Warm Minimalism・Stairs: Solid Wood Treads and Hidden Seams

A warm minimalist indoor staircase. The treads are thick light brown solid wood, 6cm thick, one end embedded in the wall, the other cantilevered, with no visible stringers or structure, each step appearing to grow out of the wall. The junction between the tread and the wall is a thin, dark seam. The handrail is a slender, unlacquered brass rod, directly fixed to the wall, extremely thin. The walls are warm white lime plaster, completely blank. Lighting consists of a very small light embedded in the side wall every three steps, casting light horizontally across the tread surface and leaving a clear shadow line on the next step. The space beneath the staircase is left empty, with a ceramic pot on the ground. Avoid: adding balusters and stringers, using metal and glass structures, hanging pictures on the wall, using ceiling lighting instead of side-mounted stair lights.

一座暖調極簡的室內樓梯。踏板是厚實的淺褐實木,厚度達六公分,一端嵌進牆體、另一端懸空,沒有可見的側板與結構,每一階像從牆上長出來的板。踏板與牆的交接處是一道細細的暗縫。扶手是一根未上漆黃銅的細圓桿,直接固定在牆上,極細。牆面是暖白的石灰塗料,完全留白。照明是每三階的側牆上嵌著一盞極小的燈,光橫向掠過踏面並在下一階留下清楚的陰影線。樓梯下方的空間留空,地面上放著一只陶甕。避免:加入欄杆立柱與側板、使用金屬與玻璃的結構、在牆上掛畫、使用天花照明取代側向的階梯燈。
