Shadows are content: don't over-brighten everything

A space deliberately retaining large areas of shadow. Approximately half of the room is almost invisible—corners, deep parts of the ceiling, sides of cabinets, a section of a hallway—with no fill light, only extremely faint ambient reflection. These dark areas are not neglected dead spaces but part of the design: because there is enough pure darkness, the small amount of light appears strong, and the depth of the space is extended, with no visible end. In one corner of the image, a version where every corner is filled with light is shown for comparison: the same dark color, but because everything is visible, the sense of mystery disappears, and the room becomes transparent and smaller. Avoid: making the two versions similar, filling in the dark areas in the correct version, allowing the dark areas to become completely pure black, losing any hint of material, changing the furniture arrangement of either.

一個刻意保留大片陰影的空間。房間中約有一半的區域是幾乎看不見的——角落、天花深處、櫃體的側面、走道的一段,那裡沒有任何補光,只有極微弱的環境反射。這些暗部不是被忽略的死角而是設計的一部分:因為有夠大夠純的暗,少量的亮才顯得強烈,而且空間的深度被拉開,看不到盡頭。畫面一角以每個角落都補亮的版本作對照:同樣的深色但因為到處都看得見,神秘感消失,房間變得一目了然而且變小。避免:讓兩者相似、在正確版本補亮暗部、讓暗部完全純黑失去材質的暗示、改變兩者的家具配置。
