Air Conditioning and Vents: Equipment Becomes a Slot

A modern minimalist space with fully integrated air conditioning. There are no wall-mounted units or square grilles on the ceiling, only a linear air supply slot about four centimeters wide, located at the edge of a dropped ceiling or at the junction of the wall and ceiling, and colored to match the ceiling. The return air is hidden behind a grille section above the cabinetry, also matching the surrounding color. The positions of these slots are aligned with the ceiling's division lines, appearing as design elements rather than equipment. Avoid: using wall-mounted air conditioners, using square plastic grilles and louvers, randomly placing air vents, or making the return air vent a prominent metal grille.

一個空調完全整合的現代簡約空間。天花上沒有壁掛機與方形的出風口,只有一道寬約四公分的線性出風縫,設在降板的邊緣或牆與天花的交界處,與天花同色;回風則藏在櫃體上方的一段格柵裡,同樣與周圍同色。這些縫的位置與天花的分割線對齊,看起來像是設計的線條而不是設備。避免:使用壁掛式冷氣機掛在牆上、使用方形的塑膠出風口與百葉、讓出風口的位置隨機、把回風口做成明顯的金屬格柵。
