Cross-Section of a Whole Slab of Rock: Contrast Between Rough and Machined Edges

The main wall is covered with a single 30mm thick rock slab. The surface deliberately retains a rough texture, like a lychee or natural split face, showing mineral particles and subtle undulations. However, the four edges of the wall are sharp, machine-cut straight lines, forming a strong contrast with the rough surface. The TV is embedded in a chiseled square recess in the wall, with a depth exactly equal to the thickness of the TV body, so the screen is flush with the rough surface. The four inner sides of the recess are polished, revealing the true color of the stone. Above the wall, a wall-washing light sweeps down, illuminating the rough texture and casting strong granular shadows.
Avoid: The surface being entirely smooth, the TV being mounted on the wall, the inner sides of the recess also being rough, direct front lighting.

主牆用一整片厚 30mm 的岩板覆蓋,表面刻意保留荔枝面或自然劈裂面的粗糙質地,可以看見礦物顆粒與細微起伏。但牆的四個邊緣是機器切割的銳利直線,與粗糙的面形成強烈對比。電視嵌入牆面一個切鑿出的方形凹槽,深度剛好等於機身厚度,所以螢幕與粗面齊平。凹槽的四個內側面是拋光的,露出石材的真實顏色。牆面上方有一道洗牆光斜掠而下,把粗糙的質地照出強烈的顆粒陰影。避免:表面做成整片光滑、電視外掛在牆上、凹槽內側也做粗面、燈光從正面直射。
