪藻土宛若披蓋於山峰的靄靄白雪，散發遺世獨立感，沿循山徑，位於家宅中央的起居室以虛懷若谷之姿串連各場域，其無窗的格局藉相鄰的和室引入自然微光，營造「山有小口，彷若有光」的幽遠意境，令人流連於此，享受山壑間的片刻安寧。
