Material Thickness: Visible Cross-Sections

A minimalist space that reveals the thickness of materials. The countertop is a solid 10 cm thick stone slab, with its front edge clearly visible. Shelves are 6 cm thick solid wood or concrete slabs, cantilevered from the wall. Door panels are 5 cm thick, revealing their side when opened. These thicknesses give each element weight, making them appear substantial rather than thin veneers. The finish of the exposed edges is the same as the front, without additional banding. Avoid: using thin veneers to create false thickness, beveling edges to make them appear thinner, applying different materials to the exposed edges, using overly thin shelves that appear flimsy.

一個讓材料露出厚度的極簡空間。檯面是一整塊十公分厚的石材,前緣的斷面清楚可見;層板是六公分厚的實木或混凝土板,從牆面懸挑出來;門片的厚度達到五公分,開啟時看得到側邊。這些厚度讓每一個元素都有重量,不像是貼上去的薄板。斷面的加工與正面相同,沒有另外包邊。避免:使用薄板貼皮做出假的厚度、把邊緣做成斜切讓厚度看起來變薄、在斷面貼上不同材質的收邊、使用過薄的層板顯得單薄。
