Koichiro Ikebuchi is one of the Asia’s go-to
interior designers and architects. He is now
based in Singapore where he set up his own
studio in 2004. For each project he combines
a penchant for natural materials with an
eye on contemporary details and a serious
consideration of space and user experience.
At THE PAVILIA HILL, he has designed space
influenced by the philosophy of wabi-sabi,
a traditional concept that celebrates the beauty
in simplicity.
Koichiro Ikebuchi
是一位享譽盛名的亞洲室內設計
師及建築師。現居於新加坡的他,於2004年成立了
自己的工作室。他每個項目均採用天然材料,同時揉
合了現代的設計,充分考慮到空間感及住客體驗的重
要性。他為柏傲山設計的每個空間都能體現
wabi-
sabi
的審美哲學,處處流露本源及簡約之美。
請問柏傲山的整體規劃是怎樣的?
我建造了一個源於傳統美學,屬於亞洲現代風格的項
目。隨著時間的流逝,我所使用的天然材料將會散發出
最真實的美態。
請問你使用了哪些材料?
木是貫穿於整個項目的材料,我特意選用橡木來鋪設地
面。我並不想用一種平滑拋光的材料,而希望用一種有
肌理和質感的材料來做地面,讓住客的雙腳接觸地面時
有更切身的感受。游泳池面向翠綠山巒,室外的陽光灑
在金箔裝飾上,閃閃發亮,住客能在此感受到禪意和真
正的寧靜。
你是否將
wabi-sabi
的美學元素融入了柏傲山?
沒錯,雖然我很難清晰界定
wabi-sabi
,但其代表一種
歷經時間沉澱的美態。這種美態與花費無關,更不同於
人造、合成的美,它是從大自然的物質中醞釀出來的、
一種經得起時間考驗的美。
What is your plan for
THE PAVILIA HILL
?
I’ve created a modern Asian-styled
development whose design takes inspiration
from a traditional aesthetic. And I’ve used
natural materials that will age in their own
original and beautiful ways.
What materials have you used
specifically?
I’ve used timber throughout the development,
and specifically oak on the flooring. I didn’t
want a smooth, sanded material for the floor,
but a material that has texture and pattern,
that people can feel it when they take off their
shoes. I’ve also used gold leaf decoration
in the pool area which connects and opens out
to the hills. Light floods in through the window
and glistens among the gold leaves. Residents
will experience a feeling of Zen and feel
serenity at heart.
Have you incorporated elements of
wabi-sabi in your work for
THE PAVILIA
HILL
?
Yes. Wabi-sabi is very difficult to define.
It means there is beauty in ageing. It’s not
about expense, nor finding beauty in something
plastic, something man-made. It’s about finding
beauty in natural materials, materials that
age beautifully.
