Korean Modern Living: Low Table, Paper Doors, and a Courtyard

A modern Korean living space. The floor is warm, dark grey flagstone or oiled paper, completely empty. One entire wall is a light-colored wooden grid sliding door covered with Korean paper, with wide and sparse grids, through which light filters into a soft milky white; the door is half-open, revealing an inner courtyard outside, with only a patch of gravel and a single tree. A few naturally curved pine wood beams are visible on the ceiling. In the center of the space is a 30cm high plain wooden low table and two linen cushions. In the corner, a white porcelain pot. Avoid: using sofas and coffee tables of standard height, adding colorful paintings and traditional patterns, using tatami and Japanese grids, hanging paintings on the wall.

一間韓式現代的起居空間。地面是溫熱的暖灰石板或打油的紙面地板,完全空著。一整面是糊韓紙的淺色木格推拉門,格子寬而疏,光透過來變成柔和的乳白;門推開一半可以看到外面的內庭,庭裡只有一片碎石與一株樹。天花可以看到幾根自然彎曲的松木樑。空間中央一張三十公分高的素木矮桌與兩個麻布坐墊。角落一只白瓷壺。避免:使用一般高度的沙發與茶几、加入彩繪與傳統紋樣、使用榻榻米與日式格子、在牆上掛畫。
