Joints are the Only Lines in the Space

A minimalist space where all lines come from material joints. Walls and floors have no decoration, paintings, or moldings; the only lines are the divisions of the materials themselves: stone joints, concrete formwork seams, and floor expansion joints. These lines are straight, consistent in width, and aligned with each other across different surfaces, with floor joints extending up the walls. They form the geometric skeleton of the entire space. Avoid: adding decorative lines and divisions, misaligning joints across different surfaces, using dark grout to make joints too prominent, using multiple joint widths in the same space.

一個線條全部來自材料接縫的極簡空間。牆面與地面沒有任何裝飾、掛畫與線板,唯一的線是材料本身的分割:石材的接縫、混凝土的模板縫、地坪的伸縮縫。這些線是筆直的、寬度一致的,並且在不同的界面上互相對齊,地面的縫延伸到牆面繼續往上。它們構成整個空間的幾何骨架。避免:加入裝飾性的線條與分割、讓不同界面的接縫互不對齊、使用深色填縫劑讓縫過於明顯、在同一空間使用多種縫寬。
