Massing Subtraction: Space is Reduced

A warm-toned minimalist space that appears to be carved out of a solid mass. Wall niches, TV placement, sink recesses, and storage openings are all square or arched cavities carved out of thick walls, with inner surfaces matching the wall material and color, and rounded corners; nothing is added on. Thus, the vertical surfaces have only solid and void states, with no attached shelves or cabinets. Avoid: using external shelves and wall cabinets, using different materials for the inner surfaces of niches, adding decorative frames to walls, making storage into volumes protruding from the wall.

一個看起來像從實體挖出來的暖調極簡空間。牆上的凹龕、電視的位置、洗手檯的凹槽、收納的開口,全部是從厚牆裡挖除的方形或拱形空腔,內側與牆同材質同顏色,轉角圓潤;沒有任何東西是加上去的。因此立面上只有實與虛兩種狀態,沒有貼附的層板與櫃體。避免:使用外掛的層板與吊櫃、讓凹龕內側使用不同材質、在牆面加上裝飾性的框、把收納做成突出牆面的量體。
