The Area of White Space: An Empty Floor

A living space with a large area of blank space. The room is large, but furniture is concentrated in one area—a sofa set, a coffee table, and two armchairs, forming a compact seating group; more than half of the remaining floor is completely empty, without any furniture, rugs, or objects, only continuous stone flooring extending all the way to the floor-to-ceiling window. This blank space is not unarranged, but intentionally preserved: it makes the seating area an island, allows the scale of the space to be fully seen, and provides a purposeless distance for people walking through. The walls are also largely left blank. Avoid: filling the blank areas with furniture and rugs, dispersing seating throughout the room, adding plants and decorative items to occupy the empty space, making the space appear unfinished.

一個大面積留白的起居空間。房間很大,但家具只集中在一個區域——一組沙發、一張茶几、兩張單椅,圍成一個緊湊的座位群;其餘超過一半的地面完全空著,沒有任何家具、地毯與物件,只有連續的石材地坪一路延伸到落地窗前。這片空白不是還沒佈置,而是刻意保留的:它讓座位區成為一座島,讓空間的尺度被完整看見,也讓人走過時有一段沒有目的的距離。牆面同樣大片留白。避免:用家具與地毯填滿空白的區域、把座位分散到房間各處、加入植物與擺件佔據空地、讓空間顯得像未完工。
