Wild Luxury: Powder Room with the Heaviest Materials in a Small Space

A very small but heavily appointed guest restroom. Due to its small size, the most expensive and intense materials can be afforded: all four walls and the ceiling are entirely covered with dark, large-patterned marble, with continuous book-matched grain extending around corners, including the ceiling; the floor is the same stone. The basin is carved from a single block of stone, suspended from the wall. Faucets and hardware are matte brass. A round mirror with a brass frame hangs on the wall, with backlighting hidden behind it, making the mirror appear to float on the stone wall. Lighting consists only of this backlighting and a small brass wall lamp, making the entire space dim, enveloping, and rich. Avoid: using light-colored and plain materials, illuminating the space brightly, adding storage cabinets and clutter, allowing stone grain to break at corners.

一間極小但用料極重的客用洗手間。因為面積小,可以負擔最昂貴與最強烈的材料:四面牆與天花全部貼滿深色的大花大理石,紋理連續對花並在轉角處接續,包含天花板;地面是同一種石材。面盆是一整塊石材挖鑿而成,懸掛在牆上。龍頭與五金是霧面黃銅。牆上掛一面黃銅框的圓鏡,鏡後藏著背光,讓鏡子看起來浮在石牆上。照明只有這一道背光與一盞小型的黃銅壁燈,整個空間昏暗、包覆、有濃度。避免:使用淺色與素面的材料、把空間照得明亮、加入儲物櫃與雜物、讓石材紋理在轉角處斷開。
