Located in Tamsui, a seaside district north of Taiwan’s capital, this new one bedroom apartment by Taipei and Shanghai-based Wei Yi International Design Associates embraces poetic minimalism as a paean to the surrounding natural landscape. Lying between the estuary of Tamsui River and the mountainous Yangmingshan National Park, the area, despite its urban character, is blessed with natural landmarks including an adjacent mangrove forest and wetlands reserve. The surrounding natural beauty, and in particular the ocean that resplendently looms on the horizon, was the initial inspiration for the project named “Blue Eye”—blue referencing the ocean as well as “the tears of the Earth”, as the architects explain in a valiant effort to draw attention to the preciousness of nature and its precarious future.

位于台湾首都的海滨区Tamsui，位于台北和上海的韦尼国际设计协会的这一新的单间卧室公寓，以诗意的简约主义方式，将诗意的简约主义与周围的自然景观融合在一起。位于坦遂河河口和山阳明山国家公园之间，尽管有其城市特色，但其自然地标包括邻近的红树林和湿地保护区。周围的自然美景，尤其是在地平线上重新放置的海洋，是对命名为“蓝眼睛”的项目的最初灵感----蓝色的参照海洋以及“大地的眼泪”，因为建筑师们做出了一个勇敢的努力，以吸引人们注意大自然的可贵及其未来的不稳定的未来。

The designers approached this project as an exercise of artistic expression underpinned by a desire to create a unique space connected to nature where the owner’s pursuit of serenity could also be rewarded. Based on a nuanced palette of grey hues and the predominance of concrete surfaces, the apartment is a marvel of minimalist design and conceptual rigor, unfolding as a spacious living room that opens up onto an open-plan kitchen and dining area, both enjoying expansive vistas of the estuary and the surrounding hills, as do the bedroom and bathroom further on. Despite the monochromatic colour palette, the concrete landscape that the designers have conjured is anything but monotonous. A variety of concrete finishes and textures - from polished, to stained, to rough stucco - create a rich spatial tapestry, made richer by the shifting light and moving shadows as the day progresses, while a series of geometrical volumes, recesses and niches create a sculptural morphology that poetically reflects the neighboring wetlands.

设计师们把这个项目作为艺术表现的一种练习，以创造一个与自然相联系的独特空间为基础，在这个空间中，主人对宁静的追求也可以得到回报。基于灰色色调的细腻调色板和混凝土表面的优势，这套公寓是极简主义设计和概念严谨的奇迹，是一间宽敞的起居室，通向开放式厨房和就餐区，两处都可以欣赏到河口和周围山丘的广阔景色，卧室和浴室也是如此。尽管有单色调色板，设计师们所想象的具体景观绝不是单调的。各种各样的混凝土饰面和纹理-从抛光，到染色，再到粗糙的灰泥-创造了丰富的空间挂毯，随着时间的推移，移动的光线和移动的阴影使它更加丰富，而一系列的几何体积、凹槽和壁龛创造了一种雕塑形态，在诗意上反映了邻近的湿地。

The predominance of concrete is enriched by the subtle presence of complementary materials such as copper, iron, timber and marble, featured in bespoke furnishings and select artworks, as well as by a small cactus garden in the living room. By the entrance, a hundred-year-old hemp carpet from Uzbekistan hanging on the wall adds splashes of colour, while its worn out quality is lyrically juxtaposed with the robustness of the concrete surfaces. A similar juxtaposition is provided by a sculptural trio of timber posts made out of weathered Taiwan cypress, referencing Taiwan’s architectural heritage. The solidity of the concrete volumes is further contrasted with the floor-to-ceiling partitions/bookcases constructed out of slender copper rods which appear as ethereal frameworks magically sketched by some invisible hand. As eye catching, a custom-made burgundy chandelier of curved metal strips above the dining table was inspired by the iconic Guandu Bridge, a red arch bridge over the Tamsui River that can be seen in the distance. In the bedroom, an upholstered dark grey headboard set against a white marble wall makes a luxuriant yet austere centerpiece, while the use of cement and bleached colour-washed plaster in the master bathroom, seductively illuminated by filtered daylight, creates a meditative ambience which echoes the contemplative tranquility of nature, and evocatively encapsulates the architects’ intent.

混凝土的优势得益于铜、铁、木材和大理石等辅料的微妙存在，在定制的家具和精选的艺术品中，以及客厅中的一个小仙人掌花园。入口处，悬挂在墙上的一条来自乌兹别克斯坦的百年大麻地毯增添了色彩，而破旧的质量则与混凝土表面的坚固性并列。一个类似的并列是由一个雕塑三木桩由风化的台湾柏树制成，引用台湾的建筑遗产。混凝土体积的坚固性与用细长的铜棒建造的地板到天花板的隔墙/书柜形成了进一步的对比，这些铜棒看起来像虚幻的框架，用一些看不见的手神奇地勾画出来。吸引眼球的是，一盏定制的勃艮第吊灯，由餐桌上方弯曲的金属条组成，灵感来自标志性的观都大桥，这座红色拱桥横跨淡水河，可以在远处看到。在卧室里，在白色大理石墙的衬垫下，一个深灰色的床头板构成了一个华丽而又朴实的中心，而在主浴室里使用水泥和漂洗的彩色灰泥，在过滤的日光下诱人地照明，创造了一种沉思的氛围，与大自然的沉思宁静相呼应，令人印象深刻地概括了建筑师们的意图。
