The Stopping Point of Wood: Where to Halt

A place where the wood stops. Dark wood will not cover the entire room; it stops at a certain line: it could be a vertical boundary from floor to ceiling, or the position of a beam on the ceiling. After it stops, it transitions to dark gray mineral paint or stone. The junction is a 6mm wide recessed shadow gap, with the two materials meeting directly without trim. The position of this stopping point is deliberate, not arbitrary. Avoid: letting the woodwork stop at an unclear position, adding metal or wooden trim strips at the junction, letting the woodwork cover all surfaces, having angled or shaped junctions between wood and paint.

一處木作結束的地方。深色木不會包滿整間房子,它在某一條線上停下來:可能是一道從地板到天花的垂直分界、可能是天花的某一根樑的位置;停下來之後接的是深灰的礦物塗料或石材。交接處是一道寬六毫米的內凹陰影縫,兩種材料直接對上沒有壓條。這條止點的位置是被決定過的,不是做到哪算哪。避免:讓木作停在不明確的位置、在交接處加金屬與木製的收邊條、讓木作包滿所有表面、使木與塗料的交界出現斜角與造型。
