Modern Living · Studio: A Place to Make Things

A space in a home used for hands-on work. In the center is a large, sturdy workbench, with cut marks, paint stains, and tape residue on its surface. On and around the table are ongoing projects: an unfinished ceramic piece, several paintbrushes in a jar, a stack of papers, a sewing machine, and several spools of thread. The walls feature open shelves and pegboards, with tools hanging, each in its designated place but clearly often used. In a corner, there's a bucket filled with scraps. On the floor, a paint-stained cloth. Lighting comes from a large side window providing natural light, supplemented by an adjustable-arm task lamp. Walls and floor are the simplest white and concrete. Avoid: depicting the space as a tidy display studio, removing ongoing works and traces of use, using expensive delicate furniture, storing all tools inside cabinets.

一個住家中用來動手做東西的空間。中央是一張大而結實的工作桌,桌面有割痕、顏料漬與膠帶的殘跡。桌上與周圍是進行中的東西:一件未完成的陶坯、幾支畫筆插在罐子裡、一疊紙、一台縫紉機、幾捲線材。牆上是開放的層板與洞洞板,掛著工具,每一樣都有固定的位置但看得出常被拿下來用。角落有一個裝著廢料的桶。地上有一塊沾了顏料的布。光是大面的側窗自然光加一盞可調臂的工作燈。牆與地是最簡單的白與水泥。避免:把空間畫成整潔的展示工作室、移除進行中的作品與痕跡、使用昂貴精緻的家具、把工具全部收進櫃體。
