Minimalist Architecture - Entrance: The Few Steps from Outside In

A minimalist architectural entrance transition. Upon entering, there is a narrow and dim passage, with thick concrete walls on both sides, a lower ceiling, and the same stone flooring as the exterior, with only a thin seam marking the inside and outside. On one side of the passage wall, a long recessed niche is carved out, with a light strip at the bottom, for keys and small items; on the other side is a long bench of the same material as the wall. At the end of the passage, after turning a corner, the space opens up. Avoid: setting up full-height shoe cabinets and storage walls, adding dressing mirrors and decorations, making the entrance wide and bright, using different flooring materials for the entrance and interior.

一個極簡建築的入口過渡。進門是一段狹窄而昏暗的通道,兩側是厚實的混凝土牆,天花較低,地面是與室外相同的石材,只有一道細縫標示內外。通道的一側牆上挖出一個長條的凹龕,底部有一道燈帶,可以放鑰匙與小物;另一側是一道與牆同材質的長凳。走到盡頭轉個彎,空間才打開。避免:設置整面的鞋櫃與收納牆、加入穿衣鏡與裝飾、把玄關做得寬敞明亮、在地面使用與室內不同的鋪面拼貼。
