A Point for Drinking Water: A Small Sink on the Wall

A water point in a Mediterranean modern residence. A small stone or ceramic sink is embedded in the wall, about one meter high, with a simple black iron faucet above it, and a shallow basin and drain hole below. A small area of hand-painted glazed tiles is set into the wall around the sink to prevent splashing. A linen towel and a ceramic cup hang nearby. This point is usually located in the courtyard, arcade, or a passage outside the kitchen. Avoid: using modern stainless steel sinks and sensor faucets, making the water point a decorative display, adding large areas of tile mosaic, placing the sink far from the main circulation path.

一處地中海現代住宅的取水點。牆上鑲著一個小的石砌或陶製水槽,高度約一米,上方一根簡單的黑鐵水龍頭,下方是一個淺淺的接水盆與排水孔。牆面在水槽周圍鑲了一小片手繪釉磚防潑。旁邊掛著一條麻布巾與一個陶杯。這個點通常設在庭院、拱廊或廚房外的通道上。避免:使用現代的不鏽鋼水槽與感應龍頭、把取水點做成裝飾性的擺設、加入大面積的磁磚拼貼、讓水槽的位置遠離動線。
