Indoor and Outdoor Floor Continuity

An indoor-outdoor continuous interface at an island resort. The flooring extends from the dark teak inside all the way to the outdoor platform, with identical material and laying direction. Only a narrow groove marks where the door slides in; there is no threshold, no height difference. When the door is fully open, it's impossible to distinguish between indoor and outdoor. The outdoor platform ends at a swimming pool or lawn. Avoid: using different flooring materials for indoor and outdoor, adding obvious thresholds and height differences, using doors that cannot be fully retracted, making the platform too narrow to be functional.

一處室內外連續的海島度假界面。地板從室內的深色柚木一路延伸到外面的平台,材質與鋪設方向完全相同,中間只有一道細窄的溝縫標示門扇收進去的位置;沒有門檻、沒有高差。門完全打開時,分不出哪裡是室內哪裡是室外。外面的平台盡頭是泳池或草地。避免:讓室內外使用不同的地材、加入明顯的門檻與高差、使用不能完全收起的門扇、讓平台的寬度過窄無法使用。
