Bamboo and Paper: Translucent Partition Layers

A guest room with layered translucent partitions made of bamboo and paper: Between the bed area and the bath area is a sliding wooden-framed shoji screen, covered with handmade washi paper, allowing light through but not form; in front of the window is another fine bamboo woven blind; the ceiling is a grid of parallel bamboo strips, with hidden lighting above. Thus, light enters the room after being filtered through three layers, appearing soft, even, and milky white. The floor is tatami or woven grass matting, and the bed is a low platform close to the ground. The colors of the materials are only the greenish-yellow of bamboo, the off-white of paper, and the light brown of wood. Avoid: Using glass instead of shoji, painting or staining bamboo, using a standard height bed frame, adding high-chroma soft furnishings.

一間客房以竹與紙構成層層的半透明隔間:床區與浴區之間是可推拉的木框障子,糊著手工的和紙,透光但不透形;窗前另有一道細竹編的簾;天花是竹條並排的格柵,上方藏光。因此光線經過三層過濾才進入房間,呈現柔和均勻的乳白。地坪是榻榻米或編織的草蓆,床是接近地面的低矮平台。材料的顏色只有竹的青黃、紙的米白與木的淺褐。避免:使用玻璃取代障子、竹材噴漆或染色、床使用一般高度的床架、加入高彩度的軟件。
