Limestone: One Stone for Floors and Counters

A space unified by a single type of limestone. The floor, countertops, washbasin, built-in seating surfaces, and outdoor steps all use the same stone: a warm beige color with an extremely quiet texture, only uniform fine grains and occasional fossil traces, no strong veins. The surface is honed or sandblasted, matte, slightly rough, non-reflective, and dry to the touch; the outdoor parts are rougher for slip resistance. The stone is cut into thick blocks with simple right-angle or small chamfered edges. Because the same stone is used indoors and outdoors, the spatial continuity is very strong. Paired with white lime walls and terracotta. Under strong light, the stone appears warm off-white. Avoid: using polished high-gloss surfaces, choosing marble with strong textures, mixing multiple types of stone, using cool gray-toned stones.

一個以單一石灰岩貫穿的空間。地板、檯面、洗手盆、內建座椅的座面與戶外的階梯全部使用同一種石材:顏色是溫暖的米黃,紋理極為安靜,只有均勻的細顆粒與偶爾的化石痕跡,沒有強烈的脈絡。表面是珩磨或噴砂處理的,霧面、微粗糙、不反光,觸感偏乾;戶外的部分更粗以防滑。石材被切割成厚實的塊體,邊緣是簡單的直角或小倒角。因為室內外使用同一種石材,空間的連續性很強。搭配白色的石灰牆與赤陶。強光下石材呈現溫暖的米白。避免:使用拋光的高亮表面、選擇紋理強烈的大理石、混用多種石材、使用冷灰色調的石頭。
