The Difference from Neo-Tradition: One Does Hardscaping, the Other Softscaping

A contemporary classical mixed-style interior with a contemporary structural shell. New traditional style would focus on hard finishes: wainscoting, moldings, five-panel wooden doors, arched openings. Here, the architectural shell is a clean contemporary space: flat white walls, simple baseboards, flush doors, and square openings. The classical feel comes entirely from the furniture and soft furnishings placed within. Therefore, the same space would become modern if the furniture were changed. Avoid: adding wainscoting and intricate moldings to the walls, using arched openings and classical door frames, creating a ceiling with decorative cornices, allowing the architecture itself to have obvious historical vocabulary.

一個空間骨架是當代的古典混搭室內。新傳統會在硬裝上做文章:護牆板、線板、五片式木門、拱形開口。這裡的建築殼體是乾淨的當代空間:平整的白牆、簡單的踢腳、齊平的門、方正的開口。古典感完全來自放進去的家具與軟裝。因此同樣的空間換掉家具就會變成現代風。避免:在牆面加入護牆板與繁複線板、使用拱形開口與古典門套、把天花做成有線腳的造型、讓建築本身帶有明顯的歷史語彙。
