Curved Recessed Niche: A Semicircle Carved into the Wall

A large, curved niche is carved into the center of the main wall, 3 meters wide, 2.6 meters high, with a semicircular arch at the top, and a depth of 400mm. The interior of the niche and the wall surface are made of the same material—hand-troweled lime plaster, in a warm off-white color, but the color inside the niche is one shade darker. The TV is hung in the center of the niche, leaving ample blank space around it. The edge of the niche has no moldings or trim, it's a soft edge where the plaster directly turns. A linear light hidden at the upper edge of the niche washes downwards, creating a gradient from bright to dark on the curved surface of the arch. The flooring is terracotta tiles. Avoid: adding classical moldings and columns to the niche, using different materials inside, making the arch pointed or multi-centered, lighting the TV from the front.

主牆中央挖出一個大型的弧形凹龕,寬 3 公尺、高 2.6 公尺,頂部是半圓的拱,深度 400mm。凹龕內部與牆面是同一種材料——手工抹面的石灰塗料,顏色是溫暖的米白,但凹龕內的顏色略深一階。電視就掛在凹龕的中央,四周留出大量的空白。凹龕的邊緣不做任何線腳或收邊,是塗料直接轉折的軟邊。一道隱藏在凹龕上緣的線型燈往下洗,讓拱的曲面呈現由亮到暗的漸層。地坪是陶磚。避免:凹龕加入古典線板與柱式、內部使用不同材料、拱做成尖拱或多心拱、燈光從正面打亮電視。
