Transition for Taking Off Shoes: A Height Difference and a Bench

A shoe-changing transition in an oriental luxury residence. The entrance features a dark stone dust-collecting area, 15 centimeters lower than the interior. A clean, sharp height difference separates it from the interior wooden floor, finished with a thin metal line. Against the wall is a long bench of dark solid wood, with an open space underneath to push shoes into, and a downward-facing light strip at the bottom. The wall features full-height storage, handle-less and in the same color as the wall.
Avoid: having no height difference or material distinction between indoor and outdoor, using shoe cabinets with handles, piling shoes on the floor, adding a dressing mirror and decorative items.

一個東方奢華住宅的換鞋過渡。進門處是一塊比室內低十五公分的深色石材落塵區,與室內的木地板之間是一道乾淨俐落的高差,收邊是一道細窄的金屬線。靠牆一張深色實木的長凳,下方懸空可以把鞋推進去,底部有一道向下的燈帶。牆上一整面與牆同色的收納,沒有把手。避免:讓室內外沒有高差與材質區分、使用有把手的鞋櫃、把鞋子堆放在地面、加入穿衣鏡與裝飾擺件。
