Niche Altar: Recess and Indirect Light

Show a Taiwanese household shrine set into the thickness of a partition wall as a recessed alcove. Render the niche as a clean rectangular opening around 90 centimetres wide and 110 tall, its reveals lined in a warm dark timber contrasting with the pale plaster wall around it, with a crisp square edge and no architrave. Detail a slim timber shelf within at the correct height for offerings, holding an incense burner, candle holders and a small offering plate. Light the niche entirely from a concealed strip behind the top reveal, so a soft warm glow falls down the back panel and no fitting is visible. Show a discreet slot at the top of the niche for smoke extraction. Keep the surrounding wall completely plain so the alcove is the only event on it, and place it so it is visible from the living area but not directly facing the entrance door — an orientation Taiwanese households care about. Include a low bench below and a floor cushion. Warm evening interior light. Photorealistic, straight-on eye-level view.
