Organic Modern・Kitchen: Rounded Countertop and Terracotta

An organic modern kitchen. The island is a monolithic volume, covered in beige-brown microcement, with all four corners and the front edge of the countertop featuring large rounded corners. The base is continuous with the floor, without a recessed toe kick. The cabinetry also features continuous curved surfaces, with handleless doors that open via angled cutouts, and the color is identical to the walls. There are no upper cabinets; instead, two thick open shelves of solid wood are installed, with natural wood grain undulations preserved at the edges, holding hand-thrown ceramic bowls and coarse pottery jars. The walls are clad with handmade terracotta tiles, each varying slightly in color and size. The sink is carved from a single block of stone. Two woven rattan pendant lights hang from the ceiling. Avoid: using straight-edged countertops and square cabinets, adding stainless steel and high-gloss surfaces, using machine-produced uniform tiles, installing ceiling recessed lights.

一間有機現代的廚房。中島是一個一體成型的量體,以米褐色微水泥包覆,四個轉角與檯面前緣全部是大圓角,底部與地面連續沒有踢腳凹槽。櫃體同樣是連續的曲面,門片無把手,以斜切開口開啟,顏色與牆面完全相同。上方不做吊櫃,改為兩層厚實的原木開放層板,邊緣保留自然的木紋起伏,上面放著手拉坯的陶碗與粗陶罐。牆面貼著手工燒製的赤陶磚,每一塊的顏色與尺寸略有差異。水槽是一整塊石材挖鑿而成。天花懸掛兩盞藤編吊燈。避免:使用直角的檯面與方正的櫃體、加入不鏽鋼與高光表面、使用機器量產的均勻磁磚、加裝天花嵌燈。
