The rhythm of the seams: the only line on a wood wall

A wooden wall with regular divisions. The entire wall is divided by panels of equal width, and each joint is a recessed shadow, three millimeters wide and five millimeters deep; the spacing of all joints is identical, and they align with the edges of doors, cabinet openings, and ceiling finishes. In low light, these joints are the only discernible lines, giving a sense of scale to an entire dark wall. Avoid: inconsistent joint spacing, making the joints into protruding strips, misaligning joints with door and window edges, and using overly wide joints that become grooves.

一面有規律分縫的木牆。整面牆被等寬的板材分割,每一道縫是寬三毫米、深五毫米的內凹陰影;縫的間距全部相同,而且與門的邊緣、櫃體的開口、天花的收邊全部對齊。在低光下,這些縫是唯一讀得出來的線條,它們讓一整面深色的牆有了尺度。避免:讓分縫的間距不一致、把縫做成外凸的壓條、讓縫與門窗的邊緣錯開、使用過寬的縫變成溝槽。
